Hello everyone, we have been on a mission to tighten the purse strings again. I have been watching youtube and one person I really learned a ton from is One Cute Couponer. I bought all of the things in this photo and spent $10.83 before, after Michigan tax I paid $12.14 at Family Dollar.  The photo below is the proof. I had no paper coupons but did have a load of smart coupons.   I did not come up with this deal on my own. I have been watching youtube and learning from One Cute Couponer.  This deal starts at 8:15 in the video. I followed her instructions very carefully. I took notes and ventured into the store and it worked.  I decided to purchase the Tide Pods instead of the kids Sauve shampoo. We do not use kids shampoo in our house. This is not the first time I have tried it, I am sold. No more cutting paper coupons for me. I must give a shout out-Thank You Erika aka One Cute Couponer. What have you saved money on lately?

The view from the front door.  Winter has moved into our part of the country and is showing no sign of leaving this far into March. This is a photo during a major storm that shut schools for two days. The little blop of orange in the center of the photo is my darling husband clearing off my car while plowing the driveway. It has been years since we have seen this much snow from one storm. The roof you can see a little bit of to the right is the garage, see how tall the snow banks are. We were able to play in the snow having some free frugal family fun. Snowshoeing with Sasquatch.  Noah and I enjoyed the event. The trails were in excellent shape and the scenery was beautiful.  I wish I have taken more photos. You can tell by the photos how tall my youngest son has got, he just turned 16 and is 6 foot 2. He has outgrown the pants that he got for Christmas he is growing so quickly. We enjoyed the fresh air and family frugal fun, that included ...
