Do you coupon?

Do  you Groupon? Southersavers? Ebates? Do you get emails from you local grocery stores or follow the Grocery Shrink? Some say they don't have the time, others can't be bothered but the truth be told, it's worth it. Triple coupons. Can you beat that? I don't mind and extra $60 in my pocket, in fact that's what I saved on my last grocery trip with out even doing my best. Now I'm not the mom with the big photo album or base ball card album full of  coupons. I do however have an organizer and even print some out online. I compare prices and I am an Amazon Mom so I can get better discounts on my kid and mommy needs. I trade coupons with friends and shop on a need basis only. The hardest part for me is not the time for the coupon clipping, it's the fact that usually it's the junk food that is on sale not the healthy stuff. So even if you don't clip, click and print remember to check you prices per pound, remember that generic is usually just as good.

What was your favorite Mothers Day gift?

My husband asked me what I wanted for Mothers Day. My first and almost immediate responce was "I don't want to change any diapers/pull ups for just one day". After giving it some thougth I would joke around and say things like, all I want is quiet. How about Jared or the little blue box women love so much.  My husband turns to me and said I know we don't have time but maybe we can get you to a pedicure this week. I smiled. Our month started off in full swing, people visiting, us visiting others, garage sales, business trips, car repair, garden work, kids, house cleaning and well theres maybe even private mommy and daddy time. Where can we fit in a pedicure, I laughed. In the end I got a great meal made by daddy himself, flowers and gift cards to places that are not on our "need" list. It was a great day. A perfect day.
