Coupon Queen

I apologize for not posting - life has been crazy busy lately! We spent the weekend in Salina visiting my sister and didn't get home until Sunday afternoon...then I was busy getting ready for another workweek! There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day...plus I am sick with allergies still...I swear this year is the WORST for them! UGH!

Anyhow - I had to post real quick and share my bestest shopping trip yet! I went to Dillons without children tonight and I had it all planned out - I had coupons loaded on my Dillons card from cellfire and proctor and gamble...I had a stack of coupons to go with it, I was set! I filled up the cart, all with things I normally buy, and headed to the checkout.

Now I have to say, the poor girl didn't know what hit her....she rang up all my stuff and then I handed her my Dillons card....ching ching ching - the computer started taking off all of the electronic coupons...then I handed her the stack. Her shoulders slumped and she sighed. LOL I couldn't help but feel sorry for her! She swiped them all and manually put in the prices of the BOGO items and then hit enter - YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to shout out loud! I had spent approx $125 and SAVED, for real SAVED, $94!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was estatic. She looked a little shell shocked. Maybe they aren't used to that? I am sure I am not! Wow - that made all of the planning and thinking ahead of time worth it ---- all of that in a 30 minute child-free (the key-no distractions) grocery trip!

Saving money is fun!!!!!! My favorite website is www.afullcup.com --- that is what got me started on this new adventure. I am forever indebted to the gals that post faithfully on there and teach us newbies the tricks!

More time in the day...

Wow - I am finding it hard to find time to blog lately - things have been crazy busy!!!!! When Lee travels for work it leaves me a single mom to three and I don't seem to get anything done...I need more time in the day as 24 hrs apparently isn't enough!

They look angelic, eh??? Looks can fool you...ha ha!

Mallory turned five on saturday - we went to eat lunch with grandma at the npew Cheeburger Cheeburger place. The highlight was that they got their meal delivered in a car - how cool is that? LOL doesn't take much to excite us!

We are all sick with allergies right now - making life not so fun. Nobody feels good and everybody is whiney and grumpy. A joy, let me tell you! I will post more when I am less sleep deprived - somehow being woken at 2am this morning by Saige throwing up in MY bed has me off kilter! I will try and get back into the groove of things soon...
