Coupon folder

This is my coupon folder I take to the store with me. It's easy to carry and has pretty much everything I need in it. I bought it from target for only a dollar. The new one that is black and white was made cheaper then my old pink one but my old one was falling apart. I painted a heart coupons on the back of it and started labeling the inside. One of the most important things I do is make sure I put an address label on the inside with my cell phone number. To me that is money. I label the different store that I visit most often. CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Winn Dixie, Dollar store ( dollar tree, family dollar and dollar general), Kmart,Target, Expiring, File, Out. Expiring tab I use for of course ones that are expiring. If I am not going to use them, I put them in front of the products so others can. Like a coupon fairy. File I use for coupons that I pick up while shopping. I never seen so many coupons on products until I stopped shopping at Walmart. Out is for restaurants. I also keep a pair of small scissors, calculator, and pen. You never know and yes I have cut coupons in the store before to use them in that trip. In each slot I put either the small keychain rewards card or the big. Sometimes both just in case I stick my card in the bag with all the exciting deals. 

Secrets

I am so excited about next Wednesday. My oldest daughter was a fourth of a point from having the highest GPA out of first grade last year. This year she worked her butt off and will receive many awards. The principal wants to just keep her on the stage. One of the biggest awards will be the highest GPA in  second grade. Very proud of her but I was asked not to tell her. I am about to burst with excitement for her. So proud.

Icecream pops

I am sure you have seen the many recipes on Pinterest for different pops. I purchased the jelly belly molds from winn dixie for $2.99. I love these because they are separated from one another. Makes it so easy for the girls to grab. We first made the chocolate pudding ones. I tried the vanilla but those didn't go as fast. I than tried banana pudding. I put a cherry at the bottom. It was pretty good. Then I found the daddy red cream soda at the dollar tree. Before you put it in the freezer let it sit. Or you will have a mess in your freezer. It tasted like a snowball. Will do those again. I would like to try the root beer. Thanks to Emma for being my model. Even with her bed head she does a great job.
