Carnival of Personal Finance #316- Family Edition

Prairie Eco-Thrifter

Hello and welcome to the 316th Carnival of Personal Finance- Family Edition. This week I am reminding you all about those special people in your life- your family. This past weekend I headed out west with my husband, brother, and his girlfriend to help my parents move into their new house. It was during this rather taxing weekend that I was reminded of how great a loving family can be.

Grilled Banana Splits

Family Balance Sheet

I'm taking a summer classic up a notch. When I was grilling pineapple last week, my head was buzzing with all sorts of ideas for the grilled fruit. Why not grill bananas too and make homemade, grilled banana splits? My husband and I LOVE banana splits, but they are usually the most expensive item on the menu at our local ice cream shop. So we made them at home, but I grilled the bananas and the pineapple.

Simply CVS

There have been rumors off and on for weeks of CVS changing this policy and apparently as of this month, July 2011, you can no longer use a cents off coupon with a buy one get one free coupon as in the past. A couple of readers have reported seeing this on other sites and today I found Didie, at We Use Coupons, reporting calling customer service twice and asking about this.

What Does Coupon Stacking Mean?

Saving Cents With Sense

I have received several emails and comments asking about coupon stacking. What is it? And how do you use it to save at the grocery store? First, it is important to point out that there are two different types of coupons: Manufacturer Coupons – These can be used at any store that takes coupons. These coupons are issued by the product manufacturer, who will reimburse the store.

Easy Cold Brew Iced Coffee Recipe

For the Mommas

This summer, I have been enjoying iced coffee. I never tried iced coffee until this year. I stopped into a Wawa and on a whim picked up an ice coffee. I loved it. I did not love the price. The next day I decided to make iced coffee at home. Well, lets just say that tasted like dirty mop water. I asked my friend Chris (a coffee aficionado) how she made her ice coffee.

It’s About Spending Less, Not Saving More

Couponing 101

One thing new couponers are eager to learn is how to save more money. While it is important to learn how to save, I think the more important thing to learn is how to spend less. It may seem like the same thing, but let me give you an example. The Jones family wants to learn how to save more. They are a family of four and have a grocery budget of $60 per week, they cook 2-3 dinners from scratch each week and eat out once or twice a week.
