Call Dish, when I called I told them I couldn't afford my service anymore. They offered me a "Welcome" package for just 14.95 per month with no expiration date. I have been a customer for years and was not under contract. Give them a call, they might still have it.

We use Netflix and like it, a lot! We JUST got basic cable. We can FINALLY watch normal tv and I don't feel like I'm totally in the dark when people talk about funny commercials and ect. This is all we buy and we feel it is totally sufficient.

cool! i will have to use this tool! :)

Yes, it is awesome to save money! This allows us to spend in other areas we would rather spend, or simply to cut down debt!

2011-06-17T03:26:10.789-07:00

5 boxes of twinkies..LOL...haven't found five coupons of any one thing.

Now, to seriously answer your question...I do not know what you buy exactly BUT I can tell you the coupons I used so far are for: coffee, paper towels, yogurt,and shampoo. There are lots of coupons for household cleaning and hygiene as well. Everyone (I think so) uses these items. I would tell you to NOT buy a subsciption if you are concerned about it having your shopping list but purchase ONE Sunday Paper at your local grocery store or stand...(Make sure coupons are in it to be sure they aren't missing).

We save on fresh produce three ways: we grown some of our own veggies, we shop ALDI's (tough to beat them on produce), and our local stand (after comparison shopping the different little side stands).

So many ways to save...not just coupons...but it is something I wanted to try.

I feel the Sunday Paper is worth it to have the Sales Flyers in my hand to know Where to shop! I found I shopped better deals (even without a coupon) thanks to the sunday flyers!

Thank you for your question..report back what you find out!

2011-06-16T22:36:36.746-07:00

Are the coupons for healthy items or for like 5 boxes of twinkies? I know sounds funny, but a lot of coupons are for things that are not the healthiest or things I don't even eat. I guess, I am trying to figure out if I should get the sunday paper too.

Hi Shannon! Thank you so much for your comments! :-)

I will definitely be frequenting your blog/site! I am very new to couponing but would be a total hypocrite calling myself "Thrifty" without truly giving it a good shot.

I am very excited about couponing and look forward to learning everything there is to know! Thank you so much for your help and compliment! I believe couponing has gotten me excited about updating my blog again more and keeping me on my "thrifty" toes. :-)

Wow thanks so much for the awesome post! I really appreciate it! Let me know if you have any questions about couponing. Start out small because it can be a little over whelming at first, but once you get the hang of it you will be addicted! :) Do you have facebook and twitter? I will do a shout out and try to get some people over to your page to follow!
