First I am just going to go off topic for a minute and say that the brilliant people at our local Fox affiliate decided to show a pre-season NFL football game instead of the #1 rated show on TV’s results show so I am up at a stupid hour of the night to find out who won So You Think You Can Dance. I also possibly put in a very rambley and angry call to the people at Fox which I am sure they will all have a good laugh over tomorrow. I am super classy when I am ranting.
Now for a frugal tip. This isn’t so much a tip as a tool to make your frugalness easier. Cause I might have mentioned I am quite lazy. So the frugal…it’s gotta be easy. Lesson #1, cut coupons. I promise I will tell you all about the organization next week (I am a coupon organizing tease!!). But you got the coupons, you got the list and you are heading to the store.
Then you gotta balance the kids in the cart, the purse, the groceries, the list, the coupons…it’s enough to make you grab a bag of oreos off the shelf and rip them open right in the aisle!! The worst is when you get through check out and you realize you forgot a few coupons that made their way to the bottom of your purse. What you really need is an assistant and a few extra arms.
Enter the List Caddy. It’s a handy little clip that goes right on the shopping cart and holds your list, your coupons and even a pen to cross things off (or add those oreos and a bottle of wine to the list). It fits right in your purse and when you aren’t at the store it is magnetic and can go right on the fridge. The other reason it is so frugal? You can use it for a whole host of other things. My personal favorite is the recipe holder in case you are wondering.
You know what is the most frugal thing about these little babies? Two of you can get one for free!! Oh yeah, there is nothing more frugal than free. So head over to their website and tell me what color you would get if you won. You don’t need a blog, just a valid email address that I can contact you at if you win. That’s it and random number generator will do the rest. This contest runs until Saturday August 16 at midnight. Or however late I choose to stay up. Good luck!!
*this contest is closed. Congrats to Devon and Karen.

I think I would get the lime green one to make sure it was visible amongst the stuff in my bag. It wouldn’t do much good if it was buried at the bottom of my purse. LOL! Thanks for the giveaway. I like their idea scrapbook, it has a lot of good ideas for using it.

I always end up in the grocery needing a third, and possibly fourth, hand…sorting through my coupons, scratching things off my list, trying to find the stupid customer loyalty card (aka Big Brother Knows I Buy Oreos Card).
I’d go for purple to coordinate with my coupon pouch. Great giveaway idea, thanks for the chance to win!

I’m so in LUST with the hot pink one. Do you know how often I lose my pen because I sit the list, coupons and pen in the seat and it rolls off? Grrrr… or better, LC grabs it and decorates her legs.
Cheers!

Green would be for me… It would show up on the frigerator, rather than white, which would be nice. My husband puts the list in his pocket, goes shopping and tries to remember what was on his list, instead of taking it out of his pocket! Wish I could do the shopping again.

It really doesn’t matter what color. I could say red because it stands for CVS and it’s one of my daughters favorites. Or, I could say blue because it’s my favorite, or purple because my youngest daughter adores anything purple. Hey, who cares what color it is? It’s to help me save money and get the things I need. It just needs to fuction well!
