So over the weekend I had to make a double trip to Publix. The second trip was because I’d completely run out of milk and oj. Instead of running into the store to get just those two things and spend oh around 6 bucks I decided to put together a trip large enough to use a 5/25 purchase.
This is how well I did:
Instead of spending $6 on two things, I spent $6 on several things!
Learn how to make your money work for you and not the other way around.
Later on, I will post the breakdown of both trips to publix and my trip to CVS. All in all I spent $18 this weekend on around $200 worth of groceries/household things.
Now that I’ve complained I want to give out an awesome shout out…..
I had to wait until I came back from Christmas to get my gift from my friend but I am so excited about it that I leave it on my kitchen counter at all times…..
The Pioneer Woman cookbook! I was ecstatic.
Thanks Michelle your the best friend ever!

I’m sorry that the first post of the day on a Friday is a complaint but I can’t hold it in much longer. To save you some boring details, I will give you the semi-short version.
Right now my family is on an intense budget and I feel like one of the fortunate ones that knows how to coupon to save money but BUT I am completely annoyed that I live in a county amongst other couponers who find it necessary to buy every single item on the shelf of every deal I need right now!
I love my fellow couponers but I really get annoyed when they tend to loose respect for the rest of us out there that only buy enough to stock pile for a few months ~~ not a few years!!
Ok, I am done complaining after I say this. If you use coupons, the next time you are at the store will you please leave a few items on the shelf for those of us that might need that item in a time of need.
Thank you and good day :0)!
Well its been a long few weeks but I think I’m coming back around and getting back in the swing of things. Anytime I’m off for a while, it takes a few weeks to get going again.
We spent two weeks at home for Christmas along with my hubby recovering from surgery so it’s been a while since I’ve posted. I missed it and I missed shopping.
I always wonder how many people truly read my blog on a daily basis so if you are one of them I truly thank you and apologize for the long delay but I’m baaack hehe and will continue on as usual.
I’ve had this weird throat thing going on for about a week now so even though I made a weekly meal plan, I’ve changed it like four times already so I will share a new one starting next week. I also haven’t really gone shopping since we’ve been back so I will begin adding new trips next week too.
I did start something back and that was my weekly food journal. Its harder than I remember lol! But, for you and because of you I’m gonna keep on keeping on and do the best I can. I am doing great so far. I have two days left and 12 points. It helps that I can only eat soups and soft foods though because the good stuff hurts to go down.
