I wish everyone could have been driving down New Copeland Rd. the other night as we were on our way out to eat (treat from my Mom who is visiting). DH hits the brakes and says “Oh man, we have to turn around” . I’m racking my brain trying to think what I’ve forgotten (it’s usually me that goes back into the house a couple of times before we can finally leave). The conversation continues…. “Wha’d we forget?” “Nothing, there’s {Read More}

We all get busy and I abhor driving all over town to catch a good deal. So, most times I won’t, yet still get the sale price. If there are just a couple of items on sale from a particular store I will take the ad with me to Walmart or Target to price match. If there are several items on sale that I want I will usually go ahead to the store that has the sale so that I {Read More}
Tonight We Are Thankful for Healthy Eyes

Both of our kids had appointments with the ophthalmologist this morning. We spent 3 hours in the office but returned home feeling victorious. DS’ eyes show no signs of elevated pressures and DD remains completely glaucoma free. She does still have blocked tear ducts and consequently has an eye infection, but this is completely normal for babies her age. While DS was apprehensive about his Dr. visit this morning, he responded very well and was generally a happy patient. He {Read More}

An excellent way to stretch your money is to hunt for gift card promotions. There are several different types of promotions I have seen: We are often able to get our prescriptions for FREE by using the Qs for gift cards when you fill a new prescription or transfer a prescription. They are found in the weekly sale ads or are promotions found online at drugstore websites. I always tear these out, as you never know when you might need {Read More}
This Week’s Dinners 9/13 Average Cost $4.65

My goal is to provide dinner for my family (2 adults and one toddler eating) for an average of $5 except on special occasions. We don’t have to eat beans and rice to accomplish this goal! We typically only cook a main dish 4 or 5 times a week, so each main dish cooked will be for 4-6 servings, and there will be leftover servings for lunches, dinners on the weekend, or to freeze for another week. This cuts down {Read More}

I stumbled across a great price on Cokes tonight @ CVS. I was sitting at the dinner table trying to find $10 worth of grocery items that would be worth getting so that I could use my $3/$10 Q from the coupon scanner. DH asks if there are any good sales on cokes coming up soon. My mother who is visiting, pointed out that they were on sale this week 4/$10 after ECBs. So here’s how it worked out: 4- {Read More}
