I need to tell my good friend Olenka what a kick ass job she did at the grocery store with her coupons. Totally amazing. She ended up leaving the store and only spent like 40 cents. She rocks. You should get some kind of award baby girl. Keep up the good work : Here is her story below (yes I C&P it but I knew she wouldn't mind LOL . YOu can also check out her great site at http://olenkasworld.blogspot.com/

In all my short time of couponing.. I have never spent so little at the grocery store. I wish I would have taken a picture of my groceries tonight because it does not look like $84 worth of stuff.

My experience was not pleasant at all, especially when I paid my *change*. But it was not a scheduled trip. I just got out from the schools open house and decided to pick up some lunch meat for tomorrow. I decided to pick up a couple money makers and then got my groceries. I handed my coupons to the cashier and received a huff from her. I already had a feeling pulling into her station that this was not going to go over nicely.. But I still continued and just hoped the experience would be as pleasant as the previous trips. Off the bat she spouted you cant use this coupon.. ooh no this one goes over the amount of the priced item so you cant use that... I simply said Paul your store manager allowed me to use that coupon just the other day and I called here to make sure I could use the competitor coupon.. I will be honest I did get an attitude because It just annoyed me at how unhappy this cashier was to have to deal with coupons.. I told her to call over the manager... the store manager was not there so I got someone else.. LONG Story short.. Attitudes galore!!! I never get an attitude so I really need to make sure I do not if this happens next time and just leave the store with my coupons and go to another one.

Now according to my calculations, I should have paid close to $10 so I have no idea how the amount went so low. But I do need to remember to count the exact amount of coupons and make sure that I buy the same amount of groceries and possibly a couple over from this point on. Just to keep the register and an unhappy cashier go crazy because she cant ring me up quickly. OOH and there were a couple of people in the back of me who huffed even louder and left the lane. The other day that same thing happened and I apologized to the store manager and he responded with no need for an apology I turned my light off for a reason 80).

Ice cream Truck

2010-08-18T09:28:00.003-04:00

I'm sure most of you have an ice cream truck that comes through your neighbor hood. I swear ours is a stalker LOL. Not in a bad way though. She makes me insane, more so than usual. Every night she comes creeping down the road with her music extra super loud. If I hear her before the kids do then I try to turn the tv up really loud or get them in another part of the house. This usually doesn't work and they go running out the door. What also makes it bad is she ALWAYS will just stop right in front of the house. I'm like are you kidding me? I have 4 kids and this crap can get expensive since she comes every day of the week. Her loud music playing and she's on the microphone saying HELLO, HELLO.

This goes on from May-September. She's stressing me LOL. I at one point told her I didn't like her very much. So did my next door neighbor because her little one has to have ice cream every night as well. If I hear her coming, I also try to throw the kids in my truck really fast and go somewhere. They don't need treats every night but if I don't get them one the 3 & 4 yr old have super meltdowns. It doesn't matter if I have stuff in the freezer it's just not the same.

Last night my son came running down the stairs yelling, "there she is, there she is." Well, I looked out the window and she was already past the house so I sat back down. Next thing I know he's saying, "she's coming back, shes backing up." I was like no way, she is NOT backing down the road!! Yep, there she was in front of my house. I was like, SERIOUSLY!!! I can not believe this. So the kids are running out the door and I'm like ,"WAIT!!" I'm digging in my purse for money and of course all I have is a 20. Nice, sending kids to get icecream with 20. Unlimited possibiliteis there. Just 3 kids were at home so I thought ok, the 9 yr old is pretty responsible, she won't get tons of stuff. HA!!! That was funny.

Can't wait to see what today brings or when the truck will be down the road. She comes anywhere between 5-9. Yes 9. If it's dark, she'll spotlight the house. Anyone else have an ice cream lady like this LOL???

I won, I won LOL

2010-08-06T08:09:00.000-04:00

Ok, now when it comes to winning stuff off of the Internet, I am EXTREMELY lucky. It just blows my mind away at how much stuff I've won since the beginning of the year. I seriously need to play the lottery or hit the casinos.That's how often I win stuff. This time my win was an Everepure Water Analysis Kit (valued at $90). So weird because like 2 nights ago I told my husband that I hoped I won it LOL. This kit comes with everything you need to test your water and the steps are easy. You then send the results in and I think I read that you get them back in less than 2 weeks. Thank you AkronOhioMoms.com for hosting this giveaway and so many great others. You rock!!

Embracing Your Second Calling

2010-07-01T16:07:00.001-04:00

Embracing Your Second Calling By Dale Hanson Bourke

This is a Christian book about embarking on the second part of your life as a woman. There are a lot of scriptures and references to other books in it. Also it's full of little Acts and Reflections for the reader to do.

The book was well written and it was an easy read. It just wasn't for me though. Maybe it's because I'm only in my mid 30's. Normally I can read a book of that size in 2 hours. This took me a few days just because I couldn't get into it. Like I said, it was well written, just not for me. I'm passing it along to my mother whom I know will thoroughly enjoy it and appreciate it more.

The main thing I got out of the book was to not hold onto your past. You don't want to spend the rest of your life as a bitter person. The was a lot of good reflection topics and scriptures to ponder. She spoke a lot about Naomi and reference to her a lot.

The book was inspiring and I would recommend it to woman who are in their midlife.

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com <http://BookSneeze.com> book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255 <http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_03/16cfr255_03.html> : “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”

It's July

2010-07-01T10:53:00.000-04:00

WOW!!!! Can't believe it's July already!!! Sumner is flying by like crazy!! Seems like there is so much I want to do this summer but I'm running out of time. I've just been so busy but yet it seems as if I've gotten nothing accomplished. This month I'm going to work REALLY HARD on budgeting and beingmore frugal. I'm sure this will last about a week, but hey, I'm going to give it a shot. I'm going to make a page called budgeting or something so keep checking it out to see how my "adventures" are going, or not LOL.

Any exciting plans for the 4th? My baby will be 3 on the 3rd. Can't believe it. My sweet, devilish lil guy is growing up. I have 5 kids but it's sad when you realize that your last one is growing up. It's exciting in a way yet it's bittersweet. They become their own person, more independant. Having children is such a blessing and all of mine are unique in their own way.

Well, I'm off to TRY to get my budgeting going and my coupon hunting so wish me luck.

Spaghetti Tacos

2010-06-17T21:29:00.000-04:00

Yeah, that's what I thought also when the words came out of my 9 year olds mouth. I was like seriously? You have got to be kidding me!!! She's been on me for a while to make these but I just couldn't fathom the thought. They made them on one of her favorite shows I-Carly a long time ago and at least once a week Cierra will ask for them. Well, tonight I caved. I had some leftover spaghetti and I'm trying to be more frugal and not toss food like I normally do, so I thought why not. I just baked the hard taco shells for 5 minutes, heated up the spaghetti and tossed it in the shells.

In all honesty it was pretty good. I was quite shocked. All 3 kids loved them and even the 2 yr old wanted seconds. It's not something I'm going to add to my regular menu but it is something we will have again.
