My shopping has been sorely lacking this summer due to my children who make me want to drink upon occasion little helpers being home all the time and not being able to take the time that a good couponing haul needs. But I’m grabbing deals here and there and found some great ones this week. […]
A family member has been put on a gluten-free diet, most likely for the rest of her life. She’s an older woman and on a retiree income and so I started doing a little looking around this weekend thinking I could coupon gluten-free items for her and help save some money. I, up to this point […]
So I heard back from my GP today regarding the kidney stone that tried to kill me. It’s a calcium oxalate stone. This is one of the most common kidney stones, which I guess is good? Maybe? It’s not a super-rare, your doctor has only read about them type thing, right? So I’ve got that […]
I was supposed to shop yesterday, but Mother Nature put the kibosh on yet another outing. Holy cheese with the ice! When the huge city street sanders and emergency vehicles are sliding off the road, I’ll be staying home. My tiny, little Volvo would be a dark blue streak shooting off into the trees. Thanks, […]
So we’ve needed a new couch down here in our family room pretty much since we moved in. We foolishly thought that it would just mostly be Mark & I down here since the girls have run of the entire upstairs, including the big living room. We were wrong. While Hal ventures down on occasion […]
So, Black Friday is nearly upon us. I’ve been going back and forth trying to decide whether or not I’ve gotten a handle on my road-rage issues to brave the hoards that night.

It’s become apparent to me, especially in the last couple of months that couponing is getting more and more difficult as stores are reviewing and changing their coupon policies due to some really greedy morons with extremely bad judgement coupon fraud. Coupon users across the country are feeling the pinch as stores restrict coupon usage. Coupon […]
Oh-ho, cheeky monkeys! Did you think I was talking about a romantic-type date? Well, you’re a few years too late for that. Mark beat you to the punch there, the lucky fella! I’m talking about a coffee and shopping date with me! I was headed out this morning to do my usual morning running around […]
Ugh…I can’t even begin to deal with the Christmas onslaught yet. Seriously? How can it even be that time of year already? I love Christmas. I love the spirit of the holiday, families being together, decorating the house, making and eating decorating all of the cookies, sitting in the dark watching the snow fall by […]
After a whirlwind week and weekend, I need what every woman needs to unwind. That’s right, a good, long, satisfying THRIFT/COUPONING SHOPPING TRIP. Jeeze you guys..really? This is a family blog. I haven’t been on a good shopping run for a week or so because getting things ready for the rehearsal dinner for Mark’s son […]
