It's official! Lately, I've became a little coupon clippin' fanatic! and I like it! I get so excited about how much money I can save! It makes me feel so good to know that I can save some of Jared's hard earned money. I want to be able to help him out the best I can. :) Since I don't bring in any income, this is the best way! I've dabbled in coupons before, but nothing real amazing. I'd get a coupon for something I didn't even need and go buy it. Now that isn't really saving is it?! I've decided that this time around, I'll only clip the coupon if I know it's something we'll need or use on a weekly/bi-weekly basis.
Oh how I want to be such a better wife and mother. Being sick this first trimester has shown me how valuable my time is and how much I can actually use it wisely! I'm thankful for that!
Does anyone out there cook and freeze meals? I stumbled across this on the website moneysavingmom.com and wondered how that would work. Could I actually plan and organize that? Make a system that would work with my personality? I don't know, but it's definitely something I want to check into. Especially with a second child on the way! :)
If you haven't already heard about these money saving websites, here are a couple that a S.S. class at church passed along to me! (btw I absolutely love what this S.S. class is doing!)

Sarah has given us so many great grocery shopping/money saving ideas! I am loving our Sunday school class! I am so glad you heard about the websites, too! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the point you made about clipping only things you know you need! They have always got me that way!! & I freeze soups, chili, and just about anything we have left over (if i know we wont eat it the next day).. I have always bought a rotisseri chicken/or cooked one myself & made several different meals out of that one bird! :)
