Stinkin' Cute Candlesticks

I am so in love with these! I was at a craft show a while back and was going to buy a set of candlesticks, and now I am so glad I didn't!  With it being my day off today, I think I shall run to the store to buy some cute candles and some accessories and get this started! Check this out here.

Those Little Rascals...

After six months of living here in Washington, I have finally gotten myself out of the house! ha ha I have decided that I was going to substitute teach here since we would be moving around a lot and with that, I wouldn't be tied down with a job or anything.  Well, I put in my application to the school district I live in in November.  I still have not heard back from them for when they finished my reference checks.  Oh. my. heck. So, I decided that I would try another school district close by.  I did my whole application in one day and heard back from them after the weekend and set up an orientation to get started.  Wow. Forget about the other district that has been taking months! Annoying!  Anyway, so I just had my first day subbing Friday! I have my teaching certificate in secondary education, but I am able to sub anywhere, any class. Most of the ones I have lined up are those little rascals in the elementary and middle schools-ok, they really aren't that bad.  I'm just glad to finally get to start subbing and keep myself somewhat busy and out of the house.  I am keeping busy though still with my other blog, crocheting away! I'll be getting new style of beanies up there hopefully soon so check back again!

My Albies Doubler Deal

Like many of you out there, couponing seems to becoming a huge thing to do! I'll admit, it has taken me a while to get used to it, understand the lingo, the deals, how to use the coupons properly, etc.  I've gotten some pretty good deals now, but today made me happy!  Now let me tell you that many of these deals that I find on other blogs, seem to usually be junk foods so I really don't buy a whole lot of stuff using coupons.  If it's something we use, I'll buy.  There have been plenty of stuff we could have gotten for dirt cheap, had we eaten that type of food, but I sadly passed it up.  So here's my lovely deal from Albertsons today :)


I got all of this pictured for a whoppin' $2.91!  This is factoring in all my manufacturer coupons, preferred savings card, doubler coupons, and catalina.  I saved 83%! Boo Yah!
I really don't want to find the links that I used for the coupons, so go check out The Krazy Coupon Lady and Fabulessly Frugal to find these deals that I did.  However, I did use coupons from coupons.com for the cereals and it looks like they're already gone!  Anyway, for those of you that are diaper buyers, there's always awesome deals that I see too.  Maybe one of these days I'll be one of those buyers ;) I just wanted to share my deals with you all to see what you're missing out on if you're not a couponer by now :)
