Moving, Couponing, and Giveaways!

Hello everyone! I haven't posted in a few days. I have been a little busy with packing, wedding planning, and trying to publish a cookbook! ( I will tell you more about that later! )

As I posted on Facebook, my bridesmaid dresses came, but they were the wrong color. I was so sad, they were such a cute style! I have size small, medium, and large if anyone is interested! They are wrap around and very adjustable. I am asking $40. We do have a backup plan, thankfully!



Today, I decided to tackle the stock pile room. The movers will not pack food or liquids, so this room was our responsibility. As I packed each item, it made me remember how much I really do love couponing. In fact, I visited my local Kroger store today to take advantage of the .88 Colgate toothbrushes that I was going to be able to purchase for .08 a piece. As always, they were out of stock, so I was able to get a rain-check for 38 toothbrushes. I will keep you updated on how that goes.

Moral of the story...10 Lowe's boxes full of pasta, cereal, tuna, dish soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, mouthwash, body wash, shampoo and conditioner, razors, shaving cream, feminine products, candy, floss, laundry detergent, and lots more......
Here.


Ah, satisfaction.

Due to my large amount of stock pile items, I am in the process of learning how to do "giveaways" on my blog! Please invite your friends...it will be worth it!

Coupons..and More Coupons!

After a long break, my mom and I are back in the swing of things of couponing. It was SO worth it today. I noticed last week that Kroger would be having a great sale this current week, so I planned accordingly. We really did good today!



- 10 boxes of cereal

-12 bars of Ivory/Safeguard soap

-22 Oral-B Advantage toothbrushes

-10 Softsoap hand wash

-24 Crest toothpastes

-16 Dawn soaps

-2 Right Guard deodorants

Total price...(*drum roll..)

Roughly.. $10.75

Oh, how I love coupons.

I wasn't able to get everything today, so I hope to finish the rest up tomorrow morning. In the past 9 months, my family and I have not had to pay full price for shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap, razors, laundry detergent, fabric softener, cereal, pasta, etc. It has been a huge help to us! I'm so glad I was able to learn this now. Couponing on the road won't be quite as easy, but I can still use the basic principles, and save lots of money along the way!
It's exciting to see what cheap/free things you can score every week!

Enjoy :)
