What it the hardest part of managing the household? Is it driving the kids all over to take them to sporting events, activities and school? Or is it cleaning up after everyone and trying to make sure the house is in order? Why am I the only one who knows where everything is? I guess to answer that one; it is because I have to put everything away.

Well, one thing that is easy for me is doing our shopping. Now, I am not talking about the grocery shopping since I still find it difficult with clipping coupons, using my grocery reward card and trying to make sure to maximize their weekly savings. Online shopping is the key. No kids, no lines, no sales people, only me and the computer. I can search for what I am looking for and come up with several options.

The other great part is that so many sites offer daily deals, clearance section and online only specials. I can grab my laptop and search online when everyone goes to sleep. I frequently check out Kmart to see what item they have for my household. Typically I can find $5 off or 15% off Kmart Coupons to save on my purchase.

Also, their parent company Sears has a great website and they offer the deal of the day. It really makes you check back everyday because the offers are so great. Plus, you can use Sears Coupons to increase your savings.

As a mom, I have limited time and I just want to find the easiest way to do my shopping and get the best price. Try to find the best price on a toaster oven by going from department store to department store with 3 kids. You probably spend more money on gas and snacks than the appliance is worth. Good luck and let me know what you find.

Happy Savings!

With the kids getting out of school and the weather getting warmer there is a ton of great outside events that you can save money on by being a Tropicana Rewards member. My favorite reward is the Zoo discounts. This is not only a fun place to visit with the kids after school is out, but it is educational as well.

By using 1 – 7 of your points you can go “wild” by saving money at the Zoo. Whether you use it off of a zoo admission or membership, the savings are awesome. There are Buy One Get One Free admission offers as well as saving a percent (%) off of your fee.

This is also a neat way to explore other zoo’s in other area’s. There are also some animal sanctuaries and Safari type places.
