CVS Coupon Haul...Still at It

I had been slacking in the Couponing world, just no real motivation to clip coupons every Sunday and organize my coupon binder.

After last weeks developing lifestyle change of Homeschooling our oldest due to troubles with her classmates, I sat down and looked at my Coupon binder. Our need to save money is greater than before so I need to jump back in with both feet.

I ran to CVS since they had a great deal of cereal on sale, Richard prefers the Special K cereal which is very pricey at Publix. I had awesome coupons from Kellogs.com that they sent to me. My out-of-pocket for everything pictured was just $18.75..I saved over 64 percent this trip!

Don't overlook the Drugstores for savings on food items!

I'm clipping coupons today and re-organizing my Coupon binder, let's see how long I can keep this up this time. I know the pay-off will be worth it to have our Smiling daughter home with us!

Weekend Recap

Best deal from Papa Johns Pizza ever! 3 large pizzas plus 16 piece wings for $30.00, 2 large pizzas FREE with coupon codes!!

We ate Dinner on Sat. and then Sunday we had Lunch.

 Friday Richard came home from work with a Cold. We believe he got the cold on the plane while traveling for work. He has alot of traveling coming up for work after Thanksgiving so I'm hoping he remembers to take his vitamins now. Friday night we snuggled in and watched "Turbo", it was a very cute kids movie!

Saturday I took Abigail and Tank to Saddle Club, Crystal stayed home with Richard. She didn't have any Birthday parties to help out with. The 2 youngest are learning so much at Saddle Club! The we ordered Pizza and Abigail spent the night with her friend across the street so while Tank played "Mine Craft", the 3 of us watched "FootLoose" and some other really stupid movie.

Here we are Sunday, We haven't done a thing today other than run out for a paper so I can fill up my Coupon binder. Now it's  night and we are heading to bed early, Crystal is now feeling down and Abby is saying she's cold so I believe we have caught Richard's cold..We shall see what tomorrow brings. 

I'm off to sip some hot tea and relax!

I'm Loving COACH!

My old COACH purse

I had the Molly Legacy coach purse for about a year and I really did like it it but after less than a year my purse started to show heavy wear on the bottom corners of the purse, there were no feet on the bottom to give it structure so it slouched. Another problem was the COACH emblem on the front was starting to peel off which I was told was why we don't see this anymore on purses. The handles started to show great signs of wear also. I used the heck out of my purse but even after almost a year it shouldn't have started to show so poorly. I started to save up to replace my purse with another one and knew it would be quite awhile before I could replace with a new one.

Today while walking by the COACH store at The Millenia Mall, simply on a whim Richard and I went inside to see if there was something they could do about my purse, maybe a leather lotion to bring it back to life. Surprise, Surprise..being the semi-hoarder that I am I had my receipt in my purse from about a year ago and because of their policy of Returns within the year of purchase (which I was unaware of) I was able to trade my old purse in and just pay the remaining balance on a new purse. I wanted something with a better structure base and keeping within the Red family inorder to still match my COACH wallet. Here she is, my new Purse!! I LOVE the rose gold accents and so far am Pleased with my Surprise for the day! I did purchase the Leather Lotion to keep this one in better shape.

No, this is not a Sponsored post, I'm just really Happy with their Customer Service tonight!

I Love Free Magazines

See this pile? These all came at once on Tuesday..lol..Good thing I have a big mailbox!

I went thru all my magazines and wrote down the Expiration dates so I can decide if I would like to renew or let a few go, Some are my favs and will def. renew but a few I think I'll let run out as they aren't really to my taste.

What are your Fav. magazines? Have you discovered any new ones? I have seen a few new ones but I haven't picked up or browsed thru them yet, It takes me a few days to read all that I have. I follow Hip2save.com and Coupon saving sites which alert you to free offers.

In this short video I explain more....

Have a Great Day!!!

New Coupon Binder Set Up and Review W/ Video

After about 8 years I was in need of another Coupon Binder, mine was literally falling apart. I dragged Crystal along with me to Staples since I had a Staples coupon and was able to pick this one up. 

Look, it even matches my Day-Planner!

There is a spot to add a Label in the spine and on the top here. I'm not sure how I'll decorate the top yet since I just got it home and organized my coupons inside.

I have put together a more in-depth look inside my Binder here:

Do any of you Coupon or do you just clip one or two here and there?

Canning Jars in the Bathroom

I have seen many people use Canning jars at the kitchen table to hold silverware but with 3 very active young kids, it ain't happening over here...LOL

While thinking one day during a very boring break at work I thought of this use for the 4 Canning jars I have been able to collect so far.. And with some help from Wal-Mart....

I found this canning jar holder on Clearance at my Wal-Mart for less than $10.00! I have just about everything I may need within easy reach.
