A Personal Note from Joan on the COUPON CLASS

For those of you that have already received it, this is your reminder. For those of you who haven't decided yet, here is why it would be good to come check it out:

2 weeks ago, my daughter in Provo bought $100 worth of household goods, toiletries and food for $2.50!

Last week she lead me by the hand and she and I bought (4) $10 items for $ .99 ea! And some 'Always" pads that retail for about $5.00 for $ .50! And I have coupons for 2 months worth of FREE contacts for myself.

I thought it would take too much of my time to cut coupons out, ect. This is what she does WEEKLY:

She spends an hour making out her shopping list & cutting coupons

And an hour going to her 3 stores that are near each other, picking the items up.

This is an excellent way to build your supplies up at very little cost.

I thought it was un-ethical, too good to be true. My daughter spent an hour going over why it was honest and fair.

Manufacturers use their advertising dollars, and get a prime spot on the store shelf after a certain level of sales in a peticular period. It ends up being a win-win for everyone involved.

"But I don't get the newspaper." Michelle's ward has had a coupon class, and their Relief Society has a volentary program where those who get the paper bring their Sunday coupon booklet to R.S. and the couponer sisters can get free coupons. Also, Heather will be showing us how to get the best price on these coupons (like $ .75 a week).

JUNE PREPAREDNESS GOALS

*Ok, due to the almost constant rain, this is the month I will actually be planting the bulk of my garden. Which is ok. Despite my best intentions, I usually don't end up planting most things until the first of June and I always end up getting a bounteous harvest anyway.

*I also need to check my canning supplies and replenish whatever I need in the way of jars, lids, etc. If you have a pressure cooker it would be a great time to get the pressure gauge checked at your local extension office. I also like to stock up on quart sized and gallon sized freezer bags (must be high quality like Ziplock) so I will be ready for freezing extra produce. Sometimes I will get a giant bucket of beans from a neighbor and I'm just not in the canning groove, so I do a lot of freezing.

*Last month, to make up for the garden goal I did not accomplish, I ordered a giant bag of 9 grain cereal from www.honeyvillegrain.com and it is DELISH! Even with morning sickness I can eat it and my kids gobble it right up if it's got a little brown sugar cooked in. So I totally recommend this delicious cereal for your storage and it is so nutritious-check out the link to see all the good stuff it contains! 1/2 cup will feed four people in my family-try getting that kind of a value from your cold cereal!
