Tonight, I went to Fall Junior Parent night at Metea and “became informed” about all the information regarding standardized testing, post-secondary planning, and all kinds of other “getting ready to empty your wallet for college” stuff.  🙂  It’s really hard to believe that Sarah is going to be a senior next year, graduate, and go off to college.  She was JUST BORN YESTERDAY!  YIKES!!!!!!  🙂

While I was learning about how I would have to spend my money, Angela was off learning how to save money!  🙂  As mentioned in other blog posts, she is BIG into this black-belt couponing suff.   She got a call from a friend who told her that the lady who is the “authority” on couponing in our area, Jill Cataldo, was going to be giving a seminar in our area.  Naturally, Angela jumped right on it and the two attended together.  It still amazes me at how much we can save by doing this.  Check out Jill’s web site:  http://www.jillcataldo.com.  It is geared toward the Chicago area, but it has tips that anyone can use.  The first month that we did the coupon stuff, we got over $1,000 in food for under $250!  Crazy!  🙂  It really helps our budget!  🙂
