DECEMBER 17th 6:00 to 8:00 PM 1-877-71-SANTA (Toll Free) Sponsored by Red Bluff Kiwanis SANTA AT THE CALL NORTH POLE The morning of Saturday, December 18. As the winter storm season contin- ues and wet weather becomes more common, visitors planning OHV trips to the Forest are encouraged to visit the Mendocino National Forest web site at www.fs.usda.gov/mendocino, or to call the Forest Supervisor’s Office at 530-934-3316, Stonyford Work Center at 530-963-1300, or Upper Lake Ranger District at 707- 275-2361, to verify that trails are open before travelling. “We appreciate the public’s under- in front of his residence, one of which he believed to have hit his front door. Theft • A woman reported Wednesday the theft of a video camera from her res- idence in the 900 block of Aloha Street. Logs show standing and cooperation with the temporary OHV trail system clo- sures,” said Forest Supervisor Tom Contreras. “These closures prevent further damage and reduce the risk of longer closures for costly repairs and restoration efforts. Waiting for condi- tions to improve and the trails to dry out helps us continue providing quali- ty recreation areas for OHV riders.” For more information, please con- tact the Mendocino National Forest at 530-934-3316 or visit www.fs.usda.gov/mendocino. the item was later recov- ered.

During the past couple of weeks, I’ve shared some of the ways that expert coupon shoppers plan shopping trips. They only buy an item when its price hits a low point in the store’s 12- week pricing cycle. They use grocery list matchup websites to view a detailed list of what products are cycling low in price during the current week at their stores of choice. And – this one will surprise you – they don’t cut coupons out of the paper. That’s right. Serious coupon clip- pers do not sit down when their coupon inserts arrive in the paper each week, scissors in hand, to clip, snip and sort coupons by product, type and expiration date. Does anyone enjoy cutting and managing hundreds of lit- tle, loose pieces of paper? I may be a coupon maven, but I’ll be the first to tell you that I don’t particularly enjoy cutting out coupons! I prefer to spend as little time clipping as possible. For- tunately, grocery list matchup sites help us do just that. When I teach this method in my Super-Couponing workshops, I call it my "clipless system" of couponing. It’s a little play on words – Super- Couponers literally clip less. The strategy is effective and has proven to be very popular with shoppers. Shop- pers who clip only the coupons they intend to use in the store this week enjoy significant savings with the least possible time commitment. Last week I showed an example of what a grocery list matchup website looks like. (Find a list of popular matchup sites on my website, Super- Couponing.com, by clicking the "Get- ting Started" link.) These matchup sites track the sales cycles at your stores of choice, showing not only items with prices that are hit- ting low points in the sales cycle, but also exactly which coupon to use to cut those prices even fur- ther. This week, let’s look a little closer at an example of a grocery list matchup for two products: Name-brand dish detergent (11 ounces): Sale price: 99 cents Coupon value: $1 – 10/10 PG Final price: FREE! Percent saved: 100 per- cent Jill Cataldo Coupon Queen Name-brand fruit-and- nut trail mix (6 ounces) Sale Price: $1.29 Coupon value: $1 – 6/20 SS Final price: 29 cents Percent saved: 71 percent Now, take a close look at the codes to the right of each dollar value of the coupons in these two examples. These codes show the date that the coupon ran in the newspaper, and a two-letter abbreviation corresponding to the name of the insert. Popular coupon inserts you may find in your weekly newspaper include Procter & Gamble, SmartSource and RedPlum. A matchup site will abbreviate the names to indicate in which coupon insert booklet a shopper will find the coupon. So, my $1 dish detergent coupon can be found in the 10/10 PG, mean- ing the Procter and Gamble insert from October 10. My trail mix coupon can be found in the 6/20 SS, the SmartSource insert from June 20. Instead of clipping all of my coupons each week, I save the entire coupon insert, intact. I begin my weekly shopping trip by consulting a matchup site. I load a shop- ping list for my store of choice, clicking only the products on sale that I wish to buy this week. Then, I print the list and sit down with my collection of coupon inserts. I cut only the coupons that my list calls for. The whole process takes me less than an hour a week. I only cut exactly the coupons I need that week, so I do not waste time or energy cutting out and organizing bunches of coupons. I’m clipping… less! Do you have to be terrifically orga- nized to be an effective coupon clip- per? Not at all. If you save your coupon inserts each week and store them together in a file, you’ll start building a library of coupons to draw on for each week’s shopping trips. Next week, I’ll share some options for organizing your coupon inserts. Jill Cataldo never passes up a good deal. Visit www.jillcataldo.com.

Hospital gears up to go tobacco free in the New Year Catholic Healthcare West North State, which includes St. Elizabeth Community Hospital in Red Bluff, has taken a pledge to promote healthy living on its three campuses by implementing a tobacco-free pol- icy to go into effect Jan. 1, 2011. This means that smoking and the use of any tobacco product will no longer be permitted on campus grounds, including CHW buildings, parking lots and walkways. The policy will apply to everyone, including patients, visitors, medical staff members, employees and volunteers. St. Elizabeth will be offering a smoking cessation class that meets twice a week for an eight-week span, more information will be available as the class is scheduled and confirmed.
