The weekend's over

Don't you just love getting a good deal on something? :) Lately I've been seeing how much you can save with coupons--or coupon codes, if you're shopping online. You just have to be willing to spend a few minutes looking for the best price.

I went to a movie this weekend with some friends. We saw Toy Story 3, which turned out to be pretty cute. Although I have to say that I thought the 'Big Baby' doll was slightly creepy. But what made the day even better was that the movie AND a big pretzel cost a total of .25 cents! All thanks to a coupon website I use.

Okay, so maybe I have a little too much time on my hands, but a little while ago I looked up some coupon sites. My new goal is to not overspend on groceries and household items, which can be hard if you're limited in where you can shop. Anyway, I found a lot of websites but I came across one in particular that's been awesome for showing coupons, sales, free samples, and more. And it's for everything--food, clothes, toiletries, books, etc. For anyone who may be interested, the site is www.hiptosave.com. She updates it every day, telling if certain stores are having sales as well as providing links to coupons, some of which are pretty high value. I've been able to save some money on groceries and have also gotten some cool free samples, including a full-size french manicure set and a box of Kraft food--crackers, macaroni & cheese, coffee and other coupons for free items. Who doesn't like getting fun packages in the mail?! :)

And because the way I see it, the more money I save on food/household stuff, the more I'll have to spend on other 'necessities' like sewing and scrapbooking supplies. Right, Kyle? :)
