Artsy Chaos

This past week at Smith's Foods (a Kroger brand) was a prime example of how to combine a great store sale with coupons to get practically free groceries. As some of you probably know, they were having a coupon event to round up all coupons under $1 to $1... for example, if you had a 25¢ coupon, it was automatically rounded up to $1. I made a few trips and got some great deals!! The first photo is of my last trip to check out another store location to see if they had some of the items that were gone in my previous trips. I got these 9 items for $2.93 or 33¢ per item. Awesome!!

Mmmmm I do love me an Einstein's bagel! Check out this great printable coupon for $1 bagel and schmear and $1.99 bagel thin egg white panini. Expires 12/15. Yummmmy!

This amazingly complex-looking gorgeous paper snowflake is.... wait for it .... easy to make!!

My huge stash of scrapbook paper comes in handy. :) Check out the tutorial HERE and happy crafting !!
