Let's Coupon!

I LOVE to coupon. Probably too much. I can see a sale and remember a coupon from a month back that is about to expire and use it. I have a coupon binder. YES, I'm one of those! I'll probably do a post about it too. Anyways this particular trip was at Family Dollar AND the first time I got something for FREE! Both of those packs of Zyrtec's were free. They cost $6.00. I had an online coupon for $5.00 off. & a in-store coupon of a $1.00 off. So I got them for free! The suave deodorant was a quarter! The Dove deodorant + spray was $3.85. There was an in-store coupon for $1.00 off and there was a coupon in last Sundays paper. So it was $2.10 for both! The glade twin pack plug-in oil was on sale for $4.50 and I had an online coupon for $1.00 off. So they were $3.50, which you can't find them that cheap :] I paid a little over $5.00 before taxes for this stuff! I saved $16.00! AWESOMENESS!

Take care of your dog and your kid!

Okay, So I have neighbor and she has a little yip yap dog that is ALWAYS barking at something or someone. Which I can really get over, that's no big deal. But today she was outside with he son and that dog. So I get in my car, go to leave and that dog comes and attacks my car, while running around. While I'm getting to the end of my drive inch, by inch the dog is STILL chasing me! Really? & this whole time she's over there cleaning her car out. Finally, I begin to honk my horn and she decides to come get the dog. In my opinion, if she loved that dog at all she would have had it on a leash, or at least paid attention to what the dog was doing!

Also, I invited her, her son & husband to Kenneth's 4th birthday party. Her son is a year older then what Kenneth is and they seem to really get along. First, they were late. Which if you don't know me, that's very annoying to me. Then they get there and all the kids are playing. Great. But then her and her husband disappear. If all they other parents are there with their children, why weren't you? It just blows my mind. They also seem very closed-minded and judgemental people by their facebook statuses.

So there's my rant, haha :]

Bittersweet Birthday :]

Today was my sweet little man's birthday! I've been sad and excited at the same time. I can't believe that he is already 4! It just doesn't seem like there has been enough time for it to be his 4th birthday! anyone else ever feel like that? I also had a hard time with my 19th birthday. I feel SO old. Like I just turned 29 instead of 19. I was telling people that I probably would have a nervous breakdown when I turn 20, ha ha. It just doesn't seem real that I'm going to be 20 in years old. It just seems to unreal. I'm sure ill be over it soon. It just seems crazy now :]

My Rambling 16 & Pregnant Post.

I feel like this show is accurate in some ways and not so accurate in others. Most of the time I'm left feeling completely sorry for them, well not so much for them but there situation. I've been there done that. I wasn't 16 & Pregnant. I was 14 & Pregnant. Yeah, you read that right. 14.I Didn't know too much of what i doing, nor the person I thought I "loved". Long story short, I gave birth 5 days after my 15th birthday. I was a 15 year old single mom. I had become a mom before I could drive, get a job, or even go to the movie theater and see a rated R movie! It still kind of blows my mind at how young I really am sometimes. Anyways back on subject. Tonight's episode somewhat hit home. Just like Allie had nobody, I felt the same way. all teen moms ever get are dirty looks and stereotypical judgements. you might get lucky and someone takes "pitty" on you. but who the hell wants your pitty because the descions  i made lead me down this path. I truly believe EVERYTHING happens for a reason, you may not know in the beginning but you'll figure it out in the end.

To Coupon or Not to Coupon? That is the Question!

Coupon:a certificate or ticket entitling the holder to a specified right, as redemption for cash or gifts, reduced purchase price, etc.

What a fancy description for a paper in magazines and newspapers that saves you money. Do you coupon? I do, have been for a month or two (in full swing) and love it. What is there not to love about saving money? Recently I have made a few purchase that I am quite proud of :]
Family Dollar:
-I've got a Swiffer Wet Jet for $15 it retails $22.
-2 Tide Stain release in wash booster 15ct. for $2.25 retails $8. 1 Gillette Fusion razor for $4 retails $9. 1 Soft Scrub bleach cleanser & spray. B1G1 deal paid $3 for both, they retail $3 each. 2 Degree Fine Fragrance deodorants that came with free sprays. B1G1 deal paid $3.85 for both, the retail $3.85 each. Colgate Total toothpaste for 24¢ retails $2.00. Reduced for .98¢.

I Paid $13.33, this would have cost me $32.50 before coupons and sales. My savings were $19.17. Ahhh-Maaaa-Zinggg :] As well as this is the most I have ever saved in one shopping trip!
CVS:
1 Pantene relaxed & natural shampoo & 1 conditioner. They were on sale for 2/$6.97. I had $3 off of 2 coupon. So I paid 2/$3.97! I bought 1 pantene fragile to strong shampoo & 1 conditioner and got the same deal, as well as getting $2.00 in Extra Care Bucks! Also, I bought 1 herbal essences hyrdalicious shampoo & 1 conditioner, they were on sale for 2/$4.97. I had a coupon for $1/1, I used a coupon for each and got them 2/$2.97! To top it off I bough a 12pk. of cokes, they were on sale for 5/$13. I also had a coupon for $5 off a $10 or more purchase.

All together I paid $9.63. It would have cost me $22.63 before coupons. That's a savings on $13! Overall, I think I did pretty good in these two trips. The savings are great and extra money in my pocket, which who doesn't want a little more of? Hope you might try to start coupon'ing now, if you don't already!
