It feels so good when you get home and realize everything you actually got. Chris makes fun of me because I do get so excited. If you don't already use coupons you should go to sheshopssmart.blogspot.com. They walk you through everything and it really isn't hard at all!

HA HA! this picture makes me want to go grocery shopping! But the lady never called me back, I might need to just call her again. I cant believe this. You are like me i get so excited when i save money. Derrick makes fun of me cause i make him guess how much it cost me. That is his clue I got it on sale :) Put some picture of your kids up from halloween Dying to see how cute they looked.
