Since the end of the month is nigh, now is a great time to clear out your expired coupons.  Check out some of my favorites, including   Mommy Coupon Swappers , Couponing 4 the Military , and Living on a Boot Band Budget (sucessfully!)  to learn more about this great way to pass on the savings!   Keep on saving!  :o) --Barbara

AFM: Frugal Fun Fact Friday   10-21-11 Did you know... ...stores MAKE MONEY when you use a manufactures coupon.  If you read the fine print on a manufacture's coupon, you'll see that a store will not only be reimbursed the cost of the coupon, but will usually get an additional 8 cents per coupon for shipping and handling.  (The store pays for the "doubled" portion of a coupon, should they choose to double.)  So, go out and make your store some money, while you SAVE money in the process!  ;o) P.S.  This only works when coupons are used ethically .   Keep on saving!  :o) --Barbara
