End of Month and Year

Not only are we at the end of the month, but the end of the year! What an amazing year it has been. I will be doing some posts about resolutions and changes in the new year, but for today, here are a few reminders of end of the month tasks in the coupon world:
1. Now is a good time to go through all your coupons and pull out all the ones that are expired or will expire soon. Many expire at the end of the month and especially the end of the year!
2. The next few days are great for printing coupons. The ones from December might be gone soon, so print all you want today. The first of the month is when many sites release new coupons, so you will want to check them all at the beginning of January to see what new ones they roll out or refresh from last month.
3. Make sure all your Single Check Rebate receipts for Rite Aid are entered so you can request your check.
4. Get all your receipts in order so that you can add up all your spending and saving for month and tweak your budget for next month if need be.
5. Make sure you have ordered all the Swagbucks prizes you wanted. They have limits on how many of each one that you can order in a day or month so if you are stocking up, make sure you ordered all you could for December and then order your limits for January.

Where can I find printable coupons you ask? Here are some of the best places to look:
Coupons.com
RedPlum
SmartSource.com
Coolsavings.com

You might want to double check and make sure that you have loaded all of the cellfire.com and shortcuts.com coupons that you might want to your shopping card as well.
happy 2011
