If you live in Ohio today, you probably are looking outside at some light flurry-like weather called snow. It's not sticking around on the ground, but it is definitely not rain, and it's pretty cold outside, obviously! or we wouldn't have this snow. Please excuse my description -- I'm not a meteorologist :-) But let's look at the bright side . . . we knew this would happen. :-) I look at a lot of Easter pictures and we have had a lot of winter coats on during the Easter egg hunt! So I'm not surprised that winter just can't seem to make a disappearance quite yet.
Today is the start of T-Ball season for my 5-year old! Our very first official practice is tonight. I don't know if we'll actually have it since we have this kind of weather today . . . . being new to the sports scene and all - what makes a coach call off practice? We'll just wait and see what happens.
Had a great relaxing weekend. Saved lots of money with coupons :-) That always makes me smile . . . . makes my husband smile. He likes the part where we see the sub-total, and then the cashier starts in on my coupons and it goes down, down, down. His face gets happier for some reason . . . hhmmm. I saved $60 at Walmart this weekend - and that is not easily done. The manager actually had to come over and approve something; I'm not even sure why! I guess Walmart doesn't like it when you save so much money (which is why I don't like shopping there that much - they are not coupon-friendly, in my opinion). I actually scanned the right cashier ahead of time to see who looked like they would be friendly to us. Yes, I guess it's called "profiling". I know who the slow ones are . . . and I know that there are some who will say "we don't take printable coupons" - which isn't true, and they will just waste my time while they go ask the manager who will reply "yes, we do take them" and then while my entire family waits and waits, etc. So I look for the ones who I know are friendly. I don't care how long the line is. End of story :-)
I went to CVS yesterday and I had so many coupons and Extra Care Bucks that it literally started to pay for part of my tax! I paid $1.10 cash in the end. That's the first time I've ever done that well. And I walked out with $10.00 in Extra Care Bucks for the next time I shop. If you don't shop CVS with ECB's, you really should consider it.

We had that same weather yesterday...I woke up to...snow? My first thought was "ugh" but then I remembered that it wouldn't stay and sure enough, it was gone by the end of the day! :) It's still kind of cold today but it's enough for me to know that it will warm up soon.
And about your coupons...that's pretty amazing! I also love to save $ and it does make shopping so much more fun! I never used to have a problem paying full price for something but I often wait now (for a really great sale or clearance price) if I don't really need it right away and my hubby is much happier too! :)
