$679.85

Now for a family of 6 I don't think to many people would be shocked to hear that you spend $679.85 on groceries. Especially if they include ALL of the items they purchase at the store as their groceries (diapers, TP, toothpaste etc.). Well my heart is happy to say that I did not spend that much this time....that is how much I SAVED! WHOO HOO! Yep, I saved all that using coupons! I remember when I was one of those people that said "I never use the stuff in the coupon ads, so I see no point in getting them" or " the store brand is always cheaper" Not true. Your also probably wondering how much I spent in order to get that kind of savings.... any guesses?? I would like to hear them. So much that the closest person to my total without going over wins a little surprise from me :) Yes like the Price is Right (I have always wanted to be a contestant) **** I have at least 2 months to give it to you.
And just a little tid bit of info. I do include diapers and wipes as groceries. I only have 1 kid in diapers but 3 using toilet paper (sometimes)
And Amber M....sorry I already told you so you can't be in this one ;)

EDIT: THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOMETIME TOMORROW :) LIKE 8isH

    Amber, this is awesome! I need to get more active about my couponing, but so far the little that I have done, I am very happy with. My latest big score was last week when I spent 80.00 and saved 103.00 at Albertsons :)
    I'm gonna guess that you spent 345.00 this month, I can't wait to see the answer!

    I am going to guess $317.95. =) I am inspired by the two of you couponing gals - maybe if I could get my brain to settle down a bit I might try it. We'll see...

Okay Dallas when you hit the ball you need to run to 1st base, 2nd base, and then home.....no mom! I don't want to go home!Reese was outside singing today while she was on the swing. And she says to me. "Mom, the sun is coming out because I am singing....I am wakin it up!" Keep singing girl, keep singing!Dallas: Look mom his doesn't have twin wheels! (translation:training wheels)Dallas: When I am a daddy....I want one of those baby Norahs.So sweet!Reese: Mom I like these things...What things? Reese: These Rat-tat-too-ies Do you mean Tattoos?Reese: Yah! TattoosDallas was holding Norah and this is what he said....Norah pooped. She pooped 3 times....Oooo....she pooped 10 times mom!!Reese was going to the bathroom and when she was done she looked (as all kids do) and said "oooo, look mom. I ate carrots!"Reese has been wanting her ears pierced. She spent that night at Ambers house and asked her if she could do it. Amber told her that it would hurt and after she did one ear she would have to do the second ear. She said "how bout you do the second ear first"We been telling the kids that Norah can't have anything to eat because she is to little. Dallas walks in the hospital and get up to look at Norah and says: "I want to see if she has a mouth"In the morning when the kids wake up they come and crawl in bed with us. I was laying on my side talking with Reese. She looked at me and said "Mom...your boobs are hugging" I just laughed. She then said "they love each other" The thoughts of a 5 ....and just in case you were wondering. I was wearing a tank top ;)Mom....when I am a mom I will have two kids and then we will have lots of kids at our house!!(And what do we have now...I am thinking)Dallas looked at my blog and the picture of the "barefoot and pregnant""mommy that's you!"Boy do I love that kid ;)My room is usually a mess. Of course I have all the "good" excuses as to why :) Well my surprise when I got home from work was a nice clean room with a made bed.When Reese came and got me this morning she said "Mom your room is Amazing!"

the things they say...

Reese: Hey mom look! She walks just fine and doesn't even need a cane! (we were at costco and she said this about an elderly lady...nice!)
