Consignment Sales

Consignment sales are great ways to save money on your kid’s wardrobes. I try to limit my spending to about $60 a year for my younger kids. The best way to stretch your dollar is getting used clothing. I am always on the look out at garage sales. However, I am typically not able to find everything that I need at garage sales, and I always will hit consignment sales. You can find a list of all of the consignment sales in your area on this website.

Make sure to check out my 12 tips for consignment sale shopping.

Plus, you can check out my tips for getting free clothing.

If you want to check out some of my consignment finds from past years, you can read about them here and here.

Mega Swagbucks Friday!!!

It’s MEGA Swag Bucks Friday!!!  I love MEGA Swag Bucks Friday because on Friday when you are searching the web, you can ear 100, 200 or even 1,000 Swag Bucks!!!!

Swagbucks are how I have paid for most of my kitchen appliances, and where I order most of our herbs, vitamins, homeschool curriculum and healthy grains and foods. I LOVE Swag Bucks!!!! I even paid for almost our entire Christmas with Swag Bucks one year.

Anything that I really want but can’t afford, I just save up my Swag Bucks until I can purchase the items with an Amazon gift card.  The best thing about it is that once you sign up, it takes no extra time. I just earn the Swag Bucks as I am naturally searching online.

If you haven’t signed up yet, what are you waiting for? Give it a try today. You will get 30 Swag Bucks just for signing up.

$.50 Savings Per Gallon Gas (Very Limited Locations)

This sounds like a good deal for those of you that might be fortunate enough to live in the areas where these discounts will apply. Winn Dixie will be rewarding shoppers with a $.50 per gallon savings through 2/8. The details and locations of the program are listed below.

WINN-DIXIE ANNOUNCES 50-CENT-PER-GALLON GAS DISCOUNTS

Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc., is temporarily expanding the discounts earned through its fuelperks! program to help local motorists fight rising gasoline prices, which have passed the $3-per-gallon threshold. The grocer is rewarding shoppers using their Customer Reward Card with a 50-cents-per-gallon savings on gas for every single transaction of $100 or more in groceries beginning Jan. 26 through Feb. 8.

The limited-time bonus is five times the normal fuelperks! savings earned by customers using their Customer Reward Card. For example, shoppers who purchase $100 in a single transaction will now save 50 cents per gallon on their next tank of gas (saving $10 on a 20-gallon purchase) rather than the standard 10 cents off per gallon.

There is a maximum of one 50-cent-per-gallon discount per transaction, but customers who spend $100 in subsequent transactions will receive an additional 50-cent-per-gallon discount. Some exclusions apply including purchases from the in-store pharmacy, alcohol and tobacco products, sushi, gift cards, phone cards, money orders, lottery tickets or third-party services sold at the store service desk.

The fuelperks! program is available in northeast Florida, southeast Georgia, Panama City, New Orleans, Lafayette and Baton Rouge. For more information about fuelperks!, please visit the fuelperks! website or Facebook page.
