Going Nuts? I can help you understand coupon terms and abbreviations

 

Update: It appears this coupon wasn’t meant to be shared and is not working at Lowe’s registers. Coupons.com does a great job in the grocery coupon area but they are just getting into retail coupons, so we will have to give them grace on this one. Thanks to all who emailed/commented.

Heads up DIYers, Coupons.com has a printable coupon for $10 off $50 purchase at Lowe’s!  This coupon is actually listed under their “Coupon Codes” tab, but is a printable coupon.

Once you click on the link, scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Shop Now” to view their coupon codes.  The first one that popped up for me was the Lowe’s coupon.

The coupon is not valid online and is a limit of one per household.  No rush as you’ll have until 5/18 to use it.

    organic living journey beef part 2

    The following is part of an Organic Journey Guest Post Series written by Amy, a long time helper behind the scenes of Southern Savers.

    I started this Journey 8 months ago, in part, to see if it were possible to eat healthy foods on a tight budget.  Many people say that they would buy organics, but they just can’t afford it.  I know that was my mantra for years as well.  Our budgeting software quit functioning shortly after I started this journey and, at the end of February, it completely crashed.  This has caused me to start using a new program which has enabled me to see my spending more clearly (because I’ve been flying blind for months now!)  My observations thus far have been that it truly is possible to eat foods that are good for you and the planet while staying on a reasonable budget.  Switching to organics, the vast majority of the time, hasn’t broken the bank for us.  What I’ve noticed, though, is that prepackaged foods will put me over budget fast.  Crackers from Trader Joe’s might be healthier than their grocery store counterpart, but I’m going to pay for the convenience.  Organic chicken breasts will sink my financial ship, but I can afford buying organic whole chickens.  Healthy cereals even on a good sale add up at the rate my family plows through them, but homemade granola costs a fraction of the price.

    I’ve also realized that I have come to enjoy cooking.  Now, I don’t always enjoy it, don’t get me wrong.  And don’t even get me started on the endless cleaning!  However, what I’m starting to see is that there is a price for everything.  If I want cheap food, I’m going to pay for it with my health and some negative effects on the environment.  If I want healthy, convenient food, I’m going to pay for it with a high grocery bill (even if I shop sales and use coupons).  If I want to eat well on a budget, I am going to pay for it with my time.  Watching my girls totally freak out over my stuffing the cavity of my whole chicken with fresh garlic, lemon, and thyme totally had me rolling my eyes today.  They both were adamant that their husbands would take on that job for them.  I think what encouraged me though was that there was no question that this would be a part of their diets.  I saw that the choices I am making today will have ramifications in future generations, and that gives me some pretty stout motivation to keep trucking.  Even if I did spend 20 minutes after lunch just cleaning up.

    One of the most common questions I get is exactly how much I am spending on groceries.  It is hovering right at $400-$450/month right now for my family of five.  This doesn’t include big stockpiling purchases of meat, honey, and wheat.  We put away part of our tax return each year in savings to pay for these purchases.  Now everything we buy isn’t organic.  I’m still taking baby steps, but for those curious, that’s where we are at now.

    Now, to head back into the land of beef.  Last week, we dove into the first half of our list of problems with conventional beef.  Just the first half of the list was disheartening enough to make my husband want to give up going out to eat at steakhouses and we aren’t through with the list!
