I just went shopping with my sister Laurie and believe me–I witnessed a pro in action. This chicky is really a coupon queen. She bought name brand stuff–that I never even look at because it’s too expensive–and paid pennies on the dollar. No kidding. The register rang up $88.00 and she only paid $37.00. Less than HALF. I had to keep reminding myself to snap my mouth back shut. I was speechless and you know that is a rare thing.
...when bathtime cost 49 cents?

So, I’m tired of being too busy to use coupons–because, quite frankly, I can’t afford to be too busy. When my dollar won’t stretch to afford all that I have in the cart–I have always put things back. Well, not anymore! I’m going to pull out my trusty coupons and take all that loot home.
Now if I could only figure out how.

So I asked her if she would do a little coupon class for all of us would-be penny pinchers–if I promised to make brownies or something…
…and she agreed. WAHOO!
So are you ready to be amazing? Who is interested?
Let me know in the “reply” section below and we’ll pick an evening in the next few weeks and post it here. It will be fabulous! For those of you interested–but out of the area–we’ll post the highlights here as well, so you can join the “Wise Women of the Mountain Coupon Club,” from a distance. This will be so fun!
Want a hint? Here’s a riddle…

With Valentine’s Day just a few weeks away, I wanted to show you a sweet way to give an easy treat to your friends.
First, make the Oatmeal Farm Cookies and let them cool.
Then decorate pink and purple dvd keepers with Valentine stickers and slip a cookie into each one. Next, punch a little hole in the upper corner and thread curly ribbon through to add some sparkle.
Aren’t they cute? And since the cookies are in a plastic envelope, they will stay fresh for a day or two, so it’s perfect for neighbors, co-workers or best friends. In fact, this little treat is so easy to make–you could give it to anyone who deserves a little extra sweetness this Valentine’s Day.
I realize that yesterday, the post was all about being healthy and strong for the winter, and now something strange has come over me. There seem to be cookies coming out of the oven. But it’s not my fault. If you were to look out the window this very minute, you would see that it’s snowing and raining in turns outside. And anyone can tell you that the only thing to do when it’s snowing or raining outside is to bake lots and lots of cookies…inside.
So you see–it can’t be helped.
