I consider myself pretty well rounded and also the type of person that puts forth a lot of effort to meet most of my goals. This year, I set out to lower the cost of my grocery bill and I am happy to report that for the moth of February, I spent right about $300 to feed a family a 6 and that also includes toiletries. I am very pleased with last months spending. One thing that I did was to create a meal calendar and go to the grocery with a list and a plan. Also, I have an iPhone now and am able to use different apps to see what coupons I have.....its worth the extra cost just for that to me. Today, I had a pretty impressive trip to the store as well. I paid $17.99 and saved $93. A short summary of items are: 1-Charmain toilet paper (12 double rolls), 1- bounty (8 rolls), 5- adult claritans, 2- children's claritan, 1-Robitussin, 1- sinex, 1-afrin, 2- kit kats, 1- Reese's, 1- wisp, 2- bottles pantene shampoo, 1- 4 pack Duracell batteries, 1- book, 2- cottage cheeses, 1- tide stain release, 3- Kroger brand miralax, 1- dozen eggs, 1- 4 pack activa yogurt, 2- 4 packs danimal yogurt, 1- 4 pack splitzs yogurt!! This was done thanks to doubling coupons and e-stacking them. Also, several items were on managers special. I love to coupon when I get these results.
As for the kids, they are great. Ginny currently wants to know when she can have a boyfriend but promises they will not do boyfriend/girlfriend stuff, just hang out at school. I am scared to have her elaborate on what is considered boyfriend/girlfriend stuff? Aubree thinks that Martin Luther King Jr would have been a great president or Helen Keller or Rosa Parks. Also, today, she lost an ear ring and immediately dropped to her knees to ask for help finding it. After a few hours and her faith starting to waiver, she found it. It was a good experience for her to learn that Heavenly Father hears our prayers, and answers them but in his time. Will, is as cute as they come but pure trouble. He loves to go places and ride in any ones car but mine. Christopher cut his sixth tooth today. He is a little lazy but I'll take it because I know exactly what happens when they become mobile.
