HMMMM??
Who wants to win a $25 gift card to use in time for Christmas? How about a $50.00 gift card? You can choose from either a Target, Amazon, Visa, or American Express card… it’s entirely up to you!
How do you win? I’m so glad you asked!
I don’t typically spend much in advertising each year. Word of mouth has been my best way of getting new customers. This year, I’ve decided instead of spending Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03819322317135610883noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993865826417787617.post-4235569073972228382011-09-20T08:04:00.005-04:002011-09-20T09:39:04.559-04:00Where have I been?!Well, thank you for asking!!

How it Flies....Can you believe it!!!
As a quasi single income family we really have to plan ahead for Christmas. What am I doing to help cushion the blow? I'm so glad you asked! I play a game with myself. This year I have really been taking advantage of the Target gift card promotions. I do have my rules, though. I really only buy it IF it is something that I will use and Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03819322317135610883noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993865826417787617.post-68941372654717922822011-04-28T14:31:00.002-04:002011-04-28T14:42:53.223-04:00Clean up at the register 3, please...Well, it finally happened.... I knew it had to happen sooner or later. I really would have preferred later. I was attacked encountered by the coupon hater CSM at the friendly local Wal-mart. Yes, it appears that there are still employees in management that are not up on the new couponing policies that have been in place since mid March.

To me it can best be summed up as this. Coupons are money. Plain and simple. Now, while I cannot just collect coupons and stash them in my piggy bank, (wouldn't that be GREAT!) I can strategically use them to help lower my grocery tab, thus allowing me to use that saved money for things like, oh... I don't know... GAS for my car!

I have been bitten by the adorable cute bow syndrome... I think I need an intervention because at this rate, I will be having to adore the beautiful bows that match Malia's clothes in lieu of watching TV or surfing the net. Do you think Verizon will understand that we must have bows? hmmmm... Is there a rehab for something like this?.... just curious.

I like frozen foods... a lot. Love the convenience of them as well as the variety of options. So, I figured I had month to buy $100 worth of frozen foods and in return, get a $25 Catalina coupon printed to use on my next purchase at Martins.... BUT the deal got sweeter. I was able to get $100 of frozen foods wayCindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03819322317135610883noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993865826417787617.post-822685738574883532011-03-12T19:46:00.003-05:002011-03-12T21:30:23.863-05:00Ahh, the sweet smell of saving money... part 2Like I said before, (I think I said before..) I use to coupon a lot, but got out of the habit. Recent situations required that we re-aquaint ourselves with that special form of currency! It took me a few weeks to get myself together, but the Target frozen food/gift card deals were a great jump start! It was a win-win! At least for us!

We try not to pay retail for anything, if at all possible. There are tricks to the trade. As I blogged and entered giveaways, I was introduced to some amazing coupon queens! They have taught me, via their blogs and FB posts, how to fully utilize the coupons and play the drugstore games. I've been renewed!

Wasn't it just Christmas the other day? My momma always told me that when I got older the days would go by quicker. She was not lying!!

I was in my basement yesterday, leisurely walking on the treadmill going around 3.0 for a 20 minute mile…. I had finished a chapter of a book I was reading and did not want to start another chapter yet. My mind was wandering the last few minutes of my routine...
