Free Admission to National Parks in 2011!!

America’s Best Idea – the national parks – gets even better with several fee-free days at more than 100 national parks that usually charge entrance fees.

Mark your calendar for these fee-free days in 2011:

• January 15-17 (Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday weekend)
• April 16-24 (National Park Week)
• June 21 (First day of summer)
• September 24 (Public Lands Day)
• November 11-13 (Veterans Day weekend)

Making the fun even more affordable, many national park concessioners are joining the National Park Service in welcoming visitors with their own special offers.

Here’s a tip – many of your 394 national parks NEVER charge an entrance fee. So start Planning Your Visit!

*Fee waiver includes: entrance fees, commercial tour fees, and transportation entrance fees. Other fees such as reservation, camping, tours, concession and fees collected by third parties are not included unless stated otherwise.

Hope this helps.

“Is it really worth it to buy things with coupons?”

I get that question quite often from friends, family members, and even complete strangers in the stores.

My answer usually astonishes them because I tell them "yes and no." I think they were looking for me to say unequivocally... YES!

If you read through my hints and tips article you will see that I mentioned “comparing prices”. Some times using a coupon does not make the item cheaper than the store brand or generic brand. So you should be observant of that.

BUT…

There is a method to using coupons effectively.

Here are a few more tips.

1. Know your store’s coupon policy.

Does your store double coupons? If so, to what amount and are there any limits on how many of the same coupon/or like item you can purchase in one order?

Example: Let’s say the Canned Dole Pineapple is $1.50 and your store will double that .50 off coupon. You just reduced your cost to .50 for that item and it does indeed end up costing less than the generic brand for which you don’t have a coupon for.

Ask the stores if they double coupons if you don’t know if they do or not. Some don't but many stores do. Remember though, just because a store doubles coupons doesn't mean you're going to get the best deal with your coupon there. We'll get to that in a minute.

2. Watch your sales and DON’T stick to just one store for all your needs.

Being “store loyal” can be a detriment to your wallet.

Watch the store sale ads and put your coupons to double work by using that coupon on the sale item to make it even lower in price. Once you get to shopping around, you’ll notice that what may be $2.49 at Walmart may actually be $1.99 at your regular grocery store and if you have a double coupon store, your cost can be even lower. And that's what I allured to in #1... Know your prices. Keep a price book if necessary on the items you buy frequently. BUT don’t rush out to use those coupons immediately.

SEE #3 below.

3. Hold ‘Em.

Just because you have it doesn’t mean you have to use it immediately.

Hold on to those coupons because the stores know in advance what coupons are coming out in the Sunday inserts and they put those items on sale. That sale price is not the lowest sale price that will be on that item before those coupons expire. Usually the week that the coupon expires is when that item will go on sale for it’s lowest price. (Or at least that has been my experience over the years.)

4. Buying in multiples.

When you find a good deal and you have coupons for the items, buy more than one (up to the store’s limit if there is one). This is commonly called stockpiling.

You can get extras of coupons by asking friends and family to save the coupon inserts for you, order them online for a small shipping and handling charge from places like The Coupon Clippers, Coupons & Things By Dede, and The Coupon Master. Of course, if you're a daring individual - scope out the paper recycling bins for extra inserts.... just be sure to ask someone before you do as many areas are not allowing this to be done now.

By buying multiples of items, I am:

1. Less likely to run out before the next sale which means I don’t have to pay full price.
2. Have a readily available stock so I’m not having to make special trips to the stores for an item.
3. I have things on hand to make quick baskets as gifts for someone or be able to donate to someone who may either be sick, out of work, or house burned, etc.

5. Get acquainted.

Get to know your store’s policy, upcoming sale ads, Good Deal Alerts (GDA), and much more by frequently reading online forums that cater to people who wish to save money with coupons, sales, etc.

6. Make a List.

Now that you have the coupons in hand and the sale flyers, go through each one and make a list of the “best deals” you can use then match them accordingly to coupons while keeping in mind #3 above.

7. Don’t be brand loyal.

We all probably have our favorites when it comes to an item. My husband prefers Heinz ketchup but we rarely get coupons for that but he will compromise with me if I have a coupon for another brand of ketchup that makes it cost less than his favorite brand. By being “brand flexible” I have more leeway to save with the coupons than if I was to stick to one brand.

So “Is it really worth it to buy things with coupons?”

Yes and no.

Yes you can save a lot of money by using coupons BUT at the same time, if you're buying something just because you have a coupon or don't need the item.. then no that's not really saving you money. If you are diligent and observant, you can get your main toiletry items free after coupons. Items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, shampoo, razors, etc. can usually be gotten for free or for pennies. Stock up when you find those time deals ... even if it's enough to get you through until the next sale cycle on those things comes back around. I don't know about you but I think the health & beauty items alone really rack up a grocery bill in a hurry if you're not using coupons for them.

Quick update and some Couponing Tips!

Since Memorial Weekend will be upon us just wanted to let everyone know they do not put the coupons in the Sunday Newspaper on holidays and holiday weekends. Weird I know, so if you only by the paper for the coupons do not bother this weekend because there will not be any!

Hopefully you save your unused coupons from the last few sunday papers to hold you over. Plus when you save the unused coupons there are always new and better deals each week the the coupons you couldn't use last week because nothing was on sale, well they might be usable this week. So make you keep your coupons until the expiration date because you never know when they might come in handy.

Couponing Tips.

- If you are going to use a bunch of the same coupons on one specific product, be courteous and leave product for other people. It is just polite.

- Make sure you read all the fine print on your coupons. Because sometimes the picture on the coupon and what the coupon is valid for are two different things. It makes checking out faster.

- Make a list of what you are buying before you go to the store. With the items on your list write next to it that you have a coupon and how much the coupon is for. And stick to your list!

- Check your stores coupon policy. Some policies will prevent a certain amount, or even multiple transactions. Be informed first. You can check some of these policies on store websites.

- You can find coupons other then in the Sunday paper. Target.com has printable coupons, and www.coupon.com has printable manufacturer coupons. Every month Walgreens has a coupon booklet at the entrance of the store along with its weekly ad which also has coupons in it available at the store!!! Vons.com has Ecoupons which you can load to your store savings card and will come off automatically when you are checking out!!!

- Talk to your family and friends about coupons. I am sure many of them get the Sunday paper and never use the coupons or you can trade coupons. Let people know you use coupons and people are always apt to saving them for you. Plus, it is always a great conversational topic!

- Share your knowledge of coupons and savings of all kinds with people who are struggling or just anyone looking to save money . You would be surprised at how many people do not realize how helpful these little coupons can be. Coupons have helped my family tremendously and I want to share it with whoever wants to listen and learn.

Send me a story of your recent couponing experience or you recent store savings. What store did you go to? How much did you save? How has using coupons been for you, easy- difficult-confusing-fun? Let me know!

* A trick to start your stock pile is to get multiples of the same coupon and buy in quantity while these prices are at rock bottom.
You can purchase coupons for a *clipping fee* online which is a lot easier and a money saver.
You can buy tons of specfic coupons from past and recent newspapers.

My favorite clipping sites are

Becca's Best Deals!

Welcome to Becca's Best Deals.

This blog is dedicated to finding the best deals at Drug Stores, Grocery Stores, Restaurants, Online, and anywhere else I can find a great deal. I was inspired by TLC's hit show Extreme Couponing and the amazing saving these people were getting. I was amazed at the deal you can get with coupons and then I was really pissed at myself for not thinking of using coupons in the first place. The last 12 months have been so hard for my family and I since my husband and I had been unemployed for almost a year and my mother on disability. Money has always been sooooo tight for us. So seeing the trailers and watching the first episode of Extreme Couponing I was totally motivated and excited to try and see if this was something I could or if it would even work for me like it did for the people on the T.V. show. Right away I went on the computer to search the internet for more information. Turns out not only did I find out about coupons, but I also found tons of free stuff online. So my goal is to try and help everyone that wants to know how to save a LOT of money and for it to be a little easier.
So check the site often because I will post up the best deals from the Sunday newspaper every week and also other deals I find. I am telling you once you try it you won't want to stop. So follow me on this journey of savings and deals.
