I've Ordered a New FREEZER!! :)



We have outgrown our freezer (see picture!), not to mention that it is older than the hills, has to be defrosted at least twice a year (what a pain!), and is probably eating us alive in electricity use!

I went yesterday and ordered a new one! YEAH! It is bigger, frost free, Energy Star, AND has alarms for temperature variations and door ajar (we lost all our freezer foods a few years ago due to the door being "ajar"!).

By waiting for a great sale, and taking advantage of additional savings with coupon codes (DH even laughed at my having coupon codes to save on a freezer!!), I was able to save $304 off my new freezer.

Now the hard part.....waiting the 2 weeks (June 3rd) for it to arrive! LOL! :)

How I Organize My Coupons



Each person will come up with the best way to organize their coupons that works best for them. Many use the binder method. I personally use a check/coupon expandable file. I've tried so many different ways, but what works best for ME is this.

Quick Kroger Trip



I did not plan on going to Kroger yesterday, but since DH was heading over there to fill the truck and gas cans up, I tagged along and ran into the store.

The Kellogg's cereals were on sale for $1.99 each and I had the $1 off one coupons printed from www.coupons.com site. Our store doubles $1 coupons, so I got the cereals for FREE! :)

The 3 J&J Buddies soaps were $0.99 each and I had a catalina coupon for $2.50 off any 3 J&J baby.

Total spent $0.65!
