I just got a notice from Procter & Gamble that there will be a coupon book with over $45 in coupon savings in THIS SUNDAY'S paper (the Tulsa World here and the Lawrence Journal-World in KS). The booklet will include coupons for Pepto-Bismol, Puffs, and Bounty- just to name a few. I don't usually get the paper, but I may stop by a rack to catch this offer.
Don't forget about the other great offers P&G has going til the end of the month here!

I've been to a Dave & Buster's in Kansas City and it has more games geared toward adults than kids. Kids can still enjoy some games, but it's more of a fun place to go out on a date! The nice thing is that there shouldn't be as many screaming kids (like at Incredible Pizza)!

Free $25 Sam's Club Gift Card with New Membership

Sam’s Club has another great promotion going on for new members!

Join Sam’s Club as a new member Thursday, January 15th, through Wednesday, January 21st, and receive a $25 Sam’s Club Gift Card. Though Sam’s Club doesn’t accept coupons, there are several items that are a smart buys there for any size family. I really utilize Sam's when doing once-a-month cooking. It saves me a lot of time and money!

Here are some ideas from the Deal Seeking Mom on how to save:
One other thing that we’ve started stocking up on there is rechargeable batteries! Deals on those don’t come along often, and you get way more for your money, usually with a charger included.

If you have a smaller family, you could always split a membership with a close friend or family member and then divvy up the food between you to still get the low prices buying in bulk can net without wasting any food.

After a long break....

I'm BACK! After a long break and a lot of travel and company at our house, I'm finally back to blogging. Sorry for the extended silence, but I'm back with good news.

First off, I'll be speaking THIS Thursday, Jan. 8 at the Owasso MOMS Club about couponing, budgeting and meal planning! I'm so excited about this opportunity, and I'll be publicizing this blog there as well.

Secondly, my first talk will be followed up by another great opportunity that Jenny Brown and I have been wanting to see happen for awhile now. As of right now, Wednesday, January 14 will be the kick-off of 2 sessions of a 4 week class teaching about meal planning and make-ahead meals! We're excited to be partnering with our church- Liberty Church in Broken Arrow, to offer this class in correlation with a nutrition study that our children will be participating in at the same time. So not only will the classes be free and open to any mom interested- but there will be child care available PLUS the older children will be learning about healthy nutrition at the same time! We'll be meeting this Tuesday to finalize our plans and figure out "curriculum". I'm so excited!

Be looking for regular updates on sales and coupons to help with meal planning and budgeting, as well as more information about our classes!

2009 is starting out to be a very busy- very exciting year for me... and this blog- I'm looking forward to what God has in store!
