We had to shop in Las Vegas at Glazier’s. The same store that Jen and Jessica shopped at.  This store does not double coupons, so we all had to come up with a different plan. My trip was much shorter than the other two as I work full time and could not miss too many days of work (especially since my husband is still laid off)!! As most of you that follow my blog know, I don’t fly!! So for me, the worst part was the flight! I migth add, I got off the first plane after the pilot informed us the turbulance was bad!!  My daughter ended up taking that flight and I arrived almost 12 hours later. . .after meeting one of the nicest people in the world, Susan, and getting put in first class!! See she recognized me as an “Extreme Couponer” and went above and beyond to make my flight as easy and smooth as possible.

Thank you Susan!!

Since we have four little ones, my oldest daughter, Ciera, joined me on this trip. It was quite an experience. Attached are some of the pictures from our trip!!

Me and my daughter, Ciera!!

This was the funniest part!! I am so not a Vegas girl!!

Today I took Tim & Jeff from 105.5 couponing. I had a ton of fun with them and taught them the basics of couponing (or I think I did, hahaha). I also talked to them about the significance of giving hygienic items. . . Food stamps do not cover these items so many families have to make tough decisions, as I did almost 20 years ago.

As you can see I even had them purchase some feminine products. No man is too manly to help those in need!!

The important thing that I wanted to get across was that through couponing we truly can impact our communities, one life at a time, one coupon at a time. This is not couponing, but this is a ministry and we can all help. None of us can help everyone, but all of us can help someone and when we do we serve Jesus. I gave the 5-item challenge and hope many people take that up. Donating 5 items a week is such an easy, tangible thing to do but 5 items matter. We need to step up and make a difference.  We were able to purchase tuna pouches, 21 cans of vegetables, deodorant, body wash, toothpaste, Nesquik, pantiliners, gum, etc.  We saved close to 85%!!   Total retail was over $100.  Not much, but I just wanted to give them a feel for couponing.  They loaded it up in their vehicle and were taking it to Seagate Food Bank!!

We talked about doing a huge food (couponing) drive. They agree, everyone gives during the holidays Thanksgiving and CHRISTmas, but what about the other 10 months. People are still hungry, people still need help. . . let’s be the hands and feet of Jesus and truly help our fellow brothers and sisters out!! I’m excited about this and hope everyone will join us. Thank you Jesus!!

Here is a picture of Tim with my “Free Tastes Good” shirt!!

Jeff got one, but gave his to “Billy” our bagger. Can I say Jeff made Billy’s day!!  I was glad to have 2 new “coupie” buddies (I don’t think they like being called “coupie” buddies hahaha!)

I get asked often how to save on meat and the best advice is to buy it when it is at least 50% off. Kroger frequently has the B1G1 FREE sale – so an instant 50% savings. Most meats will cycle monthly so figure out what your family uses in a month and stock up. This is such an easy way to cut your meat bill by 1/2!!

With that being said, now is a great time to stock up on Chicken breasts!! This is the ONlY chicken my family eats. This goes on sale once a month so figure what you think your family will use and stock up!! This is curretly on sale at Sautter’s in Sylvania, Kazmaier’s in Maumee, Sautter’s in Waterville, Schorling’s in Toledo, Stanley’s in Toledo, and Kazmaier’s in Perrysburg!! This is actually about a 75% savings on this chicken so stock up this week!!
