White Cloud Coupons

I wrote White Cloud toilet paper about how much I liked their product and they sent me some $2 off coupons. Planning to use those on my shopping trip today. Haven't had much time for coupon shopping this month so haven't got many bargains. I do need to share about one great one that I got earlier this month though! I had written Bar S and they sent me a $2 VIP certificate. I bought 5 packages of hot dogs on sale for 88 cents each for a total of $4.40 and used the VIP certificate to bring it down to $2.40, then I was able to use a couple of $1 off 2 coupons to bring my total down to 40 cents for 5 packages of hot dogs! So, you don't need doubling to get extreme deals! You just have to be willing to look for the sales and combine it with coupons. Even without the VIP certificate, I would have got 5 packages for $2.40! That's pretty darn good!

Happy Birthday Tom!

Today's blog post is dedicated to my wonderful, sweet, kind, and understanding husband Tom. I wish I could be with you on your birthday, but I can't wait to go out together on Saturday!

My evaluator finally showed up on July 11th, my first day back from "staycation". The kids were crazy, but I guess it went okay. She was here for 6 hours! I won't know any official results for 6-8 weeks, but I am just glad it's over.

This week has been VBS at our church. I'm leaving here everyday around 4:45, getting home about 9:30 or so, and then getting up and doing it again. I'm driving the bus and Tasha's riding with me to help monitor the kids, plus one of my child care families is helping transport the overflow. Plus I'm helping teach the 5th & 6th grade class. Needless to say, I am TIRED! But it has been a wonderful week and I've got to know some really great kids.
