Keith’s Birthday

Keith’s birthday was back in october, but i am finally getting the pictures up. Sorry!

I woke up early and made him a bluberry muffin cake that he ate by the time i got home from work ( haha)

We met at his mom’s house and headed over for a much longed for dinner at Red Robin. Keith and I have been craving some Red Robin for MONTHS, so we were excited!

The one picture i have that everyone else looks good.. wilson isn’t looking!

Here is us… hahaha

 

Wilson did not want his picture taken.. as you can tell!

Anyways, it was a fun day to ring in Keith’s 24th birthday!

saving this week.. ahh

seriously?????

I paid $13.00 for all this food….

and saved a little over $50.00

If you are needing to save on groceries PLEASE go visit my cousin’s coupon blogging site. Our Bank accounts have been HAPPY ever since i REALLY started couponing. I had always shopped CVS and gotten the great Extra Care Bucks and used clipped coupons at Kroger, but once you learn to “SHOP THE AD” you can see how much you can save.

free in this picture":

frosting, cereal, chexmix and frozen veggies

$1.00 or under:

3lbs bag of apples

fruit chillers

yogurt

pasta noodles

publix hotdogs ( penny item of the week)

 

i could go on and on and on…. Do your self and your bank account a favor and go to my cousins site ok! It normally takes me about 3 hours a week in getting my coupons ready and going to the store and shopping, but for these savings it is worth the time!!!

Couponing

I have always been all into the coupons since I have worked at CVS and have seen first hand how much money you can save using coupons. At CVS it really only helps you with cleaning and beauty products. (I have like 47 thousand razors hahah)

My Cousin Meagan has just recently started a new blog (which is awesome)

Now, All Georgians are about the think i am crazy and I thought it was crazy a few weeks ago but… Publix is the bomb.com place to shop for couponing deals. I have always been a stickler to Kroger since Publix always had much higher prices on items.  My cousins pictures week to week of her deals made me actually try to give Publix a chance. With coupons you can get deals like mine from this week below:

The List of items:

2: Wise Cheese Doodles

2: Stacy’s Pita Chips

2: Shark bites gummies

2: 8 o’clock coffees

2: Healthy Harvest Rotini pasta

2: Contessa Frozen Meals ( Mongolian beef and shrimp jambalaya)

2: Toasters Strudels

6: Old El Paso Taco Mix

2: Coffee Mate Liquid Creamer

2: Hillshire farms smoked Sausage

1:Publix Diet Coke ( No saving just wanted it!)

 

Total Before Sales and Coupons: $67.55
Total saved from sales: $29.30
Store coupons used: $9.50
Manufacturer /Competitor coupons used: $16.68
Total amount saved: $55.48
Total paid after all sales and coupons: $12.07

Yes my friends.. you read correctly. I paid $12.07 for all those goodies up top. AND the Stacy’s pita chips were COMPLETELY FREE, while other items were also close to free as well!

If you are ready to start saving on groceries as well as at other stores please check out Meagans blog. It is neatly organized and easy to read and understand. If you are new to the blogging world / couponing world she will help you save a ton.

I was so excited about my shopping trip I had to let everyone know ASAP!!!!! Thanks Meg for opening my eyes!!!!

Graduation

I just noticed that i never posted about my graduation back in May. The wedding took over most our blog posts, so i thought since we have been slacking in our postings lately i would update from that day.

I am actually the 1st on my Grandmothers side to graduate from College. Which is actually really cool.

It was actually a really nice day in the Sanford Stadium. There was cloud cover all morning so we didn’t burn up the whole time. It did get long towards the end and i kept getting text from my sibings asking “WHEN WILL THIS BE OVER”

 

My dad was extra excited because he graduated from UGA as well as his two sisters. We have a family of bulldog alums on the Sears side of the family. I love my parents sporting their red and black!

 

Here is Keith and I on the big day!

 

 

GOOOOOOO DAWGS SICK’UM!!!!
