Is it worth it?

In order to get the maximum savings while coupon shopping, as well as build a food storage we recommend you have a newspaper per person in your home. Yes, even one for babies! When we tell people that the reaction is often- " Is it worth it?" "Do the newspapers coupons savings really outweigh the cost of a subscription?" The answer is YES!

This week Tori and I both had awesome trips to the store! "Vegas weeks", as we like to call them. I got home and added up my savings and found that this week with coupons alone I saved $179.07!

That is just using coupons from that I have received in my newspapers!

With the awesome deals that Grocery Smarts is able to offer you on newspapers, the papers can be paid for with savings in less than ONE trip to the store!

Need a newspaper? Email us at SHESHOPSSMART@GMAIL.com and we would be happy to tell you what the best newspaper deal is for your area!

Blog 101

Over the last few week, our readers have brought it to our attention that others in the blogosphere were using some of our posts "word for word" and even using identical blog features and layouts in their own blogs without giving She Shops Smart credit. We actually had no idea, until you let us know about it. Since it has been brought to our attention we have found countless websites that are using this information, which is wonderful. We are so glad that this blog is helping teach people that saving money on groceries is do able, simple and convenient. We were thrilled. The only thing we ask is that if you use our information and ideas that you cite us as your source. We have no problems with people sharing this info, but please let people know where it came from. She Shops Smart blog is copy right protected. We also realize that these "deals" don't belong to us at all, but our words that go with the deals absolutely do! We make our own commentary in our posts, so be sure to delete our words when you copy about a great deal you find here that you want to share with others.

We spend countless hours trying to find good deals, coupons and information we think would help our readers use Grocery Smarts effectively. We always try to post the most accurate information and most of what we do post, are things we have personally made sure are legit. We appreciate all your comments and thanks that you give us for keeping this blog up and running.

Taste Buds

Emily and I are trying a new post called "Taste Buds"!

Emily and I normally do most of our grocery shopping together! It is so nice to have each other to talk each other into and out of buying things. Our last trip together I kept debating on buying soup for $1.00. Emily asked me if I already had some on hand and I said yes about 6 cans. Then she asked me what was the best price I had gotten it for. I told her FREE. She looked at me and laughed. Needless to say I left it behind. The other reason I think it is fun to have a friend is because lots of times we ask each other, "Have you tired it?", or "Is it good?".

So, we thought we would share are unprofessional opinions on some of the products that go on sale and we think are worth buying or not.

A couple weeks ago we bought the new Nabisco Crackerfuls at Albertsons for .50 a box using the coupon in SS 7/12. They have 2 different flavors, 4 cheese and classic cheddar

We took them home and had our families try them. My 2 year old showed no interest, but he doesn't like cheese. My one year old gobbled them down. My husband prefers peanut butter and crackers, so he wasn't overly impressed. I myself thought they tasted good, but didn't think they tasted any different from other cheese and cracker snacks. I do think they will make great snacks for on the go and they were only .50! I would buy them again, but only if they were .50. I wouldn't pay more than that, because they weren't anything out of the ordinary.

I LOVE REGISTER REWARDS! Before using Grocery Smarts I had never done much shopping at Walgreens. Now-- I have a little stack of Registry Rewards saved up. So, there are now times that I do not even have to pay when I go buy something. It is so much fun!

I will get working on the rest of the weekly deals.

Tori and I love all the emails and comments that we receive from the She Shops Smart readers! It is so fun to hear from you. Every day we both try and answer as many questions as we can. Sometimes there is just too many for us to get to.

In the case that you have a question that we have not answered there is usually a very easy way to find it. You can check and see if there has been a post on it in the past. To find the past posts, scroll down on the main page of the blog and there will be a list on the left side. For some categories there will have been more than one past post on the subject. If that is the case just click on the subject and it will take you to a list of all posts on that particular subject/title. If you still cant find the answer let us know!

I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend! I am off to play with my family!
