My New "High"

Okay so I have officially become a COUPON CLIPPER!!!

I've always been one to look for sales and bargains, but have never really been big on coupons. I just always figured they were such a huge hassle and it was just more clutter to add to my purse. Well I am happy to say that I am officially a changed woman! Jeff and I went to Costco last night and there was only one...yes count it ONE item that we did not have a coupon for. It was so fun to go around and find things and then realize how much better the price was with the coupon! It was a rush...in the end we saved $53. We had coupons for a lot of cleaning supplies and things that will be VERY helpful when we get working on the Town home. So it's now become a drive of mine to see what kind of deals I can get with coupons...instead of just searching through racks and shelves to find the good deals, sometimes they're right there in the mail/newspaper!

As a couple of side notes, we would like welcome Kent Martin Petersen into the world. He is the brand new son of my cousin Tyler Petersen and his wife Marianne Petersen. Jeff and I had the opportunity to go see them for a few minutes and Kent is just as cute as can be! All three are doing great and are already home.

As the other side note, we have an official close date on our town home. We will be closing on June 10, receiving the keys by the 13th and will start the overhaul/personalization process on the 14th. We are so excited for this HUGE step in our lives, a little intimidated, but excited!

Coupons are awesome! I try to clip them when I can. I love to see the $$ dropping off my total when the coupons are rung up!

Yahoo! You guys have a closing date! Let us know if you want our help overhauling the place...

It can really become addicting to save money. There are some really great sites that tell you what coupons to use at what stores to save the most money. It really is amazing. Congrats and welcome to the club!!
