incredible! and thank you!

So this has nothing to do with Ireland. But I felt the need to post about it because it was so amazing! I don't know if any of you watch good morning America but they had a special on that I think everyone should see! It was about using coupons to save money. ...I know what you will say ya right I don't have time or its not worth it. Or at least that's what I would have said. Watch these videos. In the first one there is an explanation of the basics about it. They spent 369 ish dollars on food and household items and the store had to PAY THEM 6 ish dollars! that is so crazy. the second linked video is an example of how she saves that much money.

there was another link with a lady telling her story. She put her items on the belt then he rang them all up then her coupons it went from something like 54 dollars to 4 and he thought he messed up and needed to start again. But really thats just how much she was able to save!

links(copy and paste them into a browser window like a normal website):

I had no idea coupons could save so much and their tips sound great and are things I never thought about trying before. I know its random and I can't even use them over here...but I will be as soon as I get home!

the website with info about the lady and also many other useful links is www.becentsable.com

ps on and Ireland note I found Dr.P in Cork!! yay! It and a panini will be my treat on vday!

PPS Thanks soooooo much to all who have sent me care packages!! they are amazing and much appreciated! I overflowed the pantry space I have and had to start storing things in my room! :)
