Call 527-2151 Victories: The best things in life are free Q: "I have to confess, I was never a coupon shopper. I have been reading your column for months and marveling at your stories of saving. I finally decided about three months ago to really try to do this. I got your Super-Couponing class DVD and started saving all of my coupon newspaper inserts. Since that time I have to say I am amazed. You have made it so easy to save. I never thought about good and bad times to buy things at the store and I am dri- ving my husband crazy with all the free products I am bringing home. Just this week I got a bottle of body wash that was $3.99. With a $4 coupon, it was free! Would you share some of the things you never pay for?" A: The best things in life are free – and if you’re a good coupon shopper, you’ll bring home lots of them! The key is waiting to use your coupons at the "right" time. The regular price on that body wash was probably $5.49. While your $4 coupon would have gotten you an okay deal on it, free is a much better price. When I first became a coupon shopper, I was thrilled when I saw dish soap on sale for $1.50. I had two $1 coupons and brought them home for 50 cents each. A few weeks later, the dish soap went on sale again… for $1 a bottle. I mentally kicked myself a little when I realized that I Police reports The following informa- tion is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff’s Department, Corning Police Department and California Highway Patrol.

I quickly learned that for every OK deal, a great deal is often right around the corner. What kind of products should one never pay for? Personal care products lead the list. National drugstore chains routinely offer sales on these products, and a smart shopper can pick them up for free after coupons and instant-sav- ings or Catalina deals. While I don’t chase deals or routinely shop several stores in a given week, I always visit one drugstore in addition to a supermar- ket, because I don’t want to miss out on any great pharmacy sales. microwave popcorn, mouthwash, over-the-counter cold and pain med- ications, pet food, pet treats, pow- dered drink mixes, razors, salad dressing, scented can- dles, shampoo, shaving gel, soup, sunscreen, toaster pastries, toothbrushes, toothpaste, vitamins, yogurt.

Q: "Jill, is there anything you won’t buy? After Super- Couponing for a while I have to imagine you have more free toothpaste than you can use. I know I do!" A: Yes, there are quite a few tubes of toothpaste at my house. But my big family also goes through quite a bit of it. My rule of thumb is this: if it’s free with a coupon, no mat- ter what it is, it comes home with me! If it’s not something my household needs I pass it on to our local food pantry. Jill Cataldo, a coupon workshop instructor, writer and mother of three, never passes up a good deal.

Crashes • A 21-year-old Cotton- wood woman hit a barbed wire fence and a PG&E guywire after swerving to avoid a collision at 8:15 a.m. Wednesday. Vanessa Jordan was driving east on Bowman Road, east of Plateau Drive, about 55 mph and Sabina Crosslin, 52, of Cottonwood was going north on Plateau Drive and had stopped at a stop sign. Crosslin began to make a left turn directly into Jordan’s path.

The girl, who is an unlicensed driver, was driving north on Wilcox at a high rate of speed when for unknown reasons she allowed the vehicle to drift off the east roadway edge. The girl tried to turn back to the road and hit the brakes, causing her to lose control of the vehicle, which went west into a dirt field and over- turned. The vehicle slid into a tree, coming to rest on its left side, partially blocking the southbound lane of Wilcox Road. The girl was wearing her seatbelt. • A 17-year-old Los Molinos boy was uninjured following a rollover crash at 7 p.m. Wednesday on Tehama Vina Road, south of Sherman Road in the Los Molinos area.

His vehicle had major rollover damage. Fires • CalFire responded to a freeway fire at 4 p.m. Wednesday on Interstate 5 at Sunset Hills, caused by a blown tire.
