I finally started a coupon club in my area. I was kinda of disappointed that only two people responded to my ad, but I will keep hope alive. The one person I met, we are on the same page. She is very frugal like me. We discussed a few things and she is going to bring her friends(who could not make the meeting) on board. Since I started back to work, I have talked about the club to some of my friends at work and they are interested. I think with a lot of planning, this thing could go...

Feeling so stressed out all the time renders me static. Unable to move forward or backward, unable to make a decision, a choice, or even a sandwich. So, like any child of the 70's (!?!??!) I turn to the internet to distract me from everything and give my mind a rest from trying to work everything out all at once.

I have found that Jenny Lawson The Bloggess and her giant metal chicken can make me forget my woes.

Love, love, love Stephanie O'Dae's crockpot cooking...

Not sure how many of my fellow villagers are reading the Sookie series.... and I was loooooving it up til now..... maybe I'm too hard to please, but the lastest book just didn't thrill me like the others -



Still loved it, still a fantastic story line, still fantastic...

This is my second week in a row to score a couple of good deals at the stores. I collect coupons and then get cheaper during my lunch on Monday.

Today, I went to Dillon's and purchased a box of Fiber One Bars. They were on sale for $2.79 and I had a $0.40 off double coupon. So, my total after tax was $2.16. Not bad...

Next, I went to Walgreen's and got 2 deodorants, they were on sale 2/$5.00 plus get a $3.00 Register Reward. So, I paid $5.00 plus tax and got $3.00...
