Frugal Friday, sort of.

Sometimes being frugal takes up a lot of time.  I have been to the grocery store 2 times this week to get great sales.  Luckily the drug stores didn't have anything I needed so that was 2 separate trips I didn't have to make.  I have also spent a fair amount of time clipping coupons, re-doing my coupon organizer( I will post more on that Monday) and sending in rebates as well as researching more great deals and signing up for freebies on-line. (by the way this weeks freebies were really awesome, I'll post pics on Sunday).  I have enjoyed planting my vegetable garden as well as a few annuals around the yard.  I now have some veggies sprouting and I know with a little fertilizer my annuals will fill in nicely. (I, of course, buy the cheapest annuals in 6 packs and spread them out, more bang for your buck)  All while taking care of my daughter, cooking all meals from scratch and maintaining the house.

This being said, I have to cut back somewhere.  That just happens to be my blogging and soap making.  Once I get things in order I imagine I will be able to make more time for my hobbies.  We all have to sacrifice somewhere and I would say it is sure worth my time to keep saving money!!

Happy Frugal Friday!

True Lemon

I just got a great freebie from True Lemon in the mail today!!  A month or so ago I had posted on another site about True Lemon and how great the samples were and they rewarded me with a pack of 20-some packets.  What a neat company!!  I love to throw a packet in my water bottle for a natural guilt free treat.  Thanks True Lemon!!

If you haven't tried them yet, go here for a free sample and coupon.

Caution; coupon disaster!!

Bag of coupons, receipts, rebates, files...

I got so disorganized over the past month and it really snowballed!!  I have a huge bag full of all my coupons and rebates.  I have been busy and have not clipped recently nor have I sent in my rebates in a few weeks!!  Yikes!

Everything laid out, ready to tackle!!

I want to see what everyone else uses for coupon organization, as well as what to do with those rebates and receipts!!  I will have everything back in ship-shape in the next few days(God willing) and will share my finished product then.
