Back on Track

I want to apologize for all my fellow followers for me not posting anything for weeks.  I have been going through a separation with my husband and couponing among other things got the back burner.  I will be getting back to couponing this week, and I'll start posting deals.  Keep sharing deals and trades with each other.  I apologize for the lack on my behalf for the blog.  Have a wonderful week, and enjoy the July sunshine.

Camping

Over the weekend I'll be gone camping with some good friends up by Cascade.  Enjoy the Twice the Values on Sunday for me =)

But I'll be enjoying camping, coupon style:
- Smores' (Free Marshmallows wyb grams and Hershey 6-pack coupon)
- Drinks (Pauls THIS WEEK; 5 12-packs for $12$, Water Bottles from a sale at target a few weeks ago, 
                V8 from the $1.00/1 coupon)
- Breakfast (Sausage links on sale at Albertson's this week, plus pancakes and eggs(extra game piece
                    for Albertson's game wyb 1 dozen eggs)
- Lunch (Sandwiches, ton's of coupons out there for lunch meats, have lots of condiments from 
               previous sales, Nalley Pickles ($1.75/1 coupon) and cheap bread.
- Dinner Hot Dogs (we all know I have tons of those from Albertson's a few weeks ago) and Burgers.

I want to point out that in the economic time, it's hard to get a few days away, having to give up hours to work when you don't have enough for the vacation anyway, but if you plan ahead like I did with deals (I also stocked up since February on the OFF clip on fans) then you can enjoy a few things and some time with friends a family.  So far we've been able to have my birthday party, a BBQ, Cherry Festival, and now camping mostly supplied by coupon deals.  We've also got 4th July ready and a date at Roaring Springs and my hubby's 21st birthday fueled by coupons.  Yes I had to buy a few things non coupon and that's a given.  But I don't have to buy full priced drinks, swim diapers for my daughter, snacks and those sort of things.  When you look at deals think ahead, not just for meals but for upcoming events!  Also look for sales, even if you don't have coupons, if something IS at a rock bottom price and you know it (Coleman propane $2.99 at Fred Meyers and $2.88 at Walmart) then don't clear a shelf but buy a few. Just in case something comes up (like my camping) you got something to go off of! =) Happy couponing my Idahoans and enjoy the summer heat now that it's finally here!

A healthy dose of Coupon Perspective

     I hope everyone took sometime from their busy schedules and couponing to spend some wonderful time with the special men in their life yesterday, I know I did.  And that's why I haven't been posting much the past few days!

     However; this weekend I was given a good does of coupon perspective and I wanted to share my found advice for new and well seasoned couponers.  To this date from April of 2011 I have saved a little over $1,6500!!! Which is amazing, and I'm really proud of myself.  However, I haven't missed a weekend since I started "extreme" couponing.  And even though I have saved so much, there's not much I can do when there's no money to spend on couponing due to my husband's hours making less then what our few bills equal out to.  So this weekend and week I won't be couponing.  I will admit I was moping around the house yesterday morning when I got my six papers and couldn't do "anything" with them.  However, my best friend was down for the weekend and she came over for a few hours.  When we got to talking I started to hear how she had no food in the cupboards, fridge or freezer, and like my husband and I was denied for food stamps.  I started to hit myself upside the head.  Here I was complaining because I couldn't go "score" some good deals on razors and gum that I had plenty of along with a full pantry and freezer and all I had to buy this week was some eggs and a gallon of milk!  So before she left I gave her two boxes full of stuff (with my mom's help who's also a couponer) and said our goodbyes.

      This morning, I got a text from my friend saying "Heather, thank you so much for the food.  You really didn't have to.  But we really appreciate it greatly."

      I have quickly learned, that being an "extreme" couponer doesn't mean scoring every deal and lettingg some go for the sake of bills, family, friends or just some time for yourself.  But also, being able to be selfless and help those in greater need then yourself.  Here was a week I couldn't replenish my pantry because my fiances are so tight and yet I still gave and blessed someone else.  And I think that's what this whole couponing thing is about.  Giving, loving and working together.  Not only to help with getting coupons and tips but one another when it get's too tough for you to keep you head above the water in these tough economic times.  To not rely on the government who base's their money and giving on pety things but to rely on one another and base nothing on anything and just give.  To find simplicity in this complicated world in one another.
