It's Sunday!

**HAPPY FATHERS DAY!! I would like to say a special thanks to the 2 best daddy's I know, my dad, and my wonderful hubby, Jason. It is his first with our little man. Austin and I got up this morning and made daddy a special breakfast in bed (using all items I bought for great prices at Albies I might add) and gave him our gifts and cards.**
I know I promised a video today I'm so sorry but that's not going to happen today =( #1 I forgot it was Father's Day and #2 I didn't get to buy a tripod like I wanted to be able to do videos having both hands free.
Anyhow there were some great deals in the paper today..and I am getting so excited to see the preview for Wednesday. I wanted to show you what I do on Sundays now that I have figured out my "groove" lol.
First of course I gotta check out the coupons! I lay out the inserts and label them with the date as shown below:

Next I figure out which coupons I want to clip to carry in my binder. I will be showing a quick way to clip these in my video... but most probably know how.

So today I saw the sets of huggies coupons (2) $1.50/1 , $2/1 for overnights, and $.75/1 for wipes. Which do not typically go on sale at Albies but is something I buy weekly! Also in the middle you will see $1/1 for starbucks coffee... I had to clip these because I love to drop by a gas station before school to get one. Finally, $1/1 kraft salad dressing and $.75/1 kraft mayo... now your probably wondering why I would clip these as they most likely will go on sale at Albies... I KNOW on my next shopping trip I will be purchasing these, even if they are not on sale because we are out of these. Obviously I will buy the minimum if it is not on sale.

And finally I file the inserts away in a manila folder with the date. I personally do not file them under SS June or RP March (etc), I think it works better for me this way. But again it is whatever works best for you.

This literally took me 5 mins. this morning. Then I went to change my son's diaper and saw we are almost out of diapers, so now I have the coupons with me to just go and buy them =) Again, Happy Father's Day... make sure to call those special men today and let them know you appreciate them!!
