Things I have splurged on…
March 10th, 2010
Things I have splurged on since our Tax Return came on Friday:
- New sponges for the sink
- New toothbrushes
- 2 plastic storage bins
- Pantene Shampoo
- ICE CREAM!!!
It is nice to have some money in the bank again! Thanks everyone for your prayers last week, this week has been a complete u-turn. :)

Isn’t it crazy to think sponges and toothbrushes are a “splurge”! Alot of us are right there with you! I’m glad you are getting a little break from the tough stuff.
Krista, are you using coupons??!! I spend VERY VERY little on toothbrushes/paste and shampoo, well, toiletries in genereal!!

You can do it!
Yay!!! very exciting. I love that you added ice cream
Sara, I’ve been meaning to ask you about the coupon thing… I use them when they come in mailers. But do you print out additional ones and do the combo coupons? Does that actually work? Like stacking a mailer coupon with a manufacturers coupon or something, is that how you do it?
Krista, it would be easiest to chat in person, so feel free to call or stop by anytime! But, yes, I print out coupons, use the ones from the mail, and get them from the Sunday paper. One time I even put an add on Freecycle to collect other people’s coupons, and it totally worked! I would do it regularly if we didn’t already get the paper, and would do if there was a really good week. Anyway, stacking manuf. coupons with store coupons, in addition to using extra care bucks (cvs) and register rewards (walgreens) makes things very cheap! I never spend more than a $1 on toothbrushes or paste or dish soap or cereal (and never generic)!
