 I only did one transaction at Safeway because I had the $10/ $50 coupon. This trip ended up being a total nightmare. I feel soo bad for the ladies behind me and the lady ringing me up. For some reason the computer did NOT like my Safeway coupons. Andrea(lady ringing me up) put in my phone number and the receipt showed that it was working, but for some reason it was not taking the coupons off. So Andrea had to go back and take every single item that I was purchasing and hand type in the discounted price. I had coupons for everything pictured except the celery (1.89 lb) and the apples (.99 lb). Since she had to hand type everything, my Catalina's didn't print!  Dang it!! then we got to looking back at things and I still got over charged for my fruits snacks, but she did give me the $ 2 back.

 

I ended up being at Safeway in line for almost an HOUR, but I did meet some super nice, fellow couponers!

Diapers

We have 2 in diapers and it gets REALLY expensive fast! We usually buy our diapers at Walmart and get the cheap ones. They work fine but the colors they choose kinda bug me. When both babies were in size two the diapers were all white, but Parents Choice decided to change them. Now the size 3 are purple, it annoyed me, but I guess it isn't horrible, (there room is purple and green, after all) So I think Bryson sporting purple diapers will be fine.

Then we bought Bridgette size 5 diapers and they are PINK, I think they are suppose to Salmon or Orange or something, but they are NOT. They are PINK. NO way am I putting Bryson in those!! (when he finally gets that big)  So I started looking at different options... and BOY did I find one!!! Thanks to Frugal Living NW  Wish I had found it sooner.

I wasn't feeling well yesterday so being at work wasn't a priority. The big boys both had a Dr. appointment already scheduled so I just chatted with him about me while I was there.

Couponing

Good afternoon,

My obsession right now is couponing...and when I say obsession, I MEAN obsession....I've been couponing for a little over a month now and I think I'm getting the hang of it, I can't tell you how much FUN I'm having with it. (yes, I'm easily entertained) lol

This is what I do...On Saturday evenings my hubby will go to Dollar tree and pick me up 5, count them...5 newspapers...it's ALOT of paper, let me clue ya..lol  anyway...my big boys will each grab a paper and yank out the comics and hand me the coupons and store ads, then they disappear to laugh at the comics...it's an interesting sight and sound. The way I look at it, at least they're reading and NOT fighting, even if it's only for 5 minutes...

On Sunday morning the big boys get up and do there chores (of course we have to "nicely" convince them to do them) then we sit on the living room floor and start cutting...Oh BOY is it a sight to be had...lol

Sorry about the quality of my photos...I'm working on getting a new camera.

As the boys clip, I organize them and put them in my envelope box. I like to think of it as quality bonding time with them ( I'm sure they disagree, but thats ok, I dont mind. hehe)  Then I go over the ads and plan out my shopping trip based on what coupons I have and what I need to make the following weeks menu.

How do you do you're coupon clipping?
