Easy Savings

I had quite an interesting scare this week - my son had a very quick allergic reaction to Nutella (so sad!). Read about it over here at my other blog!

But this week I wanted to share with you one of the easiest way to save a couple extra bucks - no cutting coupons, no organizing, no remembering to take the coupons with you.
SavingStar!

Super simple program - join here. Add your shopper cards from all the stores you shop at.  'Clip' coupons and purchase the items. Once the stores send the data to SavingStar you'll receive an email that your account has been credited.  The wonderful thing about these is you can stack them with store sales, and manufacturers coupons.  As an example - Giant Eagle has the Dole Fruit Crisps on sale for $2. There is a .75cent coupon in the 3/25 SmartSource insert. They will double the coupon to $1.50 and there is a SavingStar coupon for .50.... making it FREE!

Buy 1 DOLE Fruit Crisp, Save 50¢

There are four ways to collect your rewards - direct deposit into your checking account, PayPal deposit, Amazon.com gift card, or donation to American Forests (for each $1 donated a new tree is planted).

Do this all year and by the holidays you'll have a nice chunk of change to put towards shopping!
