Dollar Store Chandelier

I finally got around to making my chandelier (idea from Dollar Store Crafts) from materials I picked up at Dollar Tree. I purchased a black wire hanging planter, about 10 girls necklaces, 1 purple bead garland and purple floral wire for this project. I still need to add the actual light, but you can get the idea of what it will look like.

Mega Couponing Class

Just attended a presentation sponsored by my local newspaper, the Daily Breeze, about clipless couponing using GrocerySmarts.com. This website not only lists all the weekly grocery and drug store deals in your area, it also lists all the coupons available in the Sunday circular and provides a customizable shopping list. This system is made for 'clipless' couponing, where instead of poring over each weeks coupons and clipping ones you might want, you file the whole circular and only clip the coupons once you find a matching deal. The website also saves you from having to search through each grocery and drug stores ad and trying to remember what coupons you can use.

The good news is I already have about a months worth of circulars saved up as I haven't had time to start clipping, so I have a head start.

If you are in the South Bay Daily Breeze area, I would highly recommend attending this event. Not only do you get some great money saving tips and resources, they are also giving away goody bags and special incentives to subscribers who sign up for additional Sunday service.

If you missed this event, you can still check out tipresource.com to learn about 'clipless' couponing and dailybreeze.com/grocerysmarts to get started with our local offers.
