Couponing Again!

Hello Blog World! Long time, no post. Partly because I haven't had a laptop and I don't prefer to use our home computer which is VERY slow. So let's catch up for a minute-- Will's first gig at Jackson's went GREAT! He was amazing.. they even asked him to stay an extra hour- yeah, he's that good! They are talking about having him back maybe once a month or so. Other than that, things have been the same ole same ole-eat, sleep, watch tv, repeat and throw in some productivity somewhere in there! So last week and this week, Kroger has had some pretty decent sales going on. I have posted two pictures from a shopping trip that I made last week and this week! Please keep in mind, most of my shopping trips are to stock up our food pantry so they do not paint a very realistic picture of an average shopping trip I would make when shopping for Adam and myself! From this trip, only the toothpaste, pasta, and D.O was for the pantry.

I enjoy couponing so much, I don't think I will ever stop. I'm glad I have learned while I have all of this spare time and time to practice & get good at it. This way, when my schedule does get crazy, I will already be a pro at it! :)

Until my next post...
