Coupons & win

I have begun REALLY using coupons after attending a workshop at the end of May. I was using coupons here and there, but since then really using them to cut my grocery bills. Target $5 gift card deals stacked with their store coupons (check their site for all their coupons) and manufacturer coupons have actually put money in our pockets. I have done a number of rebates and have deposited those checks. Each one put free items into our household plus money in the bank. I paid at my recent visit to Target $153.64 for $224.54 worth of groceries. My coupon savings was $70.90! It was all stuff we needed and are going to use!
I am still refining my methods and organizing my stuff. Let me tell you, the organizing is right up my alley!
The woman who did the workshop runs My South Central Texas Mommy. It is a great website for deals, coupons, and giveaways in my area. When I attended her workshop, I got a $10 HEB gift card and recently won a $30 Incredible Pizza gift card! I am a bit amazed! Her site has great 101s on couponing. I am very pleased with everything I have gotten from her site.
Another coupon site is Deal Seeking Mom. I recently won $10 from Seattle's Best because of a Facebook giveaway she wrote about. The emails I get from her are easy to read and spell out great deals!
These sites stand out in my mind because I read them daily. For full disclosure, I am not compensated by either site to write about them, but their giveaways have me all a flutter. Give couponing a try! Subscribe to your Sunday paper and see what deals you get! I would totally love to hear what savings you get!

Twizzlers WIN!!!

When UPS came and left a huge box, I was a bit stumped as I haven't ordered anything. Well, it was my big win from Twizzlers Summer of Fun! We had so much fun opening up the package.
I've been looking for a new fancy schmancy bag. Look no further since my new one says Twizzlers on the side!
New sunglasses to boot! They remind me of my cool red ones from 7th grade that I decorated with white spots.
So much cool stuff! Thank you Twizzlers!






The shovel and bucket are really neat-o. The shovel is so cool and has a weird ergonomic feel to it that really makes it keen.
Gosh, I feel like Gidget!
