Extreme Couponing or Unrealistic Couponing…

OK…I’ll admit it, I’m hooked on TLC’s “Extreme Couponing” even though it should be called “Unrealistic Couponing”. I don’t know about you, but I don’t know any store that will allow you to clear out shelves or use 1000 coupons.

Organizing with Ziploc…

I truly enjoy scrapbooking but I am soooo unorganized when it comes to my pictures. This makes it harder to completely enjoy scrapbooking. So, I vowed to become more organized so I can enjoy it once again without becoming frustrated. I went through a HUGE box of pictures and organized every last one of them. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money doing it so I looked to my stockpile of goodies to see what I already had. Well, I had quite a few Ziploc containers that I acquired dirt cheap during a “Super Doubles” trip to Harris Teeter in January.

Harris Teeter Super Doubles Are Coming…

Make Your Own Laundry Detergent Using Zote…

Tools to help you in the New Year…

We all do it…make resolutions for the New Year. They say “It’s a poor carpenter who blames his tools”…but I believe to make your resolutions stick you need to depend on your tools. So I have a few tools to share with you to help you achieve your goals for 2011. These are resources I use on a regular basis and have not any problems with any of them.

Why I LOVE Coupons…

Well, today is the last day for Super Doubles at Harris Teeter and I can’t wait for them to come back. After totaling my receipts for the past week here are my savings.

Mirror, Mirror On The Wall…

I love mirrors…especially mirrors that make a statement. And this one caught my eye right away at my local Goodwill- even through all of the dirt and dust on it I could see the potential it had. I believe it was $2.50… 1/2 off from the original price. I love the curves and the embellishment on top. The only problem is that it isn’t wood. It’s faux wood, plastic to be exact.

Craigslist Dining Table…

I have been looking for a dining room table that will seat more than 6 people for months now. The only criteria I had was that it had to be cheap and well-built. Well, I finally found a table that seats 8. It only came with 6 chairs and 1 of those is broken but that’s ok. It was only $70.00 and that included delivery. I can work with this…

Here is the pic from the Craigslist ad. I received it disassembled so this is the only before pic I will have for my future makeover reveal.

{sorry it’s so grainy}

I’m not crazy about the color so I looked around for some inspiration and found some great re-do’s that I totally love!
