Hope you are having a great Christmas season so far. We kicked off the Christmas season by going to the historical Crossroads village last night. It's so pretty with many different light displays. We will go back again if possible and drive through with our car to see them again. This is one of my favorite family Christmas traditions.
Here are the ways I've saved this past week:
I bought a box set of five thermal cups for $20 at Sam's. Each one was filled with hot chocolate mix and marshmallows. So that's five gifts, teachers, postman, daughters, etc.
I made sugar cookie dough and froze it. We plan on have a family cookie decorating party in the next couple of weeks.
I have been downloading Kroger's Merry Days of Christmas coupons everyday so far. I picked up the ones that were in stock this past week and I made sure to get my Free Friday download too.
I froze some of the croissants I bought that were discounted at Kroger this past week. I'm using the rest for Chicken salad sandwiches today.
I used a 30 % off coupon for JC Penny to buy some pants for me. I also used the $10 off $10 coupon to buy some little things for stockings at Yankee Candle.

My goals for next week:
In and around the Home:
Wrap some more presents.
Go for walks. I have trouble just finding the time to go outside for a walk with watching grandchildren, the blog, and household duties. It seems its dark in the morning and evening when I have time to walk. So I have been walking inside. I just go around and around my living room (it's big). I usually do this before anyone gets up and before I post free Kindle books. I watch T.V. as I walk and have gotten caught up in the news (I'm not sure this is a good thing). I even watched my favorite P. Allen Smith garden show. I know it's kind of crazy but it works. So far husband hasn't caught me. One day he will though and I'm sure he will laugh his head off.
Blog:
Write a book review.
