Frugal Monday- My Sunday afternoon was not spent clipping coupons & looking up sales. Most of the afternoon, I was consoling Jack & cleaning the house, but I did all my coupons on Saturday & hope to get LOTS more from my mom today from the Sunday paper. (*didn’t have much to choose from that I don’t already have!)

Just wanted to share a few internet “tips” that have helped us save money!

1. sign up for every free club out there - especially you moms with babies

-Huggies, Pampers, Enfamil, Similac, Gerber, Johnson & Johnson, Beech Nut, Natures Goodness, ETC… - great coupons, booklets, and samples (even if you don’t plan on using that brand or item- comes in handy in case of emergencies and also is great to give to a friend in need!) *grandparents can sign up for all of these also!

-Toys R US Birthday club , Publix Baby & Kids, Childrens Place Birthday Club, etc… (great coupons especially around the time of your kids birthdays!)

2. Grocery Help

-going shopping and you don’t have coupons - look for some online

-www.thegrocerygame.com- $1 for 4 week trial - enter your zip code, pick your stores, & they tell you what to stock up on (with coupons) & what is FREE (with coupons) - also tells you where to find coupons and rebates

3. Shopping

GOOGLE - always search for online codes when purchasing things online. & when going shopping search for in- store coupons to your favorite stores and print at home. Most stores with have coupons, you just have to search for them.

These are just a few things we do…

Family Update - Jack is feeling much better. He still is wheezing, but with his treatments his breathing is not as labored. His appetite is increasing, and his sleep is much more regular. Levi seems to be on the mend also, but still has a cough.  Pray for Donald as he goes in on Thursday for an ultrasound to check for gallstones.
