Food Storage While Saving

Image
By

I went shopping 3 times this week and spent $30.92.  Pictured is what's going in my food storage!  Before "couponing" I never added much to my storage, because I never had extra in our budget.  Now it's just not an issue.  And this is just from a week!  It adds up.

btw- I got the organic pasta for .80 and the tuna for .09!

Good for you!

Food storage is pretty important, as I've learned first hand (we're living on it now!)

Keep building your food storage!

Gardner Village Series: Country Furniture & Gifts

By
Gardner Village is a local treasure. If you've never found your way down there, October is the month to do it!  The shop owners love Halloween! The village becomes a witch village and many times, shop owners will even dress up.   On my most recent trip to Gardner Village, I stopped in at Country Furniture & Gifts which is a store very ready for Halloween.

The store is located in part of the old restored flour mill built in 1877 by Archibald Gardner in West Jordan, Utah.  The store is very family oriented and houses many built-to-last items such as dining room tables, sofas, beds and chairs.  They are also famous for their rug room where many of their rugs are still USA made. As they say, "A rug makes a huge impact for a minimum investment to any room."


The home accessories and giftware are amazing!  They have all sorts of decor for all sorts of personalities. Please be sure to pay them a visit.  It's worth it!
