I'm getting used to the gift of junk mail: freebies, coupons, ideas. Today, only a pile of magazines. Granted, good magazines, and all free. The New Yorker, Atlantic Monthly, Men's Health, three others. Received three more yesterday. Prepared Foods update came, and I need to do another trend analysis, I suppose.
Instead, I'm just feeling out of sorts. I *finally* had time to skim the forums, a favorite treat I rarely have enough time for. One rude post from a site member to me, and all the wind leaves my sails. Dead in the water.
Such a silly thing, too. But deflating emotions often lead to deflated savings, or at least more spending!
Well, anyway, a no spend day. Worked out, enjoyed the pup in his wading pool. Got some great advice on the dog forum. And, our close friends have two of the national champions in agility (dog), and are starting their own training camp. Looking forward to helping them get up and running.
DH is cooking, he has no clue on using up the stockpile (although he expects me too 
) so I'm intrigued what he is coming up with. I'm betting frozen dinners, but could be a frozen pizza. As long as he's not running out for take out from our favorite restaurant, it's fine.

I know there's alot of negativity in the world today and just telling you to ignore to ignore it is easier said than done. I can tell you I think you inspire alot of people and that is a wonderful thing.
Take care and Thank you for all you do for us.

You are doing such great work.
I have looked at the tables that you put up showing your spendings and savings. Untill I can achive 70% of what you have, I will keep going.
I spent $50.00, saved $36.30, got back $27 dollars in checkout coupons and $9.00 in smartsaver machine coupons. I will be returning 1 item worth $3.99.
Projected savings:
Total $82.70
Savings in coupons and deals: 31.30
In Checks: $5.00
Projected savings : $36.00 ( in the next trip.
However, I looked at my bill and thought: Flash would have gotten all this for $9.97! Sigh!
Thank you for your reply Flash.

One or 4 meanies out of dozens of positive comments: the meanies win when you give up. My DH discouraged me in many ways, not believing in coupons. I showed him that I bout 12 24oz bottles of diet Coke for $1.10,
The following week he got the Sunday's paper After making sure that the inserts were there. All thanks to people like you.
