Grocery coupons found in newspaper inserts have become an important money saving tool for Utah consumers. Many Utah families are surviving these tough economic times because of increased coupon use. In August, Utah consumers will lose half of these coupons when Red Plum coupon insert distribution is discontinued in the Utah market. Valassis Communications, publisher of the Red Plum coupon insert, has opted to distribute the coupons by mail. The problem for Utah consumers is that the direct mailing will be in targeted areas only. There are many coupon users who do not live in these targeted areas and will not be receiving the coupons. These mailings will also be limited to one insert per household. Many coupon shoppers currently purchase more than one Sunday newspaper to obtain more than one copy of the money saving coupon inserts. This provides Utah consumers with increased purchasing power and an effective way to combat the economic stress.

I guess by now it’s no secret that I adore frugal digital scrapbooking and love collecting gorgeous freebies from the web. This one blew my socks off to such an extent that I thought it deserved blog space.

Now through the rest of the month, Divine Digital is giving away kits and mini-kits in a Bella Rustica theme. Each freebie is only available for a day, so if you like what you see above, go get today’s freebie now. Make sure you bookmark the page to return each day ’til the end of July to collect other elements in this drop-dead gorgeous theme.

Another great deal that you might consider if you’re just starting digital scrapbooking is Royanna Fritschmann’s Buy My Store sale. (Fritschmann is the designer whose work you see featured in this post.) For 25.00, you get a three-time use coupon code which will make every Fritschmann product in your basket free. Essentially, you can buy and download her four-thousand dollar inventory of kits, overlays, edges, textures, mats, wraps, etc. for twenty-five bucks. I loved this deal.
