Still Couponing!

Just a quick blog about couponing! My mother and I found this great coupon holder online! Great price! $12.99 at http://www.thecouponwallet.com/. They have tons of cute fabrics! I  love mine!

The black strap on the outside allows you to attach it to the shopping cart! It came with dividers that are already labeled and small scissors that fit in the back.

I am sure some of you think I am a nerd but this makes couponing SO much easier!

Things I have learned from my dad!

My dad is the one of the most important people in my life and I am so thankful to have learned so much from him in 25 years. (I will be uploading a picture later)

Here are a few things....

Be patient

People are always going to do what they want to in the end

Work hard for the what you love

Work even harder for the ones you love

Sometimes silence is the best

Some people are just crazy

A few cooking tips

Relax
Always say I love you

Do what makes you happy ( I can hear him say that)

No matter what, my mom will always be right

Here is a few things I think he has learned from me...

You can over fertilize your garden

How to text, email, turn on a computer, upload pictures...basically anything electronic (I am not the one who taught him short hand text though)

When you live with all girls, you will be involved in a couple of arguments

Check to make sure your razor blade is actually new and not just replaced with a used one

Giving your baby away at her wedding isn't such a bad thing 

The word "No" isn't in your vocabulary

Thank you for being the perfect dad and always being there for me. You always have the best advice to give for every situation and I am so blessed to be your daughter. Thank you for all the support throughout the years...I am sure there is plenty more to come! I love you will all my heart. Happy Father's Day!

Savings!

Since our weekend wasn't too exciting, I decided to share some savings tips I have learned recently!

First, we do most of our grocery shopping at Kroger. Make sure you always have a Kroger Plus Card! This will save you some money at the pump! For every dollar you spend before tax, you will get a point on your card. For every 100 points, you will receive $.10/gallon off at any Kroger or Shell gas station! I always stick to the Kroger gas because it always seems to be cheaper! If you buy a lot of groceries, you can earn up to $1.00/gallon off! BUT, the points do not roll from month to month. If you read your receipt after shopping, it will tell you at the bottom when those points expire! Last week, I paid $3.32/gallon!!!

The secret is to find a store that is running an in store special on an item that you have a coupon for! Last week, I had a coupon for $2.00 off paper towels and Kroger was running a special for them. $5.99 plus $3.00 off if you used your Kroger card! That's right...I got 6 double roll paper towels for $.99!!!

One last tip! You can register your Kroger Plus Card online at www.kroger.com. Once you do that, you can upload digital coupons to the card!
