Links for Websites

Welcome to our blog. Here I would like to start sharing what we covered in class and add things that were requested by class members. We had two new members come, friends of Amanda Clawson, Stephanie and Laura. We were excited to share the fun.

Grocery Smarts is a website that posts all the local grocery store ads and then matches them up with the manufacturers coupons. You pick the store and then it will list all the items on sale and then what it will be if you add the coupon to the sale. You can pay just a fraction of the regular or sale cost. If you would like to print out only the items you are interested in, just read the special note at the top of the local store you selected to shrink the page. Just keep in mind, some weeks are better for matching the coupons to sales than others. It rotates and come in seasons.

Budget101.com has a forum page about meals that are $2.50 or less for each serving. The site has a lot of great ideas of making your dollar go further. Like making homemade gifts or making your own ketchup, if you are interested.

Blue Chip Group is a local manufacturer of some food storage and bulk food items, specifically Morning Moo milk, which is a great alternative I use for milk. It tastes pretty good and is less expensive. They also carry things other than what they manufacture, which makes it a fun food storage shopping experience. You can print out a pricelist to see and compare items.

Walton Feed is a place with great prices for food storage, but they are in Idaho. The shipping is very expensive for such large bulk items. It is most cost effective when ordered as a group of people together to place one large order. But I thought I would let you know. They also have information about wheat grinders on there.

Thrifty.com is another fun place with homemade gift ideas. It full of ideas to live frugally.
