A little help with my 31 day FREE challenge

It's officially March 1st, since it's after 2 am here. Tomorrow, I'll go on my first FREE shopping trip, to see what I can get for nothing.

My mailbox was full of coupons today & a sample. These coupons will come in handy when I'm looking to get products for free. I still want to try & stretch them & get a little more if I can. We'll have to wait & see, as it all depends on the sales. I hate to pay a lot for anything these days. I've been couponing and refunding and raking in the savings.

Here are the coupons & sample I received in the mail today:

One box of Hamburger Helper Microwave Singles
One $8 coupon off Iams dog or cat food
One coupon good for one Stouffers party size meal (up to $12.99)
One coupon for a FREE bottle of Coffee-Mate creamer (up to $4.50)
One coupon for a free bag of Purina dog food (up to $7.19)
One coupon for one package of General Mills food product (up to $6.00)
One coupon for a FREE 6 pack of Yoplait Yogurt drink or cups (up to $3.65)

This is a great way to start off my challenge. Now to see if I can stretch these coupons with a sale.

March Challenges

I've been such a bad blogger. I just didn't have anything upbeat & fun to write about. I hope that all changes soon. I'm planning on doing 2 challenges in March..and I'm really excited about both of them.

Starting March 1st, I'm going to see how much I can get for free. I'm going to do this for the entire month, and will give you a weekly update on how I do. I can't wait to get started!

Last but certainly not least, I'm joining in Barb's "31 days of March" challenge. You can read more about the challenge by going here:

Barb will be posting promts daily, and participants have to take a photo, and or write about it or make a LO. I'm super excited to get started. I hoping this will kick start my creative juices so I can get back to scrapping. I haven't made a LO or a card in 2008. :shock:

Our Weather

It's February. Are you covered in snow? Battling record rains? Or enjoying the sun? Take a picture today that captures your Feb. weather. Too cold to go outside - why not take a pix of a thermometer or you heater or electric blanket? Share your photo if you get a chance. We'd love to see what your weather is like.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our weather is a warm 75 today. It's really nice out & feels like the perfect spring day. I've got all the windows open. I just wish I felt good enough to run some errands today, as it's supposed to rain over the next few days.

How I spent my Saturday

Photo a day promt:

It's Saturday. Is it a special Saturday for you with an "event" to photograph? Or a typical Saturday driving the kids to games, practices, or doing chores? Either way, take a photo to commemorate your Saturday activity.

-------------------------------------------------

My blood pressure is really low today, making me feel like a wet rag. It's been running high, but took a nose dive early this morning. That forced me to spend the day in bed. I had my laptop to keep me busy, although I would have rather been shopping. I'm missing out on a lot of good deals. :-( If I have to stay in bed, at least I can log on to my favorite board.
