Greetings!
 Happy Valentines Day!
The theme this month is of course LOVE! Over the years one thing I am certain of is how much people love coupons! I know I do and I have a really hard time shopping without them. Why is this? I think it has to do with how I feel when I shop with and without coupons.
With coupons, I feel I shop in alignment with my priorities, however without coupons, I feel am not. If I am out of alignment for too long, then things really feel out of control. Have you used a shopping cart that needs a wheel alignment? These require much more effort and I usually ditch them in favor of one that works!
So it is with my coupons. When I am away from them (and this does happen) I quickly find my way back. They help me plan better, guide my choices, save my family money and in the end this makes for a much smoother and more enjoyable ride for everyone!

 TIP
How Coupons Share the Love!
It is interesting to watch how manufacturer coupon offers match the seasons of consumer spending. This has all the makings of a love fest between consumer and manufacturer. Most recently leading up to the Super Bowl there were coupons available for all sorts of creative snacks, and appetizers. Now with Valentine's Day a day away, coupon offers over the last weekend were bursting for delectable candies, chocolates and even products used to enhance romance! On the heels of that will come coupons for everything Easter.
Obviously this predictable display of seasonal offers is designed to get you to buy certain brands; many of which have been around since my parents were kids! However for the consumer who is willing to consider these offers; there is real money to be saved while maintain value for your family. Coupon expiration dates average about 3 - 6 months so to clip and organize coupons means you will save money now and later after the frenzy has died down. Besides, some of the best deals ever are available in the day's right before and following a holiday when clearance offers/prices plus coupons equal huge savings. Combine a store coupon with a manufacturer's coupon and this really boosts savings!
In the end, you get what you need at a great price, the store and manufacturer move inventory and the cycle repeats itself over and over. Like I said a real love fest and these days we need more of this! |

Blogs written by Coupon Lovers
Consumers who are passionate about saving money and living within their means!
In recent months we have received many positive reviews from bloggers who specialize in writing money saving tips and sharing tools. We are thrilled to be beloved and embraced by this community of mostly women, many of whom are Moms. Having visited many of these blogs I am really impressed with the depth of information that is made available and how their blog is a powerful tool to communicate where and how to get the deals.
Below are a few blogs to check out and you'll see what I mean:

COUPONIZER of the month
Peggie O'Neil-Baron
Cleveland, OH
For Amy ~
I cannot express what a wise investment purchasing your "The Couponizer". No longer do I have coupons in my desk drawers, kitchen drawers, my car, but all neatly organized in one spot. While shopping with my "Couponizer" several individuals requested where I purchased it. Of course I gave them your web site.
The TRUE proof, this product is a blessings, is my husband and my 2 adult children who reside in our home ALSO use it. It's truly a family used item that we all enjoy using, so indeed this has been one of the best investments I've ever made. Oh yes, before I forget, after using this item for only several months... the money we saved in coupons, PAID for the cost of our "Couponizer".
Wishing you and your family as well as your staff, a very blessed Holiday Season, and a happy and healthy New Year!

Peggy - Thank you for writing to me over the holidays. May you continue to reap what you have sown. Wishing you all the best! |
 Couponizer Cook
Apple Oven Pancake
from Betty Crocker's new Cookbook - page 50
This is my family's favorite breakfast! I recently made this for my small group and all the Mom's asked for the recipe, so here you go!! INGREDIENTS:
2 TB stick butter
2 large eggs
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
1/4 tsp. salt
2 TB brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 cup thinly sliced peeled apple
Lemon juice and powdered sugar and maple syrup
DIRECTIONS:
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Melt butter in pie plate, 9 X 1 1/4 ", in oven; brush butter on side of pie plate (glass works best).
Beat eggs slightly in medium bowl with wire whisk, beat in flour, milk and salt. Arrange apple slices over melted butter in pie plate, sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on top. Pour batter over the apples and bake 30 minutes. Pancake will puff up while baking and fall upon cooling. Sprinkle lemon juice (if desired) and powered sugar over each serving. Serve with hot maple syrup.
