Payless Shoes is having a fantastic summer clearance sale.  Many of their shoes are more than 50% off.  Plus, there is a $10 off a $25 purchase coupon you can stack for an even better deal.  There are tons of summer clearance sandals, cute flip flops and more.

 

The sandals above are my personal favorite.  Turquoise is such a hot color this summer.  For only $6 these are definitely worth it.  Turquoise a little out of the box for you?  Don’t worry, you can still wear these with black, coral, brown and yellow to name a few.  You’ll feel sassy and stylish at a great price!  They even come in 5 different colors!!

Does your little one need a backpack for back to school?  This back pack is not on sale, however if your cart totals $25 use code 73809 for $10 off your purchase!  It’s like making your own personal sale. 

Check out what all I got for $21 in my cart below.  This is a great opportunity to throw a pair of children’s flip flops in your cart to donate.  As hard as it is to imagine there are many who need shoes.  Don’t forget to choose ship to store for free shipping!

Welcome: Join the Time 2 $ave Community

If you just heard Time 2 $ave on Living Wealthy Radio with Teresa KUHN
Talk Radio 1370am Hi and Welcome!

If this is your first visit, we’d like to thank you for stopping by. We are excited to have the opportunity to serve you and hope the information we provide guide you as you enter the world of couponing.

Like most, the effects of our nations economy hit our family’s hard. As a result, we attempted to save our family money by eliminating family vacations, taking our children out of extra curricular activities and buying only store brand foods. However, the savings didn’t add up.  Out of great skepticism we started couponing. After hundreds of hours of research, months of practice, and many trials and errors our tenacity paid off. We began to see our grocery bill dwindle each week as we learned how to use coupons effectively.

Now, to keep this in perspective we don’t LOVE COUPONS. We don’t wake up every morning excited to cut up coupons or jump on every deal that we can find. Simply put – couponing just happened to be the tool that brought hope to our family’s finances. Most importantly it has afforded us the incredible opportunity to give into the lives of others in ways we never imagined.

You’ll see quickly that we want to offer our community much more than just grocery/drug store savings. Only a small part of our life is spent at the grocery store. We want to speak encouragement to each of you, bring you content that is relative to your life, introduce you to thousands of others in our community and have FUN all at the same time!

 

Couponing has to FIT into YOUR LIFE  ~ NOT become YOUR LIFE.

If you have thought about using coupons, or attempted without success, don’t quit now. Learning an entire new mindset to shopping doesn’t happen overnight. It will take time to understand the process, take one step at a time. I (Kasey) remember the first time I saved $12.00 on my grocery bill, I floated out to the parking lot to my car. We encourage you to celebrate those moments, give yourself a pat on the back and enjoy how great it feels to save.

From our own experience, it’s important to keep couponing in perspective in our lives. We remind ourselves that couponing is a tool that helps our family’s finances not a tool that takes over our lives. For us that means that we don’t chase every deal and we don’t go to every store. Our goal is to shop one grocery store per week, and if time permits one quick drug store trip.
