ENTER TO WIN

So I'm going a buzzreport for Chilis with their Guiltless Grill. Their GG menu includes items that are under 750 calories, so they are good for dieters.
I have a set of 2 FREE GG entree coupons to give away. It's like a free date night :)
All you have to do is comment on this blog entry and I'll contact you to get your address :)

PS: if you're involved in this campaign, PLEASE don't enter. Let someone else get a freebie :)

I know this is unrelated

but WAHOOO!!
I FINALLY lost the .2 lbs I've been busting butt for the last 3 days, and I'm down into the 142.xx range. I was dying to break out of 143.


well that weird. it cuts off the right side. Anyways, it just says "14lbs" as the end goal.

reuse it

Lily is outgrowing a lot of her clothes, so i've taken to re purposing some clothing *I* have that would make some cute outfits for her. I made her a dress this week that was super cute on her, as well as a pair of thermal PJs. I plan on trying something new today, so I'll share it when it's done.

I was going to do couponing this morning, but I'm out of ink, and don't feel like breaking our PJ day pact of not getting dressed in order to go buy more. So tomorrow, I'll pack up my empties, take them to staples for my $3 credit, and go buy some new ink. Ugh.

big news on our frugal year

we're about to break our frugal year.
we put an offer on a house today.
When we finally get it (which we will... i'm trying to think positive, LOL) i'll be sure to post pics.
But for now I'll just say it's a beautiful 2 story brick home in denton county with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.
We really hope it goes through, so please keep us in your prayers.


On other news, I had a successful trip to Albertsons last night.
Our bill was $102 and change after a $57 and change savings (we used coupons for EVERY item we bought except for 3: Laundry soap (i'm allergic to most, and the kind i need to use doesn't have any current coupons), bread, and poptarts (brendan's favorite).
Every other item had atleast one coupon for it, and several items were free. YAY! :)


Also today, I got my coupon package in the mail that I'd posted about before on here. Looks like some pretty good coupons in there!


Also, we'll be starting our savings account fresh in a few days. We took Jr's car in for some brake work that needed done, and it ended up costing us over $1300. Ugh.

Another successful day

Today feels good. I just paid off another $680, which officially paid off 1 more credit card completely, and made a good dent in another. Yeehaw :)

That's a 90% savings

Softsoap - normally $2.79
Palmolive Oxy Clean Plus - normally $1.69
J&J Baby Wash - normally $4.49
J&J Baby Lotion - normally $4.49
Normal Total would be $13.46 or $14.54 with tax

My total today at CVS: $1.46

My deal on shoes!I

posted on DAM asking if anyone had any gently used 6-12m Robeez for a girl that they wanted to get rid of. No one did.
So I looked for sales (they are nearly $30 a pair normally!) and couldn't find any.
Today someone hooked me up!
On sale for $16.77
