It's getting to be that time of year
when baking products will start going on sale
for upcoming holidays.
Now is the time to take advantage of those
sales and any coupons for baking items.
HERE are some Smartsource coupons
for brown sugar, powdered sugar
and some baking powder.
At least get the high dollar .75 cents
($1.50 doubled) baking powder coupon
to get it cheap or free!


This time of year I also start collecting
candy coupons. I don't buy candy before Halloween.
I wait til after the holidays and hit the stores
when they mark their holiday candy down
and then use those coupons for some really
cheap or free candy.
You'll be able to find candy 50%-75% and
sometimes even 90% off!!
I also like to stock up on other baking supplies
that might be marked down
like napkins, cupcake wrappers, sprinkles,
cookie cutters and so on.

I was able to get only 1 of the $5.99 coupons
before they were gone.

Wowzer, I just checked my Opinion Outpost
survey information and I'm .20 cents
short of making $50.00!
Woo Hoo.
Took 2 1/2 months to get that.
Almost time to cash that in for Christmas!!
It takes 4 - 8 weeks to get.
So hoping to get it in the shorter amount of time!
Also sent away for one of my $25 gift cards
for another survey site.
So there will be an extra $75.00 for Christmas.

12:40PM

Well y'all I'm gonna go take me a nappy.
I didn't get one yesterday because I thought
we were going to have some bad weather
roll through and I wanted to be up and prepared
for whatever happened.
I was also awake at 2:40AM this morning
because I kept hearing a helicopter.
I got up and saw it a block down our street
with it's spot light around mom's house.
I went outside to see what was going on
and saw a police car whiz down the street
but with no red and blue lights on.
I asked around this morning when at
the bus stop about it and no one knows
what went on at that hour of the morning.
Mom said it sounded like the helicopter was
in her bedroom! I told her it was flying right
above her house.
