So I completely messed up this month and let you guys down as well 🙁 I didn’t play the March Swagness event like I should have and know that I lost out on a few Amazon gift cards 🙁
BUT WE HAVE UNTIL APRIL 2nd!!!
They were running a fun game this month. See the Meter in the picture, that was tracking your swag. As you earn Swag Bucks throughout the day, that meter will fill up and when it’s full, you’ll have earned your bonus for the day. The bonus will always be 10% of that day’s goal. Be sure to check in everyday, as the earning goal for any given day could be higher or lower than the day before. Your total bonus amount will continue to accumulate each day, and your bonus amount will be applied at by April 5th – this special promotion runs through April 2nd. If you hit the earning goal every single day of March Swagness, your bonus amount will be doubled!
This is a super sweet deal if you are in Houston! Today at VOICE (by the Houston press) you can get 1/2 price tickets to the Butterfly Center at the Houston Museum.

I am getting them for when we have company come this summer and want to go to the museum or downtown.

This weekend you can expect to find 3 coupon inserts in your Sunday paper. The P&G, the Red Plum and the Smart Source! This is a good week to pick up a few extra papers as the P&G is so nice to have a few extra of!
** FIRST – I want to tell you something you already know… when you have a clean, organized binder or storage method and coupons cut out, life is soooo much better! When you need to go to the store and have no coupons to take with you ready, it is frustrating as you know that you are just wasting money. Start off the New Year by giving yourself the gift of saving money by being able to find those coupons!
If you have inserts just piled around start by getting them all together by insert. OR this also applies if you get really behind in cutting them out.
Always start by cutting the most recent inserts out first. These can be the most import ones to get cut out for a few reasons.
I store my coupons 2 different ways. Each week I cut out 3 of my inserts (every coupon) and I organize them in my binder. You can see how I organize my binder HERE and how to make one. The other 6 or so inserts I store in a file box as whole inserts.
I label in big huge numbers the date that the insert came out. You can find the date by looking on the spine of the insert like in the picture above. Then I store them in the file box until I need a coupon and cut them out as I need them.
I started doing it this was because my binder was getting too big when I cut out about 10 inserts a week. Plus it was taking me too long and I was putting off doing it. If I can have at least 3 of each coupon with me in my binder I am really happy with that. If it is a HUGE sale and I have planned ahead I can cut out the additional coupons I will need and add them to my binder OR I might have to actually try and come back to take advantage of a deal if I don’t have enough coupons on me.
If you get too far behind get some help, or just start over! No worries just jump on in where ever you can! Last night I paid this little girl $5 to pull all the inserts out of the papers and sort them for me. It took her 2 hours, it would have taken me an hour, but sooooo worth $5!

This is my “discount” dog Miller. He is a Labradoodle that I got a great deal on! We had to have a dog that didn’t shed and that was hypo-allergenic because of my kids asthma. I got him after the hurricane when I didn’t have power for 20 days, and my husband was in Dallas for work and I was home alone with 6 little kids (at the time) and no power, and the news was freaking everyone out about looters. Plus it was so hot you had to have all the windows open all day and night. I also had a very sick little 7 month old baby that I had to sit in the car an nebulize every 4 hours because we had no power. I had to run a travel nebulizer from the cigarette lighter in the car. It was a very stressful and scary time. I love Miller!
Not such a happy time… WOW! What a downer for Friday! ANYWAY, I buy Miller all the dog treats that he wants!

Part comedian, part Dad, part athlete. He will boss around your children while they play ball.
Just as angelic as she looks, this girl could easily raise a Village by herself, and all the children would grow up to be President.
Self proclaimed, she would be a webkinz dog. Because, "they're cute, and puppies are too. And they're sweet and they always get along with other puppies."
This mini-Martha Stewart can handle ANY craft you send her way. She isn't all bows and rainbows, she's got karate kid moves!
Not "Pick-Me-Up" like caffeine, she wants you to pick her up! AND NOW!
Anything that can be destroyed WILL be destroyed!
Practically Perfect in Every Way for now! Nicknamed "The Panda" she is rolly polly and lives by the motto, "the little one, is KING!"
The resident Labradoodle, Miller got his name because Mom won and got to name the baby! Need something chewed up? He'll take care of it. Especially if it's expensive..
