I am grateful for a new year, with a fresh start! The year 2011 brought a lot of experiences in my life that has made me change the way I look at life, and I have truly grown from my challenges and spiritual experiences that I have had. I'm grateful for all of my trials and happy moments! I want to be able to think of ways to be happy EVERY SINGLE DAY! Life is too short to spend it being sad or down. I'm no blogger, so I hope that my desire to do this everyday will continue. I know that if we stay positive, and look up in life, anything negative will become a positive experience! With that said..........Let's Smile!

SMILE #38 Good Deals and Coupons

There is probably one phrase in my vocabulary that my husband dislikes, and it is....

But it was on ....


I smile when I get things at a good price!

I'm the type of person, that tries to find the cheapest solution to things.  Whatever it may be, i'm going to make sure I spend as little as possible! It makes me smile to know I made an effort to keep the monthly budget low (or just so I can spend it on something else :).  No i'm not a grocery coupon extremest!  I am in awe of that talent, but I've been there, done that and it was not for me.  I just couldn't take the time it required.  But I love good deals, and one way to get good deals is coupons!  If you are working on a craft project, make sure and print out a coupon, almost any craft store will take competitors coupons!  If you are going to a restaurant, look in the monthly coupon magazines that you get  in the mail.  Or the good old happenings book!  There are also, so many websites now that offer items for 50% off items.

I was at a clothing store recently, and got almost enough clothing for my daughters winter wardrobe (including two coats) for the next year and spent a very minimal amount!  It feels good!  

But to all my fellow friends that do the couponing for groceries!  Huge.. Hive.. Five!  I love it when people post their good deals on Facebook or Blogs!  

What did you get for a good deal recently that made you smile?
