Update: I opened up an Etsy shop!! Go purchase your pre-made cash envelopes!

As I’ve mentioned before, we went to the cash system endorsed by Dave Ramsey not too long ago. We literally froze our credit cards (in a cup of water in the freezer) and started to pay cash for everything that wasn’t a regular bill (which I pay online).  I spent the first month or so figuring out how we were going to make it work for us.  I used a plastic accordion coupon organizer that I already had, …

I couldn’t resist.  I mean, I told you I was gonna do it!!  You had to expect this kind of behavior from me, so don’t look so shocked.
Check this out:

Yeah, I know what you’re thinking.  You’re thinking, “Kelleigh!  You said you were going to eat from your pantry!  Why are you buying more stuff?”
Uh, you have a valid point there.  But, honestly, would you pass up free salsa?  I mean, FREE as in it didn’t cost you anything (except perhaps your sanity as you yelled at gently reminded your boys …

I made a quick trip out to Safeway today with my guys in tow.  (Again, I must praise the cookie lady.  Bless her crabby self.)
Got this:

Yeah, I know.  You are so impressed!!  Here’s a little breakdown:
La Victoria Salsa was 2/$4, but I had 2 coupons for $4/2, which made my salsa FREE.  I’m totally going back for more.  We use salsa like crazy (yeah, I know it’s mild!).  I usually buy it in jugs!!  Go do this and get your coupons!
Milk was $1.99 each when you buy 2 = $3.98
Used …

Before becoming a crazy coupon lady, my pantry was typically pretty clean and bare.  Since I’ve been getting so much free food (cereal, soups, rice, canned veggies, etc.) my pantry is beginning to look like a grocery store.  And, really, I haven’t been obnoxious about stocking up, but when I see a rock-bottom sale I buy.  For example, I needed to return a toy to Target last week, and I knew that I could pick up some Del Monte veggies for about 20¢ a can, so I printed the necessary …

I am so honored to have been asked to be part of the JUGs (Just Us Girls) Challenge blog hop this week!!  You know what is even cooler?  The JUGs girls are using MY TEMPLATES!!  Eeeek!!  I can’t wait for you to see what they have created.  Gorgeous.  Stunning.  Brilliant!
AND, you can get in on it, too!!  Just hop over to the JUGs Challenge Blog.  This week they are challenging you to make a project using a template, with a bonus challenge of using the color blue.  Many of my blog …

I’m sitting here on the morning of Christmas Eve, checking my email and reading my blogs.  The house is still quiet and dark, and I’m feeling like I need to make the computer screen dark, too.  SO, yes, I’m turning the computer off today.  Not just putting it to sleep so I can wake it up while I pass through the hallway, but actually turning it off.  It hurts.  I have an addiction to the sweet thing (my big huge Mac daddy).
However, this is Christmas Eve.  These days are about …

Okay, so I was reading my blogs this morning and came across this fun tutorial by Jessica at The Hybrid Chick blog.  I commented, she responded, we giggled, and I got an idea!!  Actually, I had the idea last week, but was reminded of it today.  It sort of started with this post which led me to this post.
And, here we go!  Another freebie because I’m doing last minute Christmas gifts.  Of course, if you don’t end up reading this post until Christmas day, you can STILL get in on …

I promised you a gift card envelope freebie, and I’m delivering!!  The catch is that I haven’t printed out a sample for your viewing pleasure, so you’ll just have to go on faith that this is a perfect gift card holder.  PERFECT.  I actually made two for you because I’m having a major brain storm right now, so I’m working on a last minute stocking stuffer for my handsome man.  If I finish it soon, I’ll share that with you, too!!  (No promises, though.  I’m not super woman, and I …
