Occupation: Independent AVON Sales Rep & Recruiter

If I had a day to myself...:
Sleep late, read a book, just be lazy for a day

Money Saving Tips:
Combine coupons with sales, shop discount bread store, take advantage of garage sales & thrift stores. I brew tea to make iced tea (add baking soda to the boiling water to expand the tea leaves which gives you a deeper flavor)

Bargain Hunting Strategies:
I shop mostly at Kroger & CVS buying what is on sale and using coupons to get the best price.  Using store discount cards increase your savings.  I always check the clearance area for deals that I can combine coupons with.

Products we can't live without:
Packaged noodle & rice mixes added to meat and a veggie they round out a meal quickly.

In the Kitchen:
Chop onions, bell pepper, etc. and freeze in meal size servings to speed up dinner prep time.

Organization:
Keeping a list of what is in the freezer makes it easier to plan meals for the upcoming week and saves money by not buying repeats.
