Hey, Y'all!
Have not had the energy to go shopping for anything this past week. All those awesome deals passed me by. But, my coupon mantra says, "Don't fret over missed deals and expired coupons. There will always be more deals and better coupons to match them."
I have a horrendous summer cold and ten kids clamoring to be fed three square meals, snacks, and dessert everyday. I don't have the option to wimp out because of a stinking cold. But, I did today! Thankfully, I have been teaching all of my kids from the 4 year old up to the 17 year old to prepare meals. This afternoon my 15 year old grandson barbequed three or four racks (15 lbs) of spare ribs; my 4, 6, & 7 year olds prepared the veggies (frozen green beans and corn on the cob). I am so very proud of them. Those of you who know my little ones think they are perfect in every way... Well, let me just say this. They are "children" and behave like children whenever they get the chance.
Decided to share a favorite coupon website with you. All of these links will help you get the best deals with or without coupons. My goal is to stay out of the stores because there is no better proven way to save money than not to shop. I try not to shop more than once per week. That has been easy this week because I am sick. But, I will try to get out either Friday morning or Saturday morning.
Finally, I am going to give you a quick look at our "storehouse": basement pantry, three refrigerators, and two freezers next week. I am also preparing meals for the school week and will let you see how we do that, too. We will prepare (pre-cook) about 30 pounds of home-fried potatoes; 10 pounds of bacon; corn muffins; french toast; and pancakes. I won't do all of that in one day. Each time I prepare those items for a meal, I will just "overcook" and freeze the rest for other meals. The kids LOVE home-fries and bacon for breakfast. Only a few really like eggs with their breakfast. But, they love deviled eggs for after school snacks.
I am so glad school will be starting next week. Early bedtimes for everyone at 8 PM...YES, YES, YES! Our kids are like the walking dead in the morning. I have given wake up duties to their father. The first wake up is at 5 AM...Good Luck! This also means I will have about 6 hours of "free" time to do other things. Well, I hope that my meal planning and preparation will actually give us more "free" time during the day.
Finally, I really want to do more videos with my family to let you share in our victories and a few of our defeats, too. The children are remarkable and we are all so very proud to be a part of their lives.
