Three Cups Book Review!
I remember when I was in elementary school the bank use to come to our school once a month so that we could make a deposit into our savings accounts. It was such a great feeling watching my account grow. Teaching kids about saving money is so important- but the message told in the book "Three Cups" is so much important. It is about teaching children how to save, spend and be charitable with money.
I read it to my son and although he does not quite understand the moral of the story we went ahead and set him up three cups (piggy banks , actually) in his room. Adding to his "pig banks" is so exciting to him and after we read this story together it such a joy for him to be able to add to his "pig banks".
I hope as he gets older and we continue to re-read Three Cups and keep adding to his cups it will be something that he carries with him his entire life. This would be a great gift to give to someone - I know how much we enjoyed receiving it!
This book is based on a true story about the allowance system a family has set up for their for the last 18 years. You can purchase a copy on their website www.3cupsbook.com or from Amazon. Enjoy the 3 cups Journey!

My Walgreens Trip 7-31 & a Vent!
One of the annoying things about couponing is that sometimes your trips just don't go as planned. This morning I got up and got all my coupons together to head to Walmart & Walgreens. Everything went pretty good at Walgreens except I lost a $.50 coupon somewhere-- but that was no big deal. But my Walmart trip was a different story. I decided to pick up my four papers there instead of making a trip somewhere else because I have just come to terms with the fact that my $1 or less Sunday papers are no where to be found anymore. So I picked up four assuming they were $1.50 and I just checked my receipt and they were $1.75-- so annoying especially when just a few weeks ago I could have bought two for that price! Then I was planning on getting some FREE (plus overage) fruit and I realized my coupons expired yesterday. They didn't have the $.88 carrots I wanted so I bought the $1.25 carrots which rang up for $1.88 I had a $2/2 coupon but still- it's just annoying when you have a trip planned and it just doesn't go like you want it. Then my cashier was being a real PITA about my coupons because she apparently doesn't like couponers. She searched the receipt for every item to make sure I bought it and then was trying to tell me I couldn't use certain coupons. Oh well - I win some and lose some it's just annoying when it doesn't go like I wanted... anyway thanks for listening to my vent =)
Like I said my Walgreens trip went pretty great so I was pretty excited. I was glad I went this morning because for whatever reason my store only had about 7 packs of the $5 Cottonelle and after I got my 2 there was only 1 left. Here is everything I bought: (Oh FYI The Cottonelle deal is ONLY good today 7/31)
