ORGANIZE YOUR BINDER!

WHAT WONDERFUL WEATHER WE HAVE HAD HERE FOR THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER! ALTHOUGH I LOVE FALL IT SURE IS NICE TO HAVE IT WARM.  THIS MONTH I HAVE HAD TO GET A NEW MEAL PLANNER! MY OLD ONE WAS FULL! IT WAS SAD AND FUN ALL AT THE SAME TIME. MY CURRENT FOCUS WITH MY PLANNING IS TO HAVE A BALANCED VARIETY OF HEALTHY MEALS OVER THE COURSE OF THE MONTH. WE HAVE NEVER ATE OVERLY UNHEALTHY AND I HAVE PLANNED LESS RED MEAT INTO OUR DIET IN THE PAST, BUT NOW I AM WORKING FISH INTO THE MENU. NOT MY FAVORITE BUT WORKING ON IT.  I AM SURE EARL WOULD LIKE MORE BROWNIES WORKED IN BUT TOO BAD FOR HIM!!!

I HAVE ALSO HAD TO UP-SIZE MY COUPON BINDER! THAT WAS FUN TOO! I HAVE HAD A FEW PEOPLE ASK ME HOW I ORGANIZE MY COUPONS. FIRST, I BUY PLASTIC INSERTS WITH POCKETS IN THEM ...BASEBALL CARD INSERTS AT STAPLES. THEN A PACK OF DIVIDERS FOR THE BINDER....THEN I ORGANIZE ACCORDING TO HOW WALMART HAS THEIR DEPARTMENTS ORGANIZED........HBA.....(HEALTH AND BEAUTY AIDS) ...SHAMPOO...DEODORANT....LOTION....FEMININE PRODUCTS....RAZORS...WHATEVER YOU FIND IN A HBA DEPARTMENT AT WALMART...........

PHARMACY........ADVIL, COLD MEDICINES, VITAMINS, CONTACT SOLUTION...ETC....

COSMETICS....

PAPER GOODS AND CHEMICALS......TOILET TISSUE, PAPER TOWEL..TIDE...BATHROOM CLEANER...AIR FRESHENERS...GARBAGE BAGS

FOOD....

OTHER.....BABY PRODUCTS...BATTERIES..BUG SPRAY

ORGANIZE THE WAY THE BIG STORES HAVE IT ORGANIZED AND THEN IT'S EASIER TO LOOK AT WHAT  YOU HAVE...I ALSO MAKE MY SHOPPING LIST LIKE THIS SO I AM NOT ROAMING ALL OVER THE STORE.

MY PRINTER WAS NOT PRINTING THE WAY I WOULD HAVE LIKED AND I TRIED OUT THIS $19 PRINTER....YEP! $19 AND IT PRINTS LIKE A CHARM! PERFECT FOR PRINTING COUPONS AND RECIPES WHICH IS ABOUT ALL I DO ANYWAY ON A PRINTER!  A GOOD LITTLE DEAL!
