Couponing at DG

My $29.00 haul.

I bought 22 items shown here for a total of $29.00.  I was very happy with my savings.  Everything that was bought is something we use.  Gone are the days of buying some random item for cheap and never using it.  Which is how I started doing when I first used coupons. 

My secret is I am in several groups on Facebook.  I follow extreme couponing with Greg the Dude.  I always factor in more money for the total.  As I’ve discovered Oklahoma prices and taxes are usually higher than where he is located.  I have only been using digital coupons.  I also have not have one account.  I must admit sometimes I wish I had more accounts but I just want to follow the rules. 

My little stock pile is down to nothing.  So my goal is to build it back up slowly with the least amount of cash.  I need to really pay more attention to sales and coupons. 

On this trip alone I saved $46.00.  Probably one of my best coupon trips to date. 

Just ice and sleet

I always look forward to days off due to ice.  Looks like I will be happy at home till at least Monday. This always gives Mr. C and I quality time together.  Our winter is his year has been mild.  Although we have had bitter cold days just no snow.

Yesterday when it started I had Mr.C run me to store to get a few items incase we couldn’t get out.  If your wondering my list contained Coke and chocolate with a few items of real food.  I probably could  survive on coke and chocolate.   Mr.  C thinks he needs more nourishment than junk.  

I think I will make a big pot of Taco Soup.  It’s yummy and we all like it.  Plus it’s super easy and fast to throw together. 

While I’m home I plan on reading a book by Nicholas Sparks.  Have heard great reviews about him.  Have you read any of his books?  What did you think? 

Etsy Planner Stickers

I’m enjoying my planner this year.  Have been buying stickers from Etsy.  I have been pretty pleased with my planner stickers so far.  This last order I spent $13.00 and when I got my order it was kinda disappointing.  No fault of the shop as I went back to read the dimensions of each sticker sheet.  Lesson learned the hard way.  My advice is always to read what your ordering.

Cute stickers just expensive!  Now I’m afraid to use them! Lol

What I will do is look for sales and coupon codes.  I don’t want decorating my binder to break my bank!!  I have four orders waiting to be shipped from Etsy.  Mr C. Gave me money for Valentine’s Day and I wanted planner stickers!!
