Coupon Train ~~ New Riders Welcome!

[hmcfall711]

Huh?!? You mean you don't want this miserable weather?! Right now we would give our eye teeth for 20 degrees. It's been below zero a lot, but I think the high today is supposed to be about 6 or 8 degrees. A real warm up! Yesterday we got more snow so I'm not sure that old saying about "It's too cold to snow" holds true. It was downright nasty trying to drive to a friend's house yesterday but we are supposed "to know how to drive in these conditions" seeing as how we have winter about six months out of the year.

Anyway, I pulled the shortdated coupons from the two envies and will mail those today. I'll put the others with longer expirations in Monday's envie with the new coupons from Sunday's paper. Sure hope the one I mailed to you on Monday arrives today. I suppose this bad weather is slowing all the mail delivery to a 's pace at best.

Stay warm and enjoy your long weekend. Will you have to make up these days in the summer?

Last night we were 4 degrees. For us that might as well be -40 because our typical lows in the winter are 20-30s. As for driving in this, I was taught to drive in snow and ice by granddad who was a native New Yorker and could drive anything on a solid sheet of ice like it was a normal event. I do OK with the ice BUT everyone else around here goes CRAZY (even a big rain storm and they have no idea how to compensate).

I think the mail is still a little bogged down from Christmas and they are still recovering.

As for school we have 5 snow days built into our schedule. We are schedule 5 days more than we are required by the state to attend. That way if we miss 5 days for snow, we don't have to make it up. We have 2 more teacher inservice days that can be turned into instruction days for the students, so they do not have to come into the summer. Teachers will go two extra days but the students will not. After 7 days out they start tacking them onto the end of the year. We maybe get 1 or 2 a year off, so it has been years since we actually had to make anything up.

The general plan for today is scrapbook, make soup, work a puzzle, and maybe watch a movie. OH the harshness of a SNOW DAY! Have a great weekend.

V4dice - I have an envelope ready to go in the mail to you tomorrow (Tues.). I can't make it to the post office today like normal. Sorry! It will have coupons from the P&G insert on 12/27, pass-alongs from Momejay, and the new coupons from yesterday's inserts (I only got four...).

V4dice - I mailed your envelope yesterday at lunch. When I went to the post office Tuesday evening to mail it, their computer system was down (I was told it was due to them uploading the new priority mail rates?!?). When I went back on Wednesday, it was still down. The only thing they could do MTW was sell stamps! Thankfully, when I went back yesterday at lunch, everything was up and running. My poor post office lady, Sharon, said it was a BORING three days!

Also, V4dice, I am leaving tomorrow for a business trip to Palm Springs, CA (which is going to be like heaven compared to frigid central PA!). I will do my best to pick up a newspaper while I'm out there and send you what I can from it. Momejay has four envies in the mail to me, so when I return next Friday, I should have lots to send your way in next week's envelope. Is that cool?

Momejay - I'll be on the lookout for those envelopes. Thanks a bunch!!!

Thanks! I will let you know when I get them.

Thank you Kim! I got all 3 enive's today!!

Sorry you had such a hard time trying to get the envelope mailed! Thank you and I will be on the look for it.

Don't worry about next week, if you don't get a chance to get a paper, I usually get coupons from my mom and can put together a decent size envelope to mail out for the train until you return. Enjoy your trip and I hope you have some WARM weather (as I look out my window and see more snow)!!!

Got your envie yesterday, Thanks!!

My HT bill was over $83 before coupons, after coupons I paid $14.95.


Myliltink,

I have some more envies ready for the mail tomorrow, hope you can use them.

[Micday]

I received both of your envies today (even the one that didn't have a stamp on it!)

Thanks so much for all the coupons!! Now I can't wait until next payday to go grocery shopping!

No Stamp!

I just bought a new book of stamps, checked and two are gone, where did my stamp go??

The ones I'll be sending out tomorrow will need the PO's weight help. I'm still mad about only getting two inserts last sunday!

Glad to hear you got the coupons but not so glad to hear about the big hole. I guess I should have stuck them in a bag or something first. Oh well, if I have another big one like that I'll know better next time. I hope there are some good ones you can use.

 

[tinytink]

Jacobsmommy--I got your envie today, I have not checked it yet but thank you.

 

[cjnix29]

tinytink...yeah, lots I can use. If only there were as many of the Finish coupons as some of the others, would have been awesome! LOL. Was happy to find one, as it is on sale this week, making it about 75 cents! Thanks again!!
