I am on a Savings High!

I joined the coupon sense website this past week and I used their expertise for my grocery shopping this past week-end and WOW! I saved almost 40% on my groceries!! I don't have a large collection of coupons yet but I still did great because coupon sense helped me see the best deals for what is on sale at all of the different stores. I can hardly wait until I actually have a lot of coupons to use. Some of the ladies posted comments that they save anywhere from 80 to 95% on their purchases. I find this amazing! With finances so tight for everyone right now it is good to save any amount on necessities like FOOD! I would recommend checking out their website. It is http://www.couponsense.com/ My first week I saved $153.63 and I spent $256.78 and came home with over $410.00 worth of food, I can't imagine how much I would have saved if I actually had coupons for more of the things that I bought! This is only going to get better, I hope.
After you check out their website and if you decide that you want to sign-up to use their expertise in saving money too, please enter my full name as the referral and select Sarah Watkins as your instructor. This will help me win some cash for the August Referral Contest!

Want to make a memory....Well just leave one really!!!

Leave a Memory:

Here are the directions...

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty cool (and funny) to see the responses.

If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you are playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. :) If you don't want to play on your blog, or you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

A Great Big Thanks!

I just have to give a big THANKS to my sweet daughter Cassie. She called me last week and told me she wanted to have a jewelry party at her house and she was inviting a lot of her friends over to see the jewelry that I make, because she wears hers all the time and everyone tells her how much they like it. I am sure she did this partly because we haven't seen her little family for several weeks and this was a good way to get me to come for a visit, especially now that gas is so expensive!! It was so much fun to be able to take what I had on hand and also the ones that my girls have (they loaned them back) so people could see them and meet Cassie's friends. I sold several jewelry items, a couple of my epoxy pictures and a couple of my fancy flip flop shoes. I also have several special orders to do now and I am so excited to get busy creating them. I just love doing this kind of stuff. Also I want to thank all of the cute friends that came over to Cassie's, it was a pleasure for me to get to know you.
