Saving, Saving, Saving.....

Hubby's job is slowing down, With his overtime in the past we have done so much( hubby's check supports our family and his in Honduras) , now that work is slow I am thankful I have some things saved and still have "money" to roll at CVS and some at Walgreens. At CVS I have $47.98 to roll and I am hoping that I continue to roll this throughout the year. At Walgreens I am expecting a $20.88 gift card and have $8 in R.R. I hope to keep going.
My stock for health and beauty aids consists of 3 rubbermaid boxes( 2 full and one 3/4 way full) a shelf of things in my closet and a windowsill of things. I have enough toothpaste to last 2 yrs( 1/2 is going to Honduras when we send a box down ) , about 20 toothbrushes, 10 mouthwashes, 14 lotions, 16 body washes, and maybe 10 hair care stuff, also I have make-up, bandaids, and I hope to continue stocking up. I still can't believe all I have , last year I never thought I could shop at CVS and save the money I have. Cheryl

Trying to be Frugal..

For the past 3 1/2 yrs I have been trying to be more and more frugal. I think for 2 yrs I was kind of in shock from loosing almost everything due to Hurricane Katrina and then for 6 months I was just trying to get it together. Finally I am getting it. For the first time in 15 yrs of using coupons I am actually making them working for me . I have a stock pile full of health and beauty aids, cleaning products and some food. Not having a freezer, a small rental house, and our food needs sometimes hampers this but I am doing this. Daily I discover new ways to be better, and I am feeling good about it. Cheryl
