Betsy quote

Our neighbor friend who owns a big dog asked us why we didn't have a dog. I mentioned that "we are not dog people". When this didn't satisfy her, Betsy chimed in "Adam and Andy are enough of a responsibility". You don't need a dog when you have an Adam and Andy.

This time of year inspires me to make crafts. I covered our old ugly cork board in our office. Once side for Ken and the other for me.

Adam quotes

While I was filling up the sink to wash dishes by hand Adam excliamed, "Mom you're wasting water!" "If you waste water, Alaska will melt!"

While Adam was getting a hair cut at Great Clips , "I just can't take it anymore!"

where I get satisfaction

So the reciept didn't turn out, but it said I saved $222.00 at Albertsons. I told the cashier my goal was to pay under $200 after using my coupons. I made it to $144.00 for all this food. And you don't see the fresh vegetables, 4 1/2 lbs. of london broil and tons of yogurt I bought hiding there. It probably took about 2 hours in preparation and an hour and a half to buy. I used my ad, newspaper coupons and 2 web sites: pinchingyourpennies.com and hip2save.blogspot.com. I also sometimes print coupons on coupons.com. It feels like this is my new job now. Ken is grateful to start putting away money in savings now.
