Couponing
So, I have decided to join many of the fabulous moms that I know and start seriously couponing. I have always tried to hang on to the odd coupon I pick up here or there and I consistently pick up the ads for my local grocery store before a shopping trip but I have never really focused on collecting and using them judiciously. But a couple of weeks ago I happened to be standing in line behind a SERIOUS coupon user and watched her save over $50 off of her total. She ended up paying only about $75 for $150 worth of groceries. I tell you, I was inspired.
This kind lady let me chat her up while we were both packing our groceries and she gave me a few tips. One of them was to save my manufacturers coupons for when items are put on clearance...like after the holidays. What great advice! Today I picked up a Glade candle for only $0.33! Originally this would have cost around $4 but because it was a holiday scent Walmart wanted it off of their shelves. They were charging $2.33 for it and I had a manufacturers coupon for $2 off. This "holiday" candle is actually just apple cinnamon in a holder with a snowflake design on it...not a problem for me. Especially when it only cost me $0.33! I am really excited about this new (to me) way to stretch our family's money!

My New Years Resolution
Hey All!
My New Years resolution this year is to put something up here at least 3 times each week. Even if it's just one sentence or one photo...I am aiming low! Love to you all for the new year!
