Over my head much?

I'm going to be completely honest here....I am drowning with anticipation and fear! LOL. I want to do this coupon thing, very badly, but there is SOOO much out there. Right now Amber is like my right arm...if she hadn't given me so many pointers I would have been WAYYY more lost! (TY Amber!!)

I'm trying to take a few of my friends suggestions and meal plan. You would think as a mother of two I would have already been doing that (but not so much!) Any tips on great meal planning websites? I can cook decently, but I am by far not a chef!!!! I don't like to spend a lot of time in the kitchen (there's always more important things to do!) so I like quick (cheap) recipes.

Free Reading

(This information is borrowed from another blogger, I just appreciated the information so I figured you would too!)

"To celebrate their 60th anniversary, Harlequin is offering a FREE BOOK download to every woman in America, and I thought you’d want to know about it.There are 16 full books to choose from and download, including tender romances, suspenseful adventures, heartwarming stories, tales of passion, and many more – you’re sure to find something you like!"

Download yours here.


Also, for those of you affliated with the military, if you didn't know:
www.militaryonesource.com offers free books. I didn't know a thing about this until I received our weekly MWR newletter (which I love! It tells you all about local events--within 1 hour of Lawton--that are cheap/free...typically they are great family events). This week she included MOS as the website of the week.

Here is the link: Click here and then go to library.

Helpful links

I'm having trouble finding gadgets for all of these (well, for most of these!) so I just decided to post the link here. Hopefully this will provide some assistance.

Military links

Non-grocery links

And the list goes on and on. All I'm waiting for is payday so we have the money to spend for the money to save!!! If you have more websites, let me know. I am planning on being all over this!!!

For Starters

I'm probably going to need some help with all this from my fellow bloggers. Typically my blogs are pointless and have nothing to do with anything except for me venting about this or that. However, this blog is going to serve a purpose. What purpose you may ask? Well....I want to save money, and I know I'm not the only one out there that feels this way.

I'm all over several different websites trying to pull up coupons and anything else that will assist me is achieving this goal. BUT, I'm going to need some killer feedback as this process gets rolling.
