Okay so I did even better than I thought. Today I mailed off another $131 in rebates. So the $92 from two days ago and the $131 from today for a grand total of $223. WOOO-HOOOO!!!!

It takes just a little bit of effort (and some awesome friends to get your hands on the rebates) but you can really make some $$$ back.

I'm excited. I know it'll be a process but I am willing to stick with it.

Yes $153 in rebates. Yesterday I mailed out $92 in rebates. And today I got together another $61. I'm sooo excited. Thanks to Tina and Tonya I'm now on my way to doing the "rebate thing".

DH was impressed. I'm sure he'll be even more impressed when the $$$ starts coming in.

I can do this. Really I can. All it takes is some organization. I bought a new 3" Case- It binder from CVS yesterday (at 50% off of course. There's two more I'm waiting to drop to...

that is the number of inserts I managed to scrounge up today. And boy am I exhausted. I hit all the hot spots where I knew the discarded papers would be. In three towns... LOL

I also hit Kroger where I got another 60 items for about $10. Today I got
15 Chicken Noodle Soup
20 Tomato Soup
2 Soup at Hand
2 Microwavable Soups
2 Crescent Rolls
8 Spagettios
1 Hamburger Helper
10 Condensed Soups

Did two transactions...

I just spent the last six hours (off and on cuz well you know with kids you can't do anything uninterrupted for more than two seconds) going through what my husband refers to as the "coupon mountain" that used to be my kitchen table. Truth be told we haven't been able to eat at it in over a month... LOL (The kids have been eating at a small 'kiddie' table and dh and I have been eating at the island)

I went through all my old inserts (Good Lord I had inserts...

What's "It" you say?

I finally broke down and bought some coupons. I spent an even $10 and got 40 $1/1 Adidas coupons, 30 $1/2 Old El Paso Coupons, 20 $.40/2 Spagettios coupons, and 15 $.40/2 Condensed Soup coupons. It's a stretch that they'll get here in time because I just ordered today. (And the Kroger sale ends 9/15) But even if they don't get here by then (they're coming from Miami area on Monday) I can still MAKE $.60 on each adidas coupons, so that's $24 right there....
