Did I Mention I LOVE Coupons?

Yesterday was just one of those days.  I feel like I accomplished a lot and really met my goals and I LOVE THOSE DAYS!  Spending time with my kids, exercising, FHE, and some super awesome shopping trips with incredible savings. Since I'm not really doing much on my deal blog anymore, I had to share this somewhere. And more importantly, I want to remind myself how valuable couponing is even when I am not forced to do it for survival.  I don't usually tell people what I spend on things, but again, this is for my own memory since I know I will get early onset Alzheimers and have already been informed by my husband that I will placed in a home if I forget who they are.  No folks, there will be no romantic Notebook reenactment where he comes to tell me our Love Story, quite the opposite!

I got an email for a FREE photobook that I'm doing a scrapbook for Porter for 2010.  That brings me up to date with scrapbooking and you can't beat FREE!
