Sweeping Through Life

All I need to say is ...... Bath and Body Works . Yippee!!!! I can not wait. I love the semi-annual sale. I usually stock up for birthdays, get my hand soap for my house for the season and I even purchase Christmas gifts. Look on-line for additional coupons that you can use for with all the savings that you earn at the semi-annual sale. Happy shopping!!!

My grocery shopping trip this past weekend, I was able to save 50% off of my bill with my coupons and store card. I did notice that I watched the cashier a little more closely to ensure that all dicounts were given. Each trip I get better and better. I believe that I had a coupon for every item that I purchased except for the fresh fruits and veggies. After last weeks shopping trip, my husband asked me," Are you bringing any more food home? Our freezers are full." I said "Good. We do not have to purchase any meat for a few months." While he was stating that, I was  thinking that we have another freezer in the garage that is not full if I need the additional space. I know when watching the couponing shows, they have their stockpiles all over the house, but I am not going to let mine get that way. I have a few shelves in the basement for my items. I know saving money is great, but you need to modify your purchases for what space that you have for your home. I contin...

I am a beginner to this semi-extreme couponing. I have tried over the past month to have a coupon for everything that I purchase. The only thing that I have not been that successful at was finding coupons for meat. The things that I have found useful to add to my stockpile are the following: Pasta Salad Dressing Mustard Ketchup Deodorant Lotion Laundry Detergent Granola Bars Barbecue Sauce Pasta Sauce Rice or noodle mixes All of these items I have had really good coupons for. I have found having these items very convenient in the home and easily within reach. The great thing about these items is that they have a long shelf life. The other thing that I have in my stockpile is lots, lots and lots of cereal. I am currently looking in adding more sports drinks to the stock pile for summer. Have you created a stock pile? If so, what is in it? I have noticed that since Extreme Couponing has taken effect, some grocery stores have changed their coupon poli...
