Coupon help.

Hello internet world and friends, here is the websites I promised for couponing.

http://www.southernsavers.com   My favorite since I live in TX and it has the stores I am used to going to.
htttp://www.couponmom.com  My other favorite...shows you the items you can get and where they come from. You can look it up by store and it shows you the biggest savings first.
http://fabulesslyfrugal.com/category/video   Videos/Free Tutorials on couponing plus lots more!
http://thekrazycouponlady.com/
http://www.frugallivingnw.com/
http:///www.mylitter.com more videos, coupon store policies, etc. She lives in the Woodlands, TX and was on extreme couponing. Check out her buy it now price list here (plus other free printables).

Today I put these websites to use, as I am meal planning. If you live in Texas you can get country crock butter for free at Krogers. It all depends on how many computers you have as to how many you can get free (you can only print two per computer) and you have to purchase a total of 10 items from their list, otherwise the butter will be 50 cents each. The coupon is on coupons.com.





Dinner tonight...I am planning Olive Garden's Fettuccine Alfredo...you can find the recipe on their website: http://www.olivegarden.com/Connections-to-Italy/Recipes/Sauces/Alfredo-Sauce/.
I am so excited to try it as I love Alfredo!




Also, I am 3/4 done with my, "Becoming the Women God Wants Me To Be," by Donna Partow. It has been very inspiring... I have almost all of Proverbs 31 memorized because of it, my house is looking cleaner, my family is eating healthier, I do bible study everyday.... there is just so many ideas in that one book. I highly recommend it. You can check it out here on Amazon and read the reviews.

On my next few posts I plan to have a makeover your pantry type challenge...which I will discuss cutting out processed foods, making your own mixes, organizing your pantry, incorporating veggies, etc. I am so looking forward to it as I am still learning about feeding my family healthier, too. I hope you will come back and check it out!

Have a wonderful day and God bless.

PS. My son was watching Umi Zoomi and they said, "What shape is this?" And he said a semi-circle. I looked and that it was. He is only two and he knows all the main shapes, his ABCs, colors, numbers...I am so proud.

COUPON ORGANIZATION

Welcome to my first entry!
My blog is going to be about organizing, living frugal, cleaning, crafts, home management, cooking, the bible and more. In this first entry I would like to show you my new coupon system-I am by no means an extreme couponer but on the occasion I get free items and I am starting to stock up emergency food so coupons are a big help. (Especially when you are on a budget!)

I bought it at Wal-Mart for about 20.00 including the 10 pack dividers which were purchased seperately.

I have them different by months on each divider.

I place the coupons in the proper month after I add the date in which I recieved them because most coupon sites will tell you where a coupon came from by saying SS 01/15 which means Smart Source Jan 15.

I really needed this system because I was having to look through so many just to find the ones I needed and before that I was cutting them all out and using a little divider and again I was searching t see what I had.

DINNER TONIGHT: It is a slow cooker recipe with only three ingredients (plus the toppings for the chicken tacos).



I hope you found this post helpful. Next post I will post some links to very helpful couponing sites. Have a great day!
