My hobbies have varied throughout my lifetime. There's crosstitch, tole-painting, scrapbooking, card-making, jewelry making, beading, quilting (this is a new hobby) I sew with a friend every Thursday, and am learning so much. I am almost done with a project I am so excited about. I will be done next week and post the finished product. The other big hobby/project that I do is couponing. I have always been frugal and very careful in spending. But, I have been couponing for about four months and have been so amazed with the items I can get for free! My supp;ies of items are increasing dramatically and I am spending little to no money in the process! I am amazed at what coupons, doubling coupons and combining them with the right sale can really make things cheap! Here is a picture of the stash I got this morning. Three of my friends went with me and we went at 6:30 this morning. It was so nice without kiddos and we had free reign of the store.
7 cheeses, 5 flatbread melts, 2 airwick refills, 2-6 packs angel soft toilet paper, 4 Smart Balance butter, 2 V-8 Fusion, 1 Marshmallow, 2 cottage cheese, 2 Country Time Lemonade canisters, 4-8 packs juicy juice, 2 lunch meat packages, shaving gel, 1 tobasco sauce, Peanut bars.Total spent: $30.81 Total saved: $115.53
Yes, totally worth the hour and a half of preparation, the drive to St. George, and it was so fun with my girlfriends! Thanks, girls!
Stay tuned for some more great finds!

Okay how exactly did you do this? Store coupons? How many stores? This is fantastic really!
I'm loving couponing. Do you share coupons with friends or get several newspapers? I'm having a hard time figuring this out. I LOVE to get free or almost free stuff. I figure the hour it takes to prepare each week is just my way of "working" at home. I'm always looking for good websites. Hey, LOVE the face painting. We'll have to try it. I can't wait to see the quilt your making.
