One Man's Trash is Another Man's Treasures

Turn other people's "junk mail" into your "frugal treasures!" Throw on some rubber gloves and dig out those money-saving coupons that others so carelessly dispose of daily. If that doesn't sound appealing, then set a bin outside of your mailbox or community's mailboxes labeled "Junk Mail Recycle Bin" for people to drop their unwanted "junk mail" in... whatever mail doesn't get used can then be recycled. Being frugal can be both easy and green!

OK, but look at the complete picture.

You didn't really save any money with the Clipper Magazine or Smart Source.

Fast food is not healthy for you.

The free bagels wouldn't pay for your gas and the Macy's deal is overpriced. The On The Border deal is pretty good though.

You probably would have been better off buying healthy foods in bulk at a nearby market that has them on sale. But I applaud your attempt at frugality and making your dollars work.
