9-18-10


Ya know what, screw the grocery list I had for today.
I deleted it all.
I have waaaayy to many things to do around
here than to worry about finding time
to run to the store!
Priorities come first no matter
how good the shopping trip may have sounded.
I will still have a really good grocery list
for next week and will deal with what
coupons I have at the moment.

The kids have been in and outside playing.
They were metal detecting and
when digging up up something metal
found this REALLY COOL
glass bottle in our back yard.
It actually has a date on it of:
Aug. 21, 1906.
Now the question is how did it
get there and why was it there?
Our house was built in 1958
and this used to be fields before that.
This bottle dates 52 years before the house
was even built!!
The bottle says:
Milk Of Magnesia
Rec'd in US patent office
Aug. 21 1906
The Chas. H. Phillips
Chemical Company
Glenbrook, GO NN.
Bottom K926 USA
.


Just taking some notes of a few more
sites to find printable coupons
and other sites to find deals,
coupon matchups and freebies.
These are websites I use
that are very helpful.

Hip2Save

A Full Cup

Bargain Briana

Cincinnati Cents

Stockpiling Moms

When you stockpile food you usually
have to make meal menus according
to what you have and not what you
run out and buy.
Here is a website where you type
in the ingredients you have on hand
and it will try to find a recipe for those items.

Super Cook

Remember Meijers will accept competitor coupons
like Kroger, Target or Walgreens and so on.

Here are a bunch of Target printable coupons.

I got my sales ads today, finally!
So I've been sitting here this evening going
through the Meijer sales ads and printing
off a bunch of coupons.

I got a good idea of what I want to
get now need to get it all written out.
On my written grocery list I take to the store
I will list each item, sales price, coupons on that
item and final price.
I even go as far as writing down the
regular price of each item before the sales price.
Should I have a problem in the end I know
exactly where it is!

It helps to know how much your
groceries are when going to the checkout.
If my bill is off by more than $1.00 or two
that's when I start checking my receipt for screw ups.
I have saved quite a bit of money
by catching many things that stores
have overcharged me for!
