Welcome to my Diary.

I created this blog to chronicle my path into frugal living. I will be posting in diary/journal format and hope to be able to help others thru my experiences.
Thank you in advance for allowing me to be a part of your day.

I'm BACK!

Wow,  I almost forgot about this blog.  I have forgotten exactly how and what to do to make the page look the same, lol.  Its been 2 years since I have posted anything here about couponing.  I'm still very much into saving and trying to live frugally, although alot has changed in 2 years.  I moved to live closer to my kids and grandkids, as well as my friends.  It has been a slight struggle,  but I feel I am back on track and am doing what I can to improve the lifestyle I wish to provide for myself and my family.  I have started using Swagbucks to earn points that get me gift cards, which I then use to further my coupon savings.  My stockpile is growing ever larger and I am now feeling a little more comfortable knowing that the week to week struggles are slowly stretching out and becoming fewer and farther between.  That is a comforting feeling.  No more worries about where that next roll of toilet paper will come from, lol.  As I become ever increasingly back into the "Frugal Fray", I also hope to start blogging more regularly to keep up with my couponing activities.
While I had taken the blog break, I DID create a little Couponing 101 handout kinda thing.  So many people were asking me how I was doing all the saving, so I made an informational note that I can share on my Facebook page.   I will see about adding the info here to my blog, so that readers can see how much I have learned over the past few years.
