I almost feel guilty saying it, but this week was almost back to normal. I know for so many in South Carolina that isn’t the case, but for us normal activities resumed and life was pretty quiet. The only thing not back yet are the roads. With the nearest Bi-Lo and Publix over 50 […]
This has been a long week. I thought last week with an unexpected surgery was crazy… this is another example of don’t put things off thinking that next week will be better. They are all crazy in their own way. We live in Columbia, SC which happens to look a little different than it did […]
This has been one of those weeks that you just can’t plan for. We had a ton on the calendar, but ended up having to cancel everything on the schedule for our daughter, Mary Rose, to have another surgery. It was a tad on the stressful side, but in the end was a huge blessing. […]
This week was my “make no excuses” week of couponing. I normally go to the stores on Wednesday morning, but I had no time to gather coupons before going out. My purpose is to get unadvertised deals, so I still went but bought nothing. Then I decided while typing all the unadvertised deals up that […]
This week I needed to make up for not getting a lot of groceries over the past few weeks. Publix has a great ad, so I decided we would head there. We got over $255 worth of groceries and paid $85 for it before mobile app coupons! Now, if you don’t know me, I’m not […]
This week I kinda went a little over board with the deals at Target. It’s hard for a mama to hold back with diapers and wipe deals. It was a trial though and proof that couponing isn’t always pretty no matter how long you’ve been playing the game. We went in for what I hoped […]
This was an interesting shopping week… I ran out to CVS, Bi-Lo and the Chef’s Store. We grabbed some staple items (bread, milk, produce) from Bi-Lo along with the super fun k-cup sale that is running this week. Then I got free toothpaste at CVS and steak at the Chef Store. Bi-Lo Totals: Total Value […]
This week was the first week of school for us. That doesn’t mean that I round every up and load them in the car, but instead for our homescooling ways it means that I haven’t seen my dining table all week and my sink is filled with dishes (so is the counter too). I did […]
As everyone went back to school this year, we packed up and went on a short vacation. I love heading out the first week of “off-season” and having touristy things to ourselves since everyone is in school. Consider this a big homeschool savings tip, since you can vacation at your own times, then go when […]
