Woolite Rug Stick....SCORE!!
So there I was....
That is how most of my OMG stories start and this one is no different. As a couponer you know how hard it is to pay full price for anything, I dislike Hannaford stores purely for that reason and never usually shop there even though there is one just down the street from me. Well, this morning I had to grab some half and half for my coffee (yes even I can sometimes run out of necessities) in my defense I've just moved and haven't been able to do a haul in over a month (so sorry my coupons...it hurts to see you die!). So there I was in the cold aisle grabbing my cream when I saw a discount bin which had a couple of Woolite Rug Sticks. I didn't have coupons for them but they had $3.00 off coupons on the box. I decided I wanted to give the product a try soooo I grabbed one.
I went to checkout, and they rang up at $3.75 before coupon!!! The coupon being $3.00 off means I only paid $0.75 for the system which is regularly $14.99!!! So being me...I had them put the transaction on hold and ran all the way to the other end of the store and grabbed a second! Be sure to check the bins at Hannaford this week to see if they have the rug stick too!
Soooo here is the math:
Regularly: $14.99
Total Regular Cost: $29.98
Total Sale Cost + Coupons: $1.50
Total Saved: $28.40
Most of you are most likely familiar with the percentage of savings that you hear about on shows like Extreme Couponers. Here is the formula to calculate your percent of savings:
Saved ÷ Value = % Savings
What has been saved is pretty easy to figure out it's what you paid - your total in coupons and store savings. Most stores actually calculate this for you now and it can be found at the bottom of your receipt.
Value is the altogether cost of the items so add your Saved + Paid together. This is the ACTUAL value.
Then just divide these two numbers to get your percentage.
I will use this formula regarding the Woolite Rug Stick deal to show you what I mean:
28.40 (saved) ÷ 29.98 (saved + paid) = .94% Saved
It's always satisfying and extremely important to see your savings percentage. It helps you to see whether you are succeeding or where you may need to change some things. If you can save even 52% or more your doing a fabulous job!

As promised on the show .... Your Guide to Food Expiration and Best Before Dates
Hey gang!
If you heard the show this week, you know that we were talking about how long you can keep items in your stockpile before you should really toss them. Those little dates on the package? Yeah, those aren't really for "us". Those are simply a guide to let the store know how to appropriately rotate their stock. Even if it says "Best Before" or "Freshness Guaranteed Until", those dates are truly meaningless once they hit your stockpile.
Now, that's not to say that you shouldn't pay attention to those dates - you just have to do a little creative math! If you store foods appropriately, (stockpile in as cool and dry a place as you can manage, with your fridge below 40 degrees etc.) your foods will last WELL beyond those little stamped dates. Here's a handy chart from gourmetsleuths.com to give you an idea of the actual life span of your hard earned bargains!
View: Comprehesive food storage guidelines chart
Also, as we mentioned on the show, the USDA and FDA do NOT mandate expiration dates for any food or food products besides baby formula. Some states have stricter guidelines but there is nothing in the federal statutes, so really it's about consumer responsibility! Just follow the guidelines above, remember to rotate your stockpile, and you'll be maximizing the value of what you're bringing home! Remember, it doesn't matter how cheap that box of cereal was if you have to throw it out before your family eats it!
Questions? Post them below and we'll be more than happy to help you out!

Frugal Friday Feature - Mad Coupons
We have a fantastic one this week gang!
I first heard about Sarah Carbary and her site through their Facebook page. She gave me the opportunity to try out their services, and I have to say, I'm very impressed!
First, her website has a plethora of resources to help out any couponer, either novices or EXTREME! In an easy to find format, Mad Coupons lays out a weekly coupon preview, a Couponing 101 and FAQ and coupon database. She also offers couponing classes if you happen to live in Washington state. She also does giveaways and right now you can win a KINDLE FIRE! Be sure to get in on that!
As opposed to some sites that sell individual coupons, Mad Coupons sells the ENTIRE INSERTS from the Sunday paper. Yes, the same thing that you buy at the grocery store - without all that pesky newspaper to recycle! I have to admit, I frequently purchase a Sunday paper, pull out the inserts and stick the whole paper into the recycling bin unread. I typically read my news online, and am in the habit of doing the same for sales flyers, and frankly, the amount of paper I waste doing that is horrendous! That's where Mad Coupons comes in!
For only $20 you can purchase TEN whole inserts from whatever is included in that week's newspaper. Remember a few weeks back when there were four inserts? Yes, you'd get all four TIMES TEN! Yes, FORTY inserts were sent out that week - shipped anywhere in the US - for just the $20. When you factor in that each weeks paper contains between $100-200 in potential savings through coupons, you can see how quickly that would add up!
They even mark coupons down to "clearance" prices a few weeks after the paper has come out. Let's not forget that weeks when there is only due to be one pack of inserts, like this week! :( , you could be SAVING money purchasing the inserts rather than buying multiple papers. My local paper is $1.75 so it would make MUCH more sense for me to just get the inserts!
(Giveaway secret word #2 - colgate)
They also have the option of five packs, which is what I had shipped to me. It came in a nice and sturdy USPS Priority Mail cardboard envelope.
Inside I was pleasantly surprised to see the inserts nicely wrapped in plastic bags. Very important for those of us in New England! You never know when the weather will be bad here, and having the inserts so beautifully wrapped is crucial. As we've talked about on the show, "coupons are currency", and if you wouldn't leave your wallet out in the snow, you don't want your coupons out there either!
Just look at this thick stack of coupons! My five-year-old came along and saw them and said, wide-eyed, "WOW! That's a LOT of coupons!" What can I say? I'm training him well! ;)
Would you look at all these coupons? Jealous? Don't be! YOU CAN WIN A FIVE PACK OF YOUR OWN! Yes, Mad Coupons has graciously offered to sponsor a GIVEAWAY featuring a FIVE PACK of whole inserts for you to try out! Stay tuned to the radio show, blog and facebook page to find out all the details!

Frugal Friday Feature - Wholecouponinserts.com
(Yes, I'm late. Forgive me!)
Like to have the complete coupon insert from the Sunday paper but don't find yourself reading the paper? Forced to recycle and have a stack of newspapers in your basement? Why not just order the inserts without the paper?!?!
Available in singles or multiples, wholecouponinserts.com is a great alternative to buying the paper. I know that I'm really only interested in the coupons, and never get to read any more of the paper than the funnies, so this seems like a fantastic option to me. You can even read the list of all the included coupons in that insert so you know what to expect before purchasing!
Check it out!
(FYI - This is an honest review and wholecouponinserts.com has not sponsored us in any way. We're just trying to share great resources with our readers and radio show listeners! :) )
