“I wish I could use coupons, but I just don’t understand how you get those savings.”
“All of that math just confuses me.”
“I’m not smart enough to use coupons like that.”

And, my personal favorite:

We are going camping tomorrow!! I’m SO excited!!  I love camping.  This time, we are camping at the beach.  Hopefully it won’t rain all over us!!
I had to buy the basics this morning.  You know. BACON.
I miss free bacon!  Remember when I got free bacon?  Bacon is NOT CHEAP, people!  Oh, and I had to buy syrup.  Does this stuff EVER go on sale?  WHY is it so expensive?  Good grief.  If syrup ever goes on sale, I’m stocking up, because $3.39 for the store brand is ridiculous.
I’m posting about …

I have been waiting for a good hair color deal for a LONG time. Too long.  My grays are really showing these days.
I’m kind of new to coloring my hair.  The first time I did it was the week I turned 30 (I’m now 34).  I try to be pretty low-maintenance, so I didn’t want to get into a habit of going to a salon and shelling out lots of money on a regular basis just to get rid of my grays.  Don’t get me wrong.  I have no …

The Krazy Coupon Lady has a fun saying: Make the grocery isle your catwalk. I totally felt like that tonight as I took advantage of one of the Safeway weekend only deals.
I DO NOT need salad dressing.  I have so much of it that I’m starting to feel like a hoarder.  However, when it makes me money, I’ll (kinda reluctantly) buy it.  (And, I have plans to donate some, because OH MY GOSH.  It’s sick.)
(Sorry about the blurry pic!  My son made popcorn while I went shopping and daddy …

That may be one of the longest titles I’ve ever written, and it certainly isn’t following SEO guidelines, but I don’t care.  I seriously paid 50¢ for 6 bottles of Motts apple juice and 5 boxes of Quaker granola bars.
Angela from Frugal Living NW is out of town this week, so she asked her readers to scope out the Safeway ad to find the great match-ups.  I didn’t have my ad, so I couldn’t contribute much, but the other readers found some great deals!  I love the Frugal Living NW …

Safeway usually has a couple of great deals at stock-up prices on the weekends. The trick is that you have to wait until the weekend to buy them.  SO many people glance at the ad and then buy the “weekend only” item in the middle of the week thinking that they are getting the great sale price, but they are not.  But, hey.  It’s working for Safeway.  They are probably counting on that kind of thing happening.
Anywho!  So, I shopped today.

Yes.  That would be “junk pizza”.  Go ahead and …

Hi Frugal Living NW readers!  What a treat to have so many visitors!  Thanks for stopping by!
I’m not a coupon blogger.  I’m just a regular mom who loves a good deal.  I shop almost exclusively at Safeway and feed my family of 4 for $200 a month (with $ left over to eat out!).  You might be interested in seeing more of my Safeway deals (just for some inspiration), or you can check out my popular post about the cash envelope system that I use (and made!).
Remember how I earned …

I did some grocery shopping this week.  Of course.  I do go OFTEN, by the way.  Extreme Couponers usually do go to the store a couple of times a week.  Non-couponers just DIE when they hear that, but hey, it’s a hobby!  And, it’s saving my family money!  AND, the “coupon high” is better and cheaper than therapy.
My first “coupon high” moment of the week happened on Tuesday night while Mitch and the boys were at soccer practice.  Cellfire had just re-released some ecoupons, which meant double the ecoupons for …
