A Blog Helping Families Get Out of Debt, save money, and help with a TON of other family matters!

Here are two new to us web sites that have helped us save a lot of money the past few months.

http://www.iheartpublix.com

http://www.southernsavers.com

I like that on southernsavers.com you can see all of the drugstores plus grocery stores like krogers and bi-lo. They go through the weekly ad about a day before and tell you where the coupons are and also find printable ones. They do a really good job at matching up bogo’s with coupons to get the best possible deal.

iheartpublix.com is also a good one in that it goes through the ad a few days in advance. The author also discusses promotions that Publix is offering and the best possible scenarios.

When it comes to drugstores I have started leaning towards southernsavers.com to find the best deals. While they don’t get the ad as early as iheartcvs.com. Etc. They have tended to put a little more thought into the best money saving strategies. They have also listed several more coupons that they have found.

Figure out what method works best for you and helps your family save the most money.

Sorry for our extended hiatus but well BrokeMom needed a break.

This summer has been fun with Broke Baby gathering his wings and starting to walk and run at the same time. Our fun has just started and let the tantrums begin. We’re back and have some fun article ideas!

we are going old  school like how we started and talking about what is going on in our lives. There will be tidbits of personal finance thrown in as we are still the BrokeFamily.

Thank you to our readers who emailed us asking What’s up? Working and raising a Toddler has not been easy but with time management and working as a team we can make it happen. We are going to write articles about how we do things in our household kind of like how Jon and Kate Plus 8 used to be.  Get ready for some fun because we here we go!

After recently talking to some fellow Moms I got the understanding that many do not utilize Publix grocery stores in their shopping adventures. I was fighting for them but kept getting shot down. Here are some of the things they told me:

Myth: Publix is too expensive

Decoding: Not really many of their items are comparable to Bi-lo or Bloom, They have great deals and specials.

Myth: They are high end so I don’t go there

Decoding: Your loss then I go there every Sunday and buy their bogo items and produce. They also have the penny item meaning you get the item

We have found Gerber Graduate snacks to be some of Brokebaby’s favorites. Especially since we went and had the kid who hates Cheerios!

On one of my many trips to the grocery store I found a new item of theirs. Gerber Graduates Smart Sips. SMART SIPS beverages are packed with 15 essential vitamins and minerals and omega-3 fat to support your toddler’s healthy growth and development.

They had a coupon on the front saying try me free! I got three of them and bought them individually.

I filled out the rebate form for two of my co-workers and myself and mailed them in. About 4 weeks later I got a check for $3.79 which is what I paid. Free Milk! The best part is that it does not have be refrigerated since its more of a sippy cup and it can travel easily. Look for it at your local store in the baby section.
