Harris Teetet Triple coupons days

Today and tomorrow the Harris Teeter 3 day triple coupon sale is on-going. Remember though to really save by buying items that are on sale already. Many items are still cheaper when bought at Target or Walmart, even if the coupon is only discounted once. So, don't go overboard with the triple coupons as they're not always a saving.

Happy saving!

Saving on Food

Suddenly it is fashionable to save! Soaring gas prices mean food prices increasing. As a result, websites with saving tips on meals have seen a marked increase in traffic.

www.thriftyfun.com, www.hillbillyhousewife.com (don't be put off by the name!), http://www.betterbudgeting.com/frugalrecipelist.htm, http://www.cookcheap.com/ and www.hopefulhousewife.com are all sites where you can find recipes and/or good tips for saving on foods.

www.allrecipes.com, has a Quick and Easy link which has low-budget meals amongst others.

Remember though, that eating cheap should still be healthy! http://www.eatbetteramerica.com/ is a site I enjoy.

Happy saving!
