Tonight we decided to give the family well most of the family a treat by taking them out to Steak N Shake at the South Point Casino in Las Vegas. We being a party of 8 were seated within 10 minutes which was great even though it was a Wednesday at dinner time. We were given an extra large booth with a chair on the end. I had the Triple Burger with Fries economically priced at $3.99. My husband had the Double Cheeseburger with bacon and fries at $4.59. Two of the kids had kids meals and the rest had burgers. We were waited on right away given drinks when ordered and offered more time to look at menu when needed. Our food was hot. I was surprised at how skinny the fries were but they were good. We were told we had to try the shakes so I had a penut butter cup shake which was very good, my husband had an interesting shake where half was orange and half was vanilla, very good he said. Each shake ranged from 2.99-4.25.
Overall great low cost place to take a family when you want better than fast food prices combined with old school charm.
This is a blog about living with 9 kids, a fabulous husband, 1 dog and 3 cats. With so many family members we have lots of fun. To make things interesting I have become a coupon junky. Our children all wrestle even the three girls. Our children range in age from 7 to 22. One of our children is vision impaired but gifted; one has a heart defect; and the youngest is allergic to the cold. I am disabled so playing mom is sometimes passed off to dad.

More Items for Free or Next to Free
Went shopping today. My big scores included 15 bags of Chex Mix from Walgreens at .15 each after Register Rewards. Also shopped at Smith's at bought 3 more bottles of Old Spice Body Wash at .49 each; 6 Old Spice Deodorant at .49 each; 3 bottles of Herbal Essence Conditioner for .79 each. Next trip was at CVS where our entire shopping trip was $4.36 and we purchased 1 Clairol Hair Dye, 2 bottles of CVS Vitamin D and a gallon of milk. Went to Walmart and got paid .24 to buy 12 packages of floss and another .30 for 10 packs of pens.
Everyone asks me how I do it. The key is stocking up when the product is low and everything goes down at some point in the year. When the price is Dow, way down purchase what your family would use in 6 months, possibly 1 year on some products which will be discussed in my upcoming book and videos soon to be posted to You Tube.
You also need a supply of coupons to make it happen. Keep reading, become a fan follow my blog for updates on book and videos.
We have a family if 11 and we cut our grocery cost down from $350 a week to way under $100. If we are running low on money we don't spend anything that week and only eat what's in our stockpile. Stockpile, still another video.
See you soon.

Going Shopping 4 Free
I will begin posting a blog entitled Shopping 4 Free. Here I will highlight what items I will be picking up for free. There may be more than one post a week as I will post the blog entrees as I discover the items. After all we all want to score something for free.
This week I will be getting Schick Disposable Razors priced at $1.97 using the $2/1 coupon at Walmart. I will be getting lots of razors, after all I have 9 people in my family that shave.
Also from Walmart, I will be getting free dental floss. Oral B Floss 55 yd is free after the $1 coupon from last weeks, 01/01/12, newspaper
I will be getting free boxed macaroni n cheese from Target using a printable Target coupon.
For upcoming sickness in our home I will be getting Triaminic Fever Reducer. Free after the $3/2 mfr coupon and $5/2 Register Rewards.
Other free items from Walgreens include:
- MuscleTech Smart Protein Bar Free after $1.99 Register Rewards
The keys to remember is that store ads run in cycles so when something is free you should aim to get a 3-6 month supply of that item for your family as long as it is not perishable. Anything more than that is taking a chance on your family not being able to use it because the product may lose its quality.
That is all for now.
Happy Couponing
