swagbucks

I only started the swagbucks thing recently but it is fun!

Starting to get back into savings with coupons. But altered my mojo a bit.  I no longer stress out about it. If I miss a sale or a coupon expires Oh well.
Execpt today, cuz CVS has a catalina for Rimmel makeup $1.00 off plus I have a MFG coupon for $1.00 off and I need mascara! 
Off to CVS

burn out

I have burned out!  So many coupons so little time.  I can't get them organized or cut them in time to use them.  I am stuck with tons of coupons, some clipped, some filed, most expired, no food in the house.
I know that it is worth it, but it is too much for me with 2 kids and a full-time job.
I still plan on using coupons, but I need a new game plan. A low key game plan.

Clipped

I purchased a binder for collecting baseball cards, they seem to hold the coupons well, so far.  Also, lots of coupons coming in from people like Ernie, Dolores, and another volunteer.  So generous, I am very thankful.  However, I can never get to the bottom of the pile as more and more come in. 

I also started the rewards program at Walgreens! They have some great deals.

Ok, so it is not Tuesday. But today is the day to save some money. I will be at Shaws and CVS.
There are alot of back to school items such as zip lock bags, lunchables, snackpacks, and stationary & pen items available this time of year.
But since I am living in 'poor' economic times, and my husband is cheap, I have little to spend - hence my love of coupons and deals.
My experience in saving money on groceries is at a beginners level, I have seen many people save and even get money back on there quest to save money. Me - I've only seen $50 -$60 off my bill, but I was still quite impressed with myself.
I love to use Money Saving Mom website, they outline all the sales and even match the coupons for you. This is my first blog, so be kind.
