Head over to http://www.schwebels.com/promotions/thankyou?r=any-schwebels-product  to print your own .40 off any Schwebel's Product coupon. Take this to a store that doubles and score some seriously cheap bread! I have a local grocery store in my area that carries Schwebel's sweet harvest bread for $1.29 and they double coupons! I got mine for $.49!!!

Money Saving Tip #4 Know youre store's coupon policy. Every store has it's own coupon policy and most are available online. You would actually be suprised at how many store employees don't know thier on policies. You don't want to get to the checkout lane and have the cashier tell you that they can't accept your coupon because it doesn't match thier policy. I like to print the policy and keep it in my coupon binder as a quick reference in case the cashier disagrees with me. If there is a problem I simply pull out the policy and show it to the cashier. Here are some links to my favorite store's policies.

A recent study done by UN Environmental Programme (UNEP) and World Health Organization (WHO) says that our household cleaning chemicals are making us sick.

Legacy of Clean  is a line of Natural cleaning products. Amway uses naturally derived ingedients for better cleaning results.

Stock up and Save When you find a good sale, simply get more for your money. For example, a box of Kellogg's regularly priced at $3.99 goes on sale 2/$5 and you have a coupon for $1/2, you get 2 boxes for the price of one. Buy more now so you don't have to pay full price when you run out next week. ' If you don't have a pantry or lots of cabinet space, get a storage shelf that you can easily tuck away in a closet, bedroom, or basement. I personally have very limited space for my stockpile so I purchased a 4-shelf Utility shelf from KMart for $21.99 ( http://www.kmart.com/plano-4-shelf-utility-resin-shelf/p-010W030831560001P?prdNo=47&blockNo=47&blockType=G47 ) . It works beautifully.
