We are forced to find ways to be more frugal. I have been doing coupons for a while now (as many of you know) and now I am trying to squeeze a little tighter and get a little more creative.
I have gone back to this website that I got from Lindsay awhile ago and requested coupons from these companies. I did it before and I got several coupons and samples in the mail. It is super easy if you use an automatic form filler-outter :)
Companies to contact for coupons
Here are some letters that I just copy and paste and change out the product names.
I was wondering if you offer any samples or coupons for the Scrubbing Bubbles cleaning products. I love to use them but I am operating on a small budget.
Thank you,

I was wondering if you offer any samples or coupons for your yogurt. I love to keep it in stock at my house, but I am operating on a small budget. Anything you can do would be great!
Thank you,

My husband is a huge fan of your Low Carb Monster drink. I was wondering if you offer any samples or coupons for them. We are operating on a small budget and anything you can do would be great!
Thank you,

I also joined this RSS feed so that I know about the latest deals at several stores. Stretching a Buck
I also found this site: Penny Pincher Gazette and it has the circulars for about 5 local stores which you can use to make a shopping list (it specifies which stores, prices, and products). It also has coupons that you can print out.

That's right, folks. We're in love :)
Here are a few pictures from Kirby's wedding. I was the matron of honor :)
Cleaning House
This is what I have been working on ALL today. Looks nice, huh?
I did almost everything (including moving the closet rod/shelf up higher and adding two shelves in the bottom) by myself. Jordan helped tighten 3 screws that I couldn't get any tighter. lol. I am so proud of myself.
Free things that I just don't need anymore!
An old gift basket - cotton smell - has a scrubbie thing, lotion, and soap
2 razr chargers (is that how you spell it?) - I could NOT get a good picture, but you can kind of see the plug.
Headphones with microphone on it - bought it a couple of years ago and used it once... it looks like brand new
Computer camera with built in microphone - looks like new also
3 cds: "Musical Massage" - I used to fall asleep to these all the time - they are so relaxing - "Renewing Rainfall" "Rainy Day State of Mind" and "Tranquil Streams"
A couple baskets
A couple of plastic drawer things (if you want to give me a couple bucks for these, that would be awesome but there's no obligation)

Hello Friends!
Just thought that I would update since it HAS been a month :)
I am in summer school at ECU so that I can graduate next May. I am taking three classes each semester and so far, it seems like it is going to be chaos! I am expected to spend 25 hours each week for each course! Dude. I hope I can do it!
I am pet sitting for Ivy. This is the first time that I have ever done this but I'm enjoying it. It is nice to see Ivy also :)
Budget-This month Jordan and I are trying to stick to a strict budget. So far, I think we've flopped. We started using envelopes and then moved away from them and just got receipts to put in the envelopes and now I don't even know what we're doing. I just have a pile of receipts. The good news is that I will have an OK idea of what we have been spending and where after this month because I can look at all of the receipts!
Funeral-We had a Celebration of Life for my Great Uncle Bubba on Tuesday night. It was nice and there was lots of yummy food afterwards. I was really happy to get to spend time with my family that I don't get to see very often. I got to see my nephew and my sister, dad, mom, grandma, cousins, aunts, uncles.... It was really nice.
Beach-Yesterday, I went to the beach with Jean (Aunt), Leilah (Cousin), Adam (Cousin), Jessi (Sister), Wyatt (Nephew), April (Cousin), Donna and her two kids (Jessi's Friends). It was really fun. I miss my cousins :(
Oh! My sunburn is peeling! Yuck! It has been so long since I have gotten a sunburn that I forgot what it was like. I definitely hate this. I will be a religious sun screen user now. (P.S. Is it possible to get tan when using sunscreen? Anyone know?)
