Ohhh you all know by now how much I love BOB's $10/$10 coupons!!! I 99% of the time give the Q to my daughter and let her pick out something $10 worth or w/e she can make $10 with... today she headed to the shoe rack like a normal girl lol. They had a TON of twinkle toes... she found a pair she liked Orig. $39.99 on clearance for $20.00 so $10 with my coupon... Plus we had just turned in a ton of clothes at Once Upon a Child so I used $10 from that money to pay the difference -- soooo FREEEE!

I ran into CVS to get a card today, and scanned at the coupon machine. I got a long strip of coupons -- i cant remember what they are off hand, but the one i used was the $2 off Huggies Wipes -- The diaper bag hard case size is $2.19, so .19!!! Not bad!!! Just thought id let you all know! =) Im sure there is prob a better regular size wipe deal but it was good enough for me!!

I made this 3 years ago, when it was miserably hot out, and i was 6.5 months pregnant, so they didn't come out as planned, but still looked good! This time, it was miserably hot still, just minus the pregnancy haha they came out much better!! If you want to try them out this is the site I used RECIPE!  However for some reason it doesn't tell you about the "mustard" & "ketchup"... all you need is Vanilla frosting - split it in half and put red food color in one and yellow in the other till you feel you've reached the right color [this time my "ketchup" could have been a little darker but i ran out of food coloring]. Also i used cinnamon on top cause of course while i was staring at the Sesame seeds at the grocery store i told myself i def had some at home...LIES!

Ran into one of my CVS stores today. The manager that always comments on my couponing was there, along with another cashier. A customer in front of me was using a bunch of coupons [not the most amazing savings, but saving money is saving money]... him and his friend started talking about "this coupon hoarding show on TLC". Me and my husband were in line laughing to each other, but minding our own business! So next was my turn... The cashier was like WOW great deal! I said ah that's nothing haha, then we all started talking about Extreme Couponing. Dave and I were both filling them in on the do's and dont's and how the show isn't all its cracked up to be! They couldn't believe it! I even got  to fill them in on some saving tips they could use for themselves... they were more than impressed! We talked for a good 15 minutes while there were no customers. As we were leaving the manager said, come here and do your shopping anytime, you guys are great, we like y...
