    Forever Together

    I chose two special layouts from My Memories tonight to highlight special relationships. The first one is of my Grandma and I on my Wedding Day, back in 2004. I was so blessed to have her as an inspiration in my life and she was so happy to be able to make the trip to be with me that day. 

    This other layout is a special page for Topaz and Jazzy. These two always were together, cuddling on the couch, chair, on the stairs. For 10 years these two never left each other’s side. This page just captured for me their special relationship, love and respect for each other. 

    Created using Mymemories.com software, promo code for $10.00 off is STMMMS36408, with an additional $10.00 gift certificate for digital kits, layouts. That is a $20.00 savings all together.

    Coupon Organizer, and saving money.

    Mom's Build-It-Yourself Coupon Binder

    The key to using coupons is not only cutting them, but matching them with sales and Organizating them. Coupons are everywhere, and it is FREE money from the Manufacture. However, if you don’t use them right you will not be getting the best value for your time. Each Sunday Newspaper carries both coupons and Sales Flyers, you can review these coupons through before Sunday- through the Sunday Coupon Preview site. This site allows you see a sample of most of the coupons, which will vary from area to area. What is offered in New York, most likely wont be available in Salt Lake City. Sunday Coupon Preview will give you an idea what to expect.

    Matching sale prices with the coupon will double your savings. I LOVE shopping Target here because they offer Target coupons, and you can stack them with regular coupons from the paper. Plus Target offers .05 per recycled bag used, and price matching. Here is their Coupon Policy, it is something to print out and carry with you when you visit Target. All stores have their own policies, I find Target to be most customer friendly. Here is a little video by We Use Coupons on how to maximize your next shopping trip.

    Some wonderful places to find even more coupons that can be printed from your printer(and usually a limit of 2 per household). Redplum, Coupons.com, Cellfire, Pinching Your Pennies,  

    and MomSaves Coupon Organizer_are great resources for finding coupons. I will post often when sales, coupons, and freebies are found.

    Tomorrow night the 2nd season of the Controversial TLC series, Extreme Couponing. I admit, I am a fan 🙂 I first started couponing with my Grandma when I was a little girl. She always carried WalGreens Coupons in her coin purse. She even collected those Green Stamps that filled up a booklet, the earliest loyalty rewards program.
