Sunday update
I saved $6.08 in coupons @ Walmart yesterday. We filled a grocery cart there for $139. Dale was pleased, so yay! I'm thinking there could have been ways to do better, but I guess it's all baby steps!
I read a book ( from the library) called Jenna's Cowboy Hero by Brenda Minton. I didnt know til after I read it that this was a series & I missed book 1. So, if you are going to try this start with A Cowboy's Heart by Brenda Minton. This book probably wasnt the best written book I"ve ever read, but I loved the characters & the story! I will prob read the 1st book.
Today is the Colt's AFC Championship game! YIPPEE! GO COlLTS!
Our oldest & his wife will be hainvg dinner with us after the game tonight.
I spent 15 minutes clipping coupons yesterday. What 15 min did you do to bless your household financially?

Touching Base
I really havent done much this week. Wiht the 3 day weekend & hubby sick I just havent done much.
I did continue decluttinering the computer room. That's my room of focus for Jan.
I have printed some coupons, did a survey online, received a survey in the mail that I need to do & received some coupons.
I havent been sleeping much so I got 2 library books read this week! Both by Karen Kingsbury. Sarah's song & A Time to Embrace. I loved them both! Sarah's song probably spoke to me more. It had a verse from Proverbs that says " Above all else, guard your heart" That has been my verse for the week.
I havent put any savings down for using the library. Wasnt sure how to do that. But it seems it should go under some kind of savings! lol What do you think?

Jan 11 week in review
Well, I wasnt as good @ posting every day like I had hoped!
Besides the party & the Meijer trip the other thing that happened was we save $50 on auto repairs. I really dont know why, they just knocked $50 off. They told me why, but it didnt make sense. I just said "ok, thanks!" lol They did awesome work & they treated us like royalty!
The other "savings" came in the mail this week in forms of freebies.--got a freebie of Stacy's pita chips-1 0z bag. We havent tried it yet though.
My family ( including adult children who dont live here anymore! lol) are already enjoying things from yesterday's Meijer's trip.
Got a coupon in the mail from vocalpoint.com
The things I did this week that could bring benefits in the future are:
posted my 1st post to kijiji.com--boys clothes for $10. I have no idea what i"m doing so I"m starting out small there.
took a cvs survey to get a coupon for $5 off a $30 purchase.
ordered more samples/freebies

Birthdays
My 4 grand-nephews all have bdays within 6 weeks of each other. So, thru the years we have decided to do 1 BIG party for them. So, today was the day! YIPPEE! We went to the Incredible Pizza Company! They did an awesome job for us! We had our own party room & hostess. She helped us @ the buffet tables getting everyone's food too! They played 2 games with the kiddos with the prize being tickest to redeem for prizes! The 2 youngest ones got a lot of tickets! Plus they got to spend this wheel & 3 of them got 50 tickets while 1 got to do an extra activity..I think he picked go carts! He just turned 10 & the place lets 10 yr olds drive them! lol Also, for being their birthday they each got an additional 100 tickets!
They were so kind to us. I had ordered gift bags for them not realizing they came for each birthday boy. So, they deducted it from our bill without me asking..they just let me know they did that. Also, they had given us $15 off for booking online. ( which is why I booked online!) The were totally & aboslutely wonderful! I would happily go back there for a party, but in recent years, I've tried not to go back to the same place twice. We try to make it new & exciting every year!
As far as saving money today, all I have done is my Inbox Dollars & ordering pictures from Snapfish. Since this was my 1st time to order with them, they gave me 20 4x6 prints free. Thru tomorrow they have 50 4x6 pics pics for 50 cents. So, I got 70 prints for 50cents plus shipping..my total was $5.26 & I saved $5.80! WOO HOO! I love where I save more than I spend! lol
