Was Happy to Use the coupons before they expired

This month's charity will run a little longer, so I can get on schedule to start on the 1st and end on 30th..plus stores haven't been running great specials to get a lot specifically for charity.
I have 4 birthdays in 2 weeks..yes you guessed it all my daughters and their dad...so I really know the saying "Christmas In July" Last one is Chelsea and its Sweet 16, I am going a little overboard, but I want it to be special for her, she has grown up on me.

Hopefully we have some good ads coming up, looked at Brookshire's and not a good sale at all.
Girls are going on vacation with their dad on Sunday, so no money snatcher's for 10 days ..so excited! I am sure after a day, I will miss them, but I can get a lot done I hope...

Happy Couponing
