Couponing Maddness

Loving couponing this month. As a matter of fact it has been keeping me up at night. Pathetic, I know. If I get woke up in the night, I will lay there thinking about the deals at different stores and not able to go back to sleep. It is a sickness, really. Well, I got up just before 3 this morning and changed a bed a kid peed in. Love doing that! Not! I layed in bed for the next hour and then got up to plan out my assault. I created the $10 challenge for myself, to see how much I could get for this amount of money. Here is the scenario I came up with:
11 boxes of cereal
15 boxes of fruit snacks
5 salad dressings
__________
$8.50 out of pocket

That is killer! I love doing this. I am really excited to have Karrie the coupon queen coming to do a class for all my friends and I. I love saving money. Last month the total saved was $114.30. Not crazy amazing, but amazing none the less. I would tell you that I have been saving the money for fun things, but that is not the case. Our water heater went out last month and we had a couple medical bills that pretty much devoured that and a lot more. Oh well, God is so good to provide for my family. And I dont just mean scrape by provide, He really does it with some flair!

Ok, well I am gonna go, Safeway just opened. I hope you all have a grand day
