Wow, time flies.  So it has been a month and no blog update.  I have been busy with a few new things.  Over the next few days I will play catch up .  Today's catch up is on couponing.  I have become a coupon freek.  You wouldn't believe the free stuff I have gotten over the last month!  So I thought I would share my last great deal I got.  I went to smiths and got 
2 gal whole milk
10 Quaker rice cake snack bags
11 bars Johnson buddies soap
3 rolls
  Then I went to Walgreens and got
4 glade sense and Sprays
1 tooth paste
3 packs of gum
I got all of this for $2.80  including tax.  Holy Crap!  Isn't that awesome.  All from coupons!
So here is a list of the sites I visit most frequently.  They tell you what is on ad and what coupon to use to get the best deal.  It's awesome.
The key to couponing is to start somewhere and then build from there.  I can't tell you how many free toothbrushes, soap, toothpaste, shampoo, toilet paper, body wash, food items, and more that I have gotten through using the coupons from the sunday paper and from printables off the internet.  Have a look and make sure to scroll through older posts to get the idea of what is going on.  My favorite it It's hip to Save.  Have fun!

UG. I have been trying to coupon but I am a bit overwhelmed. I even made lists last Wednesday, but, here it is Tuesday night and I never got out. It is too hard to go with kids and I can't seem to go without them.

When do you shop?

I feel overwhelmed about the idea, too, but I've heard many stories like yours! Maybe I should just get with the program! With my luck, just as I get into it, the stores will crack down on using coupons or something. :)
