According to The Coupon Clippers and I Heart Publix, this weekend is a great weekend to buy multiple copies of the newspaper. There are going to be 5 coupon inserts. Normally there are just two. So, I will be buying many for myself- at least 6, maybe 8. I’m really excited about some of the coupons- Nestle’s chocolate chips, lots of Publix coupons which can be matched with manufacturer’s coupons and some Green Giant coupons for 50 cents. At Publix, some Green Giant frozen veggies are $1 right now so I’ll be able to get frozen veggies for free, if they match up. Remember, those $0.50 coupons double at Publix, so they are worth $1! Obviously, I will buy one paper first and check that there are tons of coupons in it that I like before I buy 8, so I suggest you do the same. 
If you want to have an idea of what is likely to be in the paper, you can check out the calendar at The Coupon Clippers. Remember, there are usually some variation from region to region.
Ok, regarding buying the paper… You want to buy the paper as inexpensively as possible, because each dollar you pay for your coupons is a dollar that cuts into the money you are supposed to be saving. So, if you live in Atlanta and read the AJC, print out a bunch of these coupons. These are Kroger coupons, but remember they are also accepted at most Publix grocery stores. If the cashier doesn’t recognize them, tell him that it is a Kroger coupon for the AJC and is treated as a competitor coupon. Of course, if you have friends, family or neighbors who get the paper but don’t clip coupons, ask them if you could have their coupon sections. I have a neighbor who is quite happy to give me her coupons. I love it! Most people just throw them away.

I can’t tell you how many outfits I could have saved from meal-time disasters if I had a bib nearby. Here’s the scenario: my son wakes, I bring him downstairs and place him in the high chair, and he immediately demands food. Usually the last thing I can find is a bib, so I begin to feed him hoping half of his food doesn’t land on his shirt. Of course it always does. I came up with this idea so I always have a clean bib nearby. Luckily his chair has a hole that I’m able to hang his bibs. I hope this makes your life a little easier. I know it’s made mine.
