Week 26: June 24-30 (HALF WAY)

So we are half way through my experiment and blogging. I've been thinking a lot about what my blog will be about next year, how I want to change it, what things I want to blog about. Still in the process of deciding, but I know it will look a lot different than this years.

I finally got all my websaver coupons this week. ACK! 3 weeks after ordering. They are all for Kellogg's cereals, which are ALL on sale this upcoming week. How awesome is that. We are headed to my parents this weekend, so I have purchased hardly any groceries this past week. Trying to eat up leftovers and eat up stuff in our freezer. We desperately need a Costco run this week so we've been trying to save our pennies. Here's what I scored:

Week 23: June 3-9

So we're 3 weeks away from being half way through the year! I've definitely got to admit i've been completely slacking in the whole "coupon" world. I haven't joined very many trains lately, mail has been super slow, trades are almost impossible as everyone wants FPC's only and well lets face it, sales have been lacking big time. I feel like i'm in a rut, which is not good. It's not that I don't care about getting deals, i'm just not rushing to the stores to get them anymore. Despite the slump I picked up some great deals on juice, yogurt and almond milk this week. Lets see how I fared:
