Any hints on saving on postage? The PO charges me for a small package every week because the ones I send out are too thick. I like the small manila envelopes you send me. Are they considered a regular envelope by PO or do they charge extra?

I use the 6x9 brown envies. I take a sheet of plain paper and fold it in half. Then I lay out the coupons on one half. Takes a few minutes to do when I have a lot, but the envie is flatter and doesn't have the "bulge" in the middle so it goes as regular mail instead of the higher package rate.

My wonderful teenager doesn't understand that she doesn't need to send any more than 500 texts a month costing me $609 last month.

I did get the bill lowered, because they never told me of the family plan's switch from unlimited when I added a new phone 2 months ago. I now have 4 phones on the plan & I can only have 3??? so they took my daughter off the family plan????

I am so confused. I feel like I spend half my life fighting with people on the phone over money lately.

Happy, happy birthday to you!

Just saying hi to everyone today. I am so tired of getting papers without coupons. Does anyone else have that problem? Why is it that I seem to pick up the one without. But luckily I was able to find some in our local paper. I have to buy the papers from the big city because my small town paper only has 1 set of coupons vs the 2 or 3 that are in the big city papers.

Yes, I have to purchase papers from other cities as I live in a small town also. I learned to check the paper before purchasing at the service station to make sure it has the coupons in it. I also pull from the middle of the stack cause I think there is someone who takes the coupons out of the first couple on the stack.

JKct: I mailed two envies to you yesterday. Sorry for the late start. I have my fingers crossed that they get there in one piece, b/c I needed some tape and didn't have it! If they arrive in shreds, please let me know.

I have another small one that I will try to get out later this week, or throw in w/ next week.

I thought of your big grocery savings yesterday when I hit my all time high at Schnucks. Saved over $18! Yeah! That's pretty good for me!

Have a good rest of the week.

Jey12-sent yours out today. Sorry for the delay. Also, due to a mis-communication I didn't receive any coupons last week so all you are getting this week are mine. However, next week you should be getting a large envie from dznybound. I'll be off the train while in FL for the next 2 sendings so dznybound will be sending to you on 9/27 and 10/4. I'll be back on board on 10/11.

Happy cake day!! Enjoy!

New and Exciting!

After chatting w/ our conductor ShiPoo, we decided that...
Starting October 1, we will track the amount our train saves in coupons each month!
What you need to do:

Check your receipt after a shopping trip, and add the amount saved in COUPONS (not shopper club cards) and the date to the bottom of your post. Let's use lime green - the official disboard color!

Sample:
saved $32.50
10/1

At the end of each month, I will compile and report the total saved and any other fun stats that come from the data. Did I just use fun and data in the same sentence?! I guess you can see why I've offered to do this...

Think it will be exciting and motivating to see how much we're saving!

Thanks, Hanutedmansionmomma, for coming up with this wonderful idea! I think we're going to be blown away by how much money we're saving each month.

Sure hope a lot of us decide to join in and post about all the $$$ we are saving using coupons on our shopping trips.

Hope everyone is having an awesome week!

What a fun idea!!!

 

[jmartinez1895]

I am going to be doing my big shopping trip this weekend, so I will try and remember to post. I can't wait to see how much every one saves.
