You can add 5 points to your Disney Movie Rewards account with the code LKFJDAL838O.

If you aren’t familiar with Disney Movie Rewards, it’s a program that rewards you for buying Disney movies and merchandise. Here’s some more information on how it works.  You get codes to enter into your account for points that can be redeemed on prizes. Here’s a list of their prizes (there are even some for 0 points).  It’s free to join!

 

    One of the largest complaints with daily deal sites is that they never have truly local deals.  I want to see restaurants down the road, or a store nearby and grow tired of national deals to save on photos and other odds and ends.

    There is a new daily deal site, DailyScoup.com that has a focus of being “hyper-local”.  Folks in the same city won’t even see deals that are outside of a certain mile radius.  One other thing I like about there deals… rather than paying for your deal right now online, you instead pay $1 to grab a “Scoupon” for the deal and then pay the remainder in the store when you actually use it.  Honestly, this is the best part.  I’m currently having to get refunds from a few sites for deals that we’ve purchased to stores that have closed… now you aren’t really out anything until you head in and actually get the discount!

    They are just getting started in the Southeast so for many of us, we won’t see local deals for a few weeks, but you can get signed up now and they will email you when the deals start.  The more people signed up in your area the faster the deals will start!

                  If you think you're saving the most money at Aldi, you may want to check out this comparison.

                  As frugal-minded shoppers, we are always on the hunt to find the best prices without too much work. I know a lot of you have found that Aldi has low prices and good deals on certain items.  Since they don’t carry name brands or accept any coupons, I thought it might be a good idea to compare their prices with the sales and coupons at traditional grocery stores and see where things fall.

                  You might be surprised to learn that the comparison shows when you buy brand name and use coupons, you actually get much better deal!

                  To see the current Publix deals go here.

                  To see the current Aldi deals here.

                  To make the price comparison, I took 13 items from a recent Buy One Get One list at Publix and found the comparable house brand item at my local Aldi. This included items like canned tomatoes, brownie mix, condiments, snacks,  bread and dairy products. After tallying up the prices at both stores, here are the results:

                  Aldi: $19.47
                  Publix with coupons: $13.16
                  Publix without coupons: $21.73

                  As you can see, if you just want to walk in the store without clipping a coupon, you could save $2.26 to buy the Aldi store brands vs. national brands at Publix.  Add on the coupon savings and there really is no comparison.  I saved $6.31 shopping at Publix and I got Kraft cheese instead of the Aldi brand! Another point about Aldi is they only accept debit, or cash (no credit cards) and grocery bags are not provided.

                  I hope this helps you see that buying on sale and using coupons on name brand items can save you more just just shopping at discount stores. If you want to learn more about how to shops sales and coupon, check out the Learn to Coupon page!
