The Coupon Junkie*

Right now Old Navy is having a sale on Clearance!! Clearance is a additional 50% off lowest marked prices!!! You can also use any coupons you have from Old Navy Weekly to make your savings that much sweeter!! Tonight i got $268 worth of clothes for the kids. I saved $222.00 and spent oop $45.94!!! [My Receipt] [The LOOT]

I needed a dress or something dressy for my cousins wedding this Sunday. So i thought i'd try Kohls seeing as i havent been having much luck anywhere else. Well i found a cute dress that was orig. $60 down to $35, pair of shorts on sale from $40.00 down to $21 [i know thats still pretty expensive but when it comes to clothes for me, if they fit good i have to get them, i have a real hard time finding things i like...grrr!]. Then i found 2 shirts for kait that she really liked as well, a Fila Shirt for $4.80 and a Nike Shirt for $3.60! I also found a nice white sweater for me for next fall/winter Orig. $60.00!!! Got it for $6.50!!! Not bad! Spent $71. coulda been worse i guess. But i got everything i needed and the kids were super good, and we all had fun doing it!!! So if you have a Kohls around you, you should go check your store out!! There were 60% off racks to 80% off racks!!

Since we heard about it we've been contemplating getting it main thing holding me back was the fact that its $59.99 [cheaper than Wii Fit, but still]. Well today was the deal breaking... we got an advertisement from Game Stop that said if you brought in 3 Select Games you got $59.99 towards Wii Active!!! I figured we probably wouldn't have any of the games on the list, but when Dave pulled up the list it was pretty long, and we did have 3 of the games!! So we went in and got the last one @ our Game Stop. We DID have to pay tax tho, which was $3.00!! Not bad at all!! We both have already used it and WOW!! Its a great work out! Im def. feeling it and i was def. sweating my butt off!!! I highly recommend it!!!

When Brae was 3 months old we decided we wanted to get him some sort of Jumper. We looked at the Rain Forest one and were actually planning to buy it [full price uhg $89ish]. Well Target and Walmart were out of stock so we went to Once Upon a Child [its a kids hand me down store if you dont have one around you]. They had a Jumperoo rite out in the front! $25! I was still kinda iffy about it, Cause Kait never liked anything like that when she was his age, but soon as we got him home he seemed to like it!! Well now he is almost 7 months old and LOVES the thing! We swear one day he is going to jump right out of it! But im so glad i didnt go buy the $89 jumper...this one is just as good!!

you NEEEEEED to train every single one of your team members the same exact way, with the same exact rules!!!! I was told the other day that you are absolutely not allowed to use a coupon that is of higher value than the item you are buying *LIE*... the truth to that is that they have to adjust the coupon, which i knew but i still verified by calling corp. The very nice lady i talked to on the phone said she would be calling to inform the store that, that is what you do w/coupons! Well we go back today and the lady at customer service told me the coupon wasnt working cause the coupon was worth more...i told her she needed to adjust the Q. She said "Oh Okay" and did it! So i pretty much told a person that works at the service desk what to do? what is wrong w/that picture? I absoloutley LOVE target but man come on is it really that hard to train everyone with the same information? I dont want to have to explain to every cashier how to use a coupon everytime i go... Sorry just n...

I got a mailer from Similac today...it had some websites listed that i had never heard of. Here they are if you want to check them out=) coolmompicks.com theeverydaymom.com/cool-products hipbabygear.com/accessories/forbaby_accessories.htm I havent really had time to look at them, so let me know if you see anything good!

Dave bought a soda to use the .14 *** Heres a picture of my cereal stockpile!!

FINALLY!!! it has come down! for the longest time we couldnt get it under $97! We got this months bill yesterday and it was $79!! I was psyched! SHAWS* This week is our off week for grocery's, but i WILL go to Shaws to do the Hillshire Farm/coke deal! Dave always needs drinks for work, so this works! Buy 5/$12 12 packs get 2 Hillshire Farms Deli Meats 8oz or larger FREE! To make that deal even better i have 5 $1.00 Q's for coke 12 packs! So ill pay $7 for everything! SCORE! Dave will be ALL set with drinks for a while. **just wanted to throw this out there... i went to Old Navy yesterday looking for a shirt, i was looking in the clearance section and found a black overcoat that i will need for wedding season this fall/winter. This jacket was $5.00!!! The last clearance price was $20.00, but the original tag was missing...id love to know how much the jacket was to begin with!!

Dave and I have gotten big into trying NEW recipes! Today we had Tequila Chicken on the Grill! We marinated it for 2 days, only cause i forgot we would be eating dinner at my parents house for mothers day, so i think that extra day of it sitting in the marinade made it that much better!!! Here is how we made the marinade! SOOO GOOD!! 1/3 cup lime juice 1/2 cup tequilla 1 TBSP sugar 1/2 Tsp 1 package of taco seasoning package by McCormick whisk together with 1/3 cup vegetable oil and put it on the chicken to marinate over night. a dash of Cayenne powder in it too. I dipped my chicken in hickory smoked BBQ sauce!!

Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms out there=) Hope you all enjoy your day!!

Don't forget to donate some non perishable items to your letter carrier to help our people that use your local food shelter! This is my first time donating anything from my stockpile...it feels nice to be able to do it! This is the bag i filled:

Ive been debating going to staples to get the label maker that is on sale this week. You pay $19.99 and get a rebate for $19.99!! Well today the deal breaker came in the mail! Last month i turned in a bunch of ink cartridges [you get $3.00 a piece back when you return them to staples] ,so today in the mail i got $18.00 from my staples rewards!! So i ran to staples and spent $2.00 to get a $20 item, and ill get $19.99 back! woo hoo!

This is a comment i got on my CVS Return Question Blog... Since when is returning things you don't want a scam? Please someone tell me!!! ahha! Just cause the girl gave me back more than she should have isn't my fault! Anonymous said... by SCAMMING CVS or any store you are forcing the prices up for everyone. CVS doesn't care if you want to be scummy and return ECB items. We all pay!

im going to go to CVS in a few... im going to get the Kelloggs Cereal that is 3/$10. I have 3 $1 Kellogg Mini Wheat Q's [thats my fav cereal so that works=)] Then i will use $5 ECBs and $2 off a CVS money card! $0.00 oop!
