My hubby and I are going to get to go on a mini vacation which we never been on a vacation before.

I WON MY 1st BLOGGER AWARD

Okay Not sure of this one!

Okay I have posted about 4 or 5 posts and just realized that blogger did not post them or something went wrong..... hmm.. now thats pretty aggravating... so will post some of what you missed! lol

Question of the Day

Do you like Taco's? or prefer Taco Salad? I like either but prefer Taco Salad, I have learned that so many people make it differently. That is what is for dinner tonight so it made me think.... plus I have been so deeply saddened by poor sales ads lately that my coupon book is feeling a lil deprived from lack of use! Ha! :D Hope everyone had a great weekend. I prolly wont be on much this week due to taking my boys to Vacation Bible School, its their first time to go and today they loved it!
Hugs!

Great Deal at Brookshire Brothers on Kelloggs cereal!

Here in my small town outside of Houston we have a Brookshire Brothers grocery store, which is normally pretty high on prices and I dont shop their much, but this week they have their Kelloggs cereal on 4/$5 , use the $1.00/1 q making them .25cents a box! This is the cheapest I have EVER seen cereal! I bought 20q's off of ebay for $2.00 that should be here soon! I went and bought 6 the other day and will go get the rest when my q's come in! :D Great deal!

Friday Question of the Day

Todays question is , on a budget of $20 or less what is a good Father's Day present? I am having a mug made with a picture of the boys on it and it says The greastest gift God ever gave me was my Daddy! Its really cute and since he Loves to drink coffee it will be perfect! (even tho I will have to have another one made later for the new baby on its way)! :D The mug was $11 with tax and by the time I buy Father's Day cards I will be close to $20.

NEW Question of the Day

I would like to start something new and tho I may not get to do it everyday I am going to try! :D It is going to be a Question of the Day and I want to see what kind of great ideas other people may have about things! So here we go, Todays Question is: Do you eat cucumbers and if you do do you eat them raw?? How do you fix or cook them (besides making pickles)?? ( I know that was 2 questions) lol! Would love to hear great feedback from everyone! :D

Need a Baby Gift?? Or Cheapo Diapers??

Do you need a baby gift? Or cheap diapers?? CVS has Pampers on sale this week for 8.99 a pack get $5 ECB's! Use the 1.00/1q in this past Sundays P&G insert and end up paying $2.99 a pack after ECB's!! There is a limit of 3 per card so potentially you could get $15 in ECB's and have a great baby gift or use for your own children. Everybody needs diapers who has lil ones! :P

Country Time Lemonade!

I had to run to Kroger yesterday to pick up a few items, anyhow one of the items on my list was the Country Time Lemonade, which I know must everybody has prolly heard about the deal well anyhow they are on sale for $1.00 a canister, then there is a $1.50/2 printable. Making it .50cents for 2 and then it is giving back a $1 cat on 2. So basically a MM. Well, while I was at Kroger I ran across these coupons book on some coffee, so I started flipping thru the coupon book and found a coupon for $1.00/1 q for Country Time Lemonade, making it Free, plus getting the $1 cat off 2, yes I went crazy! lol Anyhow thought this was a great deal if you can find any of the coupon books, my Kroger had Bunches of them and no I did not take them all!!!

I know that this is happening at Sonics around the Houston area but not sure how far out it goes, so you might want to check your local Sonic to see if and when you can score your Free Root Beer Float! Yumm Yumm! My boys will be excited for sure! :D

CVS Deal

Thanks to this child growing in my belly I have not been shopping at all lately. I have been so sick with this lil one, it better be a girl is all I can say! lol Should find out in a few weeks and will let everyone know.
But, Thanks to my Sis n law telling me about a deal at CVS I had to pick up a prescription anyways and checked it out. The deal is if you buy any two Neutrogena products you get $10 ECB's, so they have a trial size 1oz Neutrogena Ultra Sheer SPF 55 for 1.99 I didnt know if I was going to be able to find them b/c CVS was asked to pull them off the shelf, well you pay 3.98 and get $10ECB's that was a great deal for me! My store did have them, too bad it was a limit to 1 per card but I have 2 cards, mine and my hubbys and since I no longer work for them, I dont have to worry about getting in trouble for using both! lol
Thanks Alecia for this great deal!

Will be making a trip to Kroger this week they have some awesome stuff on sale! :D

Great Weekend

Just wishing everyone a great weekend! Its been so Hot here I am ready to go swimming or to the beach! haha!

CVS Trip this week

Jack my 2 year old was in need of some pullups and CVS has them on sale this week for 8.99. He is potty trained but I put him in pullups at night in case of accidents which he has really improved in at night! YAY! Anyhow,
Here is what I did .....
You know the glucose meters I was telling about at Wags that are giving back the $5 in RR, well CVS has the same deal this week with $5 in ECB's.
So, 1st Transaction:
1 Bayer Glucose meter Free with $5 ECB
1 Bayer dissolving cystal aspirin 2.00-1.50IPq=50cents with $2 ECB
Total: 57cents and $7 in ECB's

2nd Transaction:
1 Nivea Sun Kissed Beautiful Legs Lotion 8.99
1 Nivea body wash 6.99 but Free with q if you buy the lotion listed above
Total: $9.74 used 7 ECB's earned above and had 1.00ECB from before that i had not used.
Total oop: $1.74 got $5 ECB from the Nivea

3rd Transaction:
1 Pullups $8.99 used $5.00q = $3.99
6 Mailer envelopes on clearance $2.00
Total: $ 5.99 -$5ECB from Nivea = .99cents

Total oop for all 3 transactions: $3.30 ! :D pretty exciting if you ask me! lol

Walgreens Runs!

I have not been shopping much at all lately. My schedule has been well beyond busy and being sick, having my house swarmed by bees inside and out and all the above. But I wanted to tell on some trips I have been making to Wags! First off the Bayer Glucometer Meter is on sale thru 5/31 for 14.99 and the you get $5.00 in RR . Well, if you can find the meter lol use the coupon for up to $30.00/1 and its free adn you get $5.00. Well I took my 5.00 RR last week and did this 3 times bought the Colgate that gave back RR to make it free which was 3.49 and used .75/1 q for it, then I bought Bayer dissovling aspirin(new item) that was 2.49 and get 2.49 back in RR and then they had 1.00/1 coupons sitting on the display for it bought a .32cent filler, paid with my $5 RR and 9 cents oop and got 7.00 back. So basically I was turning my $5 in RR to $7.00 for 9cents! I can do that! :P
I have ended up with 5 meters but most stores are out of stock and I have no clue when they will get back in, the only up side is that they are on until the end of May!
Hope everyone has a good week!

Happy Mother's Day

I just wanted to write and say I hope that everyone had a Happy Mother's Day! I know I did! :D
