Saving Money

My new years resolution this year was to save money on our grocery bill, but still eat healthy...So my first step was to join the Gocery Game. For $1.00 you get a four week subscrition. It gives you the break down of your sale flyer as well as where to get the coupons to go with the sales.We also joined www.couponbug.com, you can print off different coupons every week, and it is free to join. My first week I saved $164.00. We shop at shaws, who also gives you coupons towards gas, so we also saved $12.00 in gas this week. My son was excited to help save money as well. Not a bad thing to teach our children. Look at the haul...

Crafting for Valentine Day

I've been reading a lot of your blogs, and was inspired. I don't usually decorate or craft for Valentine's day, but this year we did. We made candy cane heart pops we saw at Skip-to-my -Lou, and Great teacher's gifts from Just a girl. Well Here's our version...

We bought the candy cane's at Shaw's for 50 cents (75% off) and the sticks were under two dollars at JoAnn's. The ribbon and the stickers we got at Target in their dollar section and the anti-bacterial lotin came from the dollar tree...for you guessed it $1.00.
