coupon stash

January 16th, 2008 at 05:40 am

The kids had a 4H meeting tonight for their horse project. I took all my coupons from the Sunday paper and managed to get them all cut out, plus I also educated a mom on how to use them with the Walgreen ad and Dollar General ad to get free shampoo, toothpaste and such. I think she was going to go home and dig her coupons out of the trash!! I haven't got very far, but so far it looks like I will get some free ajax and purex. We don't like ajax, so I will take it into church for the kitchen there.

I did't get my change rolled either, so that is now on tomorrows list.

I did put off going to the store. DH thought we were getting low on food (HA HA), but I came up with stuff for stirfry for supper. I also found some sausage in the freezer, so tomorrow I think we will have sausage and bisquits and gravy for either lunch or supper. I also found another small package of beef in the back of one of the refrigerator freezers, so I think I will mix that with some ground venison and make a meatloaf for Thursday.
I also found a chicken (behind some veggies on the veggie shelf) so I put it back on the poultry shelf where it belongs. We just finished off some homemade chicken and noodle soup, so it will be about a week before I do chicken again. We also have a ton of okra to eat from the garden as well. Its already breaded and frozen.

Next month we plan to butcher, so I am trying to empty out the freezers as much as possible before hand. It will make room for the new meat and will less in them I can take a more accurate inventory of what we have left.

Only money spent today was to buy a gallon of milk, and to top off my fuel tank in the car. During the winter I like to keep it full for 2 reasons: 1, it gives me extra weight in my little car should I get stuck, and 2, will keep me running longer -with the heater on-should I get stuck.

DD1 was fairly frugal. She found a website where she could rent textbooks, so she did that this term. They arrived in the mail today. Much cheaper than buying them.
