Coupons, Long Hair and Matches!


So when we first moved to the D.C. area, not going to lie...we were a bit shocked with the grocery prices! Each week going to the grocery store was a painful experience! Well lucky for me, one of Broc's childhood babysitters and good friends lived in the area and had become a superstar couponer! And yes, you guessed it! She taught me her ways and now I have become a pretty good couponer myself! I won't go so far as to say I am a superstar but it does get exciting at times! Watching the grocery bill drop ten or fifteen bucks due to coupons is a plus! So for now I will thank my superstar couponing teacher and continue in my quest to clip, file and save big!!

Now as far as the long hair goes I guess you could say the hair is getting long again! It is a constant debate in the Buttars household! Should I cut it or should I not? I love my hair short because it is so easy to take care of! But then again I think it makes my face look fat which makes me not really like it! And I love the long hair because it's basically what I have had my whole life! But then again it takes much more time and energy! So for now I guess it will be a waiting game! How long can I put up with the longness and avoid the fat face? A question yet to be answered!

By now I am sure you are wondering why matches? Well we had a big snow storm the other week and go figure Broc was out of town for it! After a 30 minute commute turned into 3 hours I knew I was in for some fun! I made it home just in time to eat some dinner and charge up my phone battery before the power went out! Well lucky for me we had just purchased candles a few days before! Not lucky for me we had no matches! Now let me just say...lighting candles without matches doesn't really work! Thank goodness for me I have an awesome next-door-neighbor who happens to be more prepared than myself and she was able to give me a light! Needless to say matches were the number one thing on our grocery list this week! Coupons or not we got the matches and are now prepared! Good feeling! Bring on the snow D.C. we are ready for anything now! ;)

Happy blogging!
