Stockpiling Diabetes Meter Machines

| October 28, 2010

November is American Diabetes Month. According to the American Diabetes Association “this year, we need to take a bolder, more audacious approach to American Diabetes Month. Consider that:

  • 24 million children and adults in the United States live with diabetes
  • 57 million Americans are at risk for type 2 diabetes
  • 1 out of every 3 children born today will face a future with diabetes if current trends continue”

Thanks Reader N… for the inspiration of this post.  We did some searching and found the following deals on diabetes machines. So gather and purchase those white envelopes for the coupons that will be released on 10/31. We have included the search image we mentioned earlier today to the bottom of this post, so bookmark this post to view after the 31st.

Buying White Envelopes

| October 28, 2010

With the new readers that are joining us every day we thought it might be a good opportunity to bring forward our discussion of white envelopes. Thanks Reader L.. for the reminder. Some of you are probably asking yourselves what in the world is a white envelope?

Have you notice that we post deal sneak peeks on Frugal Fairhope? We do this so you can get a heads up on what is going to be on sale next week. This could prevent you from purchasing something for full price and this could give you an opportunity to collect your white envelopes.

COUPONS!!!

With just a couple days sneak peek you could find coupons and have them shipped to you in white envelopes. Technically most coupons state you can’t sell, trade, transfer, or auction a coupon. But what you can do is purchase someone’s time to gather, sort, and clip coupons and you guessed it they come in a white envelope.

Here are the following sites that we have tried and tested.

Fairhope Farmer’s Market

We were up early this morning making bread for the Fairhope Farmers Market. Come out and get some fantastic deals on fruit and produce (and homemade bread) at the Fairhope Farmers Market this afternoon. It starts at 3pm on the vacant lot behind the Fairhope Public Library, corner of Bancroft and Magnolia.

One of the most common questions is how to save money on produce. Farmers Markets are the perfect place for getting a great deal on fresh home grown produce for your family. Participating in your local farmers market, not only will you get great deals on fresh produce but you will be helping your local farmers.

Our Second Thoughts on Cable

| October 7, 2010

If you have been reading Frugal Fairhope for a while you know that we have not had cable for 6 years or more. Has it been that long? Wow with a $40 cable bill that is $480 a year and over $2,800 savings!

We found this offer in our in box this morning and this does give us a second thought on buying cable. This is a fantastic deal from DirectTV! Digging into this if you already have DirectTV you can still get a upgrade deal, you just have to be willing to pay for cable for the next 2 years. If you can’t commit to 2 years they do have a one year plan for $29.99 + Free HD.

Lock in your savings for 2 years and save $500! Plus get free HD and 3 months of Showtime and Starz for Free!
