Thanks Amy!

I just received my gift card to HEB for my Creole chicken video. Thanks Amy!
She runs www.mysouthcentraltexasmommy.com. It is a great site to get coupon info. This was the springboard to my current couponing and freebie insanity.

Some recent wins

I have been having the greatest time lately!
Check out my video on easy Creole chicken that netted me a grocery gift card! Whoo hoo!
I also won a pair of Sobe flip flops.
My video on Johnsonville has free brats coming my way.
This has been so much fun! I kind of like doing the video stuff. There usually aren't a lot of entries; the Flip video is so danged easy to use that a video is easy to make; and I just like it!
On another note, my friends are selling their house in St. Augustine, FL. Do you need a house in FL? If so, shoot me an email!

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!
