Clipping coupons really does make a difference.
Today we went shopping for household items, but before we left I had everything written down -
and everything had a coupon.
We ended up saving $24.11 - and it was so easy!
I also finished the book above - which took me longer than I care to admit (and it's only 100 pages).
Don't get me wrong - I'm a pretty quick reader but I just haven't been making time for reading.
But now that I'm on a little "summer break" from my online courses - I've decided to make time.
And with my new library card in hand - there's no limit to the books I can read -
Well, after Wyatt goes to bed.
And my sweet hubby brought me home flowers today.
Don't you just love surprise flowers?
I really caught myself a good one.
So, now that I've caught the reading bug - I need recommendations for other great books to read!
Here are a few books I've come across that seem to be either being raved about - or just seem interesting.

I'm starting Bringing Up Bebe tonight - I've heard amazing things about it!
Have you read any Emily Giffin books? Or American Wife? Both VERY GOOD! Also A Bump in the Road and Not ready for mom jeans were great as was momzillas. All 3 of those are hysterically funny.
ReplyDeleteNo I haven't heard of her books but I will definitely jot down her name to see if my library has any! Thanks! I've heard great things about a bump in the road - thank you for your picks!
DeleteDon't you just love saving money? Such a great feeling! Sounds like you have you a good man, love. Currently I'm reading Fifty Shades of Grey but I hear Bloom is such a great read. It is definitely next on my reading list. Also, I hear A Bump in the Road and Wild by Cheryl Strayed is a great read as well.

I do! I love saving those extra dollars - its nice to be able to find and use coupons for things you need! Let me know what you think of 50 shades - I've heard mixed reviews! Bloom and a bump in the road are officially on my list! Thanks so much for the comment :-)
DeleteAdorable blog!!! It's always great to save some moolah. I'm not the greatest at clipping coupons but when I am, it makes a HUGE difference. Have a beautiful day!! xoxo :)))
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I need to stay consistent with coupon clipping too - its easier for me to go online, find what I need, and then clip them - I love target.com 's coupons for that reason! Hope you are having a great week!
DeleteI bought 60 cans of tomatoes yesterday..I know 60..but it saves me $3 a gallon on gas!! we will be eating tomatoes at every meal.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a kroger in your area? We collect points there and then redeem them for cash off gas - we just filled up the other day and payed $2.99 per gallon! Is that how you saved?
DeleteLoved the Hunger Games trilogy, but couldn't get interested in Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hunger games sounds like such a good read - and I haven't seen the movie yet so my vision won't be clouded. I hate watching the movie before reading the book! Thanks grammy goodwill!
DeleteI love using coupons!!! I leave them in the inserts until a deal comes up and then I find it and clip it :) Do you use any sites to help you plan? I really like onefrugalchick.com and raininghotcoupons.com - let me know if you know of any other really good ones!
ReplyDeleteAnd I loved the Hunger Games books!! Must read in my humble opinion :)

DeleteWhat a blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Clara!
DeleteI finshed all three Fifty Shades Of Grey books if youd like to borrow them. They arent the mostwell writen books Ive ever read, but the story is pretty interesting. I finished them in less than a week of purchasing them... Let me know! xoxo
ReplyDeleteYes! That would be amazing! I am the same way with books - when I find one I like I read it in like a day! lol :)
DeleteI just read He Will Cary You by Angie Smith and it was amazing. One of the best books I've ever read.
ReplyDeleteOh - I will have to check that one out too! Thanks Amanda! :)
DeleteThis post is full of awesomeness! I wish I could stick to a list and use coupons, It might cut down on the ten trips to the store I make during the week. I'm reading Unbroken right now, it had amazing reviews and so far so good. 50 shades and Hunger Games were both awesome.
