Been So Busy!!

I was about to write that it has been so busy, but I can't think of what has made it so busy!! lol!! In the middle of my Scentsy catalog party and that is going amazingly! It is seriously selling like hot cakes!! And I am couponing and loving it! Saved $37 dollars this week and only spent $16!! I did get a job. So, that is cool too!! I'm going back to work at the coffee shop that I worked at back when Drew and I first got married. It'll be fun, but hopefully I will get pregnant really soon and won't have to work for too long. I love just being a house wife. Other than that....life just keeps going on! And I love it!!

Grocery Savings!!

One of the things that i love to do as a house wife and help meet to my husband is to find ways to save lots of money on our grocery bill each week. Tonight I went to Publix for the first time grocery shopping and really was impressed with their deals as well as their store! I'll explain the amazing deals I was able to get and then explain how I got them. Tonight my bill total before coupons was $97. After all my coupons I paid $56.08. I had a total savings of $40.92!! That is pretty good!! My power buys were 3 boxes of Betty Crocker boxed potatoes for 20 cents a box, and 2 Yoplait FiberOne yogurts (4 pack) for 25 cents each!! Thats 8 yogurts for a whole 50 cents!!
This afternoon when I was getting ready for my grocery run I went to www.coupons.com, www.redplum.com, www.smartsource.com and used www.southernsavers.com to make my grocery list. At SouthernSavers you can click on the specific store of your choice and see what is on sale at that particular store and make a list to print out that tells you exactly what coupons to pair with each item to get the greatest savings!! It is an amazing tool!! Then I match my coupons to the items I am going to buy and go shopping and when I get to the register I can just watch the savings add up!!! if you have any questions about how to coupon feel free to ask me. I would be glad to help! If ever there was a time to be ever so careful with the money that God gives us it is now! Feel free to email me at livn4Jesus92600@aol.com anytime!

It is a wonderful Easter weekend!! We were able to get the house so totally in order that i finally feel almost settled. And I am falling in love with our house! We were able to install our brand new Samsung front loader washer and dryer yesterday and they work better than I could have imagined!! My dad and Kathy and my sister Katie are here for the weekend and it was so much fun giving them the grand tour (if you have been to our house you know how that goes two ways!). Going to just spend the weekend relaxing and enjoying family!! Wishing all of ya'll a lovely Easter weekend and a glorious Resurrection Sunday!
