I spent a little time today looking at online coupons and rebates and ended up with a nice little stash for things we use often.

I signed up for a few deals, clicked some my points links, and basically focused on improving our budget.

We got another truckload of wood delivered...we will get close to 15 cords of madrone...which means a little over $2000 profit for the winter...which will come in handy now that we know the bug business wont be paying salaries for a few months. I am hoping between the wood and the puppies, I will make enough to cover my lost salary...and that if I do get a PT job, that money will all be extra.

I am stocking up on lots of things and will probably be able to cut our grocery budget back in the winter too.

And since we heat the house with a woodstove, out heating bill is nill since we get our wood for basically free.

I really appreciate all of the tips that are shared on this site. I almost always sign up for the freebies and coupons that are mentioned.

I enjoy the days that my shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer, deodorant, laundry soap, etc, etc...are free.

I also enjoy getting to try things I would never actually buy...I feel so pampered!!

I guess I am just a grateful blogger.
