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.

We are trying very hard to eliminate all credit card debit. There is one card left, then we will only owe our house. It's been a very hard thing to do since my husband lost his job 2 years ago. Thankfully the Lord blessed him with something last year, but I praying for a job in his field this year.

I would love a way to be better organized to save money, especially with my coupons. I try to use coupons every time I shop, but know that I miss out on specials, etc. because I am not organized.

My main goal is to try and save money, havent been able to do that bc it seems like when i do put a little extra back something comes up & takes it. I do coupon and I have a little stock pile going but I want to get better at it and get more piled up just in case, better safe than sorry!

My main financial goal is to of course save some money. However, the main goal is to be able to purchase hearing aids for my husband. Things are tight and they aren't cheap nor are they covered by insurance. So I can use all the help I can get in this goal. Happy New Year everyone.

I'm a stay at home Mom to a 3 year old little boy and one of my financial goals is to save more money on our grocery bill. Since moving out here from California, I need to find out what stores double coupons and buckle down and save our family money. That is just one of my goals for the new year, thank you for this great website! I really do appreciate all the tips! :)

One of my goals is to learn more about swag bucks and to use more coupons. I don't get to shop much because of my disability, but I give my husband the coupons and he gets what he can. Sometimes, he doesn't want to use them. I will have to save more money because they will be a drastic change in our income situation in which we may not have money to buy groceries and have to rely on coupons.

ive always used coupons, even when i was single and before i had my child. i recently became unemployed through no fault of my own, and my food budget had dropped drastically, so couponing is even more important and necessary for me, until i find another job. Cutting food costs is the only area I can cut back on,as i still have a mortgage and car payment.

nymamiyankee

This year I will use couponing to feed my family of four for less. I hope to then use the savings to go towards saving for the kids' college.

leanejones

My goal is to win this prize! Starting over in 2013 to couponing and have very few at the moment.

Just like Congress I plan to cut spending and pay down existing debt! Maybe I'll have more luck doing this than they are.

My financial goal for the year is to find a job. I have been looking since Jan.'12. A job would put us back in the black as to the red.

My financial goal is to continue coupon and stay on the Dave Ramsey budget to pay off the remainder of our debt and get out our 1st one off to college without any loans :)

My financial goal for 2013 is to find a job and to pay off the credit card debt that accumulated do to my recent divorce. Being a stay-at-home Mom for over 20 years makes it very difficult to find a job.

A financial goal I have is to buy a house. For over 6 years I have lived in an apartment and now I want something to call my own. I got two credit cards with low credit limits to up build my credit up and have started putting money back so hopefully within time I shall have a place of my own.

sechristmichelle

It is my financial goal to feed my family for four on $75 or less per week. This means I will have to have all of my coupons in order and ready to go at all times! But if I can achieve this we will save over $4,000 this year!

nakabi

Sorry for the mistake. Couponing helped me to retire Dec. 21. I will have more time now for coupons. My goal is to save at least 75% each trip to Harris Teeter. Thanks again Faye for all you do.

My goal is to use coupons to cut down further on our food and health related expenses in *HOPES* that I can leave my job and be a SAHM once my second baby comes in 2013. My hubby and I think I can do it, fingers are crossed! :)
