Nothing Really.

I've decided that it is pretty sad that I have to think real hard of things to post. I guess you could say we don't do anything that interesting around here. I love reading blogs, I got my sisters into blogging, and I do love it when I have something to post, but honestly I have been thinking is it worth me even having a blog when we never do anything worth posting? Also, I often wonder do people really even look at my blog?

I started playing indoor soccer last night with a group of girls I went to school with. It was so much fun, even though I am totally out of shape and did not play that great as goalie. I realized indoor soccer is much different than outdoor. It is a much faster game and the goalie has a lot more action. I also learned after diving for the ball twice that I definitely needed to wear my knee pads, I got an intense turf burn on both knees. My team lost, but it really did not bother me; I was just glad to get out there and play with a fun group of gals.

Also I have been meaning to post these pictures for the last two weeks and have never gotten around to it. MaCade went on a guys trip with Cornell & Ben golfing and they took a few pictures at the golf course. I don't know the name of the courses all I know is that they were in Mesquite.

Grocery Smarts

So I didn't think I would post about my deals. I thought I would just save money and not tell anybody, but I thought for my very first purchase I would share the killer deal that I got yesterday. Because I thought it was so awesome and I guess I am kinda a nerd like that. I think that this grocery smarts thing is really going to help me save money and start a good food storage. When Stephanie came and taught the class at my house she said that she shopped from her pantry because she had such a good food storage. That way she got everything on a good deal and wasn't spending lots of money on something because she ran out.

So here is what I got yesterday.
12 cans of cream of chicken soup
6 boxes of fruit snacks
1 box Capri Suns (totally FREE)
2 refrigerator cookies
2 cookie mixes
2 frosting's
2 cans enchilada sauce
3lbs chiken breasts/tenders
2 refridgerator cresent rolls
2 Grands biscutts
2 Warm Delights
(I have always wanted to try them and for $0.45 who wouldn't try them)

Total spent = $27.29
Total saved = $55.21
Plus I got a coupon for $3.50 of my next purchase!!

I know it looks like I got a lot of sweets and I did, but my theory is that when I need a treat for a party last minute then I am not going to the store and buying a $5 package of cookies. Instead I can pull some out of my freezer or pantry and pop them in the oven.
