Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all! I had to work today, but it's been fun with a potluck and an excellent team to work with.

And I got some family time before and will get some after today... Had a blast with Jenny and Cynda Tuesday on a girls night of sushi, Twilight, and New Moon, then candy and baking Wednesday - YUM BUTTERCREAM PULL CANDY ROCKS MY SOCKS OFF! :D And you can only make it if you have a few people because you have to get to pulling FAST!! Billy and Katie Beth even joined in the fun!

Then home to my hubby for a lovely evening, and he's waiting for me so we can ride back to Owensboro in one car. Yay not driving back alone :).

We've got big plans for this weekend too - More family time, and more girls time!

Hope you and yours are well today - I know I have much to be thankful for, hope you do too!

Pumpkin Cheesecake!





YUM!!! (or at least I hope so) It is sitting on my kitchen counter cooling - I think it's still too soft to eat just yet - but it smells good and the filling tasted AWESOME before it was cooked! :) Can't wait to taste my first attempt at cheesecake!!

Triple Coupons vs Me

And I won! spent a total of $53 and saved $108!!! ($43/$60 first trip and $20/$48 the second).. so I got $161 worth of groceries for $53 - ROCK ON!

I'm so much more a fan of triples now than I ever was before - I was skeptical that it was worth it, but am now super pleased with myself and convinced it was worth it :D.

And that included some regular "needed" items like milk and apples and such that didn't have coupons, and some supplies for Holiday candy making that I picked up for next to nothing.

Frugality has it's perks!

Including tonight's dinner obtained from a Groupon - Mmmmm! Fondue!!

P.S. For those of you that will notice (I know you're out there!) The numbers above do not match the receipt because they did $6.50 worth of price adjusting on the first trip with coupons I found later, and $2 on the second receipt, so the numbers spent/saved got moved around :)
