Couponing & Rebuilding Our Home

Over the last month I have not been couponing, haven't really been to the drug stores, and only been purchasing groceries that have been needed for the week.  Being in the trailer, there really is no room at all for stock up items.  Passing up great sales has really been tough to do, but somehow I have been handling it well.

Though currently no construction is taking place, we are still waiting for the contractor and insurance adjuster to come to some sort of agreement on the price of rebuilding, we have made several purchases for the new home.   We are purchasing many of the items that they will be installing like tubs, fixtures, vanities, cabinets etc.  so of course being the couponer and deal seeker that I am.  I have been watching home store sales, and coupons very closely. 

Each week I will be updating the total at the top of this page as to what are total savings are to date.  Here's a break down of what we have done so far.
