We are addicted to paper towels. In fact I just bought a 16 pack! There has to be a better thing to use.

Todays free sample is Clawth Reusable Sponges. I was happy to see this item being given away for free as I’ve seen products like this. I’ve been wanting to try these. They are reusable disposable Estracell sponge cloths that can replace your ordinary cotton cloths.

Cleaning supplies are easy to find savings on. There is plenty from in-store coupons available to a variety of cleaning supply coupon codes. Peapod is an online grocery store that offer deals on groceries and cleaning supplies.

In our family of 4, we go through laundry detergent more than I would like. A decent size detergent bottle runs for $10+. Why not load up on a couple of free samples? My drawer is full of them.

Todays free sample is the new Ultra Tide Detergent from Costco. With the new Ultra Tide you use less detergent on loads. So basically it’s a quarter of a cap instead of a big amount of it. Less is more! This freebie is available for US and Canada. Expect shipment in about 4-6 weeks.

Looking at our coupon codes for detergents, Diapers.com popped up. They have the regular baby supplies like baby diapers, food and wipes. Not only that they have baby detergent! Now you can use our printable grocery coupons to save money on household items like detergent and cleaning supplies.

Thanksgiving is a wonderful day to spend with friends and loved ones and eat good food. However, for many people, it is also a day to worry about how much food costs and how long it will take to prepare it. We here at Deal Locker believe that Thanksgiving should not be a time to worry about money, so we offer you some suggestions to save on your Thanksgiving dinner and enjoy time with your friends and family.

1. Buy a larger turkey. OK, I know that doesn’t sound like you’d be saving money… until you find out that butchers at most grocery stores will cut the turkey in half for you. Yes, even if it is frozen. The larger turkeys are usually cheaper per pound, so you can save money by either sharing the turkey (conveniently cut into two halves) with a friend or relative, or saving the other half for Christmas or New Year’s.
2. Make your own pies. Homemade pumpkin pies are much cheaper than store-bought ones, and usually taste a lot better. Even if you don’t want to make the pie crust, you can still make pies - just buy the frozen pie crust. Frozen pie crusts are usually on sale right before Thanksgiving - just don’t wait until the last minute or there might not be any left!
3. Don’t make so many side dishes. Unless you are entertaining large group, many of the side dishes hardly get touched, because everyone is concentrating on the turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. Then they want to save room for dessert! A few side dishes are nice, but don’t prepare too many.
4. Shop early. The non-perishable food can be bought as early as you want. The rest of the groceries should be bought before the day before Thanksgiving, when everyone is at the store and the sale food is all gone.
5. Get organized! Don’t assume that you’ll remember what you need at the grocery store. Many times, that leads to buying way too much food because you just want to “make sure.” Instead, look at your recipes and make a list of exactly what you need.
6. Get coupons! In the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, newspapers will come with tons of Thanksgiving-related coupons. Or you can check your local store for coupons online. Use the ones that you need, but don’t be tricked into buying things you don’t need because you can save on them. You’re not saving money if you don’t need it!
7. Delegate. Guests who aren’t traveling from too far away usually like to bring something to contribute. Ask them to bring something specific, leaving you with one less thing to plan, buy, and cook. This will also cut down on doubles of side dishes and desserts.
8. Don’t worry about decor. Surprisingly, one of the biggest expenses at Thanksgiving is all the money spent on decorations. A few fall leaves and some pine cones can make a great centerpiece, or candles surrounded by leaves. Don’t spend tons of money on Thanksgiving-themed decorations if you are trying to save money. People are much more likely to remember the food and the company than what your table looked like!

Enjoy your savings and your Thanksgiving dinner! Be sure to rest up for Black Friday the next day!
