Coupon info

So normally I buy 2 newspapers( NP) a week! That way double the coupons! I just cut what I need and let the girls at work get what they need and keep the leftovers. On any given sunday there can be 1-4 inserts in the NP. The very first of the month Proctor & Gamble ( P& G) put in their insert! Worth every penny to have those!!!  Anyways I just watch the deals each week. I normally shop at Walmart, Walgreens, Rite Aid & Target. But where we live its not easy to go to each every week so I try to watch really good sales! 

On to Blogs & Websites.  I read many blogs and get a lot of emails a day! I also sign up to Nuk, Johnson & Johnson to get coupons for there products! I also keep pampers & huggies coupons. I have baby showers constantly! I keep stock!

Anyways here are some of the blogs that wil send out emails and tell you whats good buys and where to shop! I will let you know know some are very repetitive and some are stores we don't even have in our state!

Coupons.com is a good website to get coupons! They change each month and add new ones almost daily and send you emails when the new ones do arrive!

mama cheaps,    crazy coupon lady,   the krazy coupon lady, tiffany-my litter,   raining hot coupons,   the wizard,   saving with amy,   freebies2deals,   southern savers,   the frugal girls,   cuckooforcoupondeals,  freebies 4 mom, cellfire, coupon connection, coupon mom smart source & redplum ( theses last two RP & SS) are the ones most in the newspapers.
faithful provisions  & I heart Publix

I usually get around 20 emails+ a day but they are worth it sometimes!

Target.com has some really good coupons too!!

Most of the blogs will make a run down of who has the better deals and where to buy it!! It helps!

Also just check where stores double coupons. I know on Saturday Freds doubles up to .70 an item. But walmart will take two different coupons for the same thing. Say I have a printed coupon & a NP coupon, You can usually use both! Sometimes you just have to be tricky! ( this does not work at freds, only one coupon per item) Also Walgreens policy if you have 4 coupons you have to have 4 items. The amount of coupons you have to match the amount of products!

Oh and there are paper coupons to print off everywhere so don't hesitate to use those! It helps in the long run!

Extreme Cuponing- My new Obsession

My newest addiction has been couponing! If you have watched the show on TLC, I AM NOT THAT EXTREME! I feel it is unneccesary to own 52 bottles of mustard or 63 bottles of purex laundry detergent!  I do however have several body wash, deo,shampoo, toothpaste and razors for J & myself. I feel you can probably have too many of those but they dont expire for a while and if they are lil to nothing to buy go for it!!! I have also started a smallstack of diapers and wipes! All my friends are popping out kids so why not have gifts in stock! Food couponing is a lil harder, but I am slowly getting into a groove. I recently bought numerous boxes of pasta for UNDER $3.00, I think. Kroger receipts give me a bit of a headache. I got 13 boxes for under $5 to almost free I think. I forgot to take a pic.

I like to make multi holiday items! :)

Easter/Spring Decor

I love recreating things I have prevously viewed in magazines!

Example One..

I saw this in a mag. its my Large Easter Tree. One of the neatest things is the tray the tree is sitting on is a cheese tray sans dome of J's Grandmothers, Mrs Betty. We moved into his granparents home after they passed and were handed down a bunch of Goodies!!! I like to take old things to work with to make them more modern!

The Mini Egg Tree. These two are side by side on the Computer Desk.

Another recreation! I saw this on a blog! Its decopodge eggs on grass under a cheese dome! Another one of Mrs. Bettys cool trays

My Table Scape (sp)

I got this lil treasure on a blog too! The grass squares are from Hobby Lobby! I got them 50% off! YAY then I monogrammed and Egg for each of us. J & D

Also the crocheted eggs in the bowl are from My grandmother. Jen & I loved these as kids and was so excited she passed them down to me.

and finally.....

My Jute & Khaki Wreath

( It was suppose to be burlap, but silly me bought khaki!)

Anyways, I made the felt flowers and added a couple more last night.. I like it because I can change the flowers and wreath for any season! Next I think I will make Red White & Blue flowers for  Memorial Day, 4th of July, & Labor Day! Thats a very versatile wreath!! I just attach everything with straight pins so they can be changed whenever.....

 

I also helped my cousin Amelia make a Peace wreath!

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS....

Granted it is not Football Season, but this show is filling the void!!!



Since FNL Season 5 is starting on NBC friday nights. I decided it was time to catch up on Season 3 & 4. So last night I signed up for a free trial of Netflix to watch those two seasons! I am pretty pumped! Since J is on evenings this is the perfect week to watch it & catch up.
