Walgreens

I'm just getting started with Walgreens. This deal was a great one if your just getting started too. Jacob REALLY wanted to help set up "daddy's medicine" for the picture.

The 3 Robitussin were a Money Maker of $7. Click HERE for more info. The airborne was buy 2 get one FREE & I had coupons. Click HERE for a sample and to Print the $2 coupon I used for the deal! Thanks to Deal Seeking Mom for the Walgreens Deals.

Stater Bros

$5 + tax

Sorry No Picture - frozen stuff, lots to unload, napping kids, blah blah blah. You get the picture.

The promo this week is buy 10 participating items get $5 off your purchase. I stacked that offer with manuf. coupons and ended up getting 8 bags of Green Giant Steamers for .50ea and 2 boxes of Cake mix for .50ea. (Heath's Birthday cake...Sunday 9/14 he's turning 30!)

Target: My target had Circo Infant/Toddler Socks single pack for $.34 - That's a good deal right? It was 70% off. They were on clearance because the have a new look to the Circo logo. Hmm...Maybe we should keep an eye out for the old Circo stuff going on clearance for SUPER cheap.

That's all for now. Happy shopping! Find any good deals or coupons?

Mmmmm. Homemade Marshmallows

Didn't know you could make marshmallows.

Don't they look yummy. I can't wait to try them! Check out this recipe. Here.
Thanks to Handprints on the Wall

Goals This Week

I have some goals this week. If I say them out loud (post them) then maybe I'll actually work on them...

1) Cook dinner 4 nights. Heath cooks every night (no, seriously)
2) Take more pics of Lexi.
3) Take Jacob to the park 4 times. He needs the outlet.
4) Clean out the fridge.
5) Organize my desk.

Goal Update!
Monday 9/8: I'm thinking about dinner...but that's all I'm doing with that. I took 4 pictures of Lexi today with my cell phone camera - the only issue is I can't find the mini SD thing to get it onto my computer. Hmmm. I did cart my camera everywhere we went - but didn't pull it out. Silly me. OK - entertainment for Jacob - no park today but I got him a little puzzle thing (Target $1 section), popcorn, and water and he played in the food court at Target. Sounds crazy but he loved it! Also he had a little 30 minute playdate with his buddy Toby this morning. I'm going to count that as his "outlet" for his energy today. We also did LOTS of shopping. This morning I went to Walmart @ 5am (I'm a morning person AND I wanted to go before Heath left for work at 6:30), Target @ 10am, Stater Brothers @ 12noon. Now the kiddos are taking a nap----time to work on the rest of my list? Na. Maybe we'll clean out the fridge for FHE. lol. Probably not.
Monday Night...Heath not home yet (8:10pm ) I made dinner for myself. Does that count?

Deal ends Tuesday Night 9/9. Send me a comment if you have questions! Julie.M.Avery@gmail.com

Printing Online Coupons

PRINT IN BLACK AND WHITE

Tip: Sometimes the coupons print automatically without giving you the option to change the printer settings....so....to make sure I only print in Black&White I just removed my color cartridge. OR you could change the settings on the printer under the menu button (personally I don't know how) Sounds like work - but it also helps me to think before I print something in color, "Does this really NEED to be in color?"

ALL coupons that I've found print in color and have LOTS of it! Save yourself even more money by printing in Black&White. AND use cheap paper that you get for .97 at Walmart!

How to get these great deals at Walmart Every Time You Go!

These post-its are regularly priced at my Walmart for $1.24 ea. & sometimes on sale for $.97 ea.

That means that with the coupon it could be overage of $.52 or $1.06 !!!

What's overage? Overage means that you get that $ towards another product in the transaction.

Click Here for the post-it coupon. $3.00 of 2.

Exp 12/31/2008

The paper above is regularly priced at my Walmart for $3.97

You pay $.97 for the pack with the coupon - Yea!

Click Here for the Paper Coupon. $3 off 1.

Exp 12/31/2008

If you buy 1 pack of paper and 2 packs of post-its and use the two coupons above your bill will be less than a $1

Now That's a Great Deal!!

Thanks to The Centsible Sawyer - love her blog!

All this for $1.71

I used 11 coupons and got 11 items. The post-its and shout wipes were free + overage and the paper was .97

My next post will go into a little more detail. Not bad huh!?

But....while at Walmart my 2 year old (3 November12) was a handful today! He totally ditched me at the store and gave me a heart attack! I RAN through ALL the clothes departments yelling his name hoping and praying that he would stop and come find me. About every 30 seconds I would see him jet past a clothes rack laughing. I was absolutely NOT laughing. I must have been quite a sight with my 7 month old hanging on for dear life in the cart while we sped around the store. Needless to say my boy and I had a chat and we left the store immediately - stopping very quickly at the checkout. I had full intentions to just walk out without my items if he couldn't handle the line. Not every trip is like this but man...if this EVER happens again I'm going to be LITERALLY a STAY at Home and NEVER leave my house EVER AGAIN MOM. Ugh. Too much energy today. My fault, I should have known.

Note: I called my mom to vent a little and she told me that my brother Stephan I and were totally like my boy Jacob only worse. Lol. I can't even imagine.

I still love shopping for deals.

Next Post----how to get these great deals EVERY TIME you go to Walmart (while the coupons last :)

This is embarrassing...I AM A TWILIGHT FAN.

If you read the twilight series you cannot miss this!

If you look at Stephanie Meyer's Website then you'll see a post that has a partial draft of the book Midnight Sun.

So sad...her post says that she won't be publishing the book. You can read why here. So sad.

But the Draft is AMAZING! Its 264 pages from Edward's perspective. My heart was racing the whole time. Oh goodness.

Hey - the movie is coming out a month early - for those that haven't heard. It comes out 11.12.08. Yea!
