    girl, you must start couponing. i’ve been doing it for almost a year now and have saved tons. i use a binder and i adore it! oh and batch cooking… i need to get on that and do it often. i made two lasagna’s the other night, one for dinner and one for the freezer. so glad to know that one night i have an easy dinner awaiting me!

    so no wonder we haven’t heard from you all day! I love love love the new look on the blog! Okay, I have done the couponing biz and LOVE IT I am taking a sabatical (sp?) right now do some life hang ups but don’t worry I will return (not that you were worrying). I did the binder. I came right out of that too and started saving my coupons from the paper in an accordian file filed by date… found the method on a blog but it saved me tons of time. I thought carissa had come out of that binder system too but I am going to have to consult her on this!

    I am so with you! In fact, I beat you to it by about a week! Last week, a coworker was clipping coupons at work and storing them in a handy dandy binder, so I decided to jump on the wagon. I don’t know how I didn’t do this before, it’s totally on my OCD spectrum….but it’s official now, I bought the binder, clipped and organized! Sunday will be my first shopping trip, so we’ll see how it goes!

    i’m a coupon junkie, batch cooker and stockpiler…we should chat! i have a packed-full binder. the only thing i don’t love about it is removing the expired ones. usually when they get close to expiring, i’ll give them to someone at the grocery store. i’ve also been starting to shop every other week, which saves me about 3 hours every other week (i shop at 3+ stores to make the money go farther). call me! :)

    I know I need to coupon shop and I have the best intentions but I falter in the organization department. I cut them and shove them and don’t use them. Is that a syndrome maybe? When I saw that book with them all beautifully displayed… my heart skipped a beat. Wonderful. Wonderful site you have. I am totally in! :)

    LOVE the new look!

    I heart coupons! I have a coupon binder & have learned how to save us a whole lot of $$$! I also have started doing the stockpiling thing. I wish my pantry looked like that one too. Thanks for sharing!
