Weekend in review..

We went to Costco today. We had our coupons and were going aisle to aisle filling our buggy with bulk items such as toilet paper, bounty, spaghetti sauce, etc. After spending 45 minutes in the store we passed a woman handing out raisins. As we strolled by her she said "You know those coupons aren't good until the 11th!" Really, the 11th? That's Thursday. We politely rolled our buggy to a separate end of the store and left. Are we that out of it? Apparently so. We didn't even bother to read our coupons. Brent swears he thought it said March 1st. I just assumed they were good to use because we got them in the mail early last week. Needless to say the Thomas family was pretty ticked with themselves when they left the store.

Brent did buy me the new Nicholas Sparks' book "The Last Song". I'll start reading it this week on my lunch break and fill you all in on how it is.

Back to the coupons-- At a bridal shower this weekend I got into a conversation about coupons. I always thought Publix (due to Brent's opinions) was the most expensive place to buy groceries. The lady told me that Publix doubles coupons up to $1.00. Is this true? Can anyone share any coupon knowledge with me? I'd love to cut our grocery bill down a few dollars each week. My current use of coupons is: Cutting them from the paper, filling them in envelopes labeled "Personal", "Food" & "Cleaning". I then take them to Wal-Mart with me and voila... approximately $1.00 in savings. I'd really like to up this! Any information will be much appreciated.

I'm off to watch the Oscars...and actually cheer for Avatar. Who'd a thought that?? I really liked that movie though so go Blue people!
