Little Declan. I love this face he kept giving me when I would point the camera at him. His sort of smile I guess!
Carrie and Carter. Eating a bell on a string, why not?
And Declan crashed in the middle of eating his dinner. Too exhausted to finish I guess!
We had a quiet evening at home. Just mostly watched TV until midnight, but in good company! Thanks for coming down to visit guys!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You all may have watched a show on TLC called Extreme Couponing. If you didn't, you missed out. Try to catch a re-run. At first I thought, those people are NUTS! Then I thought, those people are SMART! I want to do that! Just on a way smaller scale. I have to admit I have become addicted. I loathe the thought of paying full price for things such as toothpaste, or laundry detergent ever again! Don't worry, I won't be one of those people taking nine carts to the checkout or taking up 4 lanes to check out my items. I am however, going to plan my shopping trips well and take full advantage of my coupons. I started out by getting my Sunday paper last week and cutting out the many coupons I received in there. Then the printables. I haven't picked up my binder to organize them yet, but I will this week. I made my first trip last week to Safeway and took the kids. I was a bit nervous to look like an idiot! I went to buy four boxes of fruit snacks and four boxes of Natures Valley granola bars with eight coupons in tow. In the end I spent $3 for all eight of them! I felt like I got a steal! I am planning on getting more coupons and going back for more tomorrow if I am feeling up to it. I also just went to Walgreens tonight for diaper wipes and came out with a box of wipes, toothpaste, and two boxes of cereal for $3! I know with time I will get better and save tons of money with this! I am planning on building some food storage this way too since we have minimal at this point. I don't really do resolutions per se, but this is my plan for the new year. To cut my grocery budget WAY down and still eat what we like. =)

That is amazing! I don't have cable, so I never get to see such awesome shows, but wow what a steal!!
By the way, I like to look at your blog and see how your little family is. I hope you don't mind--I know it's been so long since we've really been in touch. I hope 2011 is a great year for you! --Adria
Smart girl! I've been thinking about getting into it as well.. but not to the extreme! :) You should check out myfrugaladventures.com she has great deals everyday, multiple times a day. There are awesome ones for safeway, but we don't have one in Idaho! Check it out though!
Thanks Rissa! I will check it out. I have been looking at thekrazycouponlady.com. She has a deal every hour or two. It is actually addicting. Haha.
WE TOTALLY WATCHED IT AND LOVED IT! Where did you get the clipables?
