Today I will start blogging as often as I can. Some will be what I did during the day, what I am doing on the internet and what I should be doing. Might be a little boring for some but then again you might find something interesting too.
So I got up at 5:45 this morning and had a really good nights sleep. I normall don't get up until after 6:30. I guess yesterdays stomach ache helped me slow down and rest. Yesterday was a busy day. My very best friend came over and I gave her a hair cut. It's rare her hair is longer than mine but, right now it is. She is such a beautiful person and I Thank God for sharing her with me. Together we can do anything and by that I mean anything. Depending on our moods depends on the outcome. So I cut her hair, she styled it and we were off on our grocery store adventure. To spend time with her in a store is so much fun. We were such goof offs yesterday. I had numerous buy one get one free coupons as well as other coupons. So we set out on an adventure to see how much FREE groceries or how much money we could save. Dog food, cat food, peanut butter, nutrition bars, coffee, steaks, we shopped like we had done this for years. I don't buy or get anything free that we don't eat or I can't give to someone else to use. My neighbor has a dog so I got the free dog food for her. Everything else we use here at home. After stopping at the 75% off Halloween table and having a good old time there putting on the masks, acting silly and laughing our hearts out, we finally made it to the check out. Now we will see if our grocery store trip was in vain or if we really got some deals. After checking all the groceries out I handed my coupons to the checker. She proceeded with swiping them for credit. After all is said and done on a 78.00 shopping trip, I only spent 27.00. Now that's a DEAL! I might just do this every time I shop. I mean I have used coupons before but this is a BIG deal to me. Last time I grocery shopped I saved about 89.00 and I thought that was a good deal but I still spent 80.00, this time seemed to really sink in because of the total. I had 7 bags of groceries and had high priced items as well. Two different shampoos and conditioners, laundry soap, dishwasher soap and dog/cat food. These things always bring the total up. So our shopping trip paid off and it didn't take us long either. Came home, put up the groceries and started scanning my items. I am part of a home panel and scan every purchase we make for points. Once I have accumulated as many points as I want for a certain item I then can order the item for FREE. Then I got my laundry done, started the dishwasher and straightened up the house. Today I plan on doing a lot of pluggin, trading banners, etc. to drive traffic to my New Ebay store. I have got to make another order for some more product to put into the store. I also have a few things to do around the house that is done daily (laundry, make beds, etc). Getting the kids up and ready for school now. Once they are at school I can focus on what I need to do for the day. I have several sites I visit to plug and follow suit from each site to get more plugs. I am still new to this and am learning something new every day. Well that's if for now, have a wonderful day.
