Book Sneeze

I just finished my first book from BookSneeze.com, a website that sends you free books to read and review. I read Buried Alive: The True Story of Kidnapping, Captivity, and a Dramatic Rescue by Roy Hallums. I loved it! I am getting ready to post my first review and can't wait to get my next book.

Preparedness...

...I am using my couponing addiction to build my family's food/home storage. This is something that I feel very strongly about. I hope to add a few posts now and then specific to preparedness. To start out...here is a great starter sample (I'm not sure what is included). But, one of my favorite sayings is: If you start now you won't have to work as hard to keep up! Also, if you have a favorite preparedness tip, I'd love to hear it!

Tip #1: Water Storage
Instead of throwing out your used detergent/bleach bottles, fill them with water and store in a seperate location from your drinking water. This water can be used for cleaning or flushing toilets in case of a power outage...Thanks Susan.

let me know what you think...

hope to share...

I love being a stay-at-home mom, but I have been feeling like I don't contribute enough...I know, as if cleaning, cooking, doctoring, playing, teaching, driving, shopping aren't enough. I came across some very inspiring websites a few months ago that I have used to greatly decrease our spending! I am able to purchase items that I would not even think about because of our small spending budget.

Yesterday I purchased...
(2) All Small & Mighty, 50 oz
(1) Jumbo pack Huggies diapers
(2) Benefiber, 6.4 oz & 90 dose
(2) Quaker Oats, 18 oz
(2) Lubriderm Ointment, 1.75 oz
(2) Bic Soleil, 6 pk
(2) Windex Wipes, 28 ct
(1) Shout, 30 oz
(1) Theraflu, 6 ct
(1) Viva paper towels
(3) Kleenex, 184 ct
(1) Draino, 32 oz
(1) GE Softwhite Lightbulbs, 2 pk
(2) Aveeno Shampoo, 10.5 oz
(1) Aveeno Bodywash, 12 oz
and
(1) Coke, 2 liter

After all coupons and rebates I paid $5.71!!!

Not bad, huh?

A note about rebates...yes, you do have to pay first. But, I think they are more than worth the time. I especially like the Rite-Aid Single Check Rebates because you just enter your receipt info online and they send you a check.

My hope with this blog is to inspire someone else to be able to cut back on spending. Our family goal is to become debt free and purchase a travel trailer (one of our favorite activities). With the money that I am able to save with coupons and rebates, I think we can do this rather quickly!!!

Happy couponing!!!
