Momma Told Me: Time is money.

Back when I was a newlywed, in my early twenties, I would dedicate large chunks of my week to couponing. I wasn't nearly as organized as I am now, and yet I spent a significantly large portion of time to hunting down discarded inserts, cutting through triplicates, and carefully sorting each coupon by expiration and theme. At that time my life was fairly dull and I truly needed a hobby, it was therapeutic. Matching up grocery coupon deals with manufacturer's coupons was also something I had done with Momma a a young girl, and I was proud to be able to pass on these skills with anyone who could benefit from it.

Of course the times, they are-a-changing; every day I am blessed with more and more 'distractions' and more life to live. My family never seems to stop growing and I am happy to consider even those not related the closest of my family and friends. This keeps my social calendar quite busy in between a full time job and running a household. I still take time to clip and organize coupons, but I don't always have time to sort through the circulars each week. Because of this, printable grocery coupon have really been a lifesaver. They are also the best example of my #1 rule of couponing: anyone can do it.
Just the other week I was refilling my Walmart prescriptions online when a widget popped up on my sidebar highlighting some great Kraft coupons printable savings. Just like that I was virtually cutting savings for some of my favorite Kraft products like Philadelphia cream cheese, Oscar Mayer beef hot dogs, and planters peanuts. I was instantly inspired to text my cousin (who so happens to live across the street) and demand an adults only game night. With her impending c-section 2 weeks away and her daughter visiting grandma up in Oregon, it seemed like the perfect calm-before-the storm for us all to reconnect and enjoy ourselves. Of course, baby Nathan had plans of his own and promptly arrived 11 days early!

I'll take credit for that- we did spend quite a bit of time talking about the delicious S'mores snack mix and Kraft Macaroni and Cheese were would be making, who can blame him for wanting to join in the fun. Naturally the new big sis flew down that very night to meet her baby brother, and the house was packed with children, and family by the time our unofficial game night arrived. No worries! I was more than happy to help keep Sabrina, 11, occupied while her mother settled in back home from the hospital!
Macaroni Ninja Time! How would your kids use the empty boxes of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese? #PackedWithSavings #shop
Kraft has a much larger product range than most realize, and there are currently over 20 digital coupons available through the Coupons.com Walmart online portal. And your print queue can be #PackedWithSavings in not time when you head on over now, but don't delay, these great printable coupons have a limited number of prints, once they're gone, they're gone! One of my favorite coupon deals has to be the $1 off a Kraft Macaroni And Cheese 5 Pack- not only can the kids make this on their own (with supervision) but Sabrina begged to use the leftover boxes for a special 'macaroni ninja' costume afterwards!
Let's face it, nobody had the energy to cook an ornate meal after all the 'ooohing,' 'ahhing,' and garbled baby talk; but we were still a hungry crew, none-the-less. I was happy to keep the spill free Capri-Sun pouches coming to keep the new mom and her kiddos refreshed while socializing with the visiting family. Hosting a large group with fruit pouch drinks also made cleanup a breeze- after sucking every last drop out, these took up almost no space in the trash.
The proud new father lit up the grill with some fresh burger patties and a package of Oscar Mayer beef franks. Halfway through the grilling process I remember hearing, "We have cheese, right?" and let out a hearty laugh, as if I'd ever forget the Kraft Singles! The usual pandemonium then ensued as the life or death decision of 'cheese or no cheese' was passed down from guest to guest so the grill master could properly allocate those precious golden slices. By the time it was time to eat the tweens were ravenous and clamored to build their plates as if the food were about to disappear altogether.

Later that evening I finally broke out the S'mores snack mix cups Sabrina and I had made while waiting for the macaroni to boil. We'd plated them in little paper serving cups, and left them in the fridge to let the moisture soften them a bit for sensitive teeth; naturally every pair of eyes that opened the fridge had asked when on Earth we were going to eat the 'delicious looking S'mores concoction!' With our snack mix in hand, and baby Nathan soundly asleep, we all huddled around the giant ottoman and put on our game faces for some hard-core Monopoly.
So, remember, life doesn't always go as planned- and that's usually when life starts to get really fun! Just because you're juggling a little bit more these days doesn't mean you can't fit in time for great family moments and even great coupon deals. Kraft has some wonderful recipe ideas for every time frame and budget to compliment their online printable coupons, so be sure to head on over today and check them out too!

How do you connect with your family in today's busy world?

  15. The s'mores look amazing!! That will be in our back to school weekend blowout for sure!!
    Oh speaking of school, a lot of schools collect the caprisun pouches and turn them in for .20¢ per pouch in free money for the school. Check with your schools and if they don't do it tell the PTO or your fundraiser president about this. It's so easy, they mail them in and a check is sent to school.
    Easy money for your school. We ended up with almost $4,000 this last year for our PTO to do fun things for the school.

    Thank you so much and congrats on the new member of your family. Such a cutie!!
