Coffeemate Bistro Party

Coffeemate has a wonderful opportunity for me to have a free friday coffee party. They were so awesome that they gave me all of the materials for the coffee and 16 coupons to give to my guest. We has a wonderful time. It was so fun to get together and enjoy eachothers company. I would like to share the love with you all. I have 5 coupons for free coffeemate creamer, up to a $3.99 value. It is such a great thing. It allows you to get the big bottle for free. What could be better that that. In order to get an entry just follow my blog and let me know that you did so in the comments. I will draw a winner on Valentine's day.

Couponing

Since it is the new year and many have made alot of resolutions I will share mine (a few weeks late, i know). I have vowed to get better about my couponing. As it stands right now I spend approx. $125 per week of all of our groceries, toiletries, and pet food. I do coupon. I save around $60 every week. I think that I am doing ok. When I break it down it is only about 33% savings. The problem is that I am stuck in a rut. I can't seem to get the budget any lower. I really prefer to by fresh, whole food. I try to keep the family at least 80-85% whole foods. As much as I would love to go 100% whole food, I know that we will get busy and what take-out, or something quick. I can't figure out a way to get whole foods lower. Any suggestions?
