Write an article based on this "Wait for a good sale. Organize your coupons. Write or print out a list of your current coupons. Purchase multiple items. Stack your coupons. Order items that are sold out. Go during off-peak hours. Leave your kids at home. Be open to various brands. Know the store's policy and have a copy of it with you. Use appropriate coupon etiquette."
article: One good idea is to use a website like The Grocery Game. This site will list the sales flyers for your favorite stores. When you see an item in the flyer, and you know you have a coupon for that item, then it's time to save yourself some money. Otherwise, you can do the research yourself. Try 1 of these methods:  Use baseball cardholders inside a 3-ring binder to make your coupons easy to reach. Then, use divider tabs to split your coupons into sections by product, by store or by another method that makes sense to you. Use an alphabetically organized accordion file. Place your coupons in order by product name. Sort through each pocket weekly and put soon-to-expire coupons at the front of the pocket so you don't forget to use them. If you can't be bothered cutting out the coupons to insert into separate card slots in a binder, simply hole punch the page and attach a pair of small scissors (such as a child's safety pair) by a string to the binder. That way, you can cut out the coupon as you find the product. You can do this on an Excel spreadsheet.  As you walk around, you can place the relevant coupon into a small envelope sitting in your bag or in the cart, in readiness to hand over all coupons for items you found to the cashier. As you use coupons, mark them off your list with a pen or pencil. When you get home, delete them from your spreadsheet. If your store is selling cereal in a "Buy 2, Get the 3rd Free" promotion, and you have a coupon for the same cereal, then get as much cereal as you can under the terms of the deal.  Watch the language on the sale flyer to make sure the store has a reasonable limit on the amount of items that you can buy under the promotion. Avoid buying perishable items in bulk. For example, don't stockpile dairy or produce. At home, shop from your stash. If you don't know what to cook for dinner, then choose an item from your bulk purchases to avoid ordering takeout or running to the store for something you can live without. If you have manufacturer's coupons and store coupons, then combine them to get even more money off your purchase. If your store will let you place a bulk order for the items listed on your coupon, then don't be afraid to ask. Extreme coupon transactions take time, and other customers will feel impatient if you hold up the line with your coupons. Also, cashiers can become frustrated with many coupons because of not only transaction length but also confusion about store policies. You need to go at a time the store isn't too busy to minimize conflict. Extreme coupon transactions require clear communication. If your children are running wild or trying to talk to you while you're interacting with the cashier, then you won't be able to concentrate on what you're doing. Find a babysitter for your early extreme coupon adventures. You may have to go with a brand that isn't your tried and true choice to get a deal. As long as the difference in taste and quality is negligible, the savings will be worth it. This is simply a safeguard against cashiers who aren't aware of store policies themselves and don't really want to have to deal with your extreme coupling.  It is far easier to say "we don't accept that" than to go to the effort of ringing it all through, so be prepared to politely but firmly clarify the appropriateness of your coupon actions by pointing out the store policy. You will often find the policy online; if not, ask the store manager for a copy. Stick to these good practices:  Be considerate to your cashier and to the people lined up behind you. Never photocopy coupons. Some stores will no longer accept coupons that even appear to be photocopied. Avoid hoarding. Items usually go on sale on a 6 to 8 week cycle. Stock up on enough to take you through the sales cycle and no more. Don't become a person who stacks cases of toothpaste under your bed. Don't commit fraud. Avoid using coupons for items other than the item printed on the paper. Also, never alter existing coupons or print off counterfeits.

article: Research vegetables that grow successfully in your area. Your location is one of the largest factors in whether you will successfully grow vegetables. You need to do a bit of research about your region and only decide on vegetables that are compatible with the climate where you live. Looking up the United States Department of Agriculture’s growing zones can give you a start in learning about what plants grow well in your area.  Start out small. You may want to plant a ton of different vegetables but if you are just starting out gardening you should really focus your energy on just a few. Growing vegetables can be more of a time commitment than people expect, so begin gradually so you don't get overwhelmed. Once you are an experienced gardener, you may be able to replicate the climate of other regions in order to grow any vegetables you like. However, when you are just starting out, planting vegetables that are difficult to grow in your region will most likely just be frustrating and unfruitful. In general, choose a spot to plant your vegetables where sun shines at least 6 hours a day. This amount of sun is considered "full sun." If you want to plant a vegetable that does not require full sun all day, then you will need to locate an area of your yard that gets a significant amount of shade. You do not necessarily have to plant vegetables directly in the ground. Planting veggies in pots can be very successful for a wide variety of plants and it does not require a lot of space. There are benefits to container gardening, for instance you can easily move the plants to a new location if they are not happy where you initially place them and the soil in the pot usually develops fewer weeds. On the downside, however, plants in containers usually need to be watered more often and are more vulnerable to cold and hot temperatures, as a pot changes temperature much more easily than the ground. Seeds will generally need to start earlier but may have to be started inside, to protect them from frost. Vegetable starts, young plants that have been grown from seed in a greenhouse by a professional, will cost you significantly more to buy, but they will establish easier and can be planted later in the growing season.  Some plants are difficult to grow from seed. Plants with long germination periods, such as cilantro, can be difficult for home gardeners to cultivate. Consider investing in the added cost of vegetable starts for plants such as this. Many plants, including lettuce, are actually easier to grow from seed. This is especially the case for plants, such as carrots, that don't do well with being transplanted. For plants like this, it makes sense to sew the seeds directly into the ground or in biodegradable seed starting pots that can go right into the ground once the plant sprouts. Part of deciding when to plant your veggies will be dictated by whether you are planting seeds or starts. In addition, different vegetables need to be planted at different times of the year. There are many vegetables that thrive in the summer sun, but you can also grow a surprising amount of vegetables over the winter months, depending on your location.

Avoid wavering and appearing indecisive, which can confuse the other person. If you're firm when you turn them down the first time, you probably won’t have to have the conversation twice.  An ambiguous reaction from you could make the person feel like they still have a chance, which wastes their time and isn’t fair to them. It also increases the likelihood that you’ll need to repeat this awkward conversation with them in the future. Approach them with a smile and keep your demeanor as calm and relaxed as possible. Use positive body language, such as sitting or standing up straight and looking the other person directly in the eye, to convey that you are serious. Negative body language, like slumping or not looking them in the eye, indicates a lack of confidence in your own words. If you truly aren’t interested in dating this person, make that fact clear. Statements like “I’m too busy with work right now” or “I just got out of a long term relationship” may seem like kind responses, but to the other person this could sound more like, “Ask me again in a few weeks.” Avoid making it sound like there is a possibility for a future date, especially if you know there isn’t. Don’t continue to stay in contact with a person that you have zero plans to ever actually date. Sometimes it can feel good being around someone who you know really likes you, but unless you are serious about returning the sentiment, you are simply feeding your own ego by doing it.  Don’t re-initiate communication unless you’re really interested. It can be tempting to reach out to someone who you’ve turned down in the past, especially if you are going through a rough patch yourself. Unless you are truly interested in the person, there is no need to call, text, or even be Facebook friends with them. The infamous drunk dial (or text) is a common way people end up re-initiating contact. A momentary lapse of judgement on your end can cause a lot of confusion and despair for someone else. You’ll also be putting yourself in the position to have to reject them again. Do you really want to be friends, or are you just trying to spare the other person’s feelings by saying so? If it’s the latter, just don’t say it.  If you truly do want to remain friends, give the person some space after you reject them. Give them a chance to get past their bruised ego and embarrassment. It’s possible that the other person may not feel capable of being friends because of their romantic feelings for you. If that’s the case, you will have to respect that.
