2015

Well I am ready for 2015 already.  It's only been 5-6 weeks of 2014 and I've had enough.  In 5 weeks I have had to pay for plumbing issues twice, a garage door panel, and now today it looks like a new hot water heater.  I'm have temped to sell my house cause this is getting too expensive.  As a single mother working 50 hours a week, I can afford normal life things, not all these repairs.  Things better get better soon or it's going to be a long year. 

Coupons

I am NO extreme couponer or anything close.  I have bene using coupons for two months to try and save money.  In October I saved $50.  And in September it was around that too.  That is with just coupons.  I also buy things on sale.  So I probably save 75 a month.... no where near what I want to save though.  I am still learning on what works.  Some cashiers have no clue about coupons.  It can be stessful and frustrating at times.  Hopefully I will get better at couponing, I would like to save 200 a month.   There was an older lady in front of me yesterday that got  a cart full with NO coupons she only paid $108.  She used price matching and saved a ton.  All she bought was chicken, yogurt, juice, and something else but for the life of me I can't remember.  I love saving money, it is like a game to me.  I get a thrill out of it.  Maybe that means I don't have a life.  LOL!  :)
