Are you seeing double? This is what happens when we coupon.. We double and triple our efforts.  

How did I get started in couponing? I prayed a few years ago and asked the Lord how I could make more money and the Lord spoke to me and said coupon! This was before all the extreme couponing stuff came out on TV. I think you are going to enjoy this little mini course of mine on couponing.. as my methods and thoughts may be different from what you heard and I think you are going to be blessed so would you do me a huge favor? Tell your church womens group, your homeschool group, your couponing friends, facebook, family etc.. to subscribe to this blog I believe you are going to find this information a life changer :) 

So roll up your sleeves and enjoy this intro into couponing

Coupon Course --- "Why Mom Coupons"

Why Mom coupons? Because we are smart women and know how to manage our lives and help our families by giving them the BEST! If you can this week grab your Bible and read Proverbs 31 this is the woman that we model our lives from .. and you can be her too as I think she should be the typical woman not some mythical character. Too many women just wonder around in circles not realizing how much influence and power God has given us in this life. 

Here are some of the things I do for my couponing... 

I buy 10-30 papers a week

Lately it has been just one so don't get discouraged I am going to share all the ways .. 

I want to also encourage those who are willing to teach others this great skill as Moms should teach moms so as you do this class pray about who you can help.... as who mothers moms... other moms. Some girls make good money teaching classes on couponing so please feel free to take this information and share it with your students.

Why do I pay for so many coupons... because you want to start "STOCKPILING COUPONS" why? Because the more coupons you have the more deals you can do. I also have a coupon train you can join to help you in your coupon stockpiling. There are going to be different stages in your couponing so this will determine how many you should get as you keep adjusting the coupons to your family lifestyle and be prepared to readjust as your family grows and leaves the family nest, as you become a grandma, travel, work , stay home.. it is a life style change so you will have changes.

I also want to address the "issues" that are going on in the coupon world today. Example rude store clerks, store policy changes as the masses have embraced coupons, clearing shelves... don't throw stones..  this is an individual thing.. personally I feel  that people can preorder so can you really clear a shelf? , rain checks, etc... 

more.. are you getting so bound up with the coupon idea that you don't just lose your head.. sometimes example if you take the recipe for making homemade laundry soap... my recipe you don't grate the soap ..it's 4 powders tossed together. .. At times you just toss out the coupons and say $20 a year for laundry soap is better than 50% off .. you will still get FREE laundry soap.. but always go with the BEST deals and ONLY buy the products your family loves.. Don't use yucky products or your family will have a lower quality of life and many times you are just wasting your money as these items will get given away at the end of your cycle unless of course it is what I call a B rated product it's fine but just not something you are totally in love with. 

All said .. coupons are a tool and use them wisely and TRUST is what we call money and coupons are money so use them like money the only difference is you can't double your money.

Stay with me on this course and all I ask is that you share with your friends on facebook, twitter, family , church etc.. so that we can get the word out about this blog that is designed to help families live a better quality of life. Please subscribe and help us (Clay and I ) to get the word out..

Should We couponers get less coupons?

Is Direct Sales right for you?

As a couponer I want to address the idea of being a direct seller in the world we live in. My mission is to help the younger women be successful in their lives as I am 50 and have been through a lot of the things the girls are facing in this generation. 

I will be talking about this all over the internet as I do my talk shows and other activities. If you want to join in on the conversation follow me on twitter http://www.Twitter.com/R47R I am retired from direct sales and have no intention of ever getting back as that is a door that my husband and I agree we want to remain shut as we have other interests and don't want to start out at the bottom building things up again. This post is a introduction i so please be sure and stay in the loop as this is a game changer for those of you in any form of sales and will make you or break you so to speak to go to the next level in your business. I come from a long history of sales from owning my own company at 20 and traveling in the southern states with it-- to having 1000's of sign ups in Avon Products Inc. to selling every direct selling thing out there and even going into floor sales where I became one of the  number one sellers  in the entire company of Lazboy the first year I did floor sales. So stay tuned this is going to help you even in your personal life so even if you are not " into " direct sales you may find the tips here helpful in life. 

I personally think direct sales is wonderful for the young mom who wants to stay home and be with her kids and feel like she is still feels the need to work a little outside the hom.  It provides her with rich friendships and a career in sales that in some ways believe it or not is second to none. Because she is "IMMERSED" in it, if she is savy and takes all the training and applies herself she MAY even be able to earn a 6 figure income BELIEVE it or NOT!  The nice thing about direct selling is that it is YOUR own business. You choose the hours, you choose the times, etc.. The world is changing there are many more other opportunities out there for the young mom  today than just  direct sales .When I first got into it and wanted to stay home with my son pretty much the choices were Direct Sales or babysit for 1.00 a hour. Now there are all the online opportunities Blogging,  ebaying, auctions, Babysitting at a normal wage, Cleaning house, etc.. but for the sake of this article we are talking just about  direct sales so don't limit yourself just because you are in direct sales doesn't mean that is what you have to do and where you have to stay do what you love .. remember Direct Sales are YOUR business.

Direct Sales can be a nightmare too-- It can be a shopping club that bankrupts your family of MONEY and your time, it can create conflict with your husband and children. You can be always chasing the carrot and  never seem to get there. YOU MUST run it as a business and if it isn't making money within a reasonable amount of time after car expenses, business  expenses etc.. you should look elsewhere unless of course you decide that you just want it for products for yourself at a discount as a personal shopper. Being honest with yourself and  tuning out  all the REASONING and voices from uplines (who are profiting from you ) and hired company people (who get a check and bonuses from your work) ... when I was in Direct sales I had a covering of a few business people that WERE NOT in my business who owned big companies that I would discuss my business with. They were my mentors so that I could think for myself and of course I must add this.. You DO need your company people to train you, encourage you and show you the ropes.. but you Also need people in business OUTSIDE that you can toss some ideas too so that you don't get what I call the robot factor where you aren't really running like a business and don't have both feet on ground... you need to be a business person and have both feet on ground and be in the know all around you.  Each company has it's own agenda and each person is different so each situation  can be dramatically different but this is the beauty of direct sales you can usually find a shoe that fits for your family in some company. But the bottomline is  YOU have to be either making money or not and that is where you can say Direct Selling was my godsent or Direct selling is NOT for me. I am hoping to also include in my little tour people who are involved in direct selling so that if you are interested in a company you will have a go to person to sign up with or to have a party with.  Many many great companies  you may not be great at selling one company 's thing but you may excel at some other company.


Couponing and Direct sales... Direct sales too can be a awesome tool as you can even say hey why pay full price for make up I can get it at example Avon, Mary Kay, Beauticontrol..etc.. for a deep discount? And even sell a bit to pay for it! A definite plus for your family and you can choose your own hours around your regular job, being a mom, and of course your couponing! 

Don't forget to subscribe to my blog . and if you are in direct sales please contact me on twitter have your downline subscribe and  I am hoping to hook up with some of you to share your opportunity with my friends online :) God bless :)

Know your coupon policies

If you love shopping at
Walmart...here is their coupon policy go to http://corporate.walmart.com/coupon-policy

Trouble in Paradise

Trouble in paradise...

While shopping this week I ran into a store that didn't know any of their corporate rules. As I stood there with my coupons and my products trying to explain to the workers their rules I thought well, I will just leave my things and worry about it tommorrow... which brings me to this.... If you find yourself in a store that didn't train their workers on how to use coupons politely explain the rules if they don't understand just go home and write a letter to the corporations and ask them to GIVE YOU the deal. You may feel frustration but the goal is to be able to shop by their rules in their stores. You should be following the rules yourself and be a responsible couponer by Keeping up on the rules and policies in the stores you love to shop. The key is to follow the rules the stores have set up and also to do your best at thanking them by shopping there as often as you can even when you don't have a coupon if the prices are the same. I personally think it is smart to address each situation until you iron out any problems or misunderstandings so that the store and you can work together and the shopping experience is following the rules the store sets forth. If you find that they don't honor their own rules then it is best to shop at places that do follow the rules. If you don't want to follow the rules you shouldn't be upset if they have them outlined. So I want to encourage all of us couponers to work hard to learn and know our stuff and to not get frustrated with workers who are not informed but rather to approach the corporations to make sure that they are aware of what is going on in the field so that they can address it and make the shopping experience more pleasurable for us. Everyone wins when we all do the right thing.

Are we getting too many coupons?

Are we so in love with couponing that we are "buying" too many coupons and/or spending too much time couponing?
Right now with the deals that are out there ... the cost of the coupons, the cost of printing ink and many deals being the same old same old ... toothpaste, deoderant, etc... are we  actually spending too much on this endeavor even if you are getting "FREE" coupons? As you could be spending your time doing other things? Would you be better off switching gears and getting the traditional one paper a week and purchasing only one or two deals as companies are giving less attractive deals such as buy 4 four for 1.00 off vs 1 for 1.00 off ... as the Woman of Power (CeO of your own home... I call us the women of power as we take back our roll as the wives, mothers and Christian nation that we are.) would it be better for us to just buy 1 paper and get many deals for 50 cents off , etc... using our reward cards, points, etc.. and saving the money and time we would put into newspapers and time clipping and perhaps gearing towards other activities? Such as learning how to garden ... freeze, can, how to shop for deals on say ... better electric , saving on plants, home decor, etc... and the other things in our lives that we find ourselves constantly consuming... maybe we need to rethink what we are doing for entertainment and finding deals etc... as we as women have researched, found our place and perhaps there are other adventures and mountains to climb. ... example... would it be cheaper for you to stay home and not use car, only use the net for tv using netflix.com ... shopping second hand or deep discount places like walmart unless you are getting at least 75% off or no deal for clothing... are you watching to make sure your grocery stores aren't just jacking the prices up and manufacters while offering good coupons... as the Woman of power in your home... take accounts of your business and look at what you can change to make your home (business... your home is your business run smoothly) ... I urge you to take accounts and then adjust the plan for your family as couponers to run efficiently we need to look over our plan to run our homes. It's not just coupons it is everything to run your home wise. You shouldn't live a cheap life but living in the lap of luxury how is this done.. by taking into account what is going on and to make adjustments and rethink your plan periodically. 

Relaxation... With summer approaching... I want to encourage you to start your spring cleaning so you can have lots of hazy lazy days this summer!!!

Save on medical bills ... 

Air quality is something that we ignore in all of our efforts to save money. I had not had plants for years and last year I began to collect plants again in my house and noticed that I felt much better. I have a palm which is noted to really clean up the air some suggest putting plants in your bedroom and if you are stuck in a stuffy office you may want to do the same. With spring approaching rapidly consider scoring some indoor plants which you can probably find on the cheap as I bought my HUGE palm for only $5 at Lowes as many of these will be on the clearance rack now.

 Women of Power moment... think of the smart women of old... they stepped to the plate... some worked , some stayed home... but they KNEW how to run their homes.. .

Freebies, couponing and much more... Some of you may not know that I picked up couponing as a hobby after being in sales , business... yadda yadda for years. I am pretty much retired and felt like the Lord was directing me to do this to help my family as now I am home full time. Here is a thought I want to shoot out for all of you who are couponing... Don't just save on coupons... Save on EVERYTHING!!! Teach yourself to do your own repairs, and to save where  it makes sense... but not to live like a  poor old soul,  but rather so you can purchase those things you want. Don't buy into being wasteful or the thought that you are a HOARDER if you have things stored for your family. That is just stupid. I am talking to you as a Mom... at age 50... I would say store everything that won't go bad but the things that will don't store... Think of buying enough food , etc.. for 2 years... but not things like cereal that will go stale only buy enough that will taste good. Be the boss of your home and don't get swayed by every silly idea out there... Take control of your life and be smart. Run your home as you would a business as the woman of the home. Get enough "SUPPLIES" to get your through so you can keep BUILDING your home... with fun, laughter, and joy in the Lord, and so that you have a little extra to OPEN your hands WIDE to those who trully are in need and not like the foolish women who didn't carry enough oil and just want some of your stash ...but the people that for example Cheri finds out her husband has a girlfriend and she's been a godly woman and now she's trying to start over after 30 years of marriage, or Tracy just found out she is sick and loses her job , you should be handing out your things wisely as it is unfair to your family to "GIVE Away unless it is going to go bad or you by accident did as I did buy 20 boxes of cereal just give them away so you don't have to give them away when they are stale or feed them to the dog. Write down your plan and you can revise it until you find the PERFECT plan that works for you and your family. Trust me it will probably honestly take 5 years to get your shopping, and strategies in order but then you can teach these good principles to your kids.

A Turtle's Tale Sammy's Adventures

A Turtle's Tale Sammy's Adventures

I love to share with  my friends all the great movies we are viewing on Netflix.com I just think that it is such a great savings for my family to have ditched the cable and watch everything online. You can get a month free of Netflix.com just about always. It is great. I enjoyed watching A Turtle's Tale Sammy

s Adventures there. The scenery was unbelievable and the story was very sweet. The life of a Sea Turtle and how hard it was for sea turtles to survive. Pour out the cocoa and bake some cookies and snuggle up with the kids before bedtime for this fun little movie!

Poor Mommas... Don't give up on your couponing...

Have you experienced this in your couponing? You went to get the Newspapers and a RUDE store clerk yells at you? I have. I recently had this happen to me where the store manager came out and said something like I wondered who was taking all of our papers accusing me! I did put several papers in my cart but had not been the one taking the coupons. I was really embarrassed. I politely put the papers back except for the two I was allowed. These were papers I was going to pay for not free ones. I am a perferred shopper at that store and spend quite a bit. Here is what to do.. When I got home I took the register receipt and did the survey honestly and told them about my experience at the store. When you shop you should always take your receipt to let corporate know how your shopping experience went. I have not heard back from corporate yet. Here is my thought if a store doesn't care about your business go to the competition... but in the meantime until you get a response go to the other stores in the chain why should the chain get punished for the behavior of employees. Also it isn't a bad idea to share a solution. Everyone needs to be tolerant in these times of couponing where there is a lot of misunderstandings such as not realizing that TLC's extreme couponing part of it was to show what could be done... Most of the people said they never did a trip like that before... It is only logic if you purchase 1,0000 coupons from a online source for a particular coupon you would normally get 5 of for free and you were going to do the show so you bought more and preordered and the store knew you were coming with TLC etc.. it could happen that way.. not the real world.. Many people actually believe it is just like that.. they don't realize people donate etc.. example christimas time they may make plans with a church etc.. and they get those coupons etc.. for a specific purpose.. So all over the board there is a lot of misunderstandings. Store clerks cop attitudes because couponers come in rude and demanding not realizing that they have jobs they have to keep too. All said across the board everyonne needs to not JUMP ahead ...but like driving.. Be on defensive driving not offensive.. If a problem arises example one of my favorite stores had a manager be rude.. when I normally just did my thing and leave... and actually I have a deal with another place that saves my papers for me and they are Happy for my business a gas station as a result I eat there, get gas there send all my friends there. They are very good to me so why wouldn't I? I went shopping a few times lately and I found that I experienced a few very rude clerks I didn't experience this ever before but once and I had a rain check for 25 Splenda and the manager came out and was mad at another employee in another store so I just said oh I won't cash them in as I didn't want the other girl to lose her job... People make honest mistakes in the world of couponing and I wasn't going to DEMAND my Splenda as hey it's only couponing..  My thought was the manager should have given it to me and approached the regional and said we aren't used to the couponers let's have a class on this and not to punish the other girl either as people will make mistakes needless to say I don't go to that store because the manager was embarrassing. I didn't write to corportate but I do shop at the other store in that chain as the workers are nice. So both sides of the table everyone..Work well and the corporations that don't want your business just don't shop there... remember the workers are still learning ... and you need to overlook a lot... if a store manager is rude...don't give up on the store just shop at another store in that chain... unless the corporation acts like they don't want your business then why would you ever shop there? Just wanted to address this. Bottomline... Shop til you drop and take situations with a grain of sand unless it is so out of control you are FORCED to address it.

Save big by ditching cable!

 Do you know who this is?

I am sharing one of my indulgences... This is Jessica Fletcher... Angela Landsbury. When my husband  told me we were getting rid of our cable I thought it would be horrible.. but it was actually the opposite! I enjoy watching my shows 100% more now that I CHOOSE what I watch instead of having things tossed at me that I just get! We have cable for the internet only and watch all of our shows on tv and on Netflix.com. My favorite show is now the current show that I choose to watch from season 1 all the way through to the end of the whole series. Of late I have been watching Murder She Wrote with Angela Landsbury who plays Jessica Fletcher it is so much more fun. It may take me a week or a month to get through my show.. if I get bored with a show I can watch other shows and Netflix is great because all I do is click and back where I left off. My mom just signed up for netflix too. You can also watch hulu.com or redbox.com most of these will give you a month free including Netflix. I like Netflix the best. I can still watch Hulu.com, crackle, you tube, etc.. Right now I am the only one that watches TV like this that I know. Honestly, there is not a show that I know of that I am missing that I want to watch. I don't see the difference in having a smart TV. All said if you want to save big you may want to do the math for your area. figure on the cost of cable and then netflix. We don't get the DVD as we found that there is so much to watch with live streaming we didn't have time to watch the DVDs.  Please share this with your family and friends and don't forget to subscribe!

How I got started in couponing

 I wanted to share with you all how I got started in couponing. I had just went through a divorce after 22 years of being the faithful good wife, my ex-husband  had constantly been cheating with girlfriends and was emotionally and physically abusive. I remember one day he attacked me with a iron board and another day he punched me full force in the neck after having a car accident that totalled my car as the other guy was talking on his cell phone.  I was restarting my life. I remarried a wonderful Christian man and I was asking God how I could make more money. Divorce is costly and I was unemployed from a great job in sales earning 500-1500 weekly. Relocating to a small town of around 500 was a lifechanger and even more lifechanging was the rural lifestyle I now embracing. As I prayed I felt like the Lord told me to coupon. This was right before all the Extreme Couponing Shows came out. I was so blessed that I had acess to this training online and through sites of the women who had pilgrimed in this new field. I quickly realized that couponing was just like getting paid $90 a hour as some say it is worth and that the smart savy business women with brains were involved. That this was a field any woman could embrace and learn if she just devoted herself to the research and training that was FREE and available to her. I found that Extreme couponers were very generous sharing their excess stock and were happy to help others learn their trade. For myself I set up some rules. Only buy the BEST The bible says to fill your homes with Precious things ... Example bounty paper towels are strong and I can dry my hands on one rehang it and use it again after it dries out compared to a cheaper brand that just falls apart in my hand as I am cleaning, Don't purchase food your family doesn't like. My husband loves a certain brand of cereal I don't see coupons for... I just buy it and figure if I stockpile it I don't have to purchase it weeks I am low on the buck. This is where coupon overage is good to pay for his cereal. I want to have a pleasant home not one with crazy rules.. Yes we can purchase food we LOVE with no coupons. God calls us to peace and a good life. I found great sites to print off coupons like coupon.com, save.com, smartsource.com and others. And found that to pay for newspapers and magazines was just a wash as I could shop for free everyday once I filled my pantry for a year then I would only have to buy products at the lowest price for the year. The initial filling your pantry is the hard part. Once you have enough of what you need for a year then you just wait for the sales. In the beginning you just have to do the best you can. Also I found the joy of getting FREE stuff sent to me by phoning and emailing companies and so much more... I also learned that this was embracing much more than couponing I could save on EVERYTHING... and also I saw that you could play SWEEPSTAKES to get free stuff, and trade with other people...example If you give a bag of clothes to someone... they may give you stuff they don't want. It is a win, win, not that you want to beg your friends and family for stuff but before you toss your old books you may think Linda loves to read and then Linda may be so happy she may think the same thing I am going to toss out all these books and she will think oh Ruthie gave me these books I bet she won't feel insulted if I give her these. The point is that your friends know you won't feel "INSULTED" if they give you there old JUNK... I used to give a bag of clothes to my sisters and they would say I don't want clothes.. I 'd say even if you found one pair of jeans that is $50 you didn't have and can bring the rest to the Rescue Mission. Every bit of PRACTICAL savings helps your famiily grow and to have money for bills etc. I think it is a lifestyle of GIVING to others and helping. And in turn God helps you. Most couponers are extreme givers because they have empowered themselves. I had problems with giving to the point of giving away my initial bootcamp stockpile (the core stockpile) when I first got started. I also learned that is very foolish as a wife and mother and we should only give of our overflow and when the Lord speaks to us.

Save Sweepstaking for REAL!

Here is a picture of a box of candy I won this year. In fact it is 3 weeks into 2013 and I have won 3 x's so far "sweeping" as they call it. I don't think it is any good luck charms or anything like that. I think it is just a numbers game and if you don't enter you can't win. How does sweeping save for your family and WHY would I tell you this "SECRET"? I did a little research and it looks like people are winning about 2 x's a week and that they sell the items they don't want. I don't care if I share this because there are SOOOO many ways to save I just can't do them all and also most people won't do the work because they have to "PUT IN HOURS" filling out forms you can't even enter all the forms in a day for all the sweepstakes. My hearts desire is to HELP women save MONEY. Also if you are a blogger or business I am hoping that you put out some sweeps too so that there are even MORE IN THE FIELD TO HELP FAMILIES. Companies put out sweepstakes to get PR for their products and companies. I will be posting sweepstakes here and on my other sites. I hope you enjoy and win big this year to add to your families income...imagine winning 8 items a month to help out your family. I fill out the forms at the end of the day while we watch TV I just put my laptop on my lap and I love watching all the new products and new blogs and what companies are doing it's fun. If I win I win if I don't oh well. I just pray to the Lord and say if it is your will let them pick my name :) 

Great News!
