Blogger Burnout

I swear to my goodness, I am just totally sick of all the get rich blogging stuff I am seeing everywhere. When I started this little ole blog, it was to help people learn how to use coupons, nothing more, nothing less.... then I decided to try and make money off the site, which ended up being more trouble and more time consuming than my family and life would allow... I just wonder, how in the world do all these people have hours and hours to set at the computer and send out all of their "advertising" skits to get people to click, go to, and try to get free the stuff they advertise, only to end up finding out its all a gimmick... never receive anything in the mail from any of the things (or at least I have not). This is why I hardly ever blog anymore, and rarely come to blogger anymore, it sickens me at all the gimmicks going on... when you see one ad, you see a dozen of them from everyone you follow trying to get their penny from the ad too... shesh, enough already for me!!

Wal-Mart finds today

I found Bryer Ice Cream on sale today at our local Wal-mart for 2.25 a half gallon. -.75 MQ that made for some really cheap (or cheap in my book at least) Ice cream.

They also had Bar- S Brand hotdogs for .88 - 1.00 for 2 MQ = .76 for two packs of hotdogs.

Also got some Fleshmans Yeast 3 packs for 1.13 - .40 MQ made it .73 cents for a 3 pack.


Just wanted to share those things with you all because I thought it was a good buy for WalMart.

Also, I seen two other ladies in the same line as me shopping with coupons, One of the ladies mentioned she had a blog she read that told her where to go to print coupons, I just wondered if it was one of the local East Tennessee gals!!

Need some help here please

Hey guys, as you all probably know, I am still fairly new at the whole couponing thing. Heres the deal, over the past two weeks I have been trying to collect some ECB's to try the CVS thing. Now I have (1) 4.99 and (3) 3.99 ECB's and am wondering about what I should do this week to try and use them. I want to use them for things that will give me more ECB's and not cost alot. I really want to get to be able to do it, like Kristie at Insomniac Theater does, but not sure if I can get THAT good....

If any of you out there have any help to offer, please leave me a message cause I am so confused this morning with it..

Leave me a comment on what your shopping list is this week for CVS Maybe?? Please!

I really Love my Wags!!

I just got home from Wags, (had to take a script in to be filled for my son so decided to shop a little while I waited) and I had one of the best experiences to date.

I started out buying one of the Edge shave gels on sale for 2.99 which printed me a RR for 3.00, I then used that to purchase the fiber choice tabs and a bag of chex mix ( on sale for .99 and 2.59 for the fiber tabs) and then got back 2.50 RR for them. So, all in all I got 10 shave gels, 10 fiber choice tabs, and 10 bags of chex mix for just over 18.00 OOP and came back home with a 2.50 RR for next week, and the total of all that stuff before RR savings was like 66.00 so I think I had a good day... I am happy at least, so thats all that matters!
