Wow, What A Week!

by admin on May 11, 2010

As regular readers if this blog know, I am not exactly the world’s most organized person. Many take comfort in this as, even as disorganized as I am, I’ve still been saving big at the check-out for over 25 years! That means anyone, regardless of organizational skills or bent, can save big too!

However, even though organization is never a priority for me, it does feel good when it happens. As of today, ALL my coupons have been clipped, sorted and filed, and ALL my rebates have been mailed!

WOW!

This, by extension, also means that my office is clean! I do have a pile of filled donation boxes I have to cart out and give away, but those are a neat stack. I need to call tomorrow as one of my reader’s needs the number too.

Will this ever happen again? Eh. Once a year whether I need to do it or not. ;-) I do know I’m not turning over a new leaf, but it is great not to have to look at piles and piles and piles of coupons. Hopefully you all can help me out once a month or so by accepting some ROAK coupon envelopes. We shall see if I can keep that up.

Stay tuned!

Hi Didi,

A few times this past week I put up potluck envelopes of coupons as a RAOK.

I cleaned out my printable coupons and I feel so much better. I want to finish my rebates and entering my receipts in my spreadsheet but my husband has given me a deadline to make a new logo for our new company so now organization is at the bottom of my list. (He has asked me to do it for over 3 months so I guess he has a right–just not in the mood.) I just need to do the logo fast so I can get caught up before I get really behind.

Good for you Ann! You must feel lighter and free. You are an inspiration and here’s hoping you stay clutter-free!
