What’s Free With Coupons This Week

You can use coupons. You can mail in rebates. You can use or earn store rewards points/dollars. But, whatever you do, get your stuff for free! That’s what this list is about. With just a little bit of work, you can get some fun and practical stuff for free. And, even though a certain group of people in Washington DC has not been responsible enough to have a budget in several years, you and I don’t have that sort of luxury. So, whatever your budget looks like, I’m pretty sure “free” fits into it!

Call Me a Crazy Couponer, But At Least I’m Saving Money!

While couponing has become more “in style” than ever before, no doubt, there are still those out there that turn up their nose associating negative stigma with the use of those little paper beauties. Oh, well. You can’t impress everyone. But you can certainly keep your budget to an impressively low number with the use of coupons.

It seems like couponers tend to be on Team Target or Team Walmart… and occasionally both.

Thrifty Home Improvement – $20 Kitchen Makeover, No Paint!

I know, you’re thinking, “There’s no way only $20 could make a difference throughout an entire kitchen without painting it or doing something to the walls.”

I ask you… when is the last time you noticed the hardware on your cabinets? It’s amazing the impression they make, which isn’t surprising since they’re placed throughout your entire kitchen.

I recently moved into a new rental, and being a Thrifty Diva I chose to get something more affordable, but no doubt, you sacrifice looks a bit to do so. While the place is nice and funcational and safe, some of the fixtures are simply outdated in appearance. With it being a rental, there’s only so much I can do to improve it (especially since the owner wouldn’t approve my request to paint).

Looking at the kitchen, it screamed 80s. The most obvious factor, the wood cabinet pulls.

I got on Amazon.com and found the best deal on these Satin Nickel Cabinet Pulls. Much better!

After:

I removed all of the wood cabinet pulls, placed them in a ziploc bag, tucked them away in the back of an out of reach cabinet, and when I move out someday, I can simply put them back on the cabinets. But I bet even the landlord would prefer my cabinet pulls.

Though if my current cabinet pulls fit my future cabinets someday… psshhh… I’m putting back in the ugly wood ones and taking my pretty, shiny new ones with me!

What’s Your Splurge? Mine? Shoes ;)

Thrifty Divas save money… but we’re still Divas and need to treat ourselves like queens.

What is your indulgence?

A treat here and there, especially after saving so much money (thanks Coupon Cathy!) keeps you motivated.

For me, my first go-to treat is usually chocolate… but that’s not always so kind to my waist line, lol!

That’s why fashion is my #2 treat. And even though it’s sometimes a splurge, I can still keep it in check yet live like a star once in a while.

For example, if you’re going to splurge on an amazing new pair of shoes, you can sign up with ShoeMint.com which will help you find the perfect pair plus you’ll get FREE shipping!

When is the last time you treated yourself to a fabulous new pair of shoes?
