Play the game
So I've been playing a game. It's called the Grocery Game. It was started by this woman named Teri Gault. Ryan and I saw her on the Donny Deutsch show when were were living in Houston...I thought it was cool then but didn't participate in it or learn anything more about it. It's just been recently that my friend, and now next door neighbor Becky, told me about it. She saves so much freaking money! She is teaching me the ins and outs of it all and I've been simply picking up a sunday paper full of great coupons which I date and file away, only to pull on them when its time to grocery shop. You go on to thegrocerygame.com and set up an account for a small fee every 2 months, put in your zip code, and in return, Teri gives you the participating stores in your area, and all of their deals and specials going on. You have to check it out!
Ryan is fully amazed and pretty much thinks i'm a super woman. Well thats what I feel like at least when I stand at the register and see my bill rack up to around $120, hand over my kroger card and it falls down to around $65 and then give a few coupons (which took me like 10 min to clip, because you only clip the ones Teri tells you to clip, hence, the small fee you pay for convenience) and ends at about $50. Thats what happened today. And that also included a 20 lb. turkey!
Some deals in the last few weeks have been so great!
- I bought a package of bacon, and with it came a dozen large eggs, box of bfast sausages, fruit cup, and english muffins all came free.
- Buy one get one free Wheat bread
- Evaporated Milk (for baking) free!
- Free Downy fabric softener
- Ghirardelli supreme brownie mix .99
...on and on! All name brand items, all great food! My friend Becky last week bought a gallon of milk for a dollar!!
In the words of Ryan "That's pretty awesome!! just sayin"

Espen is 2!
October 31st Espen turned two years old. I hardly remember him being a little baby! now he's a big boy saying sentences, learning to share with his little friends, brushing his teeth, eating new foods...etc. I LOVE this age! Espen is very polite and uses his manners well. How can a little wicked heart be so polite? :) So many friends came out for his birthday party which was held in the courtyard outside of our place. Sunny and 70! Perfect. Most came in costume, I think more would have come in costume if we had actually included it on the invite. The invites are another issue. Anyway, such a great long day on Saturday! We are so grateful for our family and our friends!
Can't wait to show you pics and videos!Fo Reals!
