I'm teaching a coupon class at the Nampa Library ...

The Nampa library contacted me a few months ago about teaching a coupon class in April as a part of their Consumer Education week, so of course I said "yes!" I was thrilled, I could talk about coupons for hours!(Sadly, I'm now regreting that decision in fear I might throw up in their garbage can!)Wish me luck!

Just in case you know of anyone needing the basics, the class is Thursday, April 2nd & starts at 6:00 PM, lasts 1 hour and is FREE. (Or if you are really bored that night, just come and make silly faces at me.)

Just wanted to pass it along! I hope to see some of you!

This past month has been horrible, I've been so sick and in bed 6 1/2 days out of the week. I'm so grateful to be pregnant, i just want this to end!!! The only reason I went out today was because we were out of milk! I'm about to hop back in bed. Sorry I haven't been helpful lately! I made a few trips this morning and bought:

18 boxes of cereal at Albertson's. (Did 3 transactions)@ $ 1.57 per box
