T0day marks the start of a new month, and it’s been officially one year since I purchased my domain and hosting plan for this site.  I have another post about that coming up, of course, but I have a few things I needed to let you know that will be happening either this week or from now on, s9 I’ll try to keep it short and sweet!

• It’s the start of a new month.  I forgot to remind you to print your end of the month coupons, and I’m so sorry! New coupons have been released, old ones reset (a lot yesterday!), and more will be added or reset all day and each week.  The major sites to check are Coupons.com, Red Plum and Smart Source in case anyone here today is new to couponing.
• A lot of the things I will be doing this week will be “behind the scenes” but you will be able to see it when I’m finished with it.  I will be adding tutorials for the drugstores and a few grocery stores and Target shopping for anyone who is new; it bothers me that inexperienced coupon users can’t come here for information on how to get started.  That’s a major mistake I made as a new blogger and I haven’t taken the time to rectify that situation.  That’s a really high priority for me this week!
• I will not be ending yesterday’s giveaways until tomorrow  because I have no time today to choose winners.  They will end tonight at midnight; I will contact winners within 3 business days.
• I have a few product reviews and giveaways coming up this week!  I am planning on starting those on Wednesday or Thursday, depending on which day I end up going to the doctor. 
• Tomorrow I will have a tentative schedule for you that will be set in stone.  Not every post will be scheduled of course, and you’ll still be able to see surprises and the latest freebies (I will be doing a LOT better than I’m doing now!) but I’ll have a plan for major things like reviews and grocery matches. 
• I am incredibly behind on everything, including still getting out giveaway prizes that I self-sponsored.  so if you’re expecting a prize from me it is coming; it’ll be there as soon as I can get it there.  Trips to the post office are hard to make these days, as I haven’t felt like leaving the house very often unless I’ve had to.  I’m praying the doc has me fixed up and this week I improve enough to get your prizes out to you!
• I will be adding a couple of stores to my coupon matches this week, God willing!  I am not sure which ones but if you have requests now is the time to leave them!  I do my stores in depth in the way that Lori at Moms By Heart does hers because that’s the way they do the most good in my opinion, so you’ll never have an item that’s missed if there’s a coupon to match it.  So if you have a store that isn’t getting adequate coverage leave a comment and I’ll consider adding it to my site!  I’m pretty flexible so I can do more than 2 if need be. The only requirement is, of course, that I am able to get my hands on an ad, either a paper ad *which I prefer* or an online ad. 
• I have a LOt more “how to” posts coming up, including a how-to on a price book and a how-to on coupon organization, and finally a how-to on creating your own coupon database or spreadsheet in further detail than the last post i wrote.  I found a few helpful guides that I want to pass on.

I think that’s all I needed to say as far as what’s going on around here and what will be going on.  I’ll have an extensive list of printable coupons for you by late tonight or early morning so you’ll know where the best things are to print! 

Now, since I just caught myself drifting off to sleep when I snored, I am going to go take a “nap”.  i use the quotation marks because my “naps”‘ last 4-5 hours because it’s the only sleep I get !
