coupons??

i've been doing some internet surfing these days. now that i'm on dsl it is amazing how fast i can surf!!!

anyways...i've been finding all sorts of entries on people saving so much money shopping with coupons and such. i guess i'm totally clueless because i can't figure it out. how do you find them and where do you get them and how do you use them. well, the last one is pretty much common sense, but since my little household is about to go through major changes i'm looking for ways to save money...

so help...can anybody out there in blog world get me started?!!!!?!?!?

You gotta have a system :)

Here's a synopsis of mine. The boys cut and sort the coupons in each Saturday paper. They recieve 5% of my total savings on the next trip for this job.

I comb thru the flyer of my favorite store (I mainly shop at one to save the scattered harried feeling of keeping up with multiple flyers and sales). I match the sales to the coupons in my folder. If there's a match and we NEED it or USE it regularly, it goes on the list.

I sort my list by priority: sales w/ coupons then just really good sales or really good coupons then what we need no matter what.

Just since February, I've saved almost $700 in coupons this way.

And that's my 2 cents :)

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
