Over the last year in our new house, it felt like everytime we turned around, we were spending money on something for it. I mean, I guess shutters come in handy so that people don't see me streak naked from the shower to my dresser for my unmentionables. And Scootie hates when I put him in a sweater so I guess we need heat for his fatty 5 lb. frame.
So, one of our goals this year is to save more money and start living on one income. (My closet just burst into tears.) So...I kinda started...clipping...coupons. GASP. I know...I CLIP COUPONS. A couple friends in my neighborhood and I decided to try, and I'm pleased to inform you that I'm going to be on Extreme Coupons on TLC sometime this fall.
Right...I'm not that crazy. BUT I do subscribe to the newspaper now (3 copies of the Sunday Daily Herald), check my coupon website, only buy things I normally would but only when they're on sale, and only shop on Tuesdays because that's the day Walmart will double the value of your coupons. They also price match any store any day of the week. While Walmart was never my preferred grocer, we've since converted and figure it's all the same anyway. (I feel like a Mormon Mommy blogger when I re-read this paragraph. Next up, knitting? Nay.)
Larren and I always grocery shop together (cute), and the first trip was interesting. He was, needless to say, really embarrassed and acting like he didn't know me until we paid $20 for $55 worth of food. Now if I could just get the ____ paper boy to put the newspapers on my porch if it's raining/snowing instead of down the street on my neighbor's roof, that would be fantastical.
