Coupon Class

I think we've got enough interest to hold another Slavetosave coupon class! If you've been following the blog and want to get started couponing, or you just have questions -- this is the place to be. Bring your friends and come out of hiding! I promise we won't bite.

We'll discuss coupon basics, organization, and the nitty gritty on drugstore dealing and grocery store dealing. Plus you'll have plenty of time at the end to pick my brain and ask as many questions as you'd like!

I've added a poll to the right-hand sidebar.

For those that would be interested in coming to a class, what timeframe works best for you?

(Saved $6.95 -- 27%)

This was my first time venturing to Winco, and I have to say I sort of liked it! It's vaguely ware-house looking inside, but let's be honest -- I'll shop anywhere (including Walmart!) if it'll get me a better deal. They don't take credit cards but they do take debit cards and checks.

Some of their prices weren't any lower than other regular stores (like the butter, the cookies, the eggs, etc.), but their fruit snack prices were good (especially with coupon!) and their pork sirloin prices were amazing! Sam's and Costco usually have pork sirloin roasts for ~$2.50/lb. Winco had them for $1.38/lb!!! I went there specifically for this, to buy a few to stock the freezer with. If I had more room in my budget this month I'd go back and buy a few more! We're sooooo having homemade Cafe Rio for dinner this week!

Has anyone else been to Winco? Anything you liked or didn't like?

Kmart Deals (3/14 - 3/20)

The word on the street is that Kmart will be running a doubles party beginning April 4th, and Utah stores ARE invited this time! (See a full list of participating stores HERE.) It appears they may be limiting the doubles to 5 coupons per customer per day, which should help keep the shelves stocked for more than just the early birds. I'll keep you informed of the good deals as we get closer!

Slavetosave Giveaway: SwaddleDesigns zzZipMe Sack! {closed}

Slavetosave Giveaway: SwaddleDesigns zzZipMe Sack!

{The Ultimate Receiving Blanket}

SwaddleDesigns has become a beloved brand for style seeking moms and celebrities alike. Winning multiple awards for their trend setting designs, SwaddleDesigns creates products where fashion is combined with function to help new parents care for their baby.

{Baby Burpie Set}

SwaddleDesigns is best known for their signature Ultimate Receiving Blanket, which is much larger than a typical receiving blanket and is square in shape. Best of all, it has their exclusive 123 swaddle directions sewn to the edge!

{Stroller blanket}

Swaddle Designs also carries other great products, like Burpies, bibs, hooded towels, zzZipMe Sacks, Baby Lovies, gift sets, and more!

{14 x 14 Baby Lovie}

Slavetosave's Review
Lately my baby is so active and wiggly that she kicks off all her blankets during naps, and sometimes after she wakes up her nightgown is clear up at her waist! I worry about her poor little bare legs being too cold. Putting her in a zzZipMe Sack solves all my problems by keeping her legs covered and warm without the risk of suffocation from blankets. I was fortunate enough to review the Pink Circle Puff zzZipMe sack. This is by far the softest sleepsack I have ever used! It's very plush and cozy, and it comes with a temperature rating on the tag that helps make sure your little one doesn't overheat. Plus, it has an exclusive, patent-pending two-way zipper that makes diaper changes super easy and getting it on and off a breeze.
