I love coupons!

Can I just take a minute to express my newfound love for coupons? I have been saving so much money! And no, there aren't coupons for everything I purchase, but when there are coupons I use, I can stock up on those items! (Okay, so only if I can print them a bunch of times!)

So at my last grocery shopping trip to Target, I saved $28 in coupons. The time before I saved $20. And at Walmart, I saved about $9. This is so cool!!!

Here's an absolutely amazing website by a lady who really knows her stuff and does her homework. She knows where all the deals are and tells you the best way to use the coupons to save the most money. She also includes links to printable coupons, which there are many out there!

And here's some of the awesome sites I've been using to get my print my coupons.

If there happen to be any coupon clipping readers out there (or any readers at all, let me know you're there!), tell me your secrets!

What to name this.... Hmm!

So I couldn't decide what to name this blog.. I don't even know how much I'll write on it or what I'll even write about. Bill thought of 'Gabby Scrapper', and then we thought up 'Gigglebit Gabber'. This ended up going into 'Fields of Bubbles', or of Laughter, or of Smiles, but it was either taken already or didn't quite fit. I suggested to Bill, 'Bubblegum Bubble Bisquit'. I think this was the name some joke email donned me a few years ago. Bill said I was just getting silly though. Silly? That made me think about how my arms used to laugh. This would mostly happen during handstand contests when I was a kid, which is the reason why I rarely won. My arms still laugh on occassion though, but unfortunately its gone beyond handstands.. Sometimes they start laughing when I'm trying to go to sleep. In fact, they are starting to laugh right now! Aaahh!

So that's how I came to name my new blog, 'Upsidedown headstands'. Because I can do these kinds of headstands for a long time and if my arms start to laugh, I won't be disqualified from the contest. But if my legs start laughing......
