Super Savers

  Hey there, Super Savers! If you’ve ever dug through your purse, coupon binder, or inbox only to find that your golden ticket of savings expired yesterday... whew, you’re not alone. We've all had those "Noooo!" moments—like losing a boss battle right before the checkpoint. As a seasoned saver, I've stumbled through more than a few of these heartbreaks myself. So, in true 21st-century fashion, I turned to the digital Avengers of advice: ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Perplexity. I asked them one very important question: "How can I make sure to use coupons before they expire?" And wouldn't you know it? These four techno-wizards actually agreed on a few basics: Sort coupons by expiration date Set reminders or add dates to your calendar Check your coupons before you shop Keep your coupons organized These may not be new tricks, but they ARE tried and true. If you've ever watched TLC's Extreme Couponing (aka the Olympic...

  Super Savers, you've already unlocked the secret weapon of smart spending: stocking up on food and household goods when they're on sale. You've even used those super deals to build up your emergency fund like a boss. But what's next? It's time to talk maintenance—because a stockpile is only as strong as the systems behind it! First things first: rotate your stash! Awaken your inner grocery store clerk and practice FIFO (first in, first out). Use the oldest dated items first to avoid the heartbreak of discovering a can of soup that's gone rogue. It's the pantry version of Back to the Future—you want to catch those items before they go "bad date" on you. Now, don’t let those "Best By" dates scare you. Many of them are more like suggestions than hard deadlines. That box of pasta that's a month past its prime? Probably still good to go. Just use your senses (and a little common sense). Organization is your friend, Super Savers. Keep it...

  Memorial Day is more than just the unofficial start to summer—it’s a time to honor those who have served and sacrificed for our country. As we fire up the grills and enjoy a long weekend, let’s tap into our inner superheroes to make smart, respectful, and community-minded choices. Captain America: Just like Captain America—who proudly served in the U.S. military and remains deeply committed to the values it taught him, active duty military and veterans should proudly take advantage of benefits and special offers available to them this weekend.

Superman: Embrace your inner Clark Kent and use X-ray vision to spot real deals . Not every discount is as heroic as it seems. Do a little research before you buy to ensure the sale is genuine and that you're getting true value for your money. A good deal honors your budget like Superman...

  Hey there, Super Savers! It’s your friendly neighborhood deal-hunting homebody, back with another tale from the frugal frontier! Now, some of you might remember that I recently kicked off a journey of self-improvement. It all began with a vision board, which led to the purchase of a fitness watch (channeling my inner Inspector Gadget!), and—fingers crossed—it’s gonna lead to some big fitness wins. But you know what? I realized I skipped the origin story of that vision board. And trust me, this tale is less Tony Stark tech lab and more MacGyver meets Dollar Tree. So here’s the scoop: I’ve heard of vision boards that look like they belong in a museum or on a Pinterest throne. And I love a good aesthetic as much as the next person, but my budget said, “Not today, Satan!” Super Savers know the motto—spend smart, not hard. So I put my money-saving mind to work. Last year, I dusted off a book on vision boards for the second time. This time, I was determined to take action, not just not...
