Living better, spending less.
I went shopping out of town today and had such a nice time! I went with my couponing friend. It’s so funny because I spend something like $16 for everything I bought all day long (and Target overcharged me by at least $3.) Well, not counting lunch. I don’t have pictures because.. well, because I [...]
Last night was fun. I left the baby with her daddy for some evening shopping. I have been feeling neglectful of my shopping this week, so it was nice to play catch up. This is eight transactions in multiple stores, so don’t worry that I cleaned anyone out on body wash. Actually, I went shopping [...]
After Evelyn was born in May 2007, I desperately wanted to stay home with her. I had a daycare lined up, I had promised to come back to work after a long enough period of time that our HR department had to call the state department of personnel to find out if it was okay [...]
Rite Aid is the last of the three major drugstore chains, and they also enjoy giving their merchandise away. I think that the system at Rite-Aid is simpler than that at Walgreens or CVS, so it’s a good one for newbies to start with. I even have family members who do it! :) Rite [...]
There’s a semi-hidden deal at Walgreens this week which gives you free glucosamine!
Finest Glucosamine MSM, 180 caplets, is priced at $19.99. There’s a coupon in the weekly ad (page 11) for $20 off. The UPC is 3 11917 09140 2. I stopped in at a second Walgreens and bought three more after I saw [...]
I haven’t abandoned my blog! Our internet at home is out, and has been since Friday night. Very limited access today (camping with parents) and none tomorrow. Hopefully Thursday….or I may be forced to cry.
In other news, having fun here at the Kentucky Horse Park!
I had too much fun last week, with my husband on vacation, and not enough time left for blogging! It was great, but it’s also nice to get back to my quiet little daily routine, too.
We left here on Thursday to go spend the weekend with my parents. We didn’t really do much of a [...]
M is on vacation this week, and we finally drove up to the IKEA that opened last year in Cincinnati. If you didn’t know, my husband moved here from Sweden almost nine years ago, and since IKEA is an intensely Swedish sort of store, we have both been looking forward to going. It [...]
My mom and aunt came down to visit with us today, and we headed out for lunch and to do a little light shopping. My super-expensive lunch was actually free using a gift card purchased with Register Rewards during a particularly profitable week. :) (I usually only do Walgreens gift cards when I roll my [...]
I have a lot of glucose monitors, and it confuses people.
I think quite a lot of couponers have glucose monitors coming out of their ears, unless they actively choose not to purchase them for one reason or another. The thing about them is that they are so practical to purchase that it’s just hard to [...]
When I became a stay-at-home-mom, I promised I could save our family money by shopping sales and maybe even using a few coupons. I had no idea what I was getting into. These days, I am on a first-name basis with the cashiers at the local drugstores, I haven't paid for toothpaste or shampoo in over a year and I spend my free time here, helping others do the same. So please, make yourself at home while you learn how to save, and when to spend!
