Joy it Forward giveaway: Coupon Organizer, DVD & coupons!

By Faye Prosser

Posted: January 1

Our last Joy it Forward giveaway for this holiday season includes a Smart Spending Coupon Organizer Insert Set, a "Cut Your Grocery Bills in Half" DVD and an envelope of coupons!

The Coupon Organizer Insert Set includes 24 professionally printed, tabbed dividers and 25 Ultra-Pro nine-pocket coupon insert pages. The 24 tabbed dividers have the names of product typed printed on them including Baking, Beverage, Bread, Cleaning, Condiments, Dairy, Frozen, and more. The insert set fits in any regular 3-ring binder. This giveaway does not include a binder.

The "Cut Your Grocery Bills in Half" DVD is a video tape of a 2 hour class I taught in 2009. Obviously, some of the specific store policies have changed since then, but the couponing basics information remains the same. This is a good introduction to couponing for those just getting started.

For more information on both of these products, head to my website at smartspendingresources.com.

To enter this giveaway, post a comment below about a financial goal you have for the new year. I'll pick the winner randomly on Friday, January 4th at 11 am and post the winning name soon after.

Our family's financial goal for the new year is to cut our spending in both the food and entertainment categories so that we can save for college for both our teenagers.

My goal is to pay off my credit card by the end of 2013. I would only have my car payment left and I have couponing to thank for that!

I stopped working in February 2012 in order to be a full time mom to my son, now 6, and my now 13 month old twins. Not only did that mean cutting our household income by 1/3, but also giving up my fantastic health insurance for my husband's less than stellar coverage. All of which is to say: both money and time are precious! I need all the help and cost-cutting I can get.

My goal is to share this blog with as many people as possible. I want everyone to know how to save money, and this blog is one of the best ways I have found to learn how to save. I have been couponing for years, but I still learn so much from not only Faye but from all of the gracious people who comment. Thanks to all of you, and here's to a happy and frugal New Year!

My goal for 2013 is to use coupons to help me save for a new computer to get more coupons off line. It is hard trying to use coupons in Oxford and we have no grocery stores that double coupons. If I go to Durham or Raleigh to use my coupons by doubling or tripling them I will still be able to save for my computer and pay for the gas to travel those miles. If I do this I really need to get my coupons very organized so I won't have to search for them while in the stores and will save time also. Being on disability with lots of medical expenses makes things tight and couponing has always been a way for me to get the extra foods and savings I needed when I had was to double my coupons. Now I just have to work at saving a little harder. Thanks for all your tips. Happy New Year Faye.

Had to buy a new car in Dec so it is time to start saving. 2013 is the year to start getting serious about couponing, used two yesterday (bought three items) - great way to start 2013!

My friend does couponing and she saves a lot of money and always seems to have her pantry stocked very well. I want to save money, too and be able to use what I save to go to North Dakota to see my new granddaughter.

My financial goal this year is to spend less at the grocery store using Fay's tips and tricks and not let my coupons expire before using them. Plus we will be in a better financial situation once our 28 year old daughter graduates in May from nursing school. We have been helping her financially over the past two years and that has been hard on us but we'd do it again if we needed too!

My husband and I are both going on Medicare this year so I need to tighten the belt and choose wisely during this adjustment time. Getting old can be expensive with insurance etc. Thanks to you Faye we have plenty to eat and a low cost. We are facing another challenge also. My husband's doctor has told him to watch his sugar or another pill is on the way. I need to shop for more healthy foods and not have so many sweets in the house. Also want to start walking when time allows (after our current sickness situation). Word of advise to you younger guys - do not wait until you are older to adopt good eating habits. It is hard to change once you are retired and not as active. Thanks Faye and all my coupon friends for your posts that help me save. Looking forward to another great year with you all!

I would like to keep my coupon book with me and readily available in 2013. I missed out on some discounts last year when I was in places other than the grocery store.

It has always been a dream of mines to live in a house. I can remember drawing pictures of houses as young as 8 years old hoping one day I could live in a big house with my own room. I am 28 years old with 3 children of my own and I'm determined this year I will save every dime possible to give my children the house my parents were never able to provide for me. God is making it possible with people like you Faye providing your wisdom on savings. Thank you so much! I'm saving to purchase my first home!

Our goal in 2013 is to spend less money on everything from food to entertainment, even insurance - we're going to shop around to find better rates. My husband is retired and no tin good health, and I'm unemployed, so we need to scrimp and save everywhere we can.

Our goal for the next 1 and 1/2 years will be to pay down our debt so we can retire early. My husband will be 62 in 2014 and with his health issues (heart attack Nov. 29) we decided he should take early retirement and collect social security. I'm not old enough to collect yet so by paying off everything ASAP we could live very comfortably on his pension and social security. We are considering moving to another country to make our dollars go further if needed. Since his heart attack, we realized how important having time together is. The extra money we save using coupons, price matching and sales will add more to our savings.
