If you’re like me and you head out to the store each Sunday to buy your paper, don’t forget it’s a holiday weekend and there won’t be any coupon inserts. Enjoy a break in your weekly spending. The Dallas Morning News is an expensive paper! I would just buy the Tyler Morning Telegraph at about half the cost, but it also has about half the coupons. BTW, I’m thinking about getting a mail subscription to my old newspaper because it {Read More}

Here’s how: Libraries everywhere have free movies that you can check out {Read More}

Well not really, but oh my goodness I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a baby act like a grandparent without their dentures as much as DD. Sometimes I think she might bite her little lips right off. It’s really quite funny to watch her, especially when she’s looks like a clown jester. So full of laughter and life. So much has happened in her short 5 months. Can you believe she’s that old already??

The household budget for our family is $400 a month and includes all groceries, household products, clothing and gifts. We were over this month, but I am not worried, as we had some unexpected money made that will balance this out. Also, I haven’t completely rebuilt my stockpile from the move to Tyler, so I’ve had to buy several things at higher prices than I normally would. Here are the totals for this month: Clothing spent $18.97, saved $37 = {Read More}

Here is what I do: If you need a system for your coupons, give it a try, maybe it will work for you. It sure saves {Read More}

I bought Butterfingers last week to make home made blizzards with (super easy, yummy and cheap). DH was nice enough to clean up my mess and noticed this coupon in the package for $1.00/2 fun size bags. Wow, I would have thrown it away and missed it completely! I’m thinking November 1st here we come – make those after Halloween deals even sweeter. Maybe he’ll find me a good M & M coupon next. I easily go through 8 bags {Read More}
