If you are an expecting mom or have a baby nine months or younger, you may want to check out this survey. When you complete it, you will get a $1 Paypal payment, so you also need to have a Paypal account.
I just got this email from an affiliate company I work with. I don’t qualify for it, so I can’t test it. If you do it, will you leave a comment and let us know how long it takes and if you think it was worth a buck? Thanks!

This deal is enticing to me. I’m thinking of getting this for my dad for Father’s Day. Or, I may break down and get it for myself. I had our van detailed once and it was so wonderful . . . while it lasted. My kids are older now, so it’s not quite as bad. Really . . . who am I kidding? They’re still slobs sometimes!! :)

Links for You . . .
I’ve been getting quite a few emails lately from people wanting me to do a coupon class or new to couponing, who are confused and have a question. I thought it would be helpful for me to repost this, which I posted after my last coupon class. (Currently, I don’t have a coupon class planned.)
The links will help you get to some of the important information. Also, don’t forget that there is a Facebook page! We post additional offers over there, mostly Facebook only deals and ones we think will be gone very quickly. You can also ask questions over there. Sometimes another reader will beat me to answering it, if I’m not around. Plus, it’s just more interactive. You will even get to hear boring things like the fact that I just got braces yesterday. I know, exciting — don’t all run over to Facebook at at once! :)
Here are some links for you . . .
Arizona Republic Newspaper for $7/week — home delivery on Sundays & Wednesdays
Saving Star — future savings, “click away,” payout at $5+
Endorse & Ibotta — mobile apps that give you money back for certain items
Safeway JustforU – sign up and make sure to check “personalized deals”
Video explaining the shopping list function – Try it, you’ll like it! :)
Organizing coupons — list of categories, etc.
Store policies — print out the ones you shop at
Here are some other general links to help jog your memory.
And, someone asked me about how I save on meat (after the class). I just wait for sales or use Zaycon Foods for buying bulk meats, especially boneless, skinless chicken breasts. (They were recently $1.79/lb for 40 pounds.) You can sign up to receive an email the next time they’re in town with chicken. They are coming soon and now taking orders for bacon ($3.49/lb for 36 lbs).
If I missed something important or you have a question, just leave a comment below. Thanks! ~ Juli

I’m hoping some of you need to clean out your pantry or would be willing to pick up some extra free or cheap items to donate.
I can’t find a local link to send you to, so I’ll type you my bag. :) Here’s the general link. I’m hoping all areas are participating. I know my Chandler area is.
I got a plastic bag in my mail today. It says, “It’s time for the annual Letter Carrier Food Drive! This bag is provided to you for your donation. Please place it by your mail box this Saturday, May 11 for pick up by your letter carrier.”
The food will be going to St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance, St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank, and United Food Bank.
If you didn’t get the bag, just make sure you clearly mark what it’s for and place it by your mailbox. Hopefully, it will get picked up!
For some great deals make sure you check out each grocery store list. We’ve added some new ones lately!

If you don’t have a blog/website, you may not have any clue what a “blog button” is. I was with you, a couple years ago, before starting this website.
It’s the image above. Basically, it’s the little logo “thing” that you can paste onto a website, with the computer code included (also called a widget).
I was recently asked for it and I remembered that I never told you it was now on the website, if you ever want it. (Go to “about” on the top menu bar and then “blog button.”)
I realize this won’t thrill most of you, but some of you have a personal blog or website and you like to share your favorite online websites with your readers. If that’s you and you’d be willing to post a link to Bargain Believer — thank you very much! It’s appreciated more than you know.
Here’s the code if you want to grab it from here:
<div align="center"><a href="http://www.bargainbeliever.com" title="Bargain Believer"><img src="http://www.bargainbeliever.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bargain_believer_125_white.png" alt="Bargain Believer" style="border:none;" /></a></div>
Thanks to our friend, Gary, who made the logo! It will appear on the website someday. It doesn’t “fit” (in computer ways) and the website is waiting for a redesign — someday! It’s been on the Bargain Believer Facebook page for a long time, but that’s as far as we got. There’s always plenty on my “to do” list! :)

This is a reminder for all you SRP Time-of-Use users out there . . . The peak (expensive) time for using electricity is from 1pm – 8pm Monday through Friday, beginning May 1, 2013. (Weekends and holidays are all off-peak hours.) These hours will go through the end of October.
Update: This is just one of their plans. Check out the link above, if you have a similar plan, with different hours or want to look into your choices. (Thanks, Kristen!)
For years, I didn't use this plan. My husband convinced me it would be insane since I stay home all day. (Well, I do get out from time to time, but you get the point!) Neither of us are willing to sweat or have our guests sweat during peak summer hours. We were pleasantly surprised that we changed very little, nobody sweats, and we save money.
I tried it out during a risk-free time a couple years ago. I figured I had nothing to lose and haven't ever switched back. Unfortunately, that risk-free offer ended, but it still might be worth the risk to give it a try.
I almost always do our laundry and run the dishwasher during off peak times. That's the only change I made. (Our pool filter was already running at night.) We keep our thermostat where we're comfortable, at all times. We cook, vacuum, use the computer, etc. when we need/want to. I'm too lazy to go check what we saved last year, but two years ago, we saved just over $210. That's about $19 a month for changing my laundry and dishwasher running schedule — worth it to me! I'm guessing we'd save without even changing those, but I'm not sure.
