Green Magic

Yesterday I talked to the bank about mortgage rates.  I left her office feeling good.  We're not ready yet, but couponing will be a major factor in saving for that down payment.

I want a house.

And now it doesn't feel like such a far away goal.  Now I feel like we can do it, and more so, we will do it.  To help kick things off, I've got a goal for June to get $100 in FREE stuff.

I'm about $16 bucks from reaching that goal.  Every $100 I save, goes into saving for that down payment.

Check out my latest FREE deals.  Matt, a prep buddy calls my couponing Green Magic.  I like that, Green Magic.



$21.18 for 2 packs of laundry tablets. 120 tabs, all FREE. Tax paid with a prior coupon that I had for $2 off my next order.

Kmart printed the $2 off my next order, after I bought a bunch of crapper paper for a good deal.  I had no idea the $2 came with it, I was pretty excited though when it did.


The liners and candles both had overage.  Overage is when a store owes me money.  I used that overage to pay the tax on the FREE candles and FREE Lysol Dual Action wipes.

And, my 33 cents overage canceled out my 33 cent tax.

How's that for Green Magic?

  2. We own our trailer, paid the mortgage off a long time ago. But we don't own our lot.

    I want my own land/house.

  4. Alicia C: Thankfully, we have a great lot and a bit of room for a garden. Just that it's not OUR land.

    Soon will be, though.

  7. I have to disagree with Alicia, Green Magic sounds like the title of a forgettable 80s fantasy novel to me.
