It
has been announced that we are officially out of the drought here in North
Texas. This is really good news for us, since our lake is now only 5 feet under
normal levels. At the end of summer we were 16 feet and falling. If we did not
get rain this winter, we were going to be restricted to only drinking and
bathing water. I was trying to explain this to my daughter, she said we could
just drink milk. I love the way a child’s mind works. She is 10 and I want her
to have an understanding of the world and how each thing is connected. So I had
to tell her without water the cows won’t have anything to drink or eat either.
Then I saw her little light bulb go off right above her head.

One of the
best ways to learn how to coupon is to read others posts and you will also find
more deals. If you stop by leave them a comment. Link up your savings trips
here, or leave a comment so we can see how you did this week. How did your saving
trips go this week?
Oh wow. I am jealous of that Kroger's shopping trip! I so so wish we had a Kroger. I hear only good things about them and their sales. Good job on saving more than you spent!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tanner. Kroger is a hit or miss for me lately. Without double coupons I mainly wait for Mega Events to maximize my dollar.
DeleteGreat job! Just wanted to let you know I created a button to link to your page and added it to my linky and blog hops page. I tried linking it directly to your friday finales page, but it wouldn't work so it just links to your home page. Hope that's alright. Let me know if there is another way to tweak it and I will do it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Erika! It seems to be working fine. Thanks so much for adding me.
DeleteNo problem. This is always one of my favorite places to stop so it's nice to give you some love so others can link up too :)
DeleteWow! I need to go and get that tuna fish! I cannot get enough of that. I think its time the TDs and I go and make a few 1 item trips lol!
ReplyDeleteYes! This Tuna Fish deal is awesome. I have used it four times. It works out to a little over a $1.00 for a pound of Tuna. Which is a great price for fish or meat.
