Not blogging anymore?

So here there, everywhere it seems people have been asking me, "So, your not blogging anymore?" It seems that lots of you have been checking, and starting to wonder if I am ever coming back.

Well, I'm back. I took much of the summer off from couponing, but am realizing that I have been spending more then I want to so I am getting back into the swing of things again.

I'll try to start blogging regularly about what I am finding, but 2 kids, minus 1 laptop (still haven't replaced the one that died in May) equals very little time on the computer for me.

Here are just a few of the things that I found for this week.

Rainbow has BOGO Fiber One, and YO-Plus Yogurt 4pks, -2 $1/1=2/$.59
There are also BOGO MF from the back of Fiber One cereal boxes. Check your stash of cereal to see if you have any.

Also, I've heard that starting on Saturday the Trib will be selling early edition Sunday papers for $.50. These should have all the same coupons as the regular Sunday paper, just $1.75 cheaper.

Free or cheap things at Walmart

Just wanted to post a couple of the things I've been finding lately. Still working on getting back into blogging. Thanks to those of you who are sticking around.

Hefty one zip baggies, pint or gallon size, $1 -$1/1 blinkie coupon from Cub and Rainbow=Free
Nestle Pure Life 6pk water $1, -$1/1 IP =Free
Special K crackers $1, -$1/1 IP=Free
Capri Sun $1 to $1.97 + Chips Ahoy mini cookies $1, -$2/2 tear pad=Free up to $.97 for the set.
Skippy peanut butter $1, -$75/1 insert=$.25 (smaller jar then normal.)
2pk Reach toothbrushes $2, -$2/1 insert=Free
Bryer's yogurt $.50, -$1/2 IP=Free

Think that's all I can find for now. Hopefully there will be more as back to school starts.

I'm making supper right now and am excited about it so it prompted me to want to post me menu for this week.

Friday and Saturday are just a bit more because we are going camping with family and I volunteered to bring the food. Still not bad over all for 4 adults and a always hungry little boy. Plus, they won't be coming out of the monthly budget. Camping is our vacation so I take everything out of the garage sale proceeds when we go.

Hello Again

So I've been really lax about updating since my laptop died. We still haven't gotten a new one, but I must admit I don't really mind. I am enjoying summer so haven't really been thinking of blogging much. I haven't been couponing much either. We have been out of town a lot which makes it harder to keep up with everything.

I do want to get back at it though. I thought maybe a good step would be to start with the menu for this week. I had started posting out menu awhile ago, but faltered as my due date grew closer. I was asked again yesterday, "if we had to eat really strange stuff?", so thought this was as good a place as any. Plus, it's probably the easiest thing to do. ;)

I'll try to do the prices, but I might not be able to remember all of them
