And I only spent...

My kids have successfully finished transitioning back to school. They have their morning routine down pat, and afternoon/evenings are usually on schedule...however I can't seem to get back into the swing of things.  I have been trying to figure out what our weekly projects are going to be, last school year we did the alphabet (except Z, go figure), but this year, I've got nothing. I need to put my thinking cap on...

In other news, my latest obsession is getting things for free, or discounted prices. I am now addicted to shopping at CVS with coupons and earning Extra Care Bucks. I pride myself on walking out with bags of free merchandise thanks to ECB. I also am huge on online coupon codes and free shipping. I started Christmas shopping last month (yes in August, and yes, I know that means I'm crazy) and I have successfully finished 5 people on my list, for $40...and I got very nice gifts. I've decided that the hardest part of Christmas is going to be not telling people how cheap I got their gifts....
