New blogs to follow

I have been checking out other blogs that are helpful tools in my search to save money. My fav is http://sheshopssmart.blogspot.com. She is really helpful at showing you ways to save money and where to find the best deals. Another helpful blog I came across was http://www.goddessinthehouse.com/. This one I found when I was buying a product online. She can get promotional codes to use for online purchases! Saved me 15% percent from my order! She also has alot of other helpful resources to save money and does a TON of giveaways! If any of you are interested on saving money, these are the blogs to check out. And no, I am not getting anything out of blogging these two sites, I just feel really strong about saving money and want to help others find tools for it as well! If anyone else has other sites or ideas on how to save money, let me know! Hope everyones Father's Day was a safe and fun day!

Not meaning to brag but....

So, the past couple of months I have been working on cutting coupons and making a food storage. I never thought I would say that grocery shopping is fun, but I have really been enjoying it! I'm not as good (yet) as some women I know are but to see the savings and see my food storage grow is amazing! Take for instance, Sat. night I went to Albertson's, (wild child aren't I!!) and did my shopping. I had spent a good part of the night before planning what I was going to shop for. I walked out spending $75.26!! Not to bad for someone who used to think she was doing well walking out spending $300! Now alot of the stuff that I shopped for wasn't things I would necessarily use this week, but that is what is nice is now I have storage growing and can try and plan as much of my meals as I can with what I have stored! My savings that night were $196.25!! How great is that! Plus, I got a free Redbox rental code on my reciept, and had another $1.00 off coupon to use next time I shop. I am also now at $0.90 off for gas the next time I fill up there! There was some things that were gone already when I got there, but I just went the next day and price matched at Walmart! For instance I was able to price match the Edge Shaving Gel for men for $1.50. Was regularly like 2.32 at Walmart, then I had a $0.75 coupon, Was able to pick up 3 cans for $0.75 a piece! There are so many amazing deals to find there if you can be patient and wait for the items to go on sale! I know I have felt a huge difference! Being the big dork that I am, I took pictures of my shopping trip, how weird am I staging food at midnight for a pic?? LOL! Oh well I wanted others to see my small, but big, success!!

"Not" going private!

Well i never got around to setting my blog up private and decided since I'm not able to do it as much as I want to, I'm not going to go private. I can see your point Jamey about people not reading it as much. So "JK" I'm not going to do it after all!
