Coupon Craze

When Jordy and I moved here just about 3 months ago, the Spence's so kindly took us in. Recently, Shelley a new friend and fellow staff wife, introduced me to coupons! I've always wanted to be a big saver, but I would only just clip coupons for things that I was going to the store to buy. But then I was introduced to bid money savers, tons of websites from women who just look for a great deal, and not to mention this lovely thing called a Sunday newspaper (on sale by the way at my local grocery store on Sundays). It's totally great! Today has just been a fantastic day!!

I started off today being advised for the spring semester and since I was anticipating the worst; things turned out actually BETTER than I expected. I am officially enrolled in 14 hours in hopes that I can get into another class racking that up to 16 total hours!! YAHOO!!! No problemo today with enrolling. Thank ULM; thanks for working to improve the life of your students :)

After that, I was offered a job at a private school here in Monroe, but due to my school next semester I am just filling in until they can find someone full time. BUT until then I get paid VERY good money and I'm on the sub list which just adds to more dough rolling in!!

The day just kept getting better and better! I then headed to the store to buy groceries before the after school rush and I brought tons of coupons with me. After successfully getting everything on my list, I decided to get reusable bags (which by the way saves every time you bring them) and then handed over all of my coupons. Grand totaling up to $90 and I saved $30!!!!!!

Today has just been a fantastic day. I mean the Lord knew that Jordy and I could use the money around Christmas time and provided us with this job for me. He knows how stressed I can get when enrolling for school and when I got there EVERYTHING went sooo well! And I saved lots today at the store! Praise be to HIM! Thank you Lord for being our provider!
