Couponing Deals for the week of 08/26/2018

Couponing can be overwhelming and/or time consuming~ I was there.  Completely overwhelmed with the amount of coupons and deals.  It doesn't have to be.  My advice to new couponers is to take it slow.  Start by picking up a Sunday paper and focusing on 1 deal for the week and adding on as you feel more confident and comfortable.  Soon you will be creating quite the stockpile :)

If have ECB's and/or Register Rewards, go ahead and apply them to this week's deals to lower your out of pocket expense :)

Our Menu Plan for the week of 08/27/2018

How was your weekend?

It would seem the boys have hit a growth spurt.  They get dressed and I saw a whole lot of tummy :(  I am very thankful to live in an area that they can pretty much wear shorts year round.  But their shirts are a different story.  They needed clothes but there is not much wiggle room in the budget.  I gave each of the boys $10 and we visited 3 thrift stores in our area.  To my surprise the boys have a  good time and enjoyed the hunt :)  They did really well and ended up spending $17 for 7 shirts total :)

Here is our menu plan for this week:

Breakfast
