Living better, spending less.
If you have a Discover card, don’t forget to sign up for the 5% Cashback Bonus on Grocery Stores, Restaurants, Movie Theaters and Movie Rentals! It’s good from October through December. This is my favorite bonus category (though I personally think that rotating bonus categories that require explicit sign-ups are kinda silly.)
And if you have them–don’t forget to use the $2 off per transaction coupons for use when you pay with your Discover card! Some areas got $1 off per transaction. I think you can still find a few of them at coupon clipping sites or ebay, but they’re fairly expensive. They expire at the end of next month, and between now and then I am really going to have to start remembering to use them. :)
When I became a stay-at-home-mom, I promised I could save our family money by shopping sales and maybe even using a few coupons. I had no idea what I was getting into. These days, I am on a first-name basis with the cashiers at the local drugstores, I haven't paid for toothpaste or shampoo in over a year and I spend my free time here, helping others do the same. So please, make yourself at home while you learn how to save, and when to spend!
