thank goodness for your iangel, haha, oh i would have been freaking out too! i have several email accounts too,

and one is for coupons=) i named it "myname"shopping@____.com =) i have all the clothing stores coupons sent there, and there is a site called coupons.com where you can print grocery coupons that you want to use... there's also retailmenot.com to look for any stores you many shop at, you can try to find a coupon code to use online or to print out...

p&g saver and red plum (i think=))are other sets of coupons you might receive in your paper or local paper,

i just have a coupon holder with about a dozen slots and just label how you think you want them grouped (and you can always change it after you see what you might want) like, dairy, breakfast, frozen, cleaning, paper products, refrigerated, meats, personal hygiene, canned goods...

i have not been very good about it lately, but if you look at the sales ads that come in the mail and if you can find a coupon or save your coupons when that item goes on sale, you can save a lot of money! enough money to keep trying all of the drinks from your starbucks list! =)

I just knew that song stemmed from your deep love of all things Disney! Good luck with the grocery saving thing. Let me know if you find the magical solution! Our wallets would be grateful!

let me know how the couponing thing goes. i always say i want to start doing that, but never actually do. i know a lot of people who save a TON of money though.. good luck!

Your iAngel....hilarious!!! I would be freaking out if I lost mine too...sheesh, so glad she found it!

2009-10-28T14:35:44.302-07:00

Oh my gosh, I used to be the same way about coupons. I hated cutting them and it was such a pain cause I felt like the only reason I ended up buying the stuff was just because I had a coupon for it. Well....that all changed about a month and a half ago. First of all I have 3 kids so a $400 grocery bill twice a month and then $150-200 bill the other two weeks of the month was just too much money! I started buying the Sunday paper and clipping coupons, for stuff that I actually buy. I do clip coupons now for other brands of items I buy if the coupon is worth clipping though.

Then, the best way to use them is to make your grocery list of everything you need, then go through and categorize it by how it's laid out in the store (or how you usually shop) and copy your list over to the outside of an envelope. Mark a "c" by all the things you have coupons for then stick the coupons into the envelope that has your list on it! That way you don't forget to use them!! It's very easy and I always save at least $15 or so at the register!!

i did wonder why you chose circle of life. :) haha

i want to be a coupon lady, but have no idea where to go to find these coupons. you said you found a lot for publix?? where??

say no to twilight. haha. i have no reason to say that because i've never read it. i just don't get all into the hype of many things.

I'm so happy to hear about your iAngel! My phone is like a little extra hand, it's sad how much I depend on that thing!

Twilight? Well, I read all 4 in a week back in March, bc my friend loooves them and asked me too. I never really "got" it, but I told her I'd read all before passing judgement. They're not my thing, but they go fast and are kind of interesting!

COUPONS DRIVE ME CRAZY!!!!

Now that I've got that off my chest =) I've tried many times, but I always feel overwhelmed. I feel like I buy stuff just to use the coupon, even if I don't need it or don't usually buy it. I will probably try coupons again, it seems to a love/don'tlikesomuch kind of relationship. Aren't you glad you asked? =)

Twilight series, tried it once, don't do scary.

Umm having kids to see what they will look like ~~ you are so cute!! But seriously wait for a better reason =)

This post was so fun!! You are a hoot!!!

Have a Blessed day,
Dawn

2009-10-28T11:23:41.370-07:00

I'm thrilled to hear that your song isn't actually "The Circle of Life." I was pretty worried about that after reading it. :P

And I have started clipping coupons like a PRO! :)

2009-10-28T11:11:26.429-07:00

Our grocery bills are rediculous too! I am trying to be a coupon lady but I am not good at it! I keep losing or forgetting the coupon I need!

2009-10-28T09:48:48.131-07:00

Your iAngel? That is so funny.. you crack me up! :) I'm glad you got your phone back.

That's funny you want to have babies so you can see what they look like. :) I bet they will have lots of dark hair like your hubby!

iAngel! There are a few good people in this world!...

2009-10-28T09:25:45.561-07:00

iAngel! There are a few good people in this world!

Also, I totally want to become a coupon girl too, but am having a hard time! Hopefully someone has some good tips b/c groceries are SO dang expensive!

2009-10-28T09:23:18.197-07:00

Confession: I have hit "mark all as read" button a few times. It only hurts for a second!!

Coupons: DO IT!! We save a lot of money. It takes a little bit of time to get organized up front...but once you find a system that works for you...it is SO worth it.

2009-10-28T09:17:39.075-07:00

1. Glad you found your iPhone. Scary!

2. Haha, I have, at a quick count, 8 accounts. Seriously, what is wrong with me?

3. So wait, you've never made it through the whole Twilight series? If you haven't made it so far.... I dunno. I've read it twice, and will be reading it again before New Moon premieres on November 20th. I have tickets to the midnight show. Feel free to mock me.

4. I am becoming a blog-reading fiend, but only because I'm putting off other stuff. Genius, right?

5. I want to have babies so so bad. Seriously, it's sick. I suggest creating a babynames.com account to pass the time.

6. I use coupons! My advice is to start clipping/printing them and using them... nothing more complicated than that. I got a little coupon crazy in the spring and it wasn't worth the effort. There are blogs you can subscribe too that post good deals and new online coupons (Coupon Cravings, Deal Seeking Mom, Sisterly Savings off the top of my head). They have lots of good ideas.

Well, glad I could basically write a post inside your post today. I really need to lay off the procrastination.

2009-10-28T08:38:48.051-07:00

I love to coupon and save TONS of money doing it. I have several websites I use but one in paticular is couponmom.com you can put in your city and state and she will tell you per store in your areas what coupons are available and what the final price would be. VERY helpful. if you want the rest of the addresses let me know.. my email is jesuschickfl@hotmail.com
Good luck!

2009-10-28T08:36:17.827-07:00

Ahh.. the Twilight series. I tried for so long not to give in, until one night I finished a book I was reading and wanted another one to start and my sister talked me into Twilight... I was hooked I finished it in less then 24 hrs (sad I know)! The New Moon and Eclipse were a different story. It took me forever to get through and kinda dragged out. The last one Breaking Dawn was good too! =)

2009-10-28T08:32:48.915-07:00

This post made me laugh. If you do get tips from coupon here you should post so we can see too.
I'm the same way about kids. I don't really want them right now but the thought of seeing what they are going to look like is very irresistible

Oh my! I needed those laughs this a.m. Going to be...

2009-10-28T08:19:04.502-07:00

Oh my!
I needed those laughs this a.m. Going to be a LONG day over here.
Definitely read twilight a third time! Nothing wrong with that ;)
And thank GOD for the iAngel :)

2009-10-28T08:11:44.139-07:00

I feel your paniced pain! My iPhone slipped out of my back pocket on the way to the U2 concert a few weeks ago. I freeeeeeaaaaaked out. BUT...it was sitting there in the grass waiting for me after the concert! Can you believe that?! Somebody could've had themselves a free iPhone! Ahh!

2009-10-28T08:04:06.990-07:00

I would suggest trying Twilight again...it took me a bit but then I ended up reading all the books in less than a week...slightly obsessive, yes I know!

Good luck with the coupon clipping...I have a bit fat FAIL next to this one in my life! Mainly because I'm lazy, and well mainly because I'm lazy!

2009-10-28T07:58:51.380-07:00

I love your random posts...... and girl, sing away on those Disney songs to your hearts content!!!!!! And aren't we all a part of the Circle of Life? And now I can officially thank you for getting that song stuck in my head, haha!!! :)

2009-10-28T07:56:45.436-07:00

I'm with you..I'm trying to get more organized with coupons, but it's kind of difficult. I'm getting there! :)
