I recently got a heads up about another hot shopping deal site – Buxr. Buxr combines a community of like-minded thrifty folks and shopping bargains together to create a social scene where people can share deals. Every single deal you see at Buxr is shared and rated by the Buxr community.

How does Buxr.com work?
Buxr works like a forum, and members search for hot deals then share what they find. Deals are voted on by the rest of the community and a hotness score is given. The vote can help you make shopping decisions – i.e. a super hot vote probably …read more

Here at Thrifty Mommy, I’m guessing that we all have a shared goal of saving money, but yet, we all go about it differently. For example, as previously noted I won’t take the time to clip coupons, but I will search the thrift store racks for 30 minutes for a pair of $4 jeans before I’d ever head to a real store and pay $30. I make homemade cleaners and won’t pay for cable but I would never shop on Black Friday just to score some deals.
We all have habits. Some of our habits include spending more on some items …read more

Yesterday, I gave a small introduction to stockpiling basics.  You can expect more of these money saving tips in upcoming posts.  Some of you may be wondering what I am stockpiling this week.  This week, I am stockpiling ground chuck.

Food Lion has their ground chuck on sale this week for only $1.69/lb.  Normally, you would pay $3.50 or more per pound for ground chuck.  You certainly don’t want to pay that price when you can stockpile it now on sale for later use.  By the way, if you plan on heading out to Food Lion, you’ll want to check this Food …read more

For those of you who have prescriptions filled regularly, you should be aware of special prescription promotions.  There are many stores that promote extra savings and gift cards for having your new or transferred prescriptions filled at their store. 

Stores such as Target and Rite Aid frequently run prescription promotions.  A typical deal is that the store would offer the customer a $10 gift card for a new or transferred prescription that is filled in their store.  Most promotions usually require a coupon so it is a good idea to keep an eye out for these coupons in your local paper.
Whenever …read more

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I was challenged to use A Full Cup to see how much money I could save and how much I could get for $50.  Well, take a look at these pictures!

A Full Cup is a free online forum where others write about deals, coupons, and savings.  You can find coupon match-ups, printable coupons, and lots of information on saving money.
All of the items here were purchased from Harris Teeter using buy 1 get 1 free sales, coupons, and triple coupon deals.  The items were purchased during two separate visits to the store.
With my experience, everything …read more

I went to Food Lion today, armed with my coupons and list from The Grocery Game.  I was in such a hurry because I had so much to do today.  I didn’t have time to pinch pennies as much as usual, but I did pretty well.
Before the sales and coupons my total was $86.70.  After the sales and coupons I paid about $49, including tax.  This included regular items that we needed such as milk, eggs, bread, etc.  I didn’t buy any meat though.  I try to only buy meat when it is a really great price.  Then I stockpile …read more

Yesterday, I talked about comparison shopping by unit price.  There are a few things to remember about bulk buying or comparison shopping.

If the store you find the best deals at is far from you, consolidate trips or choose wisely.  You might do without for a few days until you can justify the trip
If you are out of only 1 or 2 items, it might be more frugal for you to get it locally if the price isn’t that big a difference.
Make sure you know your prices and watch sales.  I know that I can get Huggies diapers for 23 cents …read more

Karen and I want to celebrate with you on the deals you got either on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.  So tell us what you found and how much you saved.  We want to celebrate with you!  My favorite deal was actually my mother-in-law’s deal.  My nephew’s list included a Little Tikes Wide Tracker for $21.  We found a similar item from Fisher price for $12.  We just happened to find it while we were waiting in line.  You just have to love running across a great deal like that.
So tell us what you found.  I bet you guys found …read more
