LAST DEAL FOR 08 AT KROGER

Here is a great last minute shopping deal for 2008(thanks Lisa)....................

Buy 2 Herbal Essence Shampoo/ Conditioner (use (2) $1.00 coupons that expire today from P&G along with an e- coupon on Kroger's website)= Get 2 for FREE.

Im so excited, because last year at this time I was running out at the last minute for toilet paper (literally) but in 2008 I was introduced to the wonderful world of coupons. I am now so proud to say I am on my way to a well stocked home. ( toiletries, soap, detergents, paper products). Anyone who knows me, knows this is a problem area in my life, mainly because I thought you needed lots of money to stock up on things, boy was I wrong.

It is still so exciting every time I grab a great deal, on items my family use daily. So continue to join me in 2009 for more great deals on items for pennies or FREE.

My resolution for 2009 is to continue to learn all I can about this "coupon game" ! And of course my wish would be happiness and health for my family and I. Have a Blessed New Years Eve, and be safe!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SLACKING LATELY ON MY "COUPONS AND DEALS"

I don't know about you, but this season has me forgetting about "coupons and sales". I love to have all my gifts done by December and avoid the crowds if at all possible. I find myself wrapped up in the season so much I don't want to go to CVS for a sale. That's okay the Christmas season is a time to share with family and friends and anticipate the birth of Christ.

I am running low however on my "stockpiles" because of the lack of grocery shopping I have been doing lately. I need to dive into those piles of coupons on my kitchen table and start going through the ads. I will post later the deals that I come up with.

CHRISTMAS COOKIE EXCHANGE- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

So years ago a friend and myself thought it would be really cool to have a Christmas cookie exchange, but never got around to it. Last year her mother and her put one together and it was such a great time. It is now an annual event and tonight marked the 2nd Christmas cookie exchange. We all bring 10 dozen cookies and 1 dozen for sampling. Then we leave with 10 different dozen of cookies and have ourselves a great time visiting with friends in anticipation of the upcoming weeks before Christmas. It was a great time! What a wonderful way to receive a variety of cookies to share with friends and family or to just have aound your home for the holidays.

So you might want to think about starting a similar tradition with your friends and families. It is an event both my sister and I enjoy. ( Thanks Stacy and Lois for your hard work and wonderful memories!)
