~Tired of Being Tired?~

Want energy? Deeply desire more energy? Tired of being tired all the time?

That was me a few months ago. I had felt like that for years! I tried getting more sleep, exercising, eating better, taking naps, etc. Nothing worked! I still felt like I needed about 3 more hours of sleep when I got up.

Can I tell you that there is hope?!

Juice Plus+ was the answer for me. It has fueled my body and I have not ever felt better. This is the first year in 8 years that I have not been sick in the fall (Sept or October). I'm like clockwork getting sick every fall & spring. However, this year I'm not sick and it has been WONDERFUL! I wake up before my alarm and have energy throughout the day. Especially, from 4-9 pm. That was a time that I would normally be exhausted.

Juice Plus+ is simple to take, affordable and convenient. It has been studied more than any other supplement out there. I'm excited to share the news with everyone. So excited that I became a distributor of the product. If you know me, I don't normally sell products (unless I make them).

Go HERE to check out the research. Let me know if you are interested in learning about the studies that get you FREE products!

~My Black Friday Trip~

We headed out LATE (after 9 am) on Black Friday to see if anything was left. Of course, nothing on my list was left. It was sort of nice, because if it wasn't there...it wasn't meant to be! We did go to CVS and I found a few of the FREE items left. This is what I got:


Finish

-$2.99 ECB
-$1 q

2 Planters

As you can see, I ended up getting everything for FREE and I made over $2! Even though they didn't have everything on my list, it was still a good trip.

Happy Tuesday!

~Aldi Comps!~

Last week I took the Aldi ad page from the Dallas Morning News into Wal-Mart and comped away! I was very pleased with my savings.

10 lb potatoes $1.29! (I don't think I've ever gotten 10 lbs that cheap!)
Rolls .99
Pineapple .99
Cream Cheese .89
Eggs .99

All of which were needed for my Thanksgiving holiday meals. I love saving money on food! This is a great example of not using coupons, but saving money on food. Also, using an Aldi ad is a great way to save on fruits & veggies. They always have those listed. Saving money is something everyone can do by using comp ads!

Happy Monday!

~Happy Thanksgiving!~

My goal is to relax and take time truly thank God for this wonderful life. To remember just how blessed I am (we all are). To sit across the table and enjoy a meal together with my little family. The New Year is just around the corner and I want to experience the joy of the next few weeks. Will you join me in vowing to kick holiday stress to the curb? Will you join me in making the everyday moments joyful this holiday season?

Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving!

~Black Friday Week!~

Good Morning Sassy Savers!

Can you all believe that Thanksgiving is this week?! I sure can't! We are still in football play-offs, so life around here is a bit nutty. Thanksgiving means that Black Friday is also this week! I've been looking at the ads, but haven't found anything worth getting up at 3 am for (yet).
This week I'll be posting the on-line ad from some of the major stores. It is fun to see what deals are out there!

~.39 & .49 per lb Turkey!~

Good Morning Sassy Savers!


Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! We went to the SMU v. Navy football game and had a blast. It was a very patriotic game. President George W. Bush was even there :)


Sunday-Tuesday Tom Thumb has turkey's for .49 per lb with an additional $35 purchase. This worked out great for me since I was going to buy some other meat and sale items. We headed there before church and was able to get everything on our list.

I've been told that Albertson's has turkey's for .39 per lb. I don't have any of the details or know if there is an additional purchase necessary. Albertson's is across the lake for me, so not worth driving over just for the turkey. However, if you live near one, this may be a better deal for you.

~Menu Plan!~

Does the idea of planning a menu make you feel like this???

Never fear, the crock pot is here!

Since this fall has been the busiest of our lives, I've had to up my game plan (menu) or we were going to fail big time. What that means for me? I make enough chicken at one setting for 1 week. I separate it and refreeze it for my recipes that I plan to make. I do the same thing with ground beef. That way the meat is already cooked, it just needs to be thawed and put into a recipe. This saves me TONS of time each week, plus it helps me stay on track.

Example: We left the house early Saturday morning and I knew we would be hungry and still in town around lunch. So, I took out my pre-cooked beef and put it in the crockpot with the other chili ingredients (made enough for 2 batches). After lunch, I ended up putting the entire container in the fridge for the next day. Early Sunday morning I put it back in the Crock pot on low so we could have Frito Chili Pie for lunch after church. We came home both days to eat because we knew something was ready for us. This ended up being a great plan for us. Having a plan is key!

~Goals!~

Goals...

Never before in life did I really set specific goals. Sure, I wanted to lose 5 lbs my entire life (who doesn't). However, I never set a goal on paper and did anything about it. UNTIL, I became a mom and got serious about things! I knew that we needed a plan and FAST in order for me to quit my full-time job and stay home with my miracle baby girl.
I was at the point that I was willing to sacrifice most anything in order for that to happen. In my case that meant selling my "dream home" and making some major life changes. Let me just say that I don't regret a second of those choices. After all, life really is all about "choices"...Isn't it?
Was it hard? Well, at times it has been. However, I would not ever give up a moment that I've had with my daughter. Stuff is just stuff. Fads will fade, but time won't stand still.

I encourage to not be afraid to set goals and get a plan of action for your financial life. You can do it, I promise!

Happy Wednesday!
