Must have Apps on your Smartphone







If you are a smartphone owner we recommend some great apps, available to download for FREE for additional savings.



Saving  Star – Sign up for an account and add your customer # for the stores you shop at regularly. (Harris Teeter, Kroger, Lowes Foods, Food Lion, CVS, etc.) Select the items your family buys on regular basis. Do not select an item just because it gives a certain amount back. That is not a real saving or strategically shopping. Once you purchase the items you selected, savings will be credited to your account between 7-10 days. You can cash out when you accumulate $5.00 via Pay Pal, direct deposit to your banking account, or cash in for an Amazon gift card.

Ibotta gives consumers a new way to earn money for the products they buy. Ibotta pays customers for purchasing products and for learning facts about them. Sign up at http://ibotta.com/r/3vNNZA  check the available items, scan the bar code to see if the product matches, learn the facts, upload the receipt, and submit. You will be alerted when your account has been credited (processing time is within 24 hours). You can cash out via Pay Pal once you have a minimum of $5.00.

Endorse - gives you customized offers from 10% to 100% cash back on all your favorite brands. Offers are available on weekly basis (from Thursday to Wednesday). After you shop, take a photo of your receipt and submit for processing. Get cash back and points redeemable for charitable donations made in your name. Our favorite cash back items are: coffee, diapers, baby food, and gas. Sign up at: https://www.endorse.com/referral/Andrada/YZBy25OsvNVHe18JNS1-qMOA==AB Endores is no longer available.

How to save on fruits and vegetables


Fruits and vegetables are a staple in our homes. It is true, we do not have many coupons available for them; however we still can SAVE on produce. When shopping for fruits and vegetables, we recommend 3 sources:



Aldi – our #1 choice, especially when we have a need for both fruits and vegetables. Aldi’s prices allows us to just walk in the store and grab all the fruits and veggies at a decent price. Fruits tend to be ripped majority of the time, so if you know your family does not eat them daily or couple of times a day than do not buy more than 1 box/pint/bag.  

We will post on a weekly basis Aldi’s produce prices to help you opt for your choices when compiling your shopping list and/or trips.

Food Lion – if you have a Food Lion by your house, we recommend signing up for their email alerts. Every Tuesday, you will receive an email with their upcoming ad and additional coupon savings are ALWAYS included. Our favorite coupons are for produce and meat. The most popular ones are $$ off when spending a certain amount in the produce and/or meat department (Ex: $2 off if you spend $5 in the produce section or $2 off if you spend $7 or $8 in the meat department).

Earthbound Farm Organic – is one of the very few produce companies with coupons available on weekly basis. Visit their website http://www.ebfarm.com/ and sign up to receive email alerts. You will be amazed on what you will receive via email couple of times a week. Harris Teeter sells Earthbound Farm produce and often goes on sale. Matching the sale price with the printable coupon you receive via email makes another great saving for your everyday produce needs.

Zaycon Foods - A new way of buying meats



Have you heard of Zaycon Foods? If you have not, take a look at below video. We purchased from them numerous times fresh Boneless Chicken breast, hot dogs, chicken tenders, and pork fillets. We were very happy with our purchase every single time.

Zaycon Foods is coming back to our area in October 2013. They are coming to Cary/Durham/Raleigh couple of times a year now, since their market has grown a lot within the last year. Their prices are under the supermarket price and the chicken breast is fresh, never frozen. We are sharing this with you, because their prices are below the supermarket for the quality you are getting - About Zaycon
