Best Saving's To Date

I have been couponing for awhile and I will be the first to admit that I am not a coupon queen. But I have been getting better and better at saving at the grocery store.

Lately I have been collecting all the coupons that I can and waiting for one big shopping trip in the month (usually surrounding my monthly commission check). The day of, I have been pulling up the Giant Eagle ad and making sure I grab all the coupons that have items on sale. Just these two simple things have helped me increase my savings.

My last greatest savings was around $50, but now I have surpassed that and am now at $73.41! It's not a free grocery bill but that s a huge savings for me and my fiance'. Since I bought quite a bit I probably wont have to go back to the grocery store to do a big shop till at least next month if not the month after that! Of course I will need to pick up the essentials every so often, like milk, eggs, and banana's.

This proves that you don't have to go crazy with coupons to save some money. I don't spend hours everyday organizing my coupons and calculating my savings, dumpster diving for coupons and other methods coupon queens use for their savings. I simple cut coupons, keep them in an organized binder by expiration date and pair them with weekly specials and last but not least save my food perks from Giant Eagle until I have a large % available.

I may not ever get to a free bill, but I'm saving money and that's what counts!

Happy Earth Day! Did you know you can Green your LaZBoy?!

In honor of Earth Day I wanted to inform you of a new line of green furniture available at La-Z-Boy. As many people who have owned a La-Z-Boy recliner can attest to, they last a long time as long as 20 years in some cases. They are built to last, with a engineered hardwood four sided frame to a mechanism and part made from steel. Not only are these elements apparent in their recliners but also in our full line of furniture. Part of being sustainable is the ability to last for years to come.

Another part of being sustainable is the impact of the environment. La-Z-Boy recently introduced two ways to make their furniture more eco-friendly. You can custom your furniture with either Eco-Comfort cushions or Eco-Comfort fabrics, or both!

The new line of Eco-Comfort fabric line is full of fun patterns and great solids. Tested and approved by Oeko-Tex, the world’s definitive ecological certification process, our EcoComfort fabrics utilize environmentally friendly materials. As a matter of fact, our EcoSuede fabric actually utilizes the plastic of one recycled water bottle for each yard of fabric, reducing waste and pollution.

The Eco-Comfort cushions are made from soybeans. The are a great eco-friendly product and they are just as comfortable as our traditional cushions. And because they are created from soy, which is a renewable resource, they leave a smaller environmental footprint.

If you like to see more styles that can be upgraded to Eco-Comfort please contact me or visit me at the La-Z-Boy Furniture Gallery in Montrose! Ask for Alison!
