My website is based on the 80/20 rule. It is often referred to as the Pareto Principle. The rule states that a majority (80%) of results will come from few (20%)actions. That is, there is the vital few and the trivial many. For example, did you know? * You wear the same clothes 80% of the time. * A few bills make up 80% of your expense. * You call the same people 80% of the time. My website 9010LIFE, kicks it up a notch, and goes for that extra 10%.

Purchasing coupons and stock piling what you really want
I used to clip the Sunday coupons, and file them religiously. I spent a lot of time on an activity I did not particularly enjoy. I came to a realization that my biggest savings came when I stockpiled the items we used at rock bottom prices. Now, I don’t even buy the Sunday paper, and use a coupon clipping service for my needed items. I am not tempted to buy items I don’t want, but get great prices for the things I really need. Sure, I don’t save 50 cents on every item in my cart, but stock piling items I use, more than makes up for it. I spend between $5-$10/month on coupon clipping service. I used to spend $8 on the Sunday paper. Recently, I ordered (20) $1 off Quaker oatmeal coupons for $2.50 shipped. I will get 20 boxes for free this week after double coupons.
