There's An App For That

Have a smart phone?...Then I have some cool apps for you! I love my iphone and I use it to read blogs, plan my grocery trips, write down recipes, keep up with coupons to print, and much more. Here are some of my most favorite apps!

*Shopkick-log in whenever you walk into their list of stores, scan certain items, and earn "kicks" that you can redeem for gift cards. I use my kicks to earn Target gift cards.

*Grocery IQ-this is from Coupons.com. I use it to plan my grocery store lists. I find it to be an invaluable tool, especially because I visit numerous stores. It is very easy to use and you can even create a favorites list for each store. You can also see all of the coupons listed on coupons.com as well.

*CardStar-I don't like carrying a big wallet full of membership cards so with this app, I just scan my cards (you can scan the card's barcode with your phone's camera or just put the number in). I have my CVS, Kroger, Panera, Gymboree, and Brookshire's cards in it. The cashier just scans to code directly from my phone, and voila! Let the savings begin!

*Groupon, Living Social, Target, Walmart, Amazon Apps-These are pretty self-explanatory but not only are they free, but all highly important for any coupon-lover. I check Groupon and Living Social every day to see what deals they have. I also like the daily deals section of Target, Amazon, and Walmart. These items ship for free and are at a rock bottom price for the day.

*Gas Buddy-Users put in what gas is cheap in the area. Make sure your location settings are on.

*Foursquare-check in to places using this app for exclusive coupons and special offers at the store you are at. I personally do not use this app, but I know others who do.

Do you have a favorite money saving app?

About Me

My name is Ashley and I have been couponing for about 10 years. I like to say I have been couponing before it was "cool" to do so ;-). I consider it my hobby and I enjoy getting a great deal and cutting down my grocery budget. Yes, I said it is fun for me, and I think it will be fun for you too!

I am also a wife and a mom to 3 girls, and a teacher. We live in San Antonio, TX. I was a stay-at-home mom for 11 years so living on a budget was a MUST for our family. I now teach First Grade but I still practice my frugal ways as much as possible.

Feel free to look around at my site. I have included my store deals to show you how much I save using coupons. I also will be sharing some of my tips and tricks to help you learn to save big. Thank you for visiting!

Happy Savings and God Bless! Ashley

Why Should You Attend My Workshop?

I remember when I started to seriously coupon and how much time I spent reading websites and being completely confused at how to do it. I didn't know anyone who couponed and I was left alone to wade through the couponing universe. I had soooo many questions and it was hard to find the answers.

I know it can be overwhelming at times trying to figure out the coupon lingo, where to get the coupons, find the sales, and learn store policies, etc. There are a lot of websites out there that can provide the same information that will be at my workshop, but in my experience, it is time-consuming and mind boggling to sort through it all.

Plus, I will be here to answer your questions at any time as you learn how to do it-you are not going to get that personal touch from a website. You can even join me at the store and I will help you if need be. My goal is to teach, help, and encourage you every step of the way. You CAN save a lot of money by couponing and I will show you how!
