Coupons and Coffee

Mornin! Seriously! If someone knows a way to train kids to sleep in PLEASE I'm begging you TELL ME! It seems like each week it gets earlier and earlier. Today was just a few minutes past 6 am. Two weeks ago it was 6:30 am. That's about the time I like to roll out of bed. I don't like getting up before 5 (stomping foot) to get my stuff done.....it's too early!


Ok I'm done with my whining. Thanks Hip2Save, Jessica's Coupons, For the Mommas, The Frugal Girls, and Deal Seeking Mom!

Coupons and Coffee

Mornin!  It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring! I never really understood this child's nursery rhyme. We needed the rain but man I hate to see it. That means the kids are locked inside all day and I'll be going stir crazy! The hubby woke up this morning to find our dog Copper, laid up on the couch snoring! Seems we forgot to lock his kennel last night when we brought them in. Tre (our handicapped dog) was still locked securely inside his kennel thank goodness! If one of them was going to cause trouble it would be him!


Today will be a good day to go through my coupons and catch up on some clipping! If it's nice and sunny at your house today step outside and enjoy it for me!


Don't Forget!!!!!!!!! It's the end of the month so print any of those coupons from places like smartsource and coupons.com because they'll be gone after Thursday!

Yoplait, a lifestyle change and FREE Yogurt for You!

As most of you are aware our family is on a quest to change our lives by changing our lifestyle! The hubby has already lost over 100 lbs. in the last year..me? I've lost 30 in that same year. Yeah it's not fair for the ladies! He stops drinking sodas and watches his calories and it melts off. I do the same and lose 5 lbs!


Anyway, part of this changing lifestyle is changing what we eat and how we eat. Our girls LOVE yogurt and so do we. Why not choose a yogurt that's healthier than the others on the market? Lower sugar in the kids yogurts than other brands and I can get a "sweet" fix by picking up one of the dessert style yogurts like Chocolate Eclair without all the extra calories!


You can go here to grab A BUNCH of coupons to try out all the great flavors of Yoplait and get started on a healthier lifestyle.


Yoplait
*The information below was provided by Yoplait through MyBlogSpark.*


Explore the many nourishing options that Yoplait has to offer - with varieties like Yoplait Light, Yoplait Original, Yoplait Fiber One, Yoplait Kids and Yoplait Delight Parfaits. Each product offers different benefits, and loads of variety, to make eating well a no-brainer. Here are five great ways to ‘get your snack on’ with Yoplait this March!

  1. Start spring off right with Yoplait Light’s Two Week Tune Up Plan – Replace breakfast and lunch with a cup of your favorite flavor of Yoplait Light, a whole grain and a piece of fruit and you could lose 5 pounds in two weeks. Go to Yoplait.com for full diet details.
  2. Get more calcium with Yoplait Original style yogurt - Now with two times the calcium of the leading yogurt (50 percent of the Recommended Daily Value) in one convenient 6-ounce cup*, Yoplait Original style yogurt is committed to women’s health, offering a product that has even more of the calcium women need for strong, healthy bodies. Grab a free cup while supplies last during the Million Cup Giveaway on Yoplait on Facebook!(under the Calcium tab on the right)
  3. Try the newest flavor from Yoplait Fiber One – Yoplait Fiber One’s new Blueberry flavor yogurt is packed with filling fiber, calcium, vitamins A and D, real fruit and the great taste of blueberries. With only 50 calories, 5 grams of fiber and 0 grams of fat, this deliciously creamy yogurt won’t break your calorie bank.
  4. Stress less over snack time with Yoplait Kids yogurt – With a wholesome and fun snack like Yoplait Kids yogurt in the fridge, you can feel good about what your children are eating at snack time. Yoplait Kids provides an excellent source of calcium and vitamin D, and has 25% less sugar than the leading kids’ yogurt**. With yummy flavors, and favorite friends like Dora and Lightning McQueen on the packages, Yoplait Kids is a hit with moms and children alike.
  5. End the day with a Delight Parfait from Yoplait – Even with two luscious layers providing a double shot of rich and creamy yogurt, these 100 calorie indulgences from Yoplait contain only 1.5 grams of fat per serving. Now available in two new flavors, Chocolate Éclair and Cherry Cheesecake, you can enjoy a dessert that’s 100 percent guilt-free.
*Leading yogurt has less than 25% Daily Value calcium per 6 oz.
**Yoplait kids has 9 grams of sugar per 3oz. the leading kids' yogurt has 13 grams of sugar per 3oz.

Mornin!  We have co-op today and I'm in a rush! Guess I'm going to have to start setting my alarm clock instead of relying on my internal clock because lately I've been oversleeping. 


This afternoon my only goal is to find homes for my purchases this weekend. I'm running out of room for stockpiling(we live in a very small house so space is limited which keeps me from stockpiling a lot)!


Here's today's round up! Thanks Hip2Save

Long trip, busy weekend, but well worth it! Without coupons I would have spent $397.31 which use to be my entire month's budget. Because of coupons I only spent $143.97. Overall I saved 64%!  The only things I didn't get this week diapers but that's ok because I still have a pile from the Walgreens brand BOGO a few weeks ago when I paid $1.50 a package.


The only things I'll need to pick up over the next few weeks will be milk and meat. I can live with that!

Coupons and Coffee

Mornin! Getting my act together for the week. It's quiet this morning since the oldest had a sleepover yesterday after church. So it's just me and Gator sitting here eating lucky charms and coupon hunting. 


Had a great couponing trip with just me and my Mom yesterday. We hit CVS, Walgreens, Winn Dixie and Target. I'll post more about that trip later today.


We're going to head out the door as soon as I'm done for a walk. I've got to kick this weight loss into gear, 30 lbs. GONE but need to lose more. Love that I'm losing weight, down side is I have no clothes! Trying to get dressed is a challenge because nothing fits anymore. The hubby has been such an inspiration! Having lost over 100 lbs. in the last year! He's now taken up running and completed his second 5K race this weekend. He did awesome! Finished 164th out of over 1650 people and finished 10th for his age division. I'm was so proud that afterwards I took him shopping with me at Publix as his reward! (insert evil laugh) Let's just say he was less than excited and ended up carrying around a sleeping baby for the majority of the trip. Good news is he discovered a wealth of craft beers he hasn't tried, so now he's said I can go to Publix anytime as long as I pick him a different beer each time. Too bad he gave up his once a month 6 pack for Lent! Guess he'll be waiting a few more weeks. 


Enough rambling.........here's what you really want:

Mornin! Nothing worse than running out of ink and not being able to print some of these great coupons! I headed to Target last night and grabbed two HP inks and got a $5 GC. Turned around and used that $5 GC to get $30 worth of stuff for $1 out of pocket! That's the way I like to roll! 




Headed to a meeting this morning, then meeting my friend and taking the kids to the park and for a snowball! Yum! So glad spring has sprung here in the deep south. Sending warm wishes to my friends up north who are still watching snow melt and enjoying the nippy 30 degree temps. Maybe you can warm up with today's coupon roundup!

Mornin'! I'm NOT enjoying this change in routine that has occurred the last two days. It throws off my schedule for the day. So for the second time this week here's Coupons and Coffee LATE! What's my excuse today? The hubby doesn't have to go until Noon and well let's just say it's rare that we don't have to hit the ground running first thing every morning 
and it was just too easy to linger in bed. 



Note to self:
You are a creature of habit and did not realize it until the last two days when your normal routine was interrupted. It's going to be alright!  Your left brain is not going to explode from this disruption! Maybe your best friend's OCD is starting to rub off? 

Love,
Me

Jerry Lee's ad match up 3/23-3/29

If you have been reading House of Collums for very long you know I usually don’t have a lot of spare time on my hands for things like typing up ad matchups myself (that’s the reason I always point you to other people’s blogs) but this week is an exception. Jerry Lee’s in Gautier has such great deals this week that I felt I MUST pass them on! So here it is…you should feel loved!
