That's me breathing a HUGE sigh of relief that school is out!!! This past school year has gone by incredibly fast and I can hardly believe tomorrow is the 1st of June. Over the past month Kasey and I have kicked our "DIY" into high gear and have been helping his parents renovate their new house. It's been an amazing transformation...the first time we get together as a family we will be reminded why we put in so much hard work. It's going to be the perfect place for lots of Kuriyama "life" to happen. However, it's not been all work and no play these days...I have had some time to do some of my "crafty" things... Here are cupcakes from my sweet friend Victoria's bachelorette party...
And here is my new flower bed my mom and I dug...Gavin helped us too!!
I have been scoring some pretty sweet coup deals lately as well. Kasey and I have decided to really start eliminating our debt and be more conscious of our spending. So this has sent me into super coup mode...like I needed a reason. :) I've also decided to stockpile MINIMALLY...no need to have Kase build me another garage for my goods and I don't have 3 years of mustard stored in my pantry. I have though, started getting multiple coupons and using several when things go on sale.
Here's some deals I got at CVS:
Kikoman Soy Sauce (such a good Japanese wife) 2/$3, which made them $1.50 each. I used a $.55 off coup so I scored 2 soy sauces for $.95 each.
They had Ragu on sale 3/$5. But you got $3 in Extra Care Bucks (to use on my next purchase) so it technically made them 3/$2 or $.66 each...but even without the Extra Care Bucks, $1.67 for spaghetti sauce is pretty good.
They also had theit cokes on sale 3/$10 but if you bought 3 you got one free, so that's 4/$10 or $2.50 each.
All in all I spent $17.
I've made 2 trips to Target...both in which I can't really remember all the details or find my receipt, buuuut between the 2 trips I saved over $30 and got lots of new make-up (all of which I had a coup, of course) and some cereal, pasta, trashbags, body wash, and some other random grocery items. I LOOOVE Target because it's just fabulous...AND I love it even more that you can use a Target coupon and a maufacturer's coup.
Other than serious couping, I plan to do some serious cleaning and organizing of our storage spaces and bedrooms and closets. Who knows...maybe Kasey will let me turn our office into a nursery one of these days. :)
