It's June already!!!!

The older I get the faster times slips away.  May and June are just flying by.  June is a busy month around our home.  We have three birthdays.  Ice cream and cake overload!!  June also is the beginning of a "nesting" of sorts for me.  I feel the need to clean out closets, drawers and cabinets.  Thankfully I get regular calls from not-for-profit groups who are more then willing to come and pick up our precious crap....I mean treasures.
I also seem to steam clean the carpets on a weekly basis because of all the dirt that gets tracked in.  Children and dogs can really track in the dirt.  Now if I could just hire a painter to tackle the inside painting jobs (because I just don't want to do it) the house would look wonderful.

I'm also working on getting my coupon binder back up and running.  Over the last few weeks I've been able to save around 50-67% weekly on our grocery bills.  I shop at CVS/Walgreens/Homeland to get the biggest savings.  Here is the start of my stock pile. 




You will never see me on Extreme Couponing.  I see no need to stay up all night cutting coupons then spend six hours shopping and two hours checking out so you can buy $2,000 worth of "stuff" for $47.34.  I need to save on the things that we really use. 

I can't wait for July.  I plan to spend way too much time in the pool.  Come on July!!
