I Love My Mailbox

I absolutely love my mailbox! I know past a certain age getting mail isn't usually fun, but lately all the free items are making it fun again! Now I just have to figure out how to get the mailbox to eat the bills, so I never have to see them....that would be an AMAZING mailbox! Today, I went to the mailbox and I got a back issue of Marie Clarie (not sure why), coupons from my Aunt Di, and the free photo Valentine's Day cards. The cards are precious! I am not sure what the expiration date is to order them, but check out Melissa's Bargain Blog to see how to order them.

I still haven't planned my shopping trips for the week and it is Wednesday. I keep getting further and further behind, but Paul and I have been organizing all the coupons. My old coupon accordion folder busted due to all of the coupons, so we are now organizing them in a 4" binder. We have been working on it for 3 night and not getting anywhere. I have SOOO many coupons!
