Tip of the day!!!

If you can walk some were ,,,
Why drive!!!
Saving fuel and exercising at the same time!!!
If you do need to drive some were do the smart thing !!!
What I do !!!
When I have to run errands I go super market shopping the same day!!!
I park my car in front of the market, ( that is were the heavy stuff is for me)
I grab my bag and run my errands!!! Mostly banks and mail office !!! Then I walk to my car put one bag in grab my shopping bag with my coupons and go market shopping !!
So I only drove to the market not making circles around and around !!!
I also get some exercising in !!! I used my iPod a few times and found out I walked 4 kilometers!
That is money , time and fuel saved!!
I saved time because I don't need to park myself, I just enter were ever I want to go!!!

Tip of the day

Today the tip is kind of funny!!!
Do you know roli!
Yes the powder!!!
It costs 1.07 euros a bottle!!!
With the coupon 0.50 that epithemies had you get it for 0.57 !
Get 5-6 coupons and buy it!
Use it everywhere !!!
From toilettes to sinks!!!
To scrubbing the tiles on the porch , in the bathtub!
Also use it to wash the shower!!!
The good news you save tons of money ... The bad news, you have to scrub!!! Paying less means 5 minutes more work! But why would I pay a product that costs 5.00 euros to get things done in a minute... When I can pay 0.57 and get things done 5 minutes later ! Now that is money saved and earned !!!
And that is an other thing I learned in January !!!
Like I said 2012 will be a year of saving and learning new things for me !

My shopping day!!!

Yes I went shopping yesterday at galaxia!
I got nounou kid milk for only 5.72
Yup the box with. 8 cans !
Regular price 8.40
-1.68 the 20% off the stores have plus
-1.00 from my coupons .
Now that is extreme couponing in Greece ! Bought 3 boxes of milk ...
I also bought hair dye!
3 of that too....
The dye costs regular price 8.14
- 2.00 the store special
- 3.00 my coupons
Paid 3.14 euros a dye
That is 15 euros saved from the dyes ...
I also bought Essex detergent for clothes...
Regular price 8.99
- 2.25 special offer from store
- 2.00 from my coupons
Bought 3 of those too...
And a whole lot more !!!
But you need coupons!!!
Call epithemies and ask to be on there mailing list!!!
Go on livesmart and print .
Get a folder and carry your coupons with you!!!
You never know what you will find in the store!!!
Last month I found Pantene pro v 2.50 the large bottle!!!!
Looked in my folder and saw that I had a - 1.50 coupon
Not one coupon but 10
Got ten bottles of that shampoo....
I think it costs around 4 something
And I got it for one euro....
Why pay 40 when you can pay 10
So at this point my stoke pile is growing! I will invest in my pile again next month...
Buying things you don't need now, for a fraction of there price is smart...
Don't over do it!!!
Try 10-20 euros a month on things you really need... We are a big family... 2 teenagers and a six year old . We are a 5 member family!!!
So milk shampoo soap and dyes are a must in this family!!!
That is all for now!!
I hope this post helps a few!!!
Because the future seams hard for us Greeks ! We need to learn to shop the smart way!!!

Stock piling in Greece .

Stock piling in Greece , the frugal way is very hard work.
With money being tight these days !
But if you get the whole family to help with coupons , things might get a little easier.
Try this site:
Www. Livesmart. Gr
Pretty nice coupons!
But you can only print singles!
But a family of 5 needs more , so here is what you do!
My sons are over 18 both! Get then to sign up. And then go shopping with them so they can show there id card at the cash register with there name. These coupons have your name on them!!!
Do some online search of the grocery stores you will going to shop.
Compare prices before using coupons !
The first few times it's a little difficult , but it gets easier with time.
But saving is the name of the game!
Maybe we can beat the rececion !
Maybe not !
But we will try our best , to survive with what we can . A little less here a little less there . But we will go down with a fight!
