My Top 10 Tips for Frugal Living: #1 Be Ethical & Honest!
As I continue my Top 10 Tips for Frugal Living, my list so far:
# 10 Know the Prices here
# 9 Be Organized here
# 8 Network here
# 7 Rebate here
# 6 Menu Planning here
# 5 Be Patient! here
#4 Know the store's coupon policies here
#3 Have a Good Supply of Coupons here
#2 Use Store Perks Wisely here
#1 Be Ethical and Honest
I saved this for the last one, because to me it is the most important.
As a Christian, I'd rather be honest than to save money. I mean that! I know that some may say that this is just my personal convictions and that's fine. But, I know that the Lord will bless my efforts (no matter what I'm doing) if ONLY I do it in a way that glorifies Him. That means, I don't see how I could "cheat the system" or any such behavior.
Now, I love getting a good deal just like anyone else. But, NOT if it comes at the expense of cheating or dong something fraudulent. For example, I don't send in rebates to multiple addresses when it clearly says, "one per household". Now, some may justify by sending one to their mom or such, but if I paid for it and I'm filling out the paperwork, I feel that it is only right for me to get one rebate.
I know that even if no one else sees, the Lord sees. I also want to uphold a hight level of integrity before my husband and children. I want to set that godly example before them. And lastly, I consider it a witness to store employees. I shop the same stores, basically, all the time. And believe me, people watch your lives. I always want to behave in a manner that will draw people to Him.
I hope this helps someone!

#2 Use Store Perks Wisely
You need to know how to use the Extra Care Bucks (ECB)at CVS, the Register Rewards (RR) at Walgreens, and the Catalina deals at grocery stores effectively. Each one has different sets of rules and store policies.
First, ECB at CVS are issued when you buy a particular item. For example, Colgate total is priced at $2.99, and there is a $2 ECB. So, you buy the Colgate, it rings up at $2.99, you use a $.75 cpn, and you pay $2.24. After your transaction, you receive at the bottom of your receipt a $2 ECB good on your next purchase. Now, there is usually a limit of one ECB per item, so rolling these is not really an issue. But, you can if the limit is two or more. Which means, you can then purchase another Colgate, use a $.75 cpn and the $2 ECB, and you only pay $.24 and get another $2 ECB. It's usually wise to use your ECB on items that will generate more. Doing this will allow you to roll them, and you will always have ECB.
Secondly, RR at Walgreens have a totally different set of rules. They basically work similarly as they print after you purchase an item that has a RR attached to it.
Let's use the Colgate as an example again. You buy the Colgate, it rings up at $2.99, you use a $.75 cpn, and you pay $2.24. After your transaction, you receive a RR that prints from their Catalina machine good on your next purchase. Now, here's the difference. You CANNOT use your $2 RR from Colgate to purchase more Colgate. If you do, the RR will not print the second time. Another difference is that there is no limit, so the best way to utilize these great deals is to do multiple transactions. For instance, you buy Colgate in Transaction #1. In Transaction #2, buy something that will generate more RR and is close to $2 after coupons. Then, in transaction #3, buy Colgate again using a cpn and the RR from transaction #2. Just make sure you don't use RR to buy the same item, unless you don't want more RR. Another difference w/RR is they are considered manufacturer's coupons. Walgreens policy is you cannot have more coupons than the number of items. So, let's say in Transaction #3 above, if you are going to only buy Colgate and want to use a cpn and a RR, you need to grab a filler item (something really inexpensive) that will allow you to use the RR. I usually grab a caramel or candy at the register.
Lastly, Catalina deals are another great way to save money. Recently at Kroger, they had a Catalina promo on Betty Crocker potatoes. Buy 3, get $3 back. Well, the bags were only $1, so if you bought 3 for $3, you got $3 back...basically FREE. In addition there were coupons to stack w/this deal. So, I ended up paying $1.80 and got $3 off my next order. These rolled too...you could do this transaction after transaction and basically get a lot of FREE potatoes.
