Ready for the Deals????

Hi everyone, took some time off for much needed family time :) and organized my stockpile!  I was becoming overwhelmed with toothpaste!! Couponing the way we do takes alot of effort and concentration.  2 things I needed to use else where!

 Anyway I'm back this week! Hope you all had a great holiday! 

Couponing at times can become your life especially when you are just beginning and are excited for all of the deals.  It is essential to remember you have to cut out time for family.  That the deals will cycle again, and It is ok If you miss them!!  I have not shopped in 2 weeks. which is a good and a bad feeling I miss my cashiers!!  And the feeling I get when I leave paying ZERO! 

 I did just do a major trip to walmart yesterday and blew the budget $214.75... OUCH!!  That is what not using coupons does to you! But I picked up alot of things that do not have coupons.  So budget is blown for April by over $100.00!!  I set the bar high for myself with the grocery budget and I am not upset by going over.  I'm excited to use the grill and eat these Nathans Hot dogs ($11.98!!!!) and yes I did drop $6.50 on a jar of Hellman's.. I'm so angry I didn't buy it at ACME 2 weeks ago!! 

I will get the ad scans posted soon for next week!!
