Back in the Saddle

After 3 long and grueling months, we are officially settled in our new home. Aside from the pile of boxes that sit in the garage awaiting our rescue, we are feeling more and more at home everyday. The best part is that we are starting to get back on a schedule. Coupons, menu plans, and drug store planning are all falling into place now that we have our own space.

This week I was able to do a month shop at the grocery store. Because of the $30 off coupon that is available at Albertson's, I wanted to take advantage of stockpiling my fridge, pantry, and freezer. I made a menu plan for 1 month with only the best sales at Albertson's. There was also an additional coupon for 3 free products when you buy 10, so we will be having a whole lot of spaghetti over the next month....not really, but it is a staple in our house because it's so cheap and easy. The only other coupon that I used was a peelie on the Flip Side crackers for $1 off of 1 box. They were 2/$2.50, so the coupon made them $1.50. That was a nice surprise.

As for drug store deals, I still haven't ventured into that world yet since I just unpacked a huge stockpile of products and didn't feel the need to spend money on that when there are so many little things we need for the new house. Speaking of which, there is TONS of storage in this new house. I have a full size closet pantry in the kitchen, another in the hall, another under the stairs, and floor to ceiling storage in the laundry. It is a stockpiler's dream and was so worth the wait!!! I will post photos when I can.

Have a great week! Please e-mail me!
