So we've decided that Isabella is a very particular child. Especially when it comes to music. We have discovered that she does not like the things we want to listen to most of the time. For example, we can be in the car and have one of her kids CDs on and she's just fine. If we turn the radio off, she's fine. If we change the radio to a station that we like, she has a fit. We have, however, recently learned that she will listen to Christmas music (yes, even though its July) and that she likes Josh Groban. Go figure! She is a funny child.
So I've gotten into couponing lately. Unfortunately it takes a lot of work, but we've been able to save quite a bit and haven't had to skimp on many things either. I have my lovely little coupon organizer that is chock full of coupons. Some are from the circulars in the Sunday paper, but a lot are printed from a few coupon websites. The ones I have found that are good are coupons.com, couponsuzy.com, and coolsavings.com. Safeway, the grocery store that I primarily use, will also let you "clip" coupons onto your shoppers card. Its so cool at the end of checking out and you start seeing everything come off on the monitor. Like today, I saved $50. I am so proud of myself. I'm not one of those fanatics though that goes to a billion different stores to do my shopping. I don't have the time or energy and its just not worth paying that in gas for me to do that. I check out all the sale ads and go to the store that has the most deals that I want/need. Its not worth it for me to make a trip to a store for 2 things. Plus, I prefer to go to the stores that double coupons up to 99 cents. Just if you decide to get into couponing, remember that you can't shop for just a week at a time, you have to shop what's on sale and what you have coupons for.
