Staying Healthy

Did you know, that the greatest increase in abdominal fat occurs between the ages of 20 and 29?

Did you know that 12% of Black women age 20 and over have diabetes?

Did you know that diabetes leaves Black women vulnerable to high cholesterol, and high blood pressure?

But this can change if you get up and exercise, and tweak what you eat. Get in at least 30 minutes of exercising. It can be cardio, dancing, weight lifting, or walking. Make smarter food choices. Eat fresh fruit instead of drinking fruit juices. Veggies ladies, veggies!!! Luv & Blessins!!"

Couponing

I've never really been a fan of extreme couponing, but just using the coupons of the products I use, yes. You won't catch me dumpster diving or anything like that. I realize that you have to pay close attention to the expiration dates, and fine print.

I want to learn how to really come out cheap on the products my family and I use daily. Do you have to go to several different stores to catch great deals with your coupons or what? I have plenty of Febreeze, Swiffer, Secret, Dawn, Always, and Tide Coupons. Is it best to stock up when I have several of the same product coupons with different savings?

Any way, I want to see how much I can save for the month of Aug. I'm going to schedule a household item shopping day on one of my days off from work. I will make a list of the items we need. I will only purchase the items I have coupons for. I will keep you posted on my coupon journey. If you have any suggestions for me please leave a comment. Luv & Blessins!!!
