I have waited to post on how to shop at Walgreens, because word is they are changing their rewards system to something more similar to that of CVS. I had hoped that it would be expanded to everyone by now, but alas…. But, Walgreens has finally posted a corporate coupon policy on their website, found here. My thanks to refundcents.com and readers for encouraging corporate to finally produce such a document. I highly recommend that you print this and carry {Read More}

After our recent move to Tyler we’ve finally decided to reduce our book collection. We have about 2,000 books! After going through all the boxes we were only willing to part with about 600 books or so. (hey-it’s a start for us booklovers) We searched half.com and were stunned to see so many of our like new coffee table type books were only worth $0.75 at best! We’re talking nice books that originally retailed for $25+. Or course you know {Read More}

I never could either. I would scan my blogs every day, making note in my head of deals I wanted to go get. When it was time to sit down and make my list I had to go to each blog I frequent and do keyword searches to find the deals I remembered. The lost time almost made it not worth the effort. Here’s what I do now: I keep a word document called “shopping list” on my desktop. It’s {Read More}

This week’s money making tip is to use EBATES and other Cashback shopping sites when doing your online shopping. There are many such sites out there. I have mentioned InboxDollars and MyPoints before. Both of these sites have a shopping section where they will give you cashback for shopping through their site. EBATES is another one that I have used. They offer $5.00 for signing up and making your first purchase within 3 months (so wait to sign up until {Read More}

There were even $1/2 peelies on the boxes. OOP: $1.08 and receive back $2 RR. I have several $.75/1 {Read More}

This Week’s Dinners 8/23

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 5 or 6 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}
Oh No – Did He Really Just Do That??!!!

DS has been potty trained for several weeks now, but we left “his potty” in the kitchen for easy access. He takes care of everything himself, so I think nothing of it when he tells me “I’m going potty, Mama”. Evidently I was too caught in doing the dishes because he then he tells me “I poured my peepee out Mama”. I absentmindedly say “That’s great bud”, only to realize that not enough time passed between these two comments AND {Read More}
