''We're quite a reserved lot, the British, but when we go for it, we really go for it'' - The Prime Minister.

''A good dry run for the Olympics'' - Mayor of London Boris Johnson.

''You look beautiful'' - What Prince William seemed to be whispering to his bride at the altar.

''We're supposed to have just a small family affair'' - Prince William jokes at the altar with the bride's father Michael Middleton.

''Those people who were so recently sneering at her background, and nicknaming her 'Waity Katie', will soon be lost in admiration of her poise and professionalism'' - Historian Andrew Roberts.

''Checkmate Kate - you've taken the King!'' - Words on a banner among the cheering crowds.

''We've got Middleton's Mushy peas, Kate's Cod, Buck House Burgers. I drew the line at getting some skate in'' - Peter Beedle, a cousin of the new Duchess of Cambridge, describes the royal menu at his fish and chip shop in Co Durham.

''She is so stunningly beautiful, it's so regal, it's such understatement that I think it's just perfection. Everybody is starstruck with her gown'' -Harold Tillman, chairman of the British Fashion Council.

''Kate wearing her hair as she has is the death of the straightening iron. It's all about a girl's best friend - the heated roller'' - Celebrity hairdresser Andrew Barton.

Coupon.... Coupons....

Do you want to learn how to save big... And know what the deals are in every store.. Here is how... I have been doing this for a couple of weeks now.. It has brought us really good savings.

Southern Savers Website

1. Sales Cycles and Stocking Up

Most people make a list of the groceries they need and head to the store. What you have just done is make a list of everything that is not on sale at the store. We need to step back and realize that groceries go on sale. They all have a "rock bottom low price", and we want to focus on only buying groceries when they are at that rock bottom price. Don't worry it's pretty easy, in most areas they follow a cycle roughly 6 weeks long. That means if we see a rock bottom price this week then buy enough of that item to last 6 weeks. That way you don't have to go back and pay the full retail price in between.

2. Add On The Coupons

If you buy when the items is at its lowest price AND use coupons, you save a bundle! Here's how it works:

3. Getting Organized

The easiest method to getting the best deals is to have a library of inserts saved up. That way, if an item goes on sale four weeks after the insert is delivered, you'll still have the coupon

s (and you only clip the ones you actually need!).

Best Option: Accordion File Method

Not as pretty as the binder method, but very time efficient! Just make sure you date your inserts before ?ling them.

On Southern Savers we will tell you next to every coupon the exact insert to go and find it in. You sit down and cut just the coupons you need for this weeks sale and never waste time cutting coupons you won't use!

Gotta Try It? Get the details.

Organizing Other Coupons

You'll always end up with cut coupons you didn't use or coupons you found in the store, Organize these in whatever fashion fits your life best. Small accordion files, envelopes, or a binder are all good options. Most of the time, we know about these coupons, too, and will reference them in the shopping list for your convenience.

4. Now Put it All Together!

1. Save Inserts on Sunday ( I always buy two papers): Not clipping necessary.. Just make sure you date them!

2. Go to SouthernSavers.com. They post only the lowest prices matched with all available coupons. Check the stores and schedules.

3. Get The Coupons Together. Print from southern savers and clip from saved inserts (save the extra in a binder).

4. Print Your Shopping List. Southern Savers makes it easy to print only the items you will buy. They even included all the coupon match ups...

5. Go Shopping. Take your list and coupons and get stocked up on all the lower price deals this week.

Thank you Southern Savers for all your wonderful information.... If you would like to start and don't understand somethings.. Just let me know.. And I will help you as best as I can. 

Also, this site shows you all the deals going on in a bunch of stores. For example, on Saturday (Earth Day) if you brought a travel mug into Starbucks you got free coffee... Enjoy

The best thing in life are never rationed. Friendship, loyalty, love, do not require coupons....

I havent died..... I Promise...

Why yes it has been awhile since I have blogged... I know you were worried that something happened to me.. Nothing has happened. I just have been super busy.. At some point in the last few weeks I lost how to tell time and what day it was.. lol.  


My job became full time... We moved... Too a bigger place... I will post pictures as soon as I feel like it is presentable enough. And everything is set up..  It should pretty much be finished by this weekend. We bought a KING size bed for our room. So now we have two beds. I also ordered new bedding. The bed and the new bedding will be here Friday.

This is what I call my  big girl sophisticated bedding

AJ decided a couple weeks ago that he wanted a bigger and better bed.. I was so frustrated cause we just bought new bedding when I asked him before if he wanted a king size and if that was so I needed to not look for queen size bedding. Well now its not a big deal cause I absolutely love this new bedding. I also get all the pillows and stuff to go with eventually... 


Now I am just having trouble on what to put over the bed because the fabric is a little busy to have not just anything over it.. I am thinking about getting these iron things from Hobby Lobby and spray painting them silver... What do you think I should do?

This one has no tea lights and their is multiple hanging.

I know a little hard to tell cause their are multiples.. This one has  place for tea lights all around it.

And maybe add to sconces on each side?

We are also working on a bedroom set to buy.. Which I am so excited about. We already picked it out.. I mean we aren't getting it right now.. Something to save up for though... :)

I also picked out a gorgeous lamp for our living room... Finally... I am so picky that I have a hard time deciding.

Yes, I know I have been a busy little beaver. lol.. Hopefully I can keep you guys updated like I used to.. I hope you guys are doing well.. I have been reading most of your blogs.. I know if I have time to read them I should have time to type one.
