Frugal February-the sequel

[thriftygranny]

Good question Avon, i spend about an hour a week organizing my coupons and I spend about an hour organizing my lists for the week and planning menus.I am really tired of organizing coupons right now so I need to take a couple of hours and clean up my binder. I find there aren't' a lot of coupons out there right now either, but with working now I have less time to look! I am really enjoying the PC points right now.

QOTD-Same as most of you-about an hour or less per week going through the email from PC plus and Checkout 51 and scanning the flyers and writing my list which is handwritten. I don't have a smart phone either-too pricy. My DH just scans our receipts and sends them from our computer to checkout 51 but we really don't buy a lot of the items they pay on so will take awhile to get to a $20 rebate.

Spend about an hour reading the paper and flyers weekly. I write out my list and PMing info on an envelope and put coupon etc in the envelope that I plan to use.

Points I collect at the moment:

1. PC points
2.CT $ on the card
3. SDM

Well i'm back hope i can keep up with this thread.Last month was not a good month for me hardly left the house except to do my cleaning customers and helping my DD with her work,i spent $20 in all for food as i have a lot of items in the freezer still and pantry.

I haven't been sleeping so i'm tired all the time can't seem to want too do much,i made an appointment with the Dr so will see.Well see you later off to eat breakfast and have a second cup of tea

Hope you get some much needed rest, good luck at your appointment and due to the snow and storms it appears that a lot of people did not get out and really have no motivation.

QOTD.. maybe 15-20 minutes to scan the papers.. i rarely coupon so its more of PM'ing.

Just signed up for checkout 51 but Haven`t bought any of the products yet. I may never get to a rebate! I do really like the PC Plus though.

Grabbed eggs at SDM for $1.99 a dozen. Limit was 2. Think I will grab 2 more on Thursday. We go through eggs big time. Also bought some chocolate lol PMS!!

so ds1 is $200.00 richer as the couple just came a picked up his brio train set, glad it's gone as we are 2 rubbermaids less to store .

Also there is a lady who is coming by this evening to pick up a framed Beatrix potter picture for $6.00 tonight....yippee...

Have sold 1 of dh's dvds for $5.00 so just need to arrange pickup/meetup or whatever.

So all in all the March Break Fun Fund is slowly growing and thanks to Frugalmama I got some of those Betty Crocker snacks that have the b1g1 cinexplex codes which will be helpful during March Break .

Took the pictures last night and uploaded a short while ago so here's hoping I sell what I posted so far. I find it aggravating though that the facebook pages only allow 3 posts per day.....I understand they need to limit the # of posts but good golly I want to post everything all at once .

My word I am so lazy today, I haven't even started the laundry yet and I will admit I don't feel like cooking but I have no choice as I am watching what I am eating and don't want to have any takeout/take in until Valentine's Day so 11 more days before that will happen and that will be my 1st cheat treat meal.

Hoping to get my motor running and do some baking but I don't want too , I think I may just do that before I start supper....just maybe.

What a beautiful day here the sun is shining and it's a decent temperature outside. Now going to start that laundry as it won't start itself and I don't know why I am procrastination it's not like I have to wash them by hand....blah

Well so far I have been out to pick up a few groceries but need to bake some cookies for DD's field trip tomorrow and help her pack when she is home from school and make dinner( finished laundry last night). Now I am not sure why they are going cross country skiing tomorrow at Lake Louise for 3 days when it is -22 but apparently it is supposed to warm up some-lets hope so. So trying to pack warm clothes and some junkier high calorie snacks as I think they will be needing to keep warm.

Great job Nancy selling stuff!!!

oh and I almost let all my cottage cheese FPC's expire. Friday was the last day and we had to eat and hit DS's hockey game so I said just forget going after game to redeem them as we were tired etc. My honey said lets go before game so we did and I redeemed all 8 coupons on the big tub ($4.79 value at my store) with no issues. So we will be making lasagna for sure, and he will snack on a few but I don't like it on it's own. Yuck lol

Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are in the oven and now for my frugal part of the day-I love the Moneysense magazine and my last copy came today. I always renew it using airmiles but I don't have any dream airmiles left-so will renew it for 2 years using 220 airmiles from DH which will save me 49.90 for the 2 year subscription. It is my only subscription and well worth using airmiles as what I learn often saves me money or at least makes me stop and think!
