What A Deal!!

I know I have been posting deals lately, but with back to school in action and hungry bodies after school, every bit helps. So I started taking advantage of the coupon world and this is what I accomplished lately:

This TOTAL bill (from Fry's) came to: $.78 !!!! Yea!! :) I didn't even have a coupon for the cones ($1.00), I would've gotten paid $.22 !! Crazy!!


It was fun shopping today (4 stores); all in all, I got $187 in groceries and only paid $28 today.

ITEMS INCLUDE (w/ coupons):

10 BOXES OF MALT O MEAL CEREALS= FREE
3 CASES OF TAVA SPARLING DRINK (like fruit soda) = .50
Bic MECHNICAL PENCILS (8 PACKS)=FREE
FARMLAND SAUSAGE (6-1LBS PACKAGES) = FREE
HUNTS 4PK PUDDING (4 PACKAGES) = 1.20

Total= $1.70

WITHOUT COUPONS WERE:

BOTTLE WATER
DIAPER RASH OINTMENT
HOTDOGS
ICE CREAM CONES
OTHER CEREAL


I am thankful that I have 4 major stores by me so my route was a nice small circle and allowed me to take advantage of all of my coupons.
I was so amazed!!

I would love to hear your deals! :)

Over half the year is GONE!

I looked back at my January posts and realized that I haven't hit my goals yet! : (

I still have time!

1. I want to go to the Temple more than I have! :0
   


2. I want to get back into shape! :)




3. I want to reach our next financial goal! :)



4. I want my family year supply complete! :)

Well, that is just to name a few. I am however, very thankful for my many many blessings!

I have wonderful friends, family, and testimony of the true gospel.

I find all these things important in my life. I need the Temple to be enriched with the blessings Heavenly Father has for me and my Family. I need to be in shape, healthy, and strong for what may come my way physically. I need financial growth to prepare for daily living, missions, retirement, charities, and other services. I need year supply to be prepared for trying moments, spiritual strengnth, and @ times to help others. I need my testimony, church, savior, family, and friends to learn from and grow together. To live and prosper how our Father in Heaven has asked us to do so. I love life and the happiness it brings!

Just my thoughts, thought I'd share.

Poor Piggy, How's your piggy bank after gas $

Grocery Savings!

http://azdealsbyallison.blogspot.com/

We are all trying to save money in areas we can. I found this Blog site and really enjoy Allison's great efforts in sharing this information with others. And it's FREE! :)

Another idea is going on the SRP's time wise energy plan. I just enrolled, so I will update you next month when I recieve my bill if it is worth it. Don't forget that the grocery stores give you coupns to their gas pumps if you spend 'X' amount of dollars. I think Albertson's gives the best savings as far as that goes. But, then again, Fry's is usually cheaper in groceries. Just learn to play the game! :) What ever works best for you.

Happy Birthday MOM!!

Do you think "TOO" much?

I catch myself thinking about little projects that lead into big ideas that lead into different subjects that throw me way of course of what I started thinking about... are you with me? Like going to the store for one thing and coming out with a cart full!! I am guilty of that "BIG" time!
Well, I caught myself thinking like that today and decided to just get out of the house with the kids. We went to Long John Silver's for lunch (I forgot how greasy that place is), then we went to Toys R' Us and bought some fun family games.... including checkers, and we went home and played games for 3 hours and swam for an hour. We had such a fun filled quality time day!!
We ended the evening going over to my moms and hanging out while I permed her hair.(Yes , perms still exists.) :0)

So, if you think "TOO" much, get out and get busy!!! LOL
