Date Night

I asked Larry out on a date Friday night... I know every man should be so lucky! Especially when I took him to the Savvy Shopper presentation to learn more about my long time passion... GOOD DEALS. Amy, the Savvy Shopper is the daughter of one of my dearest friends. It was probably one of the most entertaining & inspiring evenings I have been to in a long time. I have been doing Deals to Meals, but to go even lower use the WOW's, coupons and information from the Savvy Shopper at www.savvyshopperdeals.com. I figure that it will take 2 hours a week and is well worth my time.

Saturday night Larry and I went on another date... grocery shopping to try out what we learned. Bumblebee Tuna msrp is .98, on sale for .48. Add manufacture coupons, save $1.00 for every 5 cans and we brought home a case for just .28 each. Cool huh? I'm not gonna lie, it thrills me like no other :)

Happy shopping!

Birthday Surprise

Vicki is loved. That is how I would describe her surprise birthday party that her daughters Betsy and Emily planned for her. It was an especially special day as we gathered to celebrate Vicki. The girls planned everything down to the last detail in true party style! We were all pampered as we ate delicious food in probably the most beautifully decorated party room I have seen, played birthday bingo (yes, several older friends struggled to read their papers, could it have been any more fun?) and visited for a wonderfully long time. I came home so happy and reconnected with life... good friends can do that! She will be the keeper of Yolonda (the cardboard hottie that seems to make her way around the 50 year old circuit). Thank you Emily & Betsy, you are growing up wonderfully!
