Comments

Hello all.
Here I have been wondering if anyone has even been looking at the deals I have posted..as I havent been getting any comments at all.
But...
It came to my attention
that no one has been able to leave comments on my blog!
Something was wrong with my formatting or something..
So,I am sorry!
The comments section has now been fixed!
Feel free to leave comments now!
..Please? LOL...

Whats on the Cheap or FREE with coupons at WALMART

First off can I say..

I live in Eastern Washington..and our inserts kinda stink.

Our inserts are watered down and we dont get as many of the coupons so many others get.

So I am going to organize this post in 3 ways.

.

1. For those of you who are coupon newbies - deals with printables.

2. Deals for those who live in my area -- Tri-Cities and Yakima for sure.

3. Deals for everyone else that gets great coupons..you lucky ducks.
.

I will try to update this post frequently, and remove old links.

Not sure what my couponing abbreviations mean? Click here.

Tracking my Savings and Spending

Hello everyone. Happy January!

I posted a poll to vote on in December to get your thoughts on what I should do for my blog regarding a budget.
I appreciate all your votes!

Heres what I have decided to do:

I am going to keep a tally of what I spend on
FOOD for my family (--just items we eat..)
I will post a running total on my sidebar throughout the year. I will post pics of my shopping trips and try my best to explain my deals.

Things that will NOT be included in my budget:
any toiletries
dog food
diapers
household cleaners
papers and plastics
ect.

I will still coupon for these things..and will post my deals, but they will not be in my spent/savings tally.

Heres to a great year of couponing!
