Do some googling if you have no clue what we're talking about. </div><br /><div>So the first question is how does this all work. We've got a basic knowledge of how to use coupons... duh. But people are cracking the system and figuring out how to <em>really</em> use coupons and get more bang for their buck, and the best part is they are sharing this information via the internet. So we've got to do some studying online and get the down low from friends who are on board with this craze and learn the down and dirty of coupon-clipping, buy-at-the-best-price shopping. </div><br /><div>Now once we get a basic working knowledge of how this all works, the second question is are we really gonna use it? We're talking lots of prep work: searching for coupons, actual clipping of the coupons, organizing the coupons, remembering the coupons, planning the shopping route, studying each store's sales routines, etc, etc, etc, and then repeat each week. And assuming we're good at this, at the end of each month, we will have saved some serious cash from our grocery bills.</div><br /><div>So what about you? Are you in or out? We'll give you some time to think about your answer. Go try it out for awhile, take it for a test drive, sleep on it... That's what we've decided to do. We're gonna at least take the band wagon around the corner.</div>kroonerraterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08830382566621742339noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3466299102979021306.post-42199098179892851312009-06-29T13:33:00.005-04:002009-06-29T13:44:11.449-04:00Under My Skin<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaP3tQZzl3NDSl9EeozpP20juy5vum3QAfFY5i2rLXX1BId8GOPAlBEglkafBq8sbR6xKZUE3VVIvSuZ_PhmztOPQTuKbPpfM5GxxxDwYiAkBfSwJOogqd-bUa1ZNEXxwFzB_FfK0mZew/s1600-h/bother+you.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352805382200319362" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 239px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaP3tQZzl3NDSl9EeozpP20juy5vum3QAfFY5i2rLXX1BId8GOPAlBEglkafBq8sbR6xKZUE3VVIvSuZ_PhmztOPQTuKbPpfM5GxxxDwYiAkBfSwJOogqd-bUa1ZNEXxwFzB_FfK0mZew/s320/bother+you.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />What do you do when someone does something that completely annoys the snot out of you? Not like anything offensive or hurtful... but something that bugs you. I'm talking about folding/stapling a piece of paper the wrong way or using the copy machine wrong... you know something that disturbs you in an OCD, Adrien Monk sort of way.<br /><br />Do you say something, give them a funny look, grab it from them and do it the "right" way, or just shut up and go boutcha bitness??<br /><br /><p></p><p></p><p></p><br />What do you think?

It's been so quiet around the office... I'm pretty sure about 40% of the staff are on VA-CA.<br /><br /><br />There has been some juicy newlywed talk around here though... kinda gross if you ask me :)<br /><br /><br />Anyone have anything to add???kroonerraterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08830382566621742339noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3466299102979021306.post-8691499870618268052009-05-26T09:06:00.002-04:002009-05-26T09:10:51.517-04:00Tooth Fairy Gone Bad<span style="font-family:arial;color:#663366;">Note to self: When leaving money under your child's pillow from the infamous Tooth Fairy, try to leave out the Tuscan Bistro Italian Restaurant receipt!! I think I am going to receive the Mother of the Year Award for this one! </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#663366;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#663366;">This opened up a whole can of worms bright and early on a Tuesday morning. I was NOT prepared to enlighten little Anna Catherine on the real <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">identity</span> of the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">fantasy</span> world we had been living in for the 10 short years of her life. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#663366;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#663366;">Yep, I did it. I was honest and told her the truth. Wonder who took it worse? Her or ME??</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#663366;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#663366;">Bummer!</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#663366;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#663366;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#663366;">We'll have a great time talking about this when Rachel drags herself in the morning after a holiday weekend. I would never think of opening up this topic without her! </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#663366;"></span>The Southern Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03282311688599718982noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3466299102979021306.post-41122236757858401282009-05-19T15:13:00.001-04:002009-05-20T11:16:59.897-04:00Welcome to our blog!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5xL5kOs3E8HpdAnfXUfp_emG2RIiaSKnb8koDafBy-b3QG_jCkpk60NEp1nA6fhj3s7yVcJaXGdKGQrB5kRgJ-H2MjYNNR5jBvAcdGlP90dBzrfx9gkbuDivip3b5VWLoL_ar_QAONTI/s1600-h/cube.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337618879645961602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 309px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5xL5kOs3E8HpdAnfXUfp_emG2RIiaSKnb8koDafBy-b3QG_jCkpk60NEp1nA6fhj3s7yVcJaXGdKGQrB5kRgJ-H2MjYNNR5jBvAcdGlP90dBzrfx9gkbuDivip3b5VWLoL_ar_QAONTI/s320/cube.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://www.cubefigures.com/motivators1.html"></a></div><br /><br /><div>This "joint effort" blog is to document and share all the exhilarating conversation that takes place in our cubicle.
