My first Coupn shop...

So after a few days of prep, consisting of organizing the coupons going through the flyers to hit the deals I left the house yesterday ready for my first coupon shop, it was amazing Looking at hair products I saw a lady looking at hair colours low and behold i Had coupons for those to, since I don't use hair color (My best friend is my stylist lol) I gave her all my coupons that right there made me feel good. Anyway here is a list of what I got at the end I will write down what I saved.

2 cans of Similac Sensitive regular price 28.97 on sale for 24.97 = 49.94
6 jars of Heinz baby food .80 =  4.80
1 tub of Chapman's Frozen Yogurt 3.99 = 3.99
Two Cans Satin care shave gel + one secret deoderant = 7.79 - 7.00 in coupons .79
two crest whitening toothpaste = 1.99 = 2.98 - $1 coupon = 1.98
two old spice deorderant 2.57 = 5.14 - $3 coupon = 2.14 - $1 coupon 1.14

total beofore coupons and discount = 74.62
after coupons =  62.62
minus 10% and pharmacy bucks
total came to 49.91
total savings of 24.61

not bad for a first trip out pretty exciting and now I'm waiting until my next stash of coupon's come in the mail, and for hte new weekly flyers.

2011 the first day (or middle of the night)

So here it is 12:20am on 1/1/11, so before I go to sleep figured I would make my first post of this year and add some of my goals for the year not resolutions I don't believe in those but goals things I hope to accomplish, and want to work hard at so here goes don't worry it's not that long.
1. Shop with only or mostly coupons to save money
2. Quit smoking and get healthy
3. Not stress out over every tiny thing (if you read this blog long enough you will know how bad I am lol)
4. Get out of debt
5. Get married (it is planned and the date is set just need to do it)
that is all I can think of for now but if I think of more I will add them but yes those are my main goals

So Happy New Year everyone, here's to hoping 2011 brings good things to you and yours.

My first post

Well it's true I have entered the world of blogging, why? I don't know really why does anyone do anything?

Although one of the main reasons is to have somewhere to keep track of another new adventure of mine the world of Couponing, yup that is true to, I am going to spend this year saving money paying off debt etc. So I figured I would have somewhere to document my adventures in Coupons, and also maybe show other people how easy it is. Yes I know I am a few hours early since I wasn't going to start this until 2011 but you know close enough. alright so that is the jist of it for now, pretty much couponing, along with the adventures of mi vida loca, I will intro myself and family in another post and hopefully learn how to seperate catergories etc.
