Just Say NO!
Nancy Regan had it right. As mommies we are constantly bombarded with questions. Most of which we answer with no. "Mommy, Can I jump off the house? NO! Mommy, Can I paint the Dog? Nope! Mommy, can I grow up to be a cat? Sorry no, but you can pretend. Mommy, is no your favorite word? No, its yes but I don't get to say it often.
So when the chance comes up for us to say yes it is really exciting. The big one is "can I buy this item for really cheap or free?". Yes! Do I need forty just cause I can? Every part of us is screaming yes its free get as many as you can. I think this way to but alas I also think about the mom coming after me. Her three kids pinching each other, throwing cookies and suckers in the basket when she is not looking trugding to the last items on her list the free thing she needs. Then bam she gets there and not a one on the shelf. ( by the way that has been me so many times) I hate heading to the store just to find all the items are long gone.
I think the major lesson we all need is moderation. If you need forty to last six weeks then by all means get them. If you are planning on donating them go for, but really if they are going to sit in your pantry until ten years from now, why oh why do you get them. I know they are free, but lets share that freebie with someone else. You can always special order them if you want.
Couponing can become an extreme sport if you let it, but I just do not have the energy to make that happen. I just wanna save a few bucks (ok more than a few) each week and keep the people I love fed and happy. If your an extremer have fun but please please think about us little guys out there and Nancy Regan it.

Coupon Class
I sucked it up and went to coupon class with Desirae. She was featured on TLC's Extreme Couponing. Some fun to know facts about her episode they filmed for 24 hours, 7 hours was in the store, 3 of that was spent in checkout. She will admit that she does not shop like that when she goes. She shops like most of us. I find that hard to believe but I went into the class with an open mind. I purposely sat out of line of sight and listened. So many people were overwhelmed with the information. She basically read from a handout.
A few of the keys items I took away were:
Desirae keeps 3 binders. One for food, one for non-food (paper and cleaning), and one for Target coupons. The binders she has for food and non food are the Mead 5 Star zipper binders. I've seen those as cheap as $10 at Wal-mart, her binder for Target is just a thin 1/2" to 1" binder. She uses baseball card holders for most of the coupons, she had a few in there that were longer so I'm not sure if they were photo holders or what. She has her binders divided by food type, not aisles. She commented that if you shop several stores then the aisle methods isn't always helpful since aisles vary by store.
Something I found interesting is the order in which she hands the cashier her coupons. I hadn't really thought about it. She hands the cashier her mfg q's first, then store coupons, and if it applies Register Rewards, CVS extracare bucks.
Make sure you read your coupons. Per purchase and per transaction do not mean the same thing. With P&G coupons you can't use more than 4 of the same coupon in the same transaction.
As a group we need to find recycling centers in Salisbury, China Grove and in between. Many coupons just tossed out and could be our profit. Also, check with your neighbors, if they aren't going to use their coupons see if you can have them. Please do not take the papers you see sitting in someones driveway without their permission, by law it is stealing.
The important thing is not to get bogged down if you don't save 90%, save what you can. Start small and work your way up. Remember most sale cycles are 6 weeks. Get what you need at a good price to last you 6 weeks.
A few of the keys items I took away were:
- Organization. Whether it is a binder, accordion file or whatever works for you.
- Lists. She says to make 2 lists. One of items you need with your coupons and one for freebies.
- Know your coupon polices. When in doubt print it out.
- Money saved is money saved regardless if you have a coupon or not.
- Know how many coupons you are going to use when you check out. This way you can check your receipt and make sure you have that many taken off your receipt.

How to Stay Sane When Shopping with Kids
Most of you reading this will have to laugh at the idea of a easy trip to the grocery store with kids. I have a 9, 2, and 3 year old so I now what its like. I think about all those times before I had kids and I would say "seriously can't they control that kid" and have to say karma is coming around. My youngest has been blessed with her ability to scream like a victim in a horror movie. So that everyone in the store shoots me dirty or pityting looks. I have to say I really appreciate the pity because that is a veteran of the supermarket meltdown war. It gives me strength because they made it through alive.
So here are my tips for an easier trip to the grocery store.
Give Them a Job
Logan is the produce bag guy and bottom shelf man (and the mom won't see this thing I throw in the cart kid),
Kylie scratches items off my list as we buy them (or as she sees fit)
Paige either keeps the real list and if the control freak in me allows the coupons or I have her keep a tally of what we spend.
Plan Ahead
When you are making a list try to use the supermarket as your guide. However your store is setup follow that plan. If you walk in and its produce first that should be your first items on your list. Too keep my impulse buying down I shop the perimeter first then hit only the aisle I need. When you are making your list write down what coupons you are going to use and there value. I put these in a envelope. That way you don't have to look through your binder for each item.
Be Fast
You are only going to get a certain amount of time before the world ends so do not go in with the idea of a leisurely stroll through the supermarket. Go in ready to rock and roll. As you get used to shopping with coupons and sales it becomes much easier to do.
Be a Goof
I have no shame when it comes to making sure my kids re having fun. I am that weird mom that duck walks the aisle or pretends that we are on a secret mission to free the frosted flakes. I find accents are a big hit when talking with the meat man or deli person. (the kids love it)
When All Else Fails
Just grab whatever you have to have, pay and run. Its really not worth the time and frustration some days.

Romano's Macaroni Grill $5off
I just wanted some chicken!
Well I have to say this week was a bad meal planning week. I had a few items still leftover on the list and the major one that sounded so good was Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken.
http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/slow-cooker-barbecue-chicken-50400000112435/
I had been drooling over this for days but every time I went to make it something came up or my "I cannot stand one more minute today" attitude defeated it. So Thursday I was determined to make it happen. So I popped out the slower cooker and realized it didn't have a lid. Then realized why. Kylie knocked it off the counter 6 weeks ago, it shattered and I didn't get a new one yet. Ok cancel Thursday but Friday for sure I told myself.
Friday upon inspection of Kohl’s great sales (insert sarcasm 5% off) on kitchen appliances I decided to borrow my mother in laws. Genius I know, why I didn't think of it Thursday?
My motley crew and I stop by pick it up and we eat happily ever after right?
Um no Kylie knocks it out of the car on accident when we pull up to the house, and wait for it .........the lid shatters!
So I gave up. I settled for grilling chicken breast, snuck in cabbage in the mashed potatoes and boiled the first corn of the season. All in all it was a fantastic meal and I did get bbq chicken but I still want to try the other recipe.

My advice is shop these deals early they do not last long. Also HT only allows 3 like coupons per trip and will only triple up to 20 coupons per day. Remember to smile at the cashier and ask them how they are. A good attitude goes a long way to making your shopping trip easier. (I know almost immposible with kids screaming, a million people trying to get there shopping done and some sweet person stopping to talk when you only have five minutes till you have to be somewhere.)
TLC Extreme Coupon Fraud
CIC Position on Extreme Couponing
May 5, 2011.
The Coupon Information Corporation (CIC) expresses our great disappointment with TLC’s current series, Extreme Couponing, and hereby offers our expertise and other assistance to TLC and Sharp Entertainment (which produces the show) to enhance the program with more accurate and realistic information. In addition, we hope they address potentially illegal acts that appear to have been portrayed on the show.Professionals in the coupon industry believe this show creates unrealistic expectations about how coupons work and promotes the misuse of coupons. For example, the show appears to portray coupons being used in violation of the terms and conditions printed on the coupons, such as using coupons to obtain products other than those specified by the coupon offer, and focuses on consumers who have procured large quantities of coupon inserts from unknown sources, which may raise civil and/or criminal issues.
In real life, individuals attempting to use such large quantities of coupons or attempting to use them in violation of the terms stated on the coupons would most likely have their coupons refused at the register or, depending on the circumstances, be investigated by law enforcement. According to media reports, TLC recently stated,
“While the series documents extreme couponing strategies, we take any concerns about specific tactics seriously and are looking into the situation.” We look forward to hearing what TLC discovers.
The CIC’s and other industry experts’ previous offers of assistance to the producers to make this an educational show were previously turned down. Nevertheless, we stand ready to help in the event the producers or TLC reconsider their path and seek to turn this into a show that accurately reflects appropriate coupon strategies and use, which would result in real benefits for TLC’s viewing audience.

Three Principles to Saving Money at the Grocery Store
Three Principles to Saving Money at the Grocery Store
The First is Plan Ahead
Take the time to look at whats on sale and make a list of items that you will be saving at least 40% on. This is really where most of your savings come from.
Use this list to make a Menu Plan. I try every 2 weeks to make a menu plan. I don't always stick to it and really as long as I have enough meals planned out then we interchange them as we feel like it. I try to have at least half of the meals be something that is a quick fix, (Tacos, Spaghetti, Hot dogs Mac & Cheese, Salads, Crockpot dinners) Also don't forget lunches and breakfasts. Generally I don't make a meal plan for these I just have easy access food on hand.
The Second is Coupons
To really get the most savings possible use coupons. There are tons of coupons out the just waiting to be redeemed. Some store will double your coupons to save you even more. When you combine the sales and coupons you will see something crazy happen. You start paying pennies for things you used to spend dollars on.
The Third is Stockpiling
This can be the most daunting for most people. To me it sounds like you are setting up your bomb shelter or something. Really its not as bad as it may seem. It simply means stocking up one certain items that you will use in four weeks. An example is my family will have some sort of pasta at least 8 times in 4 to 6 weeks. So if I see pasta that is at my lowest price then I will buy 8-10 packages.
Grocery store run a 4 to 6 week cycle of sales. Which means one week they will have a killer sale on cereal. Then the next week meat or fish and by the 4 or 6 week its cereal again. There are many ways you can determine your lowest price. I keep it in my head others like a list. (You can easily make one on excel. I will put up an example in a later post.)
I hope this helps you get your savings started and really if you do nothing else but the first step you are saving at least 40%. Good luck and have fun!

Coupon Swap events
Starting this month we will be organizing different events for people to meet and swap ideas and coupons. If you are interested in attending please leave me a comment below. The events will be around the Cabarrus and Rowan Area.
Welcome to NCcouponmommies
Hello everyone and thanks so much for stopping by. This is our very first blog so I thought I would tell everyone who I am. My name is Erica, I am a stay at home mom of 3, a student, and soon part time Pharmacy Tech. Life is throwing my family for curves but we are still riding along just buckled up a little tighter than before. I have been married to my loving husband for 5 years. I have a 9 yr old an almost 3 yr old girl and an almost 4 yr old boy. (Yes I know they outnumber us) My 2 littlest are 10 1/2 months apart so learning to multitask has been a crash course. My parents have recently moved in with us and brought us 2 more mouths to feed and 4 extra hands to help.
So saving money is why your here so I will get down to it.
In the next week or so I will start posting the major ways to save your family cash at the grocery store, drugstores, and at everywhere else I can think of. I will give you the principles to coupons, sale cycles, stockpiling, and all the lingo. One of the things to remember is Do Not Get Overwhelmed! Start slow saving money is easier than you think and can be learned quickly, but if its to much just step back from it and realize this isn't a race or a competition just a new way of shopping.
