One of the BEST things I have discovered since I've changed the way we spend money, is FREE SAMPLES! Almost daily, I get a gift in the mail! And they aren't small "sample" sizes! Nothing is better than free toilet paper, granola bars and yes even laundry detergent! Awesome! I use the following two sites to help me locate my freebies: www.allyou.com and www.hip2save.com. All You has a daily free sample, and Hip2Save posts when new samples become available several times during the day, she even has a "freebie" section! Love them!
Went to Kroger and Publix yesterday, will post the deals that I got there later!

New Purpose of Blog!
Hey Hey bloggers! I have been using this blog in the past just to chronicle the lives of the Cokers! But I am changing direction. Recently my family has gone through a difficult time financially. I have had to change the way my family uses it's money. And it's been a very positive change! So I will be sharing the different things that I am doing and how I am saving money here in Murfreesboro, Tennessee!
First things first here is how we have changed our everyday life!
1. No Eating Out! If we do eat at a drive-thru or restaurant, we eat almost free with coupons!
2. I COUPON and mainly purchase items that are .50 or under! Except for essentials such as milk, diapers and meat. But I get good deals on those as well.
3. We BUDGET! Every Penny has a Name! If you aren't a listener to Dave Ramsey, you have to check him out!
Now I am no means an expert. I am just getting started on this adventure. And I am not an extreme couponer, nor a hoarder of food. But I am a mom, of three beautiful girls, who are in a private Christian school, and who has a lot of medical bills to pay!
So lets do this together!!

Dr's Dr's Dr's!
My life is full of doctor appointments these days!! I'm starting to get a little frustrated. I'm seeing my chiropractor, my general practitioner, my physical therapist AND my neurologist and no one seems to be giving me any answers as to my crazy mind! (Yes we all know I've been a little "crazy" for a while, but this is different hehe!)
After the accident I started having trouble with different things. I can't remember things well, my mind gets jumbled, and I can't make my brain talk to my fingers well, so my classes are a struggle (they are online). Last semester I didn't do well at all, and I think a lot of it was because I can't get things out the way I want them. I am getting mixed up all the time. For example, I'll want to say, "Go put that on the table" but instead I'll say, "Go put that in the bathroom". It makes no sense, and the girls laugh at me, but it's frustrating! And I've always had to put things into my phone calendar so I can keep up with all of our activities. But these days, if it isn't in my phone, I don't remember it at all!
My neurologist and my general practitioner both say that it's from the headaches and the lack of sleep. But since I've started my new medicine (almost a month ago) I have been sleeping well. And as long as I take the medicine as prescribed, I don't have headaches as bad.
I don't konw what to do about it. I feel, well just overwhelmed and frustrated. I feel like none of it should be a big deal. The car accident I was in wasn't a terrible one, I guess. So why is my brain so weird now!?!
I have faith it'll work itself out! My God is an awesome God, and I know I'll be taken care of!
Until next time....
