Sales + Coupons = $5.64
Good sales at Albertsons. I know there are many, many moms out there that can get way more for under $6, but I'm still pretty pleased with this outcome :)
The kids and I will enjoy the veggies and the yogurt, and Justin will be glad to take the pizza rolls and the desserts for work snacks.
Blogs of Late
Sorry it's been (what seems like) forever since my last post. Unfortunately I've had lots of trouble uploading photos from my camera, so I have no new photos, and since I don't like posts without pictures, I've just haven't written anything. Justin's working on the problem, hopefully he'll work it out soon; especially because my father-in-law and mother-in-law (FIL and MIL) bought me an awesome photo printer for my birthday. Yeah, they're great. Yeah, I love 'em. They also completed the gift with extra ink and extra photo paper. I am just itching to print out pictures and especially the ones with all the nieces and nephews that visited this summer.
Anyway, I have found some really fun, clever, beautiful blogs the last several months and I thought I'd share. I think I kind of need to also update the blog list to the left, but I'll save that for another day.
Centsational Girl
Armelle
Made
Katie Did
Stephmodo
Centsational Girl has great design and DIY projects. She can really inspire you to tackle home projects. Armelle has a beautiful jewelry and just has overall great style. Made boasts of great home-made clothing, especially for kids. Katie Did also has lots of crafts and sewing. Finally, Stephmodo is one of my all-time favorites. The blogger/mom has great style, she's a foodie, and her family just purchased a second home in France and recently her updates have been about the amazing renovation.
Enjoy!

Coupons
Although I've used coupons in the past, I didn't use them regularly. I might save $1 or $2 off a grocery bill, but it didn't really make a dent in the overall bill. In the last several months I've tried to become a little more dedicated to saving on our grocery bill, and after finding so many blogs dedicated to saving money and to couponing, it is quite easy.
Recently I stumbled upon the site A Thrify Mom and this mom really is quite thrifty. Her favorite store is Albertsons, which is a store that I've come to appreciate more (I'm a pretty loyal Fry's shopper). Anyway, last week she spent $19.04 for $234.06 worth of groceries.
I have to admit, my savings are not as substantial as some of these moms, but based upon the tips I've learned, I now spend about $75/ week on groceries, diapers, cleaning supplies, and paper products. This is compared to $100 +/ week I used to spend.
A couple of other money saving sites I frequently visit are:
Faithful Frugality
Money Saving Mom
Jane4Girls
There are so many other sites I also check, but if you're interested in learning how to cut your grocery bill, these are pretty good places to start.
