Taking a little time off . Had surgery on my hand so just now getting back to my old self. Plenty of deals . I hope everyone is ready for after Christmas sales. Rite aid wellness points start over in January so if you are almost gold make sure to get your purchases in to save your 20% off in the next year. Also make sure Viggle is downloaded onto your phone so you can make watching tv pay off.

It really is crazy. There is a great deal at Walgreens. Glucose meters are $9.99 and with the $10.00 off coupon free plus 5,000 reward points. I see all the couponers that follow being able to use this deal to donate meters for hurricane relief and to clinics in other countries. And I can't even find the coupon booklet in my area. And what is even worse is that I actually need a meter since my

I am so blessed. My daughter was born at 25 weeks and 6 days. She was considered a micropreemie because she weighed 1 lb and 7 oz. At birth . Today she went for her six month health check. I never would have thought I would have had a preemie. She is my world. I love her so much. Having her has made me slow down and appreciate things. I had to resign due to het health issues but I realize it was

So tonight I needed to save a little money. I had brought a California tip roast on special the other day it was $9.00 from $13.00. So I needed to come up with an awesome dinner. I came up with Italian beef sandwiches and fries. I didn't have any Italian dressing so I searched a couple blogs and found one. I made it with Italian seasoning, sugar, celery salt, pepper, apple cider vinegar, and

From other couponers I have learned that you have to determine your stock up price. My stock up price was $5.00 on a product that normally sells for $9.99. I also stocked up on rice that was on clearance for $3.99 and was normally 10.99. I also do not have a lot of things since I am new but I am learning. I follow fellow couponers on Instagram. They have amazing shopping trips. I aspire to be

Make sure you have all the rewards cards at all the places you shop. Like at CVS you earn E.c.bs in products and at rite aid you earn up+ rewards. I have started stockpiling laundry detergent and dishwashing liquid due to these types if rewards. A couple months back rite aid had a sale where if you bought $20 of Gain or Cheer you got $7.00 in up+ rewards. The 33 load bottles were $5.00. I bought

When shopping at Kmart it is important to look at all the receipt type slips the cashier gives you. This important because you could be throwing away money. I once didn't look at them until a couple months ago when I started following different coupon blogs. This week pampers diapers were on sale for $9.99. It just so happened at the beginning of the month I bought a case of diapers and wipes. I

Yesterday I saw on Facebook where a young lady in my area was fired for expressing her views on the presidential election. One thing we need to remember is when we post in social medid we represent our friends, family, schools, churches , social organizations and employers or business. So remember yes we do have freedom of speech but there is a point. In this day it seems people post whatever is

I have one more thing to say. Don't blame one person. Look at yourself first. When you see someone who needs help or you know a friend in a difficult situation. Do you offer to help? No most people will take out their phone and take a picture, write it as a status, or simply ignore it all together. It just needs to get back to old ways. When you held the door open for the person behind you, when

Yes I am saying a lot today. This is my space and I am a little heat today. Also stop laying up with all these no good men. If the don't have a job why go to bed with them. It may sound harsh or cruel but if you met them and the didn't have a job, still live with their parent or coach surfing, and you give them money. Stop sleeping with them and if you do use some protection. You lay down with

I have been on Facebook and other sites and see how people are saying " the lazy azz people are getting four more years of food stamps and welfare that I pay for". I can understand this statement I feel the same way. Why should I pay for someone who doesn't work that has more food in their house than I do, can afford an iPhone, iPad, mac book, and iPad when I can't, has gas in their cars when I

Last night we elected our President to another term. Yes I said OUR. No matter who you voted for we are one Nation under GOD. So let's just stop with the he said this and didn't do this but let's all help one another. It is ridiculous when I think about it. When I was growing up you were afraid to do anything because you didn't want to get caught by your moms friend, your neighbor or church

Today is the last straw. my husband has to upgrade his phone. He took the little baby to surgery as I stayed hoke with the medium babies. I have to they are teenagers and sometimes up to no good. so the hospital calls they are not there. Now I am worried, cause he cant be reached. I am stressed right now. We live an hour away from the hospital so he left early. This stresses me out. He may love

Well counted all the change in my change fund and found $15.00. But we are adding an extra person and dining option. So the new total is $4000. This may change as the year goes on. So total for this week is $30.00. So at this point we need to save $85 a week. Looks like we are going to have to cut way back on some things.

I will have a rant for today. So I want to plan a trip to Disney for my kids for the summer. I have to do this with no extra income. So yesterday cleaning out the closet I found $60.00. So I donated $10.00 to my sorority. Some will go to gas. So I only added $15.00 to the fund. I have budgeted $2500.00. So only $2585.00 to go. I have also signed up on Tolunda which you take surveys for points and

Last night I was apart of the insomnia club. So I checked out a couple of blogs. I stumpled upon couponing to Disney. So that is my new project I have always wanted to actually go and spend time at Disney. So for the next couple months I wil be saving every penny to get my kids to Disney. We are going to have a great time I can already tell. Also during this time I am going natural. We may all

This is crazy. I have got to find a job. It seems that though my husband makes okay money. He doesn't make great money. We make just enough that we don't qualify for assistance in our time of need. But it is cool though really it is. I don't lke handouts I like to work for what I have. So I have got to get out here and hit the pavement once again. I am not above working in a fast food place or

I think I am starting to see results of my new nutritional plan at this time I am still unsure. I can tell my body is a little smaller in some ways but not all. I really need some help deciding. I will see how many views my blog gets this week to help me decide. If the vegetarian life is for me

It looks like it might be sort of official. This morning I tried to eat bacon and eggs. It was a struggle. The bacon was too salty and the eggs were awful. It is sad. I once loved bacon, but now not so much. I ate one piece of bacon and half an egg. So for me no more bacon and no more eggs

Tonight I realized I am getting old. My teenager had her "boyfriend" over today for the first time. I feel so old. It is not a bad thing by any means it just shows that my baby is growing up. I thought it would be harder but now that I have the little baby it makes it alot easier. It reminded me of how it was when I was her age and I spent time with my little boyfriend in high school.

Have you ever awakened and you just knew it was about to be one of those days. I can already tell. I have woke up with a small migraine and it appears to be getting worse. But I guess I will get moving and tough it out. This morning is the day of the breast cancer awareness event at Cheekys Lingerie and Swimwear. I am praying that we have success.

Well I have to admit I have eaten a small portion of meat over the last month. But it was just a small bit. And it seems as the days go by I eat less and less meat. I know I will probably not be able to go true vegetarian but I may just eat meat maybe once a week. I haven't decided. So far I have found tasty alternatives. I found a sandwich place with the most amazing grilled cheese sandwich.

I just watched most of the presidential debate. I enjoy watching debates especially this year. It has been like a good movie it has made me laugh at times.
