Seeing that we are under quarantine at the Mills house I thought I would do this blog of one of my favorite things...coupons! This past year I have been using coupons but I feel I have plenty of room to improve. Maybe not to the extent of the show Extreme Couponing but a good medium. I feel that God has blessed Keith and I so much that I need to be careful with those blessings in return. I recently joined the Coupon Mom blog to help me get more focused and organized but I still have plenty to learn. I print coupons from coupons.com and of course cut them from the paper. I only use coupons for things I need not just to use the coupons. I usually save around $15.00 in coupons in a month but I know my savings could be better. I usually don't shop at Kroger but after reading the coupon mom blog I have started checking out their sale ads. I also found out that you can add coupons to your Kroger card too! Does anyone else feel a little overwhelmed when it comes to the whole couponing way of life? Please share your thoughts or words of wisdom with me! Oh BTW did anyone else see the Extreme Couponing show on TLC? Keith and I were amazed!
Hope everyone enjoyed the snow day but I am ready for life to be back to normal! I don't like being sick and I especially don't like it when my family is sick. Praying for a quick recovery for us all. Praying a hedge of protection around Ethan that he continues to stay healthy along with his caregivers (my parents) who came and rescued him yesterday.

All hail the new coupon queen! I have fully surrendered. I just don't feel like I was that good to begin with (at grocery couponing)... now give me a run at Kohl's with a coupon/sale/clearance/Kohls card and I can be pretty impressive! I just don't feel like I understood or had time to organize the grocery ones to my liking... and I always was tempting to buy what I didn't need. Maybe I should just give you my grocery list! (lol, kidding)
You are doing so good at blogging- especially blogging while sick! That earns you extra points! And I like that "hedge around Ethan". I don't think I have ever prayed for a hedge before, so that is kind of fun! Hope yall feel better!
Man, this comment is so long it could be a blog post itself!
I'm so sorry y'all are sick! We're quarantined too... Eli and Sam just got back from the doctor's office but so far Sarah Grace is okay:)
Praying y'all feel better soon and that Ethan stays well.
I'm sort of hot and cold with coupons... I really was doing well with keeping them all organized and using them to get good prices by buying things that were also on sale, but then some pregnancy stuff happened and then I had a baby. I'm ready to get back into it but am going to try really hard not to buy things that we don't need just because they're a great price.
SouthernSavers.com and MoneySavingMom.com are really good resources I've found.
