I just wanted to let everyone know that I haven’t forgotten about this week’s ad.  I have been sick with the flu but I will get it posted tonight.  My family has been passing the flu around and it has hit us pretty hard this time.  I haven’t been sick like this for a LONG time.  I am freaking out a little because of the swine flu epidemic.  I definitely need to stock up on Clorox or Lysol wipes a little more and some other medicines for the flu just in case.

That’s it for now-I will have the ad posted tonight.  Thanks everyone!

Hello world!  This is my new blog.  I am Laura, a 30 year old stay-at-home mom of 3, living in the capital city (Topeka, KS).  I have always enjoyed getting a good deal and browsing the clearance racks for steals.  I mean, who doesn’t love a good deal, right?  It wasn’t until about 2 years ago, though, that I picked up a book from the library and learned how to coupon.  After reading the book, Greatest Secrets of the Coupon Mom by Stephanie Nelson, I started using coupons and watching sales at the grocery stores around here.  I also found many websites and blogs about how to use coupons.  I was overwhelmed with all the information at first and didn’t know where to start.  I slowly gathered coupons from Sunday papers and from the local recycling bins and slowly started saving money.  I have saved close to $4000 so far.  I don’t know all the tricks and I don’t get every deal there is  because I know that there will be another deal down the road.  Where is this going you ask?  Well, I am here to share the information with you.  I will be posting the weekly deals for the Seabrook Apple Market here each week along with coupon match-ups.  I will also be posting other ways to save money around Topeka.  Happy spring and happy savings in the capital city
