Simplify Sundays

Debbie McCuiston, self-proclaimed "Queen of Clutter-Free", does a segment for us each Sunday on simplifying our lives, getting rid of "clutter", and focusing on what's important.  We love this segment (and Debbie) and we hope you do too!  Take it away Debbie....

 

I must admit it was wonderful to see the pictures of Kasey's room transformation. You are a very brave lady. Keep up the good work- you will be surprised how energized  you get just for making progress in a long-forgotten room. Maybe we could make organizing an olympic event. I can see it now, women all over the world competing in synchronized cleaning or maybe clutter-throwing. I think we may have found a way to get more people involved in the whole exercise bandwagon. Lose 200 pounds in one month just by cleaning your house. Sounds like a plan to me. Much better than sweating in really tacky outfits and collecting all that exercise equipment.  Stay tuned I will get back with you later with all the details!

 

This week I must confess my dirty little secret. I have a room at my house that is the pit. It has always been the room that if you didn't know where to put something - put it in mom's office. Or if it is an unfinished project- put it in mom's office. If you need a place to hide something - you guessed it - put it in mom's office. It has always been the thorn in my side. I have scheduled entire weekends to cleaning that room.  Needless to say I am very good at finding other things to do instead of  cleaning "the office." So today I thought I should follow my own advice and put my "big girl panties on and suck it up" and clean my office. I must say I made a very good dent in the room. You can see the top of the desk and the floor. You can even set on the couch. (No, I will not be posting pictures- would you believe I don't know how to get them from the camera to the computer?) 

 

This week I wanted to explore one of the many reasons we collect clutter. Last week we talked about the issue of control or lack of control.  I thought I would try to address my personal problem- the issue of priorities- or as I like to call it - I am way too busy to clean that room.  It seems that I can find a million other things to do instead of cleaning my office. I will spend hours planning to clean it, gather supplies to clean it and give myself a wonderful pep talk about the need to clean that room. But when it comes down to cleaning the room, everything else seems to be more important. Maybe this reflects many women's ideas of how we unclutter our homes. We usually start with the room most used by the family or the kids room. Never do we start in our bedroom or our office or our sewing room. Do you see a pattern starting to show up? Isn't it also the hardest room to keep clean? I think it's because we are last on the never-ending list of things that we must do. 

 

I always tell people to clean their bedroom first because you need a room that you can retreat to and a place that is peaceful. A place to gather your thoughts, to make plans and dream dreams. But it is usually last on the list. There is never enough energy or money left to complete our special room. 

This week, make your bedroom a priority in your quest to declutter your life. To keep from getting overwhelmed try the box method. Get 4 boxes , label them as follows:

1. Throw Away 

2. Give Away 

3. Put Away 

4. Yard Sale (personally I don't do yard sale, because I never have a yard sale and it becomes part of the mess again)

 

As you start to clean, if it does not already have a place in your room, put it in one of these boxes. When a box becomes full take it away immediately. DO NOT leave it in your room for more than 2 days or it will stop your progress. Keep working through the clutter one small area at a time. Set a timer or work every other day on this project. Take your time.  Remember, you are doing this for you. Do it right the first time so you don't get depressed and give up on making this dream a reality. 

Also get rid of things that you are holding onto from the past. It's time to let it go. If it is tied to a past relationship that went bad, get rid of it and the memories will fade much quicker. It's still cold outside, you may want to take those things that are weighing you down and have a little bonfire. I think it would be nice to dance around the fire and thank Jesus for a fresh new start and the cleansing power of the fire.( Watch out not to burn too much at once - the neighbors may call the fire department on you). 

You are worth the time and energy it will take to complete this room.  If you don't take time to carve a corner out for you, you may get lost in the clutter and that is not a happy place to be. I believe that if we have a place to quiet our spirits, spend time with the Lord and gather our thoughts, we could conquer our world (or at least our little corner of the world). God did not intend for us to slay dragons, fix a broken heart, mend fences and cook dinner without first taking some time for ourselves. Take time to dream again.  Never stop dreaming and always remember - God dreams bigger dreams for us than we could ever dream for ourselves.

FREE Stacy's Chips Coupon Arrived!

If you were one of the lucky ones who hurried over to become a Facebook fan of Stacy's Chips back when I posted it HERE then you can expect (or have already received) your FREE Stacy's Chips coupon in your mailbox!
I got mine today, and it's going to pair nicely with the deals going on at Walgreens and CVS this week.
If you weren't on board for that promotion, and you still want to get some cheap Stacy's chips, there is a coupon HERE and HERE you can print if you've never printed it before.
*Print Limit may have reached cap, I can't tell since I've printed before so it's invisible to me now.

Walgreens Activity Book WINNER!

Congrats to .....Stacy!  Here's what she had to say:

"Love, love, love couponing!! I am a homeschooling mom to 5. We would love an activity book!"

Thanks to all who entered the little Activity Book Giveway - I know it's sometimes hard to find those special coupon books at the stores - and it's doubly hard to know you're missing out on a bit of savings!  For those Go-Getters out there, here is the barcode/UPC # found on the back of the book.  This should enable your manager/pharmacist to order some for your store if he/she has had a confused look the last few times you asked about it:
* Number Above Barcode: 484533
* Number Below Barcode: 3 11917 10922 0
I don't know exactly how those barcode numbers work, but I know that this has enabled others to order.  My manager looked on the computer and couldn't even find the book available to order just from the name - so hope it helps!

For the great deal on Huggies at Walgreens this week, see HERE.

Big Lots 20% Off Coupon!

It's true, Big Lots is NOT my go-to place for cheap food, toiletries, or household supplies like it used to be.  But when I get itchy for a good deal on something like towels, small appliances, art supplies, or chintzy underdrawers - it's still my special spot!

GO HERE to print this 20% Off Coupon for Buzz Club Members - Good from 1/23 - 1/30, for ANY ITEM in the store except for gift cards.  Here are some ideas of things to use this on - that are difficult to get bargains on any other way:

Stockpile Shelf (Okay, it's called a "Ventilated Shelf", but we all know what it is!): $32

After 20% Off = $25.60

Wooden BUNKBEDS: $199 (marked down from $299)

After 20% Off = $179

This is what I'm using mine for!  We've been needing a new couch since our first year of marriage - well, we've put aside a little money lately, and it looks like "a little" will be enough!  This couch is Big Lots priced at $350 - marked down to $299

After 20% Off = $259!

In fact, my husband's trying to convince me to throw out both of our gross old couches and get *2* of these easy-care wipeable beauties!

NOTE: Much of Big Lots furniture comes from Ashley Furniture Home Store - and you can google it to find out it's retail price, constructions quality, etc...  This one looks pretty decent!

Possible Food Lion Huggies/Scott/Kotex Catalina?

Meijer is running a catalina promotion involving Huggies, Kotex, & Scott Products Valid 1/17-1/27:

Buy 2 items ~ Get $3 Catalina, Buy 3 ~ Get $4 Catalina

We had a reader email us today that she got a $3 Catalina back from Huggies after spending $14 at FOOD LION.  Has anyone else received random Huggies, Scott or Kotex catalinas in the last few days?  I'm wondering if this is an unadvertised catalina deal at Food Lion.  If so - let us know - this could make for some VERY cheap Huggies wipes combined with the 75¢ printable coupons!

NOTE: Don't run out and buy up a ton of Huggies, Kotex, or Scott until we know!  I'm just trying to suss out the possibilities - but I don't want anyone to go and get frustrated.

Another Testimonial - Keep them coming!!

I attended your workshop on Saturday at Westside Baptist in Warner Robins.Here's one of the deals I was able to get at Walgreens: Buy 4 Dayquil orNyquil @ $5.00 each. Use the $2.00 coupon off on each from Telegraph 1/17,making them $3.00 each. Then Walgreens prints you a $10.00 coupon on thepurchase. After, the first purchase they are practically free. I haveattached photos of my purchases! Dawn B.

~~~~Okay Gals, you middle Ga folks mean business!!~~~~~

Thanks for sending in your testimonial and pics.  A week ago that would have cost you at least $100.00!!  That is an amazing feat to tackle Walgreen's like that.  You Go Girl!!

Thanks to all of you for your patience last week.  For those of you who did not attend the workshop, Kelly was planning on teaching.  She was already in Macon, GA and had set everything up on Friday ready for the next morning.  THEN....... she was either hit by a virus or food poisoning.  She called me around 3:50 am to tell me that she had been up all night vomiting.  So I jumped up, got dressed as fast as I could and drove down to Warner Robbins which is about a 3 1/2 - 4 hour dirve.  I arrived at 9:10am with about 100 ladies waiting for me.  Thanks again for everyones patience, I enjoyed spending the day with you and am so excited to hear from each one of you how much are saving!!  (Kasey)

A word to those in desperate need of hope......

God is faithful, no matter where you are financially, there is HOPE!  We both have testimonies of God's goodness and faithfulness to us during extreme financial pressure.  Your hope will go far beyond cutting your grocery bill in half, which in itself is an incredible testimony.  This journey can take you to a place of radical giving out of your abundance.           

Ephesians 3:20 (New King James Version)

20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think,

according to the power that works in us
