June 1st will be the beginning of an experiment of sorts for my family and me--we are going to prepare all of our meals and snack from what we have in our pantry and freezer. The exception will be fresh produce and dairy. What prompted this?? My husband came to me last week and said that he will likely be laid off at the end of May. I have been on a medical leave of absence for the past 10 weeks and will return to work the 25th of May. I have spent the last 10 weeks using coupons to stock us up on everything our family uses. Little did I know that we may be living from that stockpile. Even if he doesn't get laid off, I will still do this because I want to prove to myself that I can. I am looking forward to the challenge and will post regularly how I am doing.
Here's to frugal living and being a coupon queen.

Sunday May 8th Coupons
What a difference between the Register Guard in Eugene and The Oregonian out of Portland. Eugene paper--$37.00 in coupons. Oregonian $102.00 in coupons. If you can afford it, it looks like it is a better deal to get mulitples of the Oregonian rather than your local paper on Sunday. More coupons seem to be made available in larger metropolitan areas.
New Blog for Money Saving Mom's in Oregon
Welcome--
This is a blog for savings and deals on groceries and everything else you need. I am a mother to four kids, married for 28 years living in Springfield Oregon and love to save and find deals on everything I buy whether it is food, health and beauty, clothing, shoes, automotive--everything. I will pass on the deals I find to you so you can save too. I use manufacturer coupons, store coupons, entertainment book, groupon, living social, mamapedia, and many other resources for saving. I try to live a frugal lifestyle and still give my family what they need.
Join me as we save and learn how to spend wisely and get the most out of your money.
Will post more later.
