Operation Stockpile clean up!
Last night we cleaned out the cupboard. It had become very disorganzied, and it bugged me.
I started with a bankers box that Brooke had brought me (generously filled with food). The food went into the cupboard and the empty box serve as the collection box for the food bank.
We have an amazing amount of soup! And pasta/rice. I moved the cereal down from the top shelf (I have a hard time reaching it), and put the extra condiments up there, since we don't use them as frequently. All of the tomato products are on one shelf together, along the broth and other making "stuff". I tried to group everything together and make it easier to find.
I didn't take any before pics (Trust me- it's pretty embarrassing!), but here are some afters. Our stockpile is on the bare side. We haven't been on a major shopping trip in a couple month. I usually go to the store once a week for milk and veggies, and I cruise the markdown meat section and pick up roasts and ground beef. I buy chicken breasts and cheese at Costco once a month or so.
[gallery]
Th first three photos are the inside of my newly re-organized cupboard, the 4 photo is the box of food that will be donated to the food bank. The last photo is my awesomely stocked freezer. Most of the frozen food came from 99 cents only!
Now my cupboard and freezer are a lot more organized, which will help me plan the menu for this week and next.

Making a list and checkin' it.. more than twice
The holiday gift list has been made, and it's been trimmed because of finances. I typically buy gifts all year for various family members and keep them in my gift "closet". It's not really a closet- since out apartment is pretty small, storage is at a premium, so I have to get creative. My "closet" is a 3 drawer white plastic Sterilite storage set (with the wheels removed!).
I can't take pics of what's inside each drawer- since some of my readers are on my gift list, but I carry my shopping list of gift recipients with me and when I see a perfect present for them throughout the year, I pick it up and put it away. By October, I am usually done shopping.
This year, sadly, I haven't been as good about it, or maybe I just couldn't find some awesome deals. I do however have the gift for our work holiday party- thank goodness for after Christmas sales! (We have to bring 1 holiday themed gift)
I'll be using Mypoints points for Holiday gift cards, as well as the cash I make from Synovate and Pincone Research surveys, as well as the awesome $10/$10 coupons JCP mails out (we should probably get 1 or 2 before the holidays) to fill in the rest of the gifts that we need to buy.
How do you budget for the holidays?

Otrib.com
Here is an interesting thought... What happens to your facebook page when you pass on?
Otrib provides a service that lets you name an heir to your Facebook account and specify its handling after you die.
Otrib also provides other tools to those who are greiving. The ability to write Death notices and obituaries, funeral home ratings. They also have a lot of articles about end of life and various aspects of the funeral business (like what happens if you die in a foreign country).
It is a FREE community, and they also offer a facebook app (app.otrib.com)
I found out about Otrib because I am a bzzagent. Bzzagent.com is a word of mouth marketing company. Bzzagents (like ME!) share information, samples and our opinions on products and services (it's called spreading the bzz!). If you'd like to learn more about becoming a Bzzagent yourself or checking out what Bzzzagent has to offer, check out their website.

IRL
For those of you who know me IRL (in real life) know that DH lost his job on 9/24/10. That is one of the reasons that my posting has been less frequent. Also, we are expecting a baby (we call it "the Cub" b/c we don't know the gender yet) in March.
Things are starting to stabilize, so I should be back to posting more often.
I am on Twitter daily, so you can always check out what I'm tweeting and re-tweeting (usually freebies and awesome deals).
Remember, when I get to 200 Twitter followers, I'll be holding another give away.
In other news, I've been working on my couponing/frugal living book. One of the sections I want to include is a list of silly/funny/crazy things you do to save money (squeezing ketchup packets in to the empty bottle, stuff like that). I'm giving away a 20 coupon potluck to each person who contributes, and you'll receive an attribution in my book (or you can remain anon.). You can post a comment or email me your contributions.

Getting hitched on the cheap!
Mr. Coupondiva and I have been married for a few years, but I thought I'd write about ways to have a frugal (not cheap) but Elegant wedding. Remember, for some people who may be involved in your big day, "Cheap" has a negative connotation, whereas frugal, does not.
Location: This can eat up a huge portion if the budget. If you are a church goer, check to see if your church offers a discount to members. If you are not religious, or if the fee for your church is out of your budget, check out the parks and rec. in your Area. San Diego County Parks and Rec. has many great, inexpensive sites.
Who's going to marry you? If you do not have a judge, religious leader, or other ordained person available, check with the county assessor/recorder/clerks office who issues marriage license, to see if a marriage comissioner for a day is available. That way, anyone of your choosing can marry you. That's what we did.
Food and cake:If your budget is very small, skip the sit down fancy dinner. If your site allows you to bring in your own food, consider hitting up Costco, Vons, and Albertsons. They all have great service deli trays (cheese, meat, fruit, sandwiches)- they all take custom orders which would make a great spread for the post wedding shindig.
Skip the booze- Most sites tack on a crazy charge for serving booze and really, any kind of decent booze is going to eat up a good portion of your budget. Sparkling cider is pretty inexpensive at Costco or Smart and Final- You can get 4 glasses per bottle, maybe more if you are easy on the pour (for the toast).
If you or someone you know has a Costco membership, they have excellent sheet cakes that are pretty inexpensive and would serve 20-30, if you cut them to the approx. size of a piece of average wedding cake (2x2 in. approx).
Paper plates, disposable champagne glasses and napkins, as well as silverware can all be purchased in a myriad of colors from 99 cent or dollar stores. Check party supply stores, Costco, or Smart & Final for the best price (Sometimes they can be cheaper than 99 cent or dollar stores if you need to buy in bulk).
Flowers: Check wholesale flower shops or local floral shops for plain flowers. You can save a lot by making you own arrangements, bouquets and boutenierres. I got all of the flowers for my wedding at Dave flower box in north park. I did 4 bunches of roses (they are buy 1, get 1 free) and some greens for my flowers, the attendants and the table decor, and it was less than $40.00. We had to make the bouquets, but there are really easy to follow directions online. Just google "making a bountinerre".
If you want to do favors, skip Michaels. It's overpriced, even with coupons. Check out Oriental Trading Co.. Check out retailmenot.com beforehand to check for online coupon codes for free shipping of $$ off your order. They have GREAT cheap favors.
Your dress and his tux: Check out bridal dress shop sales. Check out JC Penney's website (They have nice, simple dresses). Check out Craigslist too. Think outside the box for your dress.
Tuxes: Mens Warehouse has a great deal on rentals: Rent 4 and the grooms tux is free!
Misc.: If your site doesn't come with tables, chairs and table clothes, consider asking friends and family to loan you their folding tables and folding chairs. Buy fabric at discount stores (wal-mart) to use as tablecloths.
Don't be afraid to ask for help! People love weddings and don't mind helping!

Meal planning
I'm working on meal planning for the next few weeks- for us that means going through the cupboard stockpile to see what's available, and then filling in the few missing ingredients needed with items that are on sale or free with coupons at the market. Meal planning is a very easy, sensible way to save money. If you have a meal plan set up, then you are less likely to go out for dinner. If you do most of the prep work before hand, it will simplify the dinner making process.
Tonight we're having pot roast, veggies, salad and baked potatoes for dinner. Here is how the rest of the week is shaping up.
Sunday:
Breakfast: Fritatta
Lunch: sushi from Fresh and Easy
Dinner: I'm taking the leftover chili and making chili mac (add some cooked macaroni, heat yup the chili, mix together, top with cheese!)
Monday:
Breakfast: Bagels, juice and coffee
Lunch: Frozen lunches (I have a stockpile of Lean Cuisines)
Dinner: Chicken Tetrazinni with Broccolli and salad
Tuesday:
Breakfast: Bagels, juice and coffee
Lunch: Frozen lunches or leftovers
Dinner: Soup and Quesadillas
Wednesday:
Breakfast: Bagels, juice and coffee
Lunch: Frozen lunches
Dinner: Whole wheat pancakes, sausage and fruit salad
Thursday
Breakfast: Bagels, juice and coffee
Lunch: Frozen lunches
Dinner:Veggie enchiladas, refried beans, salad
Friday:
Breakfast: Bagels, juice and coffee
Lunch: Frozen lunches
Dinner: Leftover night!
Saturday:
Breakfast: Bagels, juice and coffee
Lunch: Frozen lunches
Dinner: Potluck with friends (maybe) or stir fry with quinoa and fruit

Wowza!
Henry's wellness faire, full of yummy food, and loaded down with samples!

Most of the samples are for skin care products- which is great! I love natural and botanically based skin care lines.
I ate a lot of really yummy food: Ice Cream, a sandwich, roast beef, lots of great beverages!
It was def. worth the $10 admission. I also received a free Re-usable cloth Henry's grocery bag and a stack of coupons for free Henry's products- including cow's milk, soy milk, frozen fruit, frozen vegetables and garlic bread!

Bzzagent- share cool stuff with friend and family!
For my followers on Twitter, you may see me use the hash tag #imabzzagent in a post that can seem like an advert, often times with a website link or printable coupon link.
Bzzagent is a word of mouth marketing program. Companies offer their products to bzzagent, who offers it to those who participate in the bzzagent program (called Agents). Agents try the products and "share the buzz" by posting on their blogs, Twitter, Facebook, or sharing their experiences and opinions about the products with friends, family and co-workers in person.
