Here are 10 reasons why I love using coupons:

1. Free plus overage!
2. “Living Like No One Else”
3. $5 Dinners
4. Free Toothpaste (and much more)
5. Saving for Disney
6. The expression on other patrons faces when they see my total after coupons, priceless
7. My kids yelling in the store “Mom, I found a coupon!”
8. Fun
9. Challenging
10. Rewarding

We went to Sandbridge this morning to let the kids run around the beach.  I tried to get a picture of Monekyboy body surfing but it didn’t come out well.  Sand and waves=hours of free entertainment!

Hope everyone is having a lovely Saturday!

Kids are napping, so I’m off to work on CVS before heading out to Saturday Under the Stars at the Y.

I asked you what you wanted from The Coupon Challenge, and I received so many responses!  Thank you!  Email seemed to be the method of choice here, so you can’t see all the responses on the post.  I greatly appreciated the feedback!  I know how busy everyone is!  I smiled at all the warm thoughts people expressed.  I have met such an amazing group of women (and men) since I began blogging!  The community of bloggers and readers that I have joined are constantly inspiring me and reminding me why I love to blog and share my story.

Some of your opinions:

-A common factor was wanting the local events/deals.

-There seemed to be an even split on the store deals I cover.  I’ll post more on that when I figure it all out 🙂  I received requests for Target and Food Lion matchup links, so those will be coming soon.

-You want more recipes and freezer cooking.  I started working on that here.  My plan will be to add at least 1 new recipe a week.  I’ll try to focus on recipes for items that you should have scored at a rock bottom price and have overflowing in your pantry.

-Organic deals and local co-ops.  I’m looking for an organic blogger to hopefully link deals to.  I mentioned my trip to Trader Joe’s here.  Local Harvest made my head spin, but I’ll be taking another look at it.

-You all want to continue seeing my purchases.  Look for a linky on Tuesday’s to checkout what other bloggers/readers are buying

-Thrifty Stores-started research and will probably set it up as a Q&A

-You want me to write more.  I have a LONG list of topics, but I first need to complete my getting started series and post about my budget.  Oh, and what we’re doing about an allowance for the kids.  My goal (although I ‘ve been telling myself this for months) is to write a piece each week.  I need a time management course 🙂

-I rearranged my sidebar, added labels for the buttons, removed some of the post labels.  Hopefully it will make it easier to navigate.

*If you have any thoughts, deals or events my email is always open.  Remember that I love comments and try to respond back in some way to each.  I do read ALL comments, so know that I am listening.

I’m joining Giveaway Scout to hopefully get more traffic for my giveaways.  I received a comment about the site on the Scentsy Warmer and 3 Scents Giveaway going on right now (don’t worry, I deleted it so it doesn’t affect the entries).  I’ll give it a try and see how things go.

I noticed a TON of giveaways listed on the site if you’re looking for more giveaways to enter.  After you’ve entered mine, of course 🙂
