Tight Wad in Utah

I love Discovery Gateway !  Well...I love it when there are an appropriate amount of people there.  Lately when I've gone it's been uncrowded, so for me a membership is worth it.   And I'm amazed by how much my one year old likes it. Now I have 2 kids crying when we have to leave. :)

photo source Unfortunately our money saving efforts keep us from getting the TLC channel, but watching this clip of TLC Extreme Couponing was awesome!  The best part for me was how ABC News starts by showing extreme couponers, then shows comments from a relationship counselor..LOL cracks me up.  I would definitely consider myself moderate, perhaps mild compared to the couponer who was dumpster diving with her kids...lol  To each his own.   I do admire the thrifty thinking.  :) Looks like a fun show.  Gonna watch it?? Extreme Couponing premieres Dec. 29th at 8pm ET/PT on TLC UPDATE: Joanie from Krazy Coupon Lady is the one pictured above in the dumpster.   Check out her blog post about getting coupon inserts from recycling centers ...you don't always have to get in. :):) .

Guest Post by Lauren at Lauren's Latest Let me now count the ways why we love this soup and why you will love this soup: (1) It’s easy to make (2) all the ingredients are common and inexpensive (3) it’s pretty low effort and fast (4) it’s a very comforting and satisfying meal (6) it’s an easy way to get your kids to eat a whole bunch of vegetables! It’s like every parent’s wish list for dinner! There were 6 kids in my family and this was a very common dinner for us because of all the reasons listed above AND because we all loved it. My Mom was a stay at home Mom and always {without fail!} made all our suppers from scratch! AND! We hardly ever went out to eat! Isn’t that impressive? I have 1 child and I find it hard to resist the $1 menu items calling my name from restaurants down the hill!  However, since we are on a budget and I really feel guilty for eating anything fattening, this soup makes resisting those calls a little more bearable on my lazy, un-motivating days! Thanks, Mo
