Coupon Crazy

Like I have nothing else to day everyday I decided to take on couponing with a vengeance. I was really tired of hearing people getting items for free or almost. I started following this lady doing a online class about it and how to get organized and to really put your time to use for cutting them out. After following and finally understanding several websites, this is easy and very, very worth it. It can be work or it can be fun.

I have limited myself to grocery stores and especially the ones that double coupons. I don't do the drugstores, there is some really intense thinking and math to go on there and quit frankly I think I'm ADD with that, can't make myself concentrate to learn it, so why pressure myself. Although I will say if you don't have ADD over it, they are a wealth of savings. Too many have loyalty cards and there programs are all different and I don't have enough brain room left to store it all!! So that's been my project of lately and it's turning into a really awesome thing.

FYI: All you Giant Eagle shoppers (mother this is really for you and I want to know that you did this) this week if you buy Kraft BarBQue sauce 10/$10, and use your coupons they are free or for all you that didn't clip your coupons!!, you can print them out at Kraft.com, anyway, if you buy 4 get $2(printed out register coupon on your next order( OYNO). Buy 5 get $2.50 and 6 $3.00.........also Kraft Mac&Cheese (can also be printed out on Kraft.com) buy 4 get$1, 5 $1.50, 6 $2.00, they were on sale for $1 a box and may still be. These coupons will all print out at the register and for your next order (OYNO, there's some coupon lingo for ya).If you would like you could do two or more transactions and use those that same day............There you go, advice for the weekend and save yourself some money!!!

There is also a magazine that only Walmart sells called AllYou, you need this mag.!!

Off to my children.......Olivia is 7 going on 13, please anyone help, none of my "so called" friends every warned me about this and should have! LOL I think it's PMS and two of us in the same house are not working out, so she'll have to go! Just kidding, really! I hope to tame this monster over the summer, I obviously blame it on school and therefore can't wait for it to be over! Doesn't everybody blame bad habits on school! Love her to death, but can't wait until she has kids of her own and will love me more for seeing what I have dealt with. I mean really, I have a whole new meaning for my mother and now I know why she went back to work when she did!! LOL

Logan, well if he's not hiding stuff in other drawers, throwing magnets across the kitchen, falling off the couch, then he must be sleeping. I have found my spices in the drawers and other places, his cup in the computer desk, his long lost blanket in his sock drawer. Well at least he's putting stuff away, right? He tells me "no" all the time now and runs when you want to change his diaper or clothes and laughs about it. He has also learned to arch his back when you put him in the car seat taking much more time to get him clipped in. It's wonderful! Apparently me and Rich didn't learn with one child, we had another!!

Everyone have a great weekend and we will see you next week!!
