Freaky Frugalite

School is just about to start! The kids and I (mainly the kids, heh) have been cleaning the house and sorting through endless boxes of clothing, in preparation for winter. This time of year is also our traditional “shopping” time of year when I get them all geared up for their lessons. We use a combination of textbooks and computers for our homeschool. Paying for all the supplies ourselves can be SO expensive, so I’ve devised little ways to save money.

For one, with gas prices the way they are right now, I have been doing a lot of online shopping these days. It is so convenient, I don’t have to run out to the malls, and it helps to keep my husband’s job (he’s a delivery man). :D I have also learned to ALWAYS check for coupons and promo codes online. Never, never, never pay full price for anything without checking for online coupons! I have a special folder of bookmarks to check for deals; my favorite site is FindSavings.com. I find coupons for everything under the sun- AbeBooks and Scholastic for our textbooks (Scholastic currently has 20% off $49 purchase right now), Office Depot for our printer ink and office supplies (they do free delivery and are having a special $30 off your $150 purchase), Sears for clothing and household linens, and Tiger Direct for all the electronic doodads and batteries we need. Tiger Direct is one of my favorite electronics store because they are so inexpensive- with a coupon, the prices are almost criminal, they are so low.

So remember what the Freaky Frugalite says: NEVER buy anything online without checking for coupons and promo codes first! Why pay full price when you can save money??
