It was so warm here last week that we were still enjoying going to garage sales. I bought some vintage material for .50 each. I hope to find great projects for it this winter when the snow is flying.
I made up pie crusts and froze them (thanks for the idea Rhonda)
I froze peppers, dried herbs, and saved green bean seeds from my garden.
I shopped sales and used coupons last week. It was a major week of stocking up for us. Great deals!

As I was checking out I received a coupon for $2.00 when you bought 6 more cans of soup!
6 cans of Campbells soup $1,18 and $2.35

Total $1.54 (making soup .25 a can)
I did this twice because it gave me another coupon again. I even got one more coupon and gave it to my daughter! It's amazing how fun it was to keep getting coupons!
I also ordered from Grove.
This is my first time ordering so I received $10.00 off. To me it's like Amazon's subscribe and save but all green merchandise. I'm set up to receive now a order every other month and can pick and choose what I want. I ordered from another person so she got $10.00 off too (you can do this too). You have to buy at least $20.00. If you would like to try it too here is my link where you can read more about it.
