Extreme Couponing, Houston Frugal Living Blog
OHHH Happy Day!
This is when I run to the neighbors and work and print a few coupons! 🙂 If you look under zip 77477 you can find a coupon for $.50 off Fresh Express salad blends and a $.50 off coupon for Cherub tomatoes! Thanks Hip!
If you have a store that doubles, what a deal! If you don’t I would use them at Walmart where they will be cheapest.
I am sooo excited to see this back again this year! Every year my kids go to the FREE day camps they have at the Apple store in the mall. They get a FREE t-shirt and have so much fun. You do not have to bring anything with you, and it is FREE. They fill up fast so you need to get on it if you want to do it!
At Apple Camp, kids aged 8-12 learn how to shoot their own footage, create an original song in GarageBand on an iPad, and put it all together in iMovie on a Mac. This free workshop, held at the Apple Store, spans three days and ends with campers debuting their masterpieces at the Apple Camp Film Festival. Space is limited and workshops fill up quickly so sign up now for a super creative adventure.

O.K. I need a little advice….
We are purchasing a new (used, but new to us!) vehicle. I really wish I didn’t need to get one because the one that I have right now if perfectly fine. BUT, it does not fit our family. It seats 8 and we have 9. If we go anywhere as a family we have to take 2 vehicle’s, which with the gas prices is not very cost effective and I really like us to be all together.
This is my dilemma. I can get the one I want, a suburban that seats 9. OR, I can get the more practical and less expensive big ‘ol van. The van seats 11, but does not have much storage in the back and we need it for sports equipment. However, we can actually have the kids friends come with us. The suburban has more cool features and more room in the back but I would have to get an older model with more miles for the same price.
** This would be where I have to explain that my Mom has driven the same large van my ENTIRE life, I swore I would NEVER drive one! This is also where I have to be an adult and make a smart/frugal decision and get over childhood trauma! 🙂
What do you think?
As long as we were talking about buying vehicles, I don’t know much, but my husband worked as a wholesaler for a while so I have a few tips.
