Couponing

I have been wanting to coupon for quite awhile. I have tried a few times and got a few good deals but it's time to really start trying to get more things for free. 




I'm going to start by researching online different styles of couponing. I really hate the cutting out and sorting thing so I'm thinking I'm going to save by date but I need to learn more about it.


I am also going to try and find people that get the newspaper but don't use coupons that I can get extra coupons for. I also know that there are coupon inserts at the stores in the free paper stacks so I'm going to start looking for those. I also heard that if you talk to your newspaper delivery person you can get any extra coupons that they don't put in the newspapers so now just to figure out how to talk to that person.


I'm really excited to get this all started and going so I can start saving my family more money. We haven't quite figured out where we will put our stock pile of items as our house doesn't have the room and we share a garage with the neighbor but I think we will just start and then figure it out. My idea for now is to use space at my parents house and tell them that if they help me get the coupons and let us use the space they can use whatever is in our stock pile room. We will see what happens. 


Not sure how soon I will have updates on how this is going but I'm going to try and spend time this week getting things started. Since I have tried before I have some idea of what I need to do and I already have the binders I need, although I'm probably going to change the way I store my coupons. 


As I learn and figure this all out I will share what I'm doing! I'm so excited to get started! If anyone has tips you would like to share or links to other blogs or websites that are helpful I would love to have you share them.


Thanks!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
