As an affiliate of We Use Coupons, Nathan Engels e-mailed this morning and said if I want to send him an e-mail interview he’d be glad to answer some questions.  I know many of you have watched TLC’s Extreme Couponing that Nathan was featured on.  I personally am not a fan of the show (just because the show is called extreme doesn’t make the practice necessary or realistic-I’d prefer to see them teaching how to coupon instead of flamboyance) but {Read More}

IMHO, skip em’ this week folks.  I just didn’t see anything worth fussing over.  We all need a break anyway!  If I missed anything good please do leave a comment and let us know though.

I’m taking some time off everyone.  With the exception of an occasional great find (like the chick-fil-a deal) I won’t be posting.  Wishing you all a very merry Christmas.  I’ll see you back (hopefully at www.texasthriftypenny.com) after the new year!

Sorry everyone, We’re in the midst of a birthday party for a group of 2-3 yr olds this weekend with out of town guests to boot.  I just haven’t been able to get the review up.  I’ll strive to get it up sometime during this coming week.  I hope everyone is gearing up for some great deals at CVS and Walgreens starting Thursday!!!

When we got married 9 years ago we received a set of really nice nonstick cookware. I had never even heard of nonstick before this. Well, over time they seem to get harder and harder to clean. Hmmm, wonder why? My mother’s cookware is still super easy to clean and you know what? It’s cast iron! A few weeks back Pary Moppins posted a series about the great qualities of cast iron. She even took a super rusty skillet and {Read More}

If you’re like me and you head out to the store each Sunday to buy your paper, don’t forget it’s a holiday weekend and there won’t be any coupon inserts. Enjoy a break in your weekly spending. The Dallas Morning News is an expensive paper! I would just buy the Tyler Morning Telegraph at about half the cost, but it also has about half the coupons. BTW, I’m thinking about getting a mail subscription to my old newspaper because it {Read More}

I thought I would post the coupons in the upcoming month’s magazines that I subscribe to so you will know if buying them will benefit your family.

Tomorrow’s newspaper will only have one insert – a Smart Source. I see several good coupons though. Huggies, Tide, Glade, Clorox and GM cereals to name a few. All the same I think I’ll just get one paper this week….

Before you throw out todays’ paper be sure to check the Parade Magazine. Today’s has a $1/1 Cinnabon product (currently munching on their yummy cereal) and a $1/2 Fruit of the Loom packaged underwear or casual sportswear item. Update: Walmart has toddler packs of underwear for 4.88. If your little one is a fan of the characters fruit of the loom uses, this coupon could come in handy.
