Let's talk Turkey!

With October quickly coming to an end the next thing on our minds is......... Christmas shopping! Well it is but that is not our focus right now. With the holidays coming up we have decided to have another competition. Those are always fun! :) We will find the best deals we can to feed our families and pass the ideas, tips, and deals on to you. Last time we had a contest to see who could save more, I won't say I whopped my sister, but I did a pretty good job :) Now of course she came in at a VERY close second. Then a very special THANK YOU! to Bri, our niece for tallying up the percentage to let us know just who the coupon queen really is. I plan on keeping this title, let's see if I can. 

So check back for lots of good grocery ideas and Holiday meal planning! :)

E-COUPONS AND DEALS!

Hello all you awesome couponers! I know both my sister and I have been MIA lately. We are mothers first, and right now even though we live in different states both of our lives are CRAZY!!!! We are trying to get back into the swing of things. We are already planning new fun things in the upcoming months so just bare with us.

Now for the fun stuff. What you really come here for. In a previous post I told you about different types of coupons. One of those was the e-coupon. I have been looking more into these. They are becoming more and more popular. Several companies offer savings if you simply text to them that you want offers or deals. I have put together a list of the ones I could find and am passing this on to you. There are more stores that offer this type of deal, I just have not found them yet. As I do come across them I will be sharing with you. Each store has a 5 or 6 digit # you will send a text to. The code that follows the number bellow is what you will need to put in the message area to receive these text deals or coupons. Some have daily deals like, Family dollar.

Happy October!

First day of October and I could not be happier! I LOVE October! It is by far my favorite month. I love this time of year. Even though in Florida seasons do not really change that much I can tell it is a bit cooler, and HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!
Anyway, What better way to celebrate the first day of October than to go shopping and finish the day off by watching Hocus Pocus with the family and a great friend! I (tried) to make witch broom cookies as a treat for the movie but they didn't turn out like I had hoped. They were still pretty tasty :) Thankfully my friend (Shout out to Steph L.) :) made some tasty Cheerios treats. Like rice krispie treats but better.
Our plan is to watch a Halloween movie/show each day of October. We shall see how that goes :)
