I’ve began my journey of couponing and shopping deals.  I can say that for this itsy bitsy town that I live in with very few number of stores in the area, I believe I’ve done pretty well on beginning my household stockpile.  I have been following a number of blogs and forums for a few months to find great deals to go along with those coupons.  I’ve found a number of items that I’ve been able to purchase for very cheap or even free thanks to them.

I have put together a page, that I will add to as time goes by, titled Frugal Living.  The resources listed include where to print coupons, forums & blogs that I view at least on a weekly basis for deals, coupon policies to stores in my local 30 minute drive area and other links for tips & resources.

I came across a blog today called Couponing to Disney.  The idea behind it sounds great – savings toward vacations that you wouldn’t be able to take if it wasn’t for the couponing & deals.  Here are a few deals from the blog:

These 4th of July printables by Tweedled Designs is a collection of 8 files including party invitations, punchables (useful for stickers, cupcake toppers, favor tags, etc), party banner, straw flags, labels, mini notecards, treat bag toppers and plastic water bottle labels.

Posh Pixel Design Studio was generous enough to revamp their Memorial Day printable set just for the Fourth of July. The circle stickers and the mini party flags would be a great addition to the set above.

Skip to My Lou has the Patriotic Pinwheels printable and an Uncle Sam Hat Party Favor tutorial.

Family Fun has this cute Star Spangled Welcome Banner tutorial as well as many other great 4th of July crafts, recipes & game ideas.

ENJOY THE PRINTABLES! HAVE A FUN + SAFE FOURTH OF JULY!

With 90 degree weather and a bazillion percent humidity, a cool summer treat is definitely needed! And homemade frozen popsicles are always a hit. Especially when they look like these ;c) OurBestBites.com has a selection cool treats for the kids and those young at heart!

Ice Cream with one ingredient? Yep! Bananas. My kids are already addicted to them so this should be interesting once I pull them from my freezer to blend up & spoon out as “ice cream”. So simple, easy on the wallet and healthy! Head on over to The Kitchn for full instructions.

This one is too cool to pass up (even though it won’t cure the humidity) and it can be loved throughout the year. Today I came across Make It and Love It blog. I’m really interested in the Make-A-Cake series. It has everything from cake baking tips, prepping the cake for decorating, fondant & gum paste and all those little nifty tips for creating a beauty for holidays (including step by step tutorial on how to make the cake pictured above)! I shall be experimenting on my own now and following the rest of the series to see how my own cake-making skills go.
