Early Birthday Present

So yesterday Jeremy told me that he purchased my birthday present. I thought that was a little strange since my birthday isn't until JULY! I told him not to give me any clues because I love surprises. Well today we were out to lunch and I was telling him that I saw Boise Broadway was doing a rendition of Wicked May of 2011 and thought it would be fun to get tickets. (I'm kinda obsessed with Wicked and have been bringing it up almost daily about how I'd love to go see it.) Well I guess he was worried that I was going to buy tickets on my own for 2011 or for this May when we go to California for my brothers wedding and so he blurted out of nowhere, "THAT'S WHAT YOUR BIRTHDAY PRESENT IS, WE'RE GOING TO SEE WICKED!" It took me by surprise and I sat shocked for a minute. Then the excitement came, YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have tickets to see Wicked at San Francisco's Orpheum theatre Saturday, May 29th, and I can't wait!!! Kinda funny that it's my birthday present since that will be two days before Jeremy's birthday and the day after our year and a half anniversary, but whatever it is.... Happy birthday to Jeremy? Happy Anniversary? Happy birthday to me?....I'm going to see Wicked!!!!! I have the best husband ever and love him to death for always doing these sorts of things to make me happy!

Total Savings $100!!!!

So it's always a thrill when Albertsons has their doubler coupons out. So for the last day I've been planning my shopping spree. I woke up excited for all the free food I was going to get. And this my friends is what I came home with today. . .
How much did it cost me you ask? Well drum roll please. . . $10!!!!!! I'm pretty pleased with myself right now but even more so when I added up all the savings and it came up to $100 saved!! Even though we are very poor college students we now have a full corner of our spare bedroom stacked full of food storage. Last month we literally spent a hundred dollars less on groceries than previous months, and we are getting WAY more food. YES, I'm addicted to couponing!!!!!
