GARDENING FREEBIES LIST+DIY LANDSCAPE PLANNING TIPS (TONS OF FREE STUFF FOR GARDENING!)

I've been planning & working to get my yard ready for my favorite time of year! And actually, I still have my Valentines flag hanging...and have lots of leaf raking to do before I can really get things going.

So I needed some insipration! I checked on a few of these great FREE SAMPLES & FREEBIES that I'd gotten last year and made the list below of those that are STILL AVAILABLE!

Now maybe I can get focused, hang my new Spring flag, rake the leaves and begin to sort out the yard into planting areas! My birdfeeders are empty (I'm so sorry birdies!) and I never did put my landscape lights in when we moved here. So, yes, I have lots to do! I guess by writing about it, once again, I'm trying to motivate myself even more! If the sun would just shine 2 days in a row, I think it'd help me out!

If you're wanting to do something in your yard, but need some "Style" inspiration, here are some great starting point FREEBIES:

FREE GARDEN DESIGN SAMPLES These are from Applegate Gardens - you can download High Quality design plans for various gardening styles from country to contemporary to Mediterannean and also 36 FREE Planting Plans that are really great, showcasing 4 design styles for the 3 most common sunlight conditions.

You can also get more FREE BACKYARD PLANS Here Everything from woodworking to retaining walls to outdoor kitchens! LOTS to choose from! Great for ideas:)

I've also been planning to focus my new beds and plants this year to include water features and attract more birds and especially hummingbirds. I just love those tiny beauties!

The Hummingbird Society has some great information to help you know how to attract and keep hummingbirds in your garden.

I'm hoping the sun will shine today and I can get outside to begin the "cleanup" and rejuvenation of spring! I have Daffodils and Iris's that are popping their heads up and in waiting, just as impatiently as I am!

GOODWILL ONLINE DEALS-$2.99 DRYER BALLS+MORE !

OK, so I'm sure you all know by now that one of my favorite things to do is scour yard sales & thrift stores. Though noone ever believes me, I'd guess that about 85% of home decor and other items in my house are my Frugal Fabulous Finds from such trips!

How awesome is it that I realized that GOODWILL has an online store? WOW...I never know! And I managed to find some awesome deals that I had to share!

I've wanted to try DRYER BALLS for a while now! But they are so pricey in stores and even online! How awesome that GOODWILL has the exact same set of 2 Dryer Balls that you see on TV and in stores, but they have them for just $2.99 ! Not only do they reduce the amount of time you spend drying clothes (reducing your power bill!), but they eliminate the need for dryer sheets and fabric softener, NATURALLY, without adding extra chemicals to your laundry !

I also found super cute home decor items like this Pillow for just $3.99! I love Quotes, whether they are on a pillow, picture frame or on the wall! It's a very frugal way to set a mood or make a statement in any room.

And yet another find at Goodwill Online is this Kids Cooking Club Baking Set! You get all of this:

*1 non stick pan
*1 spatula
*1 pastry brush
*1 icing bag with 6 tips
*6 cookie cutters
for just $2.29 !!

There are so many super deals, you just have to VISIT & SEE FOR YOURSELF! I'll definately be frequenting Goodwill Online now as often as I do my local thrift stores & yard sales! Some really super deals for what is apparently a well kept secret! *Not anymore!

How to Better Manage Your Coupons ! My DIY Coupon Organizing Systems - Old & New !

WOW, I can't believe I waited so long to implement my new Coupon Organizing System! So many have you have had struggles with your "Coupon Binders" and other various ways to keep your coupons in one spot and so did I ! You've been asking me this for quite a while now, and I've finally gotten it finished enough to share with you! (Although I've implemented it for the past week and it's gone so smoothly!)

The number one complaint is about printing your coupons and then having a stack of printed pages to pile up that you will need to cut and then put into your binder or whatever system you are using.

Here is a shot at my OLD "coupon binder", which I made from CD holder. The pages held CD's so they were larger than the 9 pocket baseball card style pages. That was a definate improvement, but it still didn't fix my problems with keeping the Q's cut and filed, and readily available without a major hunt.

THE OLD COUPON BINDER MADE WITH A 4 POCKET CD HOLDER


I have made this constant task so much easier! In my new system, I can quickly file any printed page without having to cut or clip, and wait until I'm preparing my shopping list and matching up my coupons before I cut them out! This has saved me a lot of time just in the last week alone! And better than that....I've had NO huge pile of coupons at my printer that I needed to sort and file or clip and cut ! Whew, that helps me out in the "procrastination" department, as I always looked at that pile and told myself I'd do it "later"! Apparently, from your emails and FB posts, so have you!

I have to thank my years of working in offices for this one. It really is a no-brainer. We are on the constant hunt for this perfect coupon filing system, when a "filing system" has existed forever for most everything! As I've mentioned before, if you're serious about saving your family money, you have to view your couponing efforts as a business! And so, naturally, a business "Files" all things that are necessary to do business. If you've ever worked in an office (before major technology and transferring customer files,etc. into a computer database) then you recall the constant locating and grabbing a file for the task at hand.

So let's just get back to basics! Why make it so complicated? And that's what I've done and it is already paying off for me! ( You saw my .47cent and .68cent CVS and RITEAID trips this week! ) I account the ease of organizing this weeks coupon matchups and sales to my new "Frugal Fabulous Filing System" :)

At the moment, it is bare bones! Aside from my color choice of pink files and a black folder for them, there has been no "glamour" added. It is exactly what it needs to be. Sitting right on top of your desk or by your printer, it is always open and only takes a quick glance to see what folder to place the printed paper in. It's a way to quickly file your coupons when you print them, so they don't pile up, and then quickly grab them when you get ready to head to the stores. Only cut them as you need, while you are already organizing your trip & savings! It really is that simple!






One quick tip and explanation!More will follow in a later post:

I've posted before that I have a distinct way of organizing my trips based on the store coupons & matchups I do at home. I'm going to do another full post on that ( I did it once about CVS and RITEAID) But basically, I have all the Q's filed by categories in files. I also have folders for specific stores. I pull the store I'm going to go to, print my list from that stores site/weekly circular, match my coupons to sales and then it all remains in that stores folder. I take that one folder into the store with me that already has my shopping list printed, with my actual pricing info (so no surprises at the register!) and all my coupons! It has been working very well for me! I used to do take my whole binder and before that my "organizer" and I just got too aggrivated hunting through them while in the store. This simplifiles it for me- list, coupons...get what you came for snag your savings and get out, with no extras to hunt through!

Stay tuned and check back soon, as I will be posting in detail all of the "How-to" Suggestions and tips to start your own!

Saturdays Springtime Preparations & LOTS of FREE GARDENING SAMPLES

OK, so even though it just snowed, yet again, this past week, I am still dreaming of Springtime. I mean, it really is March already! North Carolina is having a lengthy and much colder winter this year, but I can't stand it anymore!

So, I'm planning to get my yard ready for the season! And actually, I still have my Valentines flag hanging...the strong winds we've had completely overturned my huge (& heavy!) pot that sits by the front door, which I look at on my way in and out of the house and tell myself I'm coming back out to clean it up, but I haven't yet. Soooo, I've got my work cutout for me!

It's time to hang my new Spring flag, rake the leaves and begin to sort out the yard into planting areas! My birdfeeders are empty (I'm so sorry birdies!) and I never did put my landscape lights in when we moved here back in November last year. So, yes, lots to do! I guess by writing about it, I'm trying to motivate myself even more! If the sun would just shine 2 days in a row, I think it'd help me out!

I've been, as usual, reading up on different projects I want to start in my yard this year.And I found some great resources, so I thought I'd share, of course!

If you're wanting to do something in your yard, but need some "Style" inspiration, here are some great starting points:

FREE GARDEN DESIGN SAMPLES These are from Applegate Gardens where you can download High Quality design plans for various gardening styles from country to contemporary to Mediterannean and also 36 FREE Planting Plans that are really great showcasing 4 design styles for the 3 most common sunlight conditions.
