Just a reminder, I’m giving away $50 to CSN stores. It ends on Friday, stop by to enter.

OK, now, in order to get the full affect of these Toddler-isms, the phrases that have me in stitches on a daily basis, you have to imagine them in a munchkin voice, with the biggest, most sincere brown eyes looking up at you.

Will you clean my butt again?
{yes, this is the second post this week showing the kiddo’s naked butt}

Can you close the sun?

I don’t know about thaaaaat!
{I have no idea where he got this phrase from. Ahem}

And finally…

Milk, you go outside and play GOLF {said in a menacing, 2 year old voice.}

What is the funnies thing your kiddo has said to you this week?

So we’re 4 weeks in, and if I do say so myself, I’ve been doing pretty well in the Budget Boot Camp challenges. But I think they are starting to get harder. Or they will be, beginning next week with organizing coupons. Which I need to do. Badly. Maybe I’ll even share a before and after pic.

But I’m getting a little ahead of myself. This week’s challenge was coupons. Not necessarily using them, but finding them.

I didn’t get serious about couponing until the last few weeks. I’ve always had blogs that I’ve followed for freebies and good deals, but I would always just skim through them, looking for the best deals.

OK, I still do that. But now I’m looking a little closer. Because those freebies and great deals are saving me money. And I like that.

So here are my top 10 places for coupons and freebies.

1. Mummy Deals and In Good Cents (of course!)
2. Freebies for Mom
3. $5 Dollar Dinners (coupons and amazing, inexpensive recipes)
4. The Mother Load (Freebie Friday)
5. Totally Target (which actually just makes me want to go to Target and shop)
6. Minnesota Coupon Adventure (for more local deals and freebies)
7. Target (because they have Target coupons, which are stackable. Which is awesome!)
8. Coupons.com
9. RedPlum.com
10. SmartSource.com

I also use Google to find coupons. Sometimes a products web site will have a coupon. Or there may be another source hidden out there that I didn’t know about.

And did you know that most times you can print a coupon more than once? Just hit the back button. 2, 3 sometimes 4 times.

I also buy the local newspaper on Sundays. I don’t subscribe because there’s isn’t a subscription available for Sunday only, so it’s more cost effective for me to just buy the paper every week. Plus, if I know in advance that there is only going to be one insert, I will sometimes skip that issue.

Phew. Those are my sources for some fantastic coupons. What are your favorite blogs for deals, freebies and coupons?

P.S. I spent almost $70 in groceries. Toilet paper, make-up and sunscreen are to be blamed. Boo. Hoping to stay around the $50 mark. I promise to do better next week.
