I had a couple of surprises this morning at Walgreens that changed my scenarios around. I found $1 peelies on the Complete Solution and also my store (323 and 110 in Tyler) had several items when you first come in the door priced for $.02! I bought two mini carabiner clips to use around the house for cheaper fillers than the pencils. In hindsight I should have bought the pencils for the school supply drives, but oh well, I can {Read More}
$2 may not seem like much

I spent less than $2 to purchase these 5 items at Walmart this week. Retail value: $7.89. When I save an average of $6 each week on products that my family can use, that adds up to a surprising $312! That’s some nice cash for Christmas shopping! Put that into a high interest account to make it even more. But remember if you were working an extra job to earn that Christmas money, you would actually have to make $446 {Read More}

Don’t forget to sign up for Swagbucks to earn free money when you do web searches. I have earned $1.17 in the last week alone, just for doing the web searches I would typically do. No extra effort required! Fridays are special Mega SwagBucks days. This means that you have a better chance of winning on a search, and a better chance of winning big (100 sb, 500 sb, 1000 sb) When I first heard about Swagbucks I was cringing {Read More}

There aren’t any fabulous deals for next week at CVS, but here are some decent deals if it’s something you need. If it’s a product you use and it’s on sale for a good price, you should buy a few so that you aren’t paying full price for them when you run out. If you plan to purchase any of these, you want to use any ECBs you currently have to bring your OOP as low as possible. I recommend {Read More}

Hurry before it’s all gone, because today is the day for 75% off toys at Target. The toys that have been marked 30%-50% this month have mostly hit 75% off. I checked the Tyler Target this morning and scored several really good deals. I’ll be going back this evening to pick up a few more things as they were still marking things down and the baby began to get restless. So far I picked up over $200 worth of toys {Read More}

You can save 10, 20, even 100’s of dollars off your household budget each year by shopping at CVS. Just because this is a drugstore doesn’t mean everything is more expensive than Wal-Mart or Target. By watching the sales ad you can save quite a bit with very little effort. At least half of my shopping at CVS yields me free products or better than free products. First, to get advertised deals you need to sign up for an ExtraCare {Read More}

I would really love to do one of the big freezer cooking days. But I have to remind myself that our small apartment freezer looks like this: Sooooo until DD drinks her way through the milk supply, we continue to do our simplified but effective version of freezer cooking: We often make much more than we can eat in a single meal and freeze the rest in meal size ziplock bags or containers. While the door of my freezer does {Read More}

This week’s cash earning tip is Ipsos-Say. This site is a survey site only. They only send me e-mails for the surveys that match my profile. Cash out level is 500 points, which is $5.00 and it takes about 6 or 7 completed surveys to reach this. You can earn an easy $10 a month. Most of the surveys I take are advertising surveys. I may get to review a movie trailer or several commercials for new products. I’ve even review magazines! I {Read More}
