Slowly returning back here!!

[tinkinpink84]

Since my husband got back from Iraq in november I have hardly couponed at all! Luckily I have my trusty stockpile though! Just been busy with life and then the brother in law home over christmas. Started my college classes last month. Really really gotta pass this anatomy and physiology class too! So I've spent alot of time writing notes and stuff to hopefully pass this class this go around! My coupon binder is empty! And its sad! I cleared out all of last years coupons and mailed them to my friend in germany. So I just splurged and ordered inserts to get back into it. We arent getting groceries this paycheck so no better time to get caught back up! I havent stepped foot in harris teeter in what feels like forever! I have been trying to keep rolling ECB in cvs though but spending more out of pocket then before due to my lack of having much coupons! But I really need to get back into it again! Now I feel like im starting from square one again only I have a stockpile already. I suppose it was a nice little break, but about to get back into the swing of things and hopefully get on here more often again! Life is finally calming down I think! Spent the entire past month trying to get our water heater fixed. After 2 companies coming out five times total I think it might be fixed. Only time will tell! So my evenings were spent boiling pots of water just to have a warm bath!
I didn't even shop harris teeters last super doubles! Im trying to take a different approach this time and when ordering single coupons getting what i will actually use. No stockpiling useless things! So well Im back, well getting back slowly. I will have alot of inserts to clip when they arrive and then I will have to file them all! Time to get super busy!

Tink--

Glad to have you back!

What are you studying in school? I think you mentioned it before but I forgot.

I can relate to school also since I have been out of school this semester and plan to start back in the Spring 2012. On the HT front, someone from another site posted that HT would definitely have SD(s) the week of 02/15/12 in NC and other areas.

With Bloom having its SD(s) here in N VA on 02/04/12 and 02/11/12, and after 02/11/12 no more Bloom SD(s), I will be OD'd on SD(s) with Bloom and HT!

Ooh I get something to look forward too and I should have all my coupons by super doubles!! Yeah my food stockpile shrunk a bit, cereal took the biggest hit lol.
I am hoping to become an RN. But last semester I dropped this class because i was failing it. If i fail it this semester then I would have to go to another college to take this class, I wouldn't be able to take it at FTCC where I am at now which would suck! So Im trying my super hardest to keep working and taking notes and comprehending all this information! My sister will be staying here until june/julyish now too.
I dread having to clip and file multiple inserts! But once it is done I will be caught up and just gotta keep picking up extra newspapers or inserts every sunday. Kind of excited to start finding good deals again! I will be able to plan out trips to do on my way home from class and stuff. I pass by harris teeter on my way home from class if I go in one particular direction :). It is soooo weird having my coupon binder be virtually empty!
