    -had a lovely new years -went to hubby's brother/sister-in-law and they brought in swiss chalet -we paid for our part 30.00 not bad to spend on new years eve
    -then had one drink each and played skip-bo and crackle-fun then we sat around and talked so openly -its so refreshing to be able to chat so honestly with family /but they are like very good friends

    -rebates 60.83 up from the year before by half
    -checkout51 and snapsaves 298.35 down a 100.00 from year before as I bought less or less deals that I need
    -scops 15.86-way down from the year before -maybe stores are getting better pricing things right
    -sold on kijiji last year 148.25 -better than donating a bit of money extra in my pocket

    Happy New Year everyone. We also had a quiet night at home. Watched the first 2 Lethal Weapon movies. The other 2 were on too but we were too tired to watch.

    Happy New Year all

    Well December wasn't a good month for me found out one of my sister has bladder cancer she will be starting treatment this month.

    My youngest DD has frequent attacks of kidney stones which happens at 4 times a month so i'm usually in charge of the kids

    My depression has gotten the best of me in December too many things going on .A few days ago fell down a flight of stairs broke a rib and black and blue from hip to my knee on both sides,hurt my back and both arms now i have to take it easy.

    I hope 2016 is a better year as 2015 wasn't that great

    coupongirl i have been keeping track of what i have saved through the year will have to check it out and see how much i've saved

    Got to get busy and work on my budget for 2016 have to get that damn LOC paid off so no unnecessary spending and try to make more money somehow .

    Well making some spaghetti sauce better go and check on it .

    Happy new year all.

    Wow coupongirl I envy being organized enough to keep track!
    You and Me I hope you heal quickly.


    I quit baking as much last year as our oven doesn't hold temperature and has to be baby sat.

    I have couponed for 33 years and have kept track in a 300 page coil ring hilroy note book
    -yep in this book it starts
    1982(the year my daughter was born) 34.50 in rebates and 131.31 in coupons -lol
    I think I have come a long way (its a hobby I never tire of) and now with groceries going up this year more and more people should be price matching using points programs and sales and stocking up

    Happy New Year Everyone,

    I was in bed by 9:30 hoping to stay on my work schedule but that did not work. I woke up a few times last night as I naturally sleep on my hurt shoulder and I woke up with my arm numb a few times. Woke up just before 7 but didn`t get out of bed until 8:30 as I found a way to lay where my shoulder did not hurt.

    Think I am going to email my Bro and tell him I need to borrow on of his guys on Monday to move the big items to my new office. There will only be a few big items as I am not taking my computer as I will now only be using a lap top but don`t think I can lift my chair to move it right now.

    Had a good talk with Mom about the fact we need to be more organized this year as we have no idea what this year will bring. My schedule is going to be all over the place and no one really knows what to expect. She has no idea what is going on with her work, they have lost a number of employees but head office does not want to replace anyone so they are in a holding pattern until their year end in February to see where they will stand on hours for her department.

    I had planned to do some batch cooking today for the freezer but that is not going to happen so I will move that plan to tomorrow. With that being said I am going to type out a plan today that I can follow tomorrow to maximize my time. I have discovered and simple spreadsheet keeps me on track.

    I am off to look at pinterest for some inspiration, have a great day everyone.
