TIPS

My main purpose in keeping this blog is to make it easier for you to save money.  I know that shopping this way can be overwhelming at times.   My goal is to post 4-6 tips each week that will make things a bit less overwhelming.   I post tips from six different categories--no more than one tip a week for each category.  This means you will have an entire week to implement the tip before getting another tip from the same category.  You can read archives of old tips by clicking on the links below.  If you would like to be notified anytime we post a new tip, you can Subscribe to this feed


Hot Deals:   
As time permits, I will check to see if there are any extremely hot or time sensitive deals. If there are, I will post them by 11:00 am. However, I DO NOT POST ALL THE DEALS I KNOW ABOUT!  At most I will post 1-3 Hot Deals. There may be days that I don't post any (it will depend on the time I have available and how many hot deals there are).

However, I realize that being able to find good deals is important...you can't apply the tips any other way!  So, I have created an awesome tool to help you do just that:

Check the "Recent Deals" tool in the sidebar any time during the day to see the deals that are currently available.  

You can actually view 135 deals with this tool.  The most recent 15 posts from nine of my favorite deal bloggers are posted here.  If you see a deal that interests you, click on it and the instructions for how to get that deal will come up in a new window.  This should make it simple to quickly find the deals that are of most interest to you.  I suggest you check this tool at least daily as many of these bloggers post 15 or more deals a day.


Roundups
At various times of the week, I will post some "roundups."  I will collect the best of the best deals each week from the following categories and let you know about them all in just one post.  This way, you won't have to scroll through a bunch of other posts to find what you want.
  • Printable Grocery Coupons
  • Retail / Restaurant Coupons
  • Freebies
Grocery & Drug Store Deals
Once a week, I will post the TOP deals for each of the following stores.  I will not post every advertised deals.  I only post deals I believe are worth stocking up on: Things that are on sale for a rock bottom price or have a coupon available that makes them a rock bottom price.
  • Stater Bros - Typically posted by midnight PST Tuesday nights
  • Henrys - Typically posted by midnight PST Tuesday nights
  • Vons- Typically posted by midnight PST Wednesday nights

Guest Posts:  There are so many ways to be "Frugalicious;"  I learn new things all the time. So many people know how to do things well without spending a lot of money.  There is a wealth of knowledge out there!  Each Tuesday, we will highlight someone fabulous.  Sometimes, we will highlight the same person for a few weeks.  But each week, you will learn how to be Frugalicious in some area of your life from someone other than me!
**If you do something well without spending a lot of money, I would love to have you tell us all about it!   If you are interested in guest posting on Frugalicious, please contact me.** 

Frugalicious Download Highlight:  There are many downloads, reference sheets, and widgets on the Frugalicious site that sometimes go unnoticed.  Each of these is designed to help save you time and money.  Occasionally, I will highlight a different one.

Q&A Friday:  Everyone has questions.  But not everyone asks questions.  For every person that emails me question, I'm sure there are many more who have the same question, but just haven't asked it yet.  So, each week, I will put together a Q&A post of all the different questions I received during the week.  If I didn't get any questions, there will be no post.  
**Don't worry, if you ask me a question,  I will typically respond to you personally within 24 hrs.  I won't wait until Friday.  I will, however, repost your question (and my answer) on Friday.**

My Weekly Shopping:  Each Saturday, I will try to post a picture of my weekly grocery shopping trip with a detailed list of what I bought, paid, and saved.  I believe this can be helpful and motivating for those of you who are just getting started.  If I have a great purchase somewhere other than the grocery store (like this toy deal), I will post that as well.  If you have a great success one week and would like to share your trip, email me!  I'd love to post it!

Series: Every Thursday I will post a piece of series.  Our current series is: 5 Ways to Earn Money Doing Things You Already Do.
