I have often heard that the best way to save money is not to spend it. This simple idea contradicts the spend, spend, spend media images that are all over today’s world. Here are a couple of great articles that list some smart things that you should not be spending money on because you can get them for free.

1/3/2011 Shopping Trips
Posted by shopaholicsavers on January 4, 2011

Today was a day full of couponing. There were a lot of good deals at local stores on stuff that I needed for my household and things that we will use. This is how I generally do my grocery and household shopping which is why you will see items that I bought that weren’t free (like the watch battery at CVS).
CVS Shopping Trip
The deals I did at CVS were-
– $10 ECB (Extra Care Bucks aka CVS dollars) WYB $20 any Excedrin Products Limit 1
– $7 ECB WYB any (2) Revlon Cosmetics or Beauty Tools Limit 1
– $2 ECB WYB GE Energy Smart 40, 60, 75 or 100 watt equivalent, 1 pk., $3.99 Limit 1
– $5 ECB WYB $10 listed Listerine, Rembrandt or Reach items: Limit 2
-To make these even better deals I used a variety of coupons including 2 free Excedrin coupons and 1 free Always 18 pack coupon (To see these deals with coupon match ups visit www.southernsavers.com)
– Coffee on sale for $2.50 and I used a $1 off coupon
– A Duracell Watch Battery which I needed (buying this battery was a lot cheaper than having to buy a new watch)
– 2 Bags of Chocolate Covered Pretzels $1.49 each (Christmas clearance)
– I also used a $5 off a $25 dollar purchase CVS coupon
Total- $28.40
Used- $3.01 on a gift card
Total- $25.39
Received- $24.00 Extra Care Bucks (CVS dollars)
Saved- $56.61
That’s like spending $1.39 for all of these items because I will roll my CVS dollars and use them on things I need or the deals I do next week. Just a side note- If I hadn’t bought the watch battery I would have gotten back the same number of extra care bucks that I spent. I could have made this deal better by spending less out of pocket if I had made multiple transactions and used the extra care bucks I got to pay for my next purchase but I didn’t have the time to do this.
Walgreens Shopping Trip
I went back to Walgreens today and did the same deal I did last night two more times.
I spent- $3.24
Saved- $25.74
Received- $18.00 Register Rewards (Walgreens Dollars) and two coupons for Free Breathe Right Nasal Strips
That’s a profit of $14.76 to spend on other things

Walgreens Gift Cards
It always amazes me how many good deals you can find when you keep your eyes open. I walked out of Walgreens today and met a girl selling newspapers for the Orlando Sentinel. I know that the price for the Sunday paper subscription was a good one because I have looked into subscribing to the paper. I buy several copies of the paper every Sunday for the coupons and I think it would be nice not to have to leave the house to get them. Subscribing is also cheaper than buying papers from the store. I received two $5 Walgreens gift cards when I subscribed twice at the discounted rate.

1/3/11 A Very Strange Shopping Trip
Posted by shopaholicsavers on January 3, 2011

Tonight was a very strange shopping trip. I got out of work around 10 pm and long story short I still hadn’t bought my usual Sunday papers (I wish I could only buy the coupons!). So I went home looked up Walgreens and CVS deals for the stores around the corner hoping that one of them would have Sunday papers.
When I left my apartment I drove past the trash compactor where the residents take their trash. I live in a very nice community but it is also a high traffic community where people move in and out of a lot and often they can’t take all of their possessions. People often leave things next to the compactor such as furniture that won’t fit inside it and I have noticed that people will come and take things as well as dropping them off. I think that this sort of swapping is very beneficial to the environment because it prevents a lot of larger items from ending up at the dump when others can use them. As I drove by tonight I noticed some items and I got a clear plastic three drawer set which I know sells for $18 new because I have two in my closet. I’m not sure what I will do with it but I’m sure that someone in my family can use it or yard sale it.
From there I went to the 24 hr CVS which it turns out is no longer a 24 hr CVS and it was closed! So I went across the street to Walgreens (Walgreens and CVS always seem to be across the street from each other). Unfortunately the Walgreens didn’t have any Sunday papers but I decided to do a deal I had on Children’s Flu Medicine. It was $8.99 Register Rewards (Walgreens Store Dollars) WYB Children’s Oscillococcinum Homeopathic Flu Medicine at $8.99. Other coupon websites were recommending using the $5 off coupon in the Walgreens January coupon book and a $2 off printable coupon in order to pay $2 and get $9 Register Rewards back. However, when it I went to purchase the flu medicine it only rang up at $3.62. I used the $2 off coupon and paid $1.62 and I got back $9 Register Rewards and the coupon printer also printed out a coupon for Free Breathe Right Nasal Strips. I did this deal twice.
I then used one of the $9 off coupons to buy some things I needed
– 2 twelve packs of Real Soft toilet paper- on sale for $3.99 each (usually $5)
– garlic salt .99 cents
– and a piece of candy .29 cents (I only bought this to get my total to $9 so I could use the coupon)
I paid .80 cents
I then went to the gas station next door where I was able to buy my Sunday papers 🙂
12/31/2010 Publix Shopping Trip

Today was a slightly unusual shopping trip to Publix because, while I did need groceries, I was mostly going tonight because I had a stack of $1 off Bakery, Deli, Meat or Produce Publix coupons that were expiring today. I found a stack of these coupons in the flyer/Ads/coupon holder in the entrance of Publix. I used 21 $1 off coupons today and I got a lot of stuff. I love dollar amount off department coupons because it gives you the freedom to pick your own items and I usually choose the cheapest items I can get while still qualifying to use the coupons (these coupons required that the items were at least $1 to start with). As you can see, I got quite a haul today. It is usually not easy to get coupons for fresh produce, deli items, bakery items, or meats so I wanted to make sure I got as much as I could (and could use) today. I gave away the rest of the coupons I couldn’t use. I will freeze some of these groceries but most of them we will eat in the next couple of weeks or give away to someone who can use them.
My total after coupons + tax – $11.15
I used $7.22 I had on a visa gift card
Final Total- $3.93 (Not bad at all considering the gallon of milk alone cost me $3.29)
Saved- $23.40 before gift card and $30.62 after the gift card
