How's the couponing/stock pile going?

I get asked all of the time how my couponing is working out and if I feel like it has been worth it. Well, the answer is YES, YES, YES!!!! It has been great. I love how much $ I save. I love having my own "store" in my basement. I love knowing that everything I buy is at the "rock bottom price". I have also been asked about how I store it all. So, here are some photos for you : )






Yep, I do love it all! It is a great feeling to spend $300 or less a month as apposed to $600 or more and not having much to show for it at the end of the month. I am a believer : )

What do we have here?

So, Rick decided he would make his first cake the other night. (any of you that don't know...he makes cookies, muffins, and brownies....a lot!! He does a great job making them) He asked for my help but I told him it would be much easier than making all of his other creations so he went for it. Well.........I should have helped my poor husband out!!!
Um....he baked a carrot cake. Well he tried anyway. He cooked it in a little square baking dish and it would not cook all the way through. Then the kids were inpatient because this was supposed to be our FHE treat so he decided to frost it early. Well....you know what happens then. : )
You can't tell from the picture to well but the middle of the cake was raw and sunken in. Oh my!

This is one of the pieces!
I guess he tried eh?
It tasted ok. Next time I will give him a hand.
