yeah… it took me 3 trips into Kroger to get it all because my buggy literally would NOT hold it! I think the boy who was checking me out was thinking… who on EARTH is she buying this for?!!!

I still have to go to Meijer and burn up my expiring Register Rewards from the WAGS Meter deal and to Target for their weekly freebies! Ugh more shopping… I mean YAY!!!!!!!

I truly have to say that I feel that coupons are SUCH a blessing to us. I have saved an unbelievable amount of money since I started “couponing” and with us trying to become debt free it really is going a long way. I cannot imagine walking into a store now without coupons. I cannot imagine paying $7 for RAZORS like I used to. That is $7 that I will gladly spend on my paying down debt and on teaching my kids how to be THRIFTY and SAVE money!

I am also truly blessed to have so many great blog readers who send us coupons every week! It just makes my day to open the mailbox and see those envelopes! When our mail comes stuffed full of bills and medical notices those are like little pieces of mail chocolate! LOL

A few weeks ago I got an ENVELOPE… it was huge and heavy and I thought… hmmm… I opened it to find a STACK of full inserts from the Sunday paper! One of my clients’ Engagement pics had run that week so they had purchased extra papers and I was the beneficiary of the coupons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cried. Literally. Thanks Alex for making me cry! I have the BEST clients/friends in the WORLD!
