Couponizer & Giveaway

Welcome to this week’s Works for Me Wednesday… Kristen over {We are THAT Family} is super awesome and I hope you head back over there for more things that work for others, but in the meantime… I introduce you to the………………

A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a blog called {My Frugal Adventures} where I found an amazing deal on something I definitely could use. I then ventured a bit into her blog and discovered that there was this world whesre I could have been saving THOUSANDS of dollars in the past 9 years since I left my mother’s nest.


I could go on and on about coupons, but I won’t. If you’re interested in saving tons and tons of money head over to My Frugal Adventures. It’s a GREAT starting point!!


This review is all about the handy, dandy Couponizer that {Queen Mother Blog} introduced and SOLD to me!!! That’s right people, if you don’t win this giveaway I am going to highly suggest that you get in contact with her and order yours… the system ROCKS!  I’m doing this review IN PICTURES!  This way you will get to see exactly what you’d be getting.

You get your Shopping List!!  Once you write your items on your list you there is a check box that says Coupon, so if you have a coupon for that item you can check it
If you are a smart cookie, you will already have the above picture done before you walk into that store, and then you’ll have your coupons already in the pocket on the left below…. and then as you find your item you grab that coupon and put over in the pocket on the right.
So after you wrestle w/your children and fight your way to the checkout line, you finally have all of your rewards cards in ONE PLACE!!!!  Exciting… I know.  There’s also a handy pocket that says Coupons that will expire this month…. definitely something nice to know.
There are a handful of catagories to store your coupons in….. Including: Baby, Baking & Staples, Beverages, Bread & Bakery, Breakfast, Canned Goods, Condiments, Dressings, & Spices, Dairy, Frozen Foods, Healthy & Medicine, Household Celaning, Household Maintenance, Laundry, Meat, Paper & Plastic, Pasta & Quick Meals, Personal Hygiene & Beauty, Pet, Snacks, Entertainment & Travel, Fast Food & Restaurant, Services, Shops & Retail, Sweepstakes, Refunds, & Rebates, Rewards….. and under each catagory it gives you examples.  I LOVE these pockets and feel completely organized w/my coupons.
After you check out you put your receipt in the handy receipt coupon and IMMEDIATELY when you get home you go over to your Coupon Tracker pad and update your shopping trip.  You can see here that with 2 shopping trips since I’ve had my couponizer I have saved a total of $113.92 with searching for deals going on at stores and using a coupon .  I am so satisfied with my results!

So are you ready for the awesomeness of this entire review?  

 Not only did you learn that you can save money and be organzied while doing so, but you have the chance to win one yourself!!!!  How you ask?  Well let me just break it down for ya….

Friday Favorites/ALOHA! ~ Reviews on Blogs?

MY FRIDAY FAVORITES ~ **if you’re here for Aloha Friday and don’t care about my favs of the week scroll on down**


What a week! Actually, it was pretty uneventful for me. Jayden started 2nd Grade…. that gets its own post in its own, but the same day he also started soccer.


Ella has officially started her terrible 2 tantrums today. I in no way paid any mind to them and completely ignored them… hopefully she gets the hint that a) she won’t get her way and b) she’ll get no attention from it.


My son actually brought me a shook up soda… I can’t believe he actually did this.  


HUGE accomplishment for us…. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (and unfortunately we missed tonight) we had family scripture reading. I’m trying really hard on structurizing my evenings in this house from the time Jayden gets out of school to the time they go to bed. The past 2 nights are complete successes on both kids in bed by 9pm! Jayden hasn’t even been getting up to sneak down for water. I need this time. Gino and I need this time too. It’s nice that when he gets home from work it will just be us…. no kids!


I’ve talked about Katie and Ryan on my blog, and I just wanted to say that it sounds like she’s getting better every day, however, I know her heart is still aching for the loss of her husband. Please keep her and everyone who was touched by Ryan in your prayers for the healing of their hearts.


My friend Anne started a great new blog w/her friend. They post posts that moms and housewives can really use in their daily lives. Delicious recipes, sewing patterns, tips that we can all use. It’s called {A Place to Bloom} they chose such a beautiful name for it! It’s definitely worth the checking out!!


This week I discovered that I have been losing out on THOUSANDS of dollars. I have never been the bargain shopper, never paid any mind to coupons, and I’m actually sickened by it. {My Frugal Adventures} turned me on to this new adventure in my life and I am now proud to say that I AM A COUPON JUNKIE! And I’m PROUD OF IT!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OKAY! Now for {Aloha Friday}!


How do you go about doing reviews on your blog? This is something I really interested in doing, but don’t know how to start. This is something I definitely want to get into. I have done reviews for people I know… never really just a random person.
