NO COLUMBUS SCHOOLS TODAY

Oh goodie, lol.

__________________________________________________

I keep hearing that you can possibly pick
up a Columbus Dispatch at Dollar Tree.
Don't know as I haven't tried to buy one there.
But that would be cool to be able to pick up
a few more Sunday papers for a buck
to get some extra coupons.

My tip when buying newspapers from stores
is to check to see if the coupon inserts are
in there before purchasing. A lot of times
people are coming up empty handed.

I get asked this a lot, where can I find
printable coupons?

So I have compiled a list of where to find them.

My hint is to check the manufacture's websites.
For example type in your browser:
www.manufacture.com
replacing manufacture with a brand name
you are looking for.
Look under tabs such as:
promotions, offers and coupons

It's almost Spring cleaning time!!

Time to weed out all those unwanted items
and donate them.

I asked H&R Block about how to go about claiming
those donations.
She told me to save all the receipts (you get a
receipt when dropping off items at a thrift store
or when Kidney Foundation does a pick up).

You can also keep records online at:
NETWORK FOR GOOD
It is a Secure website to keep records of donations.

Tithing is also considered to be a donation to a church.
Keep track of those also.

Your total donations to charities — cash and noncash — can equal 50 percent of your adjusted gross income. Anything above that cannot be deducted in the year you donate. However, you can deduct your excess donations on next year’s return. In fact, you can “carry forward” excess contributions for up to four more years beyond the year you donated.

You will need to figure out the value of the items
donated. She said I did not need to keep a list
of all the items just the value amount
with the receipt.

BUT I have read online:

You’ll want to keep meticulous records of all your donations throughout the year. Write down dates, exactly what was donated, what condition the item was in and how much it was valued at the time of donation. Get signatures from the organization that accepted the donation.
You will need to go to these places below
to put a value on your donations. They have
a long list of items and what they feel they
are worth.
