Oh the Savings!!

My couponer friends be proud....

Today, I was e-mailed the Food Lion weekly saver and saw they were having a big BOGO sale.  I realized that I actually use some of those items (which is what usually keeps me from "couponing" I guess). I also realized I had coupons for some of these items...so I went to work. Here is what I ended up with.

2 boxes of Kraft Macoroni & Cheese: BOGO & $.55 Coupon
2 Jars of Miracle Whip: BOGO & 2 $1.00 off Coupons
5 cans of Del Monte vegis: 5/$5 and $1.00 off Coupon
8 cans Progresso Soup: 10/$10 and 2 $1.00/4 cans coupons
6 tubs cream cheese: BOGO and Buy 5 get $5.00 off coupon
6 things of Kraft Cheese: BOGO and Buy 5 get $5.00 off coupon
2 Hillshire Farms sausages: 2 for $6 and $.75 off coupon
2 bags of carrots: BOGO

Before the cashier took the MVP card and coupons it was $73.15. The total afterward was $24.64.
Total Savings: $48.51

Not bad for my first time, eh? Maybe, my couponer friends could have done better...but I'm pretty happy with the results!

Living Room Update

There have been some changes to the living room since we moved in.
 (Click here to see the before.)

I'm still looking for something for the wall over the couch. I might be going to Williamsburg soon to look at some stores there so maybe I'll have some luck?! I've also been keeping my eye out for a couple cute runners for my table. I've seen lots of cute placemats and napkins but no runners. So there it is as of now and I'm pretty happy with it. What do you think?

Bathroom Update:
We've been "pretty much" done with the guest bathroom for almost a month now but things keep coming up and we never get around to finishing the last couple things. Hopefully I can finish it up in the next week or so! Today we had to put in a new water heater...there goes another Saturday....

YOGA

Starting my first Yoga class tonight! Wish me luck! Wish I could find my yoga mat....it's probably with our ottoman.
