"I love all the extra work that comes along with preparing a meal" said no one ever!  I do love to make delicious home-cooked for me and my family, but NOT all the inevitable 'byproduct' work that comes along with it, and I'm sure no one does.

While it is completely impossible not to have all that extra work in the kitchen, there are super easy ways you can  implemented to reduce the amount of cleanup and the mess that can be created during prep and cooking time.

These are the couple of things I normally do to minimize all that 'byproduct' extra work.  They might sound simple, but they really are extremely helpful!

Contrary to what many people think, being a stay-at home mom is not the perfect smiley, all made-up, and perfectly dressed girl portrayed in pictures and commercials.  Far from it!  Being a stay-at-home mom is one of the busiest and hectic jobs in the world, especially when you have more than one child.

Between taking care of the kids, taking care of the house (trust me, that is already two jobs!), and if like me, you are a Blogger, there is barely time to get out of our pajamas (lol), relax, take a breath, and be able to take care of our own needs!

So to make my days a little less insane, there are the things that absolute get me going and help me stay focused throughout the day!

Having a nice pile of coupons on your way to the grocery store is a great way to start your couponing experience, but don't stop there. With a little extra organization, effort, and tips, you can maximize the value of your coupons!

 Here are some Fantastic Tips!

• BUY TO STOCK UP – One of the best ways to save big in grocery shopping is to buy items when you have a coupon, rather than when you need them.  If it's a great coupon don't pass it, use it, even if you don't need the item right away, and stock up on non-perishable items.  Letting the coupon expire is like throwing cash in the garbage can!
• LOOK FOR SPECIALS – There's nothing better than buying an item that is on sale, and having a coupon on top of it. Check your local grocery stores weekly ads to find the items that are on sale, and buy at the store that is offering the best sale on the item you have coupons for.  Most of the grocery insert their weekly ad in the local newspaper, and if you don't have a subscription, check their website, many of them publish their specials online.    If you do not like the idea of going to different stores to buy different items . . .
• BRING COMPETITORS COUPONS OR ADS — Did you know that many grocery stores match competitors' prices?  Most of the major grocery stores, including Walmart, will match competitors' in-store coupons, and/or advertised prices as long as you are buying the exact same item.
• GET A RAIN CHECK – If the store is out of stock on the item on sale you want, you are entitled to receive a rain check to buy the item later on.  Most stores will honor this policy, and some will even accept the expired coupon later on to use it with the rain check. Just ask the manager. Even if the coupon is not accepted later on, you'll still get to buy the item at the sale price.
• GET YOUR COUPONS DOUBLED – Many stores offer coupon-doubling, some, even triple on certain days of the week.  All you have to do is call the grocery store to find out the day of the week they do it.
• BE FLEXIBLE – Sometimes you'll find a coupon for a brand that you don't normally buy.  First check if the discount is worthy to buy that other brand, and if it is, use it!
• ALWAYS DO YOUR MATH – When it comes to groceries, in most occasions, buying the bigger-sized item saves you the most. However, the smaller size could be a better deal when you have a high-value coupon that requires the purchase of 2 items and/or the smaller item is highly discounted. Again always do your math! Always compare the price on a per-unit or ounce basis after the coupon deduction, and if it's a better deal, buy the smaller item!!!​
