*I do research on the following sites to obtain coupon matches, The Coupon Mom, Ebay, and Taylor Town Coupon Review. I also dig through my own coupons. Please note that different coupons are available in different areas. My local Kroger doubles coupons up to and including 50 cents. Be sure to check with your local Kroger for the coupon policy.
I get my Kroger ad through my local paper on Fridays as part of a special savings circular that is put out. Therefore, I have access to many of the upcoming deals prior to alot of other people.
Ways to benefit from this:
1) Pull out coupons to use early and be able to shop early on Sunday (helps especially with Mega 10 events).
2) Be able to purchase coupons (paying for person's time to cut them, not for the coupons themselves) from places such as ebay and Taylortown Coupon Review for items that you can get either free or almost free and have them arrive via mail before the end of the next week.
3) Check for the upcoming coupons in Sunday's paper through Taylortown Coupon Review to know whether or not it will be worth it to you to purchase more than paper.
4) Just knowing the scoop ahead of time!

Several Weeks Ago, I sent this message to Shortcuts.com to clarify what I found in this post, by MommySnacks.
Email sent...
"I have been receiving conflicting information on whether or not coupons from Shortcut.com can be combined with paper coupons.
There have been several instances when I have a paper coupon and have loaded an e-coupon on my shopping card. Because the e-coupon is reflective on the receipt I do not know if the e-coupon has been redeemed until I am handed the receipt (while I am trying desperately to keep my son's hands from touching everything around him: candy, cookies, lip balm, etc)
I have looked through the Terms of Use for this program and am still left unsure. I would like to do what is ethically correct and need some guidance.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!"
The Response From Shortcuts.com:
Hello Lori,
Thanks for contacting us. The instance in which you are referring to is known as STACKING. Currently, in some retail stores this can be achieved, however, the manufactures of the coupons are working to resolve this issue in the near future. Also, when stacking occurs all coupons can become obsolete in a transaction if the amount of the coupon exceeds a certain dollar off amount. We are working closely with our partners and our cpg partners to work towards resolution and clarity of this issue in the near future.
Thank You,
Shortcuts.com

A super-duper diaper deal - Updated
I was just recently made aware by my friend Carrie at MoneySavingMethods that e-coupons and paper coupons are not suppose to be used together. I sincerely had no idea! If you would like more information on the subject, please visit this post by Mommy Snacks
I am sure that by now you have heard of the $5 and $3 off Huggies coupons available here. If you haven't already printed them, hurry! I have been able to print them twice.
There is now a $1.50 off any package of Huggies Diapers on Shortcuts.com!
If you are new to Shortcuts, they are coupons that you add directly to your store customer reward card. When you purchase the product for the electronic coupon that you have loaded directly to your card, you get the savings taken immediately off at the register-no physical coupon required.
After reading this post by Mommy Snacks, I will purposefully be more careful when loading coupons to my card! I want to use the highest amount coupon available-in this case the $5 off a package of diapers. Once a coupon is loaded to your card, it will automatically come off and then that would be the only coupon you could use.
Through the night
Have you ever had a sickness that just won't leave your house? It creeps in and takes root under the floor boards and in the light fixtures. I've learned this crafty trick of germs you see. They like to hide in non-conspicuous places so that just when someone thinks that they are getting better, they can creep out of the wonderful hiding place and make you sick again!
That is what is happening in our house with my little 3 year old and my hubby. Sick. Sick, icky, hacky, coughy, runny, non-sleeping, achy, hot, feverish, greenish-goo, sleep early but not through the night sick.
And they are in a vicious circle. My daughters, thankfully, are not in this circle.
Last night was a wonderful experience...in the loosest of terms. First, my son who is feverish and hot has the wrong reaction to the cold medicine and is a live wire. He can't go to sleep.
"Mommy....I need a drink" Take him a sippy cup of water.
"Mommy....I need to blow my nose" Leave a pack of tissues in his bed.
"Mommy....can I throw the tissues in the floor?" Move trash can closer.
"Mommy....I need to potty" Seriously consider moving him to the bathroom to sleep.
"Mommy....I need medicine" Already given all I can...seriously my son loves medicine.
Finally he goes to sleep.
My youngest, 8 months, has taken an affection to sleeping in my bed at night. This is not something that I like or am even fond of. But, at mid-night something has to give so I put her in bed. Hubby is in that funny state that only a fever can bring on so she is only keeping me awake at this point (she sleeps in a pack-n-play in our room). I bring her to bed and all she wants is to touch my face. Hands, one on my nose, the other on my chin and she falls asleep. I move slightly because her little sharp nails are cutting into my nose and she stirs....
"Ma Ma Na Na..." she says before falling back asleep. After she is good and asleep, back to her own bed. I check the clock and it is now 12:30 a.m.-two hours after I get to bed. What do I do? Burst of energy, check emails and leave comments on a couple blogs.
To bed...to bed. Fifteen minutes later, my 3 year old is awake again. His crying wakes the baby and the whole saga starts again.
My plight? I have a sore toe. Something called fingernail clippers got to a sore spot on my toe nail and now the whole thing is bright red and incredibly painful.
Pray for me!
Anyway...what to do Wednesday?
How in the world do you disinfect your home to keep the creepy crud away? Any practical suggestions are more than welcome.

When all are sick...
For the last week by sweet husband has been home sick. My kids have been sick, I have been sick. Life is funny when everyone is sick. Things slow down. Grumpiness grows...as quickly as the germs.
One night, my sweet husband rolled over and took up too much space on my side. I knew that he felt miserable so I gave him permission to stay where he was. I did however, forbid him to breathe my way! I actually said "You can stay where you are but you have to breathe the other way." Very grumpily of course.
My little ones are so anxious to do something, anything. What do you do when you are sick and unable to move but you still have little ones (or older ones for that matter) that still want to play?
Any suggestions?

A call for help from a Mommy of a little boy!
Ok, this is a call out to all those Mommies out there of little boys. To all of those Mommies out there that have a son who confounds you everyday with the antics that they come up with. Is it really just "little boy-isms" that are demonstrated throughout the day or does your son really make you scratch your head?
My little son, the middle child, is three. Barely three. From the moment he wakes up at 5:45 in the morning, he is running. Running and getting into as much mischief as he can. But innocently-does that make sense?
He does weird things that my older daughter didn't and never does. He licks things. Lots of things. The bottom of his shoes and random glass window things (like the glass at the Y outside the swimming pool).
He carries around random objects with all the affection of a stuffed or otherwise beloved toy. Bags of unopened candy. Pennies. Marbles. Pop-tops. His sister's fingernail polish.
He makes me laugh. He makes me love him more everyday. He makes me thank God for his uniqueness everyday. He makes me want to pull my hair out in frustration sometimes but boy...oh boy...does he ever make me scratch my head!
Can anyone relate?

Tip On Tuesday - Damp jeans
I am usually behind on my laundry. Ok, who I am kidding? I am usually overwhelmed by laundry. Most mornings start by me grabbing a shirt to iron for my hubby and searching through the "clean" basket for matching socks, just so that he can get out the door.
Too often I throw in a load of laundry, knowing far too well that there is not enough time to wash, rinse, and dry before I have to scoot me and the kids out the door. I hate damp jeans but there have been many a day that I have scooted out the door with damp jeans on! I turn the heater on in the car and just hope that they will be dry by the time I reach my destination.
Does this ever happen to you?
Well, I have been redeemed on the wearing damp jeans. Yes, you heard me right, redeemed. Today while flipping channels to be able to watch something that wasn't animated while I ate my lunch, I ran across The Learning Channel. They had a little ditty on about "Uncommon Sense".
Their suggestion? Pull your jeans out of the dryer while still damp. This way the pants will dry on your body to give you the best fit!
So there is my tip for Tuesday! Throw those clothes in to wash and pull your jeans out of the dryer while still damp. Hold your head up high! You are just being fashionable!

A Moment In Time...
A moment in time is all that we have with our little ones. I am constantly amazed at how my little ones are growing up so quickly. So, on Monday's I plan on posting something that I have captured in "a moment in time". Something random, not fully long blog worthy, but worth sharing.
My oldest, Little Cheese, now six and a half was just a baby, last week it seems.
Now she is branching out on her own, learning to navigate within the boundaries that are set for her, helping to do chores around the house, and becoming a little lady.
She has always had manners...please, thank you, yes ma'am, no sir. But somewhere she has picked up a case of extra sass. Eye rolling to be exact. If it didn't infatuate me so much it might even be humorous. And the whining that I thought had seeped out her and dripped into her brother has returned. But she is a sweet one. My little Cheese. My oldest.
My son, Manny, three and a half, runs a mile a minute. From the moment he wakes up at 6:00 a.m. This is where his clock is set and it will not budge. Trust me, we've tried. For sanity, we've tried. He is very headstrong and has a sharp little wit. He likes pushing the limit of how close can I get to that before it becomes a "no".
Manners...well, we are working on them. He also does weird things like licking things. Little Cheese never did this. Several weeks ago Manny was found licking the bottom of his shoe during a car ride home because he said he didn't have anything else to do. Yep. Interesting.
My third baby, Goosie, eight months, is a wonder. Sweet, quiet, loving, still. If I have been gone from her for a couple of hours her greeting to me is to put her hands on my face and then put her forehead on mine. She just stays like this. Kinda like she is drinking me in. Kinda like she wants to make sure the connection is still there...kinda like she is refueling on love.
Now, I ramble. This was to be short and sweet. My mommy reflection of the week?
Goosie has her first freckle...on her back!
Does anyone else have a "moment" to share?

What do you do Wednesday - On Blog Ettiquete
Ok, so I need some advice. Although I am not "new" at blogging, I am still unsure of some of the etiquette that goes along with it. So...
What do you do when you leave a comment on someone's blog that has comment moderation enabled and your comment is never posted and this happens more than once on the same blog? Do you contact the person by email and say "what's up?" Do you just stop leaving comments and just visit? Do you stop visiting?
Now, just so you know, when I say that I have left a comment, it has not been rude, unkind, mean, malicious, or in any other way something that you would not want to have posted under your blog. Just simply a "...wow, I know what you mean," or "...that's too funny," or a thought or ponder on something that is said.

For a quick clean...
I am a messy cook. I usually have all of the kitchen cabinets open, more dishes spread around than I have counter space, and a pile of dishes in the sink that threaten to collapse and cause a even bigger mess.
But, I am a good cook (at least most of the time), I think.
Here is a trick that has come in very handy for me. I have a spray bottle that I have taken a floor cleaner, like Lysol concentrated, and have diluted it to the proper strength in it. When some wayward splatter of spaghetti sauce hits the floor, I grab my bottle, spray, and then wipe!
Whala! Instant clean...well, that is when I finally see the wayward spot in the floor.

Confessions about a sweet tooth...
This morning I had a sweet tooth. This happens on occasion, ok everyday. I open the refrigerator door to retrieve the milk for some good for you cereal.
There it is...the chocolate frosting that I opened last night simply to have a taste of chocolate. Yep, the craving was that bad. I looked at the frosting and had only a moments hesitation in grabbing the container.
I stood, refrigerator door slung open wide, having a morning dose of chocolate. With my finger! I didn't even have the courtesy to get a spoon! But it was good. Now on to the coffee!

What do you do Wednesday - On Homemade Baby Food
I have two children who no longer eat baby food. They have all of their chompers and insist on eating foods that do not look or feel like they are pureed. Unless it is yogurt or icecream that is. However, I do have a seven month old at home who has just started the baby food world.
With my two oldest I never thought or even tried to make homemade baby food. Why should I bother, I thought. Walmart and Kroger have such great selections and it really wasn't that expensive. Well, Walmart and Kroger still have great selections but I want to dive in to the world of making my own.
Why? I did it once and felt such a feeling of accomplishment. There was something special about knowing that I had made the food that she was eating.
My Problem? I have made apples and carrots.
Help...do you have any ideas on other things to make? I would appreciate any comments that you might have!

Kroger Coupons...did you get them?
Today I received coupons that Kroger randomly sends to me.
The great thing about these coupons?
They are specific to the items that I purchase on a regular basis and there is always at least one coupon for a free item.
What did I get?
FREE Nature Valley Granola Bar (1)
FREE Betty Crocker Cake Mix (1)
$1/10 Yoplait yogurt cups
75 cents/2 Betty Crocker Cake Mixes or Frostings
$2/1 Pert Plus Shampoo
$2/2 All Detergent
45 cents/1 Kroger Mini Carrots
$1/1 Pledge product
$1/2 Green Giant Frozen Veggies
$1/2 Jif Peanut butter
$1/4 Knorr Pasta or Rice sides
$1/2 Ragu Sauces
$1/1 Frechetta Pizza
$1/2 General Mills Cereal
How do I know that they are specific to the items that I buy the most often?
First, these are items that I buy in bulk at least once a month. Some items, like the carrots, are purchased weekly.
My friend Kim also received a set of coupons today. Her coupons are different than mine, but are for the items that she buys the most.
How do I get these coupons?
Well, I am not exactly sure. To the best of my knowledge, they are received because I created an online account with Kroger.com. I registered my card number (or alternate number with them) and have been receiving these coupons since.
What do they look like?
And, the coolest part? Most of them are Manufacturers Coupons which mean that they can be used at other stores!
Go, run, as fast as you can type...go to Kroger.com and register your card.

What do you do Wednesdays - Unconventional Toys
This is a new post that I will start doing on Wednesdays address some common everyday Mommy issues. Why? Because in this adventure of being a Mommy, there are so many things that just seem to big for me to tackle. I am always searching for new ways to look at things, try new ideas, or just get plain old good advice.
If you would like to join me, please post about the same problem/issue/helpful advice that is on topic for the day. Put a link to my blog inside that post (please be nice and tell where you got the idea and it will also allow others to come here and do the same). Then, come back here and leave a comment. I will then put a link to your blog inside my post. If you are not a blogger, leave a comment with your thoughts. I hope to have Mr. Linky up soon!
Today's Question:
What Unconventional Toys do you have for your Baby/Toddler?
As a mom of three, my house has more than it's fair share of toys. The favorite of my seven month old? A set of measuring spoons. Yep, an inexpensive set of plastic measuring spoons bring so much joy! They provide an interesting sound when shaken, are easy for her little hands to grasp and hold on to, and they are great for chewing on. And, they are so easy to clean, just toss in the dishwater each evening, unlike the cloth toys that contain rattles which can hold germs for a long time.
If you decide to treat your little one to a set of spoons, be sure to get plastic ones that are on a solid ring to hold them all together. Also, look for ones that might have texture and bright colors on them for an added bonus. My set have a little rubber section on them.

Using Coupons - a Coupon Co-op
I used to never use coupons. I used to think it was a waste of time. That is until I found The Grocery Game. This site opened my eyes to ways to save that I had never ever considered. I have been using this site for just over a year and my savings are amazing.
One of the most important helps that I have found in utilizing coupons and finding the best deals is to form a type of Coupon Co-op. I, along with two of my best friends, have entered this couponing world together.
Here are some things that we do:
1. We get alot of papers, and I mean alot! We each get at least six papers a week, which means at least six inserts a piece. How do we do this? We buy papers, we get papers (or at least the inserts) from people at church who don't use them, we get the inserts from relatives-my mother in law lives out of town but she clips the inserts and mails them to me.
It might seem like an overload of papers and alot of weeks it is. I am not a very organized person so it takes me awhile to get all of my inserts organized and clipped. But, once done, I am a mean couponing machine! I'll tell you how I organize them in a moment.
The benefit of alot of inserts might be obvious but I am going to state it again anyway. When a great deal comes available, we have more than one coupon for that item - we each have six. Stockpiling items that are non-perishable becomes an even bigger adventure. I have enough free toothpaste to last a year. Also, I purchased enough electrosol dishwashing tabs with the $2.25 coupon that was in an insert to last me at least 10 more months. My out of pocket expense was about 50 cents a box.
2. We share coupons. There are always coupons that one person loves to get while another person would never use it at all. With at least six inserts a piece, there are alot of unused coupons. Also, one of us might have a closet full of an item that has come up for a great sale and therefore they don't need thier coupon. Another one of us might have just run out of the same item and are looking to stockpile it.
3. We purchase coupons together (paying for the effort of the person who clipped and is mailing the coupons, not for the coupons themselves). We are able to purchase larger lots of coupons for the same item and in most cases, lower the shipping cost.
4. We share deals. If one of us are at a store and find a super duper deal, we let the others know.
Organizing our coupons
This is a large task. But it is so easily done. When we started out we had small expandable folders or a box with dividers in it. This worked for, um, a month or so. Then we each went to binders with baseball card holders. You know, the clear ones that you can purchase at almost any walmart or hobby store. They are the perfect size to slip coupons. Then, it is so easy to see each coupon that you have instead of having to flip through a bunch of coupons to find the one you need.
I have purchased notebook dividers, with subject tabs. This way my coupons are divided into sections to make it even easier. My dividers have pockets in them. As I use a coupon, I pull it out of it's holder and slip it into a pocket. This way, at the checkout, I know that I have all my coupons in one spot.
Also, as I walk through the store, I can pull the blinkies and stick them in another divider to be put away in the right spot. You might not need the blinky at the moment but you might be happy to have it in a week or two! You never know when they will come in handy.
It might seem like alot of effort, but in the end, it saves alot of money and trying to save alot is what it is all about!
One of the most important helps that I have found in utilizing coupons and finding the best deals is to form a type of Coupon Co-op. I, along with two of my best friends, have entered this couponing world together.
Here are some things that we do:
1. We get alot of papers, and I mean alot! We each get at least six papers a week, which means at least six inserts a piece. How do we do this? We buy papers, we get papers (or at least the inserts) from people at church who don't use them, we get the inserts from relatives-my mother in law lives out of town but she clips the inserts and mails them to me.
It might seem like an overload of papers and alot of weeks it is. I am not a very organized person so it takes me awhile to get all of my inserts organized and clipped. But, once done, I am a mean couponing machine! I'll tell you how I organize them in a moment.
The benefit of alot of inserts might be obvious but I am going to state it again anyway. When a great deal comes available, we have more than one coupon for that item - we each have six. Stockpiling items that are non-perishable becomes an even bigger adventure. I have enough free toothpaste to last a year. Also, I purchased enough electrosol dishwashing tabs with the $2.25 coupon that was in an insert to last me at least 10 more months. My out of pocket expense was about 50 cents a box.
2. We share coupons. There are always coupons that one person loves to get while another person would never use it at all. With at least six inserts a piece, there are alot of unused coupons. Also, one of us might have a closet full of an item that has come up for a great sale and therefore they don't need thier coupon. Another one of us might have just run out of the same item and are looking to stockpile it.
3. We purchase coupons together (paying for the effort of the person who clipped and is mailing the coupons, not for the coupons themselves). We are able to purchase larger lots of coupons for the same item and in most cases, lower the shipping cost.
4. We share deals. If one of us are at a store and find a super duper deal, we let the others know.

8 cents for Manwich Sauce at Kroger 02/01
Starting this Sunday, Kroger is have a special, much like the mega event of the last two weeks except this time it is $3 off any 10 participating items or 30 cents an item. In this post I listed a preview of the sales to be found this week.
Here is one that I missed:
Manwich Sloppy Joe Sauce will be 58 cents a can (after the additional 30 cent savings)
Coupon Available:
50 cents/2 = 16 cents for two or 8 cents a can
How I got that amount?
My Kroger doubles coupons face value up to and including 50 cents. Two cans of manwich totals $1.16 (with special savings) and then the 50 cent coupon doubles to $1.00.

Kroger Preview for week of 02/01
I get my Kroger ad through my local paper on Fridays as part of a special savings circular that is put out. Therefore, I have access to many of the upcoming deals prior to alot of other people.
Ways to benefit from this:
1) Pull out coupons to use early and be able to shop early on Sunday (helps especially with Mega 10 events).
2) Be able to purchase coupons (paying for person's time to cut them, not for the coupons themselves) from places such as ebay and Taylortown Coupon Review for items that you can get either free or almost free and have them arrive via mail before the end of the next week. For example, during the last mega 10 event, I was able to get 20 coupons for the green giant coupons mailed to me for $2. Because the sale and coupons made them free, I was able to get 20 bags of veggies for only $2 out of pocket.
3) Check for the upcoming coupons in Sunday's paper through Taylortown Coupon Review to know whether or not it will be worth it to you to purchase more than paper.
4) Just knowing the scoop ahead of time!

Swagbucks, I'm in love!
Have you heard about swagbucks? It powered by Google and rewards you for doing something everyone does-search for something on the internet. You are randomly given "bucks" to redeem for simply doing your regular searches using the Swagbuck search engine. The list of items that you can get using your bucks is constantly changing and amazing: baseball cards, autographed photos from bands, foot ball helmets, gift cards to Paypal, Amazon, movie tickets, etc....if you want it, it is probably there.
And it is kinda like winning the lottery because you never know when you will "win", and I swear it is addictive!
So far, I have won two Starbucks gift cards and have earned almost enough "bucks" for a third-and as wonderful as Starbucks is, it is so much sweeter when it is free! To get started, click the link that is in my sidebar or go here to Swagbucks!

"Don't Put That In Your Mouth!"
Have you ever visited Vocalpoint's website? If not, you should. It is full of useful tips and information for everyday living. Most recently I ran across an article on 10 things that women should never put in their mouths. It is very interesting and full of some things that you might never imagine!This is the complete list directly from Vocalpoint.
"You probably say this to your kids all the time, but are you following your own advice? We asked nutritionists, dentists, and even ER docs to come up with the very worst things a woman can sip, chew, or swallow."
Ice: It’s a crystal and so is tooth enamel. So when you bite down on a cube or chip, something has to crack.
A contact lens: Your saliva is swimming with bacteria, so if you clean or moisten contacts with it, you’re risking conjunctivitis.
A Red Savina habanero chile pepper: It’s the hottest pepper in the world, according to Guinness World Records—about 100 times hotter than a jalapeño.
Dried apricots: If you don’t chew these thoroughly, they can actually reconstitute in your stomach and block an intestine.
Prime rib: Despite its lean appearance, it’s the fattiest type of steak, typically 982 calories and 78 grams of fat per pound. That’s equivalent to almost two Big Macs.
A toothbrush with lots of paste: Some toothpaste flavors can be so overwhelming that they reduce brush time. Brushing with only a dab promotes better tartar control and gum health.
Aspirin: There’s an old home remedy that recommends letting an aspirin dissolve next to an aching tooth. Aspirin is an acid, though, so it can eat away at gum tissue, leaving what looks like a cigarette burn.
Liver: This used to be regarded as a nutritious food for women because of its high iron content, but not anymore. Because the liver is an organ that filters blood, all those chemicals and hormones fed to livestock nowadays collect there.
Margarita: Oh, no, say it ain’t so! Freeze two kinds of alcohol with lots of sugar and salt, and you have a concoction that’s bad for your heart, arteries, liver, blood sugar, energy level, and digestion. Plus, it promotes overeating (see next item).
Basket of tortilla chips: They may look innocuous (and they’re free!), but the typical fried serving has about 1,000 calories, of which nearly half are from fat. Order steamed tortillas and dip them instead.
Muffin: Don’t let the words “bran” or “whole-grain” fool you, muffin is just another word for cake.
Hair: If you twirl and bite yours, you could be at risk for developing a bezoar, or intestinal hair ball. Fibrous veggies and fruits, such as celery, potato skins, and pulpy oranges, can add to the problem.
Stuffed-crust pizza: If you eat enough of this, the inside of your arteries will start looking the same way.
Nothing at all: Women who skip meals have more of a tendency to gain weight than those who eat regularly. That’s because starving makes you more prone to impulse eating. Plus, it gives you bad breath.
Now, I am definitely not guilty of the last one. But my biggest culprit would probably be those tortilla chips. They are just so dog gone addictive!

What do you do Wednesday? On Temper Tantrums
This is a new post that I will start doing on Wednesdays address some common everyday Mommy issues. Why? Because in this adventure of being a Mommy, there are so many things that just seem to big for me to tackle. I am always searching for new ways to look at things, try new ideas, or just get plain old good advice.
If you would like to join me, please post about the same problem/issue/helpful advice that is on topic for the day. Put a link to my blog inside that post (please be nice and tell where you got the idea and it will also allow others to come here and do the same). Then, come back here and leave a comment. I will then put a link to your blog inside my post. If you are not a blogger, leave a comment with your thoughts. I hope to have Mr. Linky up soon!
Today's Question:
What advice do you have on trying to stop a temper tantrum before it starts?
Here's my thought:
If the tantrum comes because my baby has been told "no", I try to have a "yes" to offer first.
Ex: If my child is hungry and wants a sugary snack I might say "You may have an apple now and we will have ________ later. Alot of times my children lose it as soon as I say no. If that is not the first word out of my mouth, the tantrum doesn't come.
What do you do?

Kroger run!
I love when Kroger does their mega deals. They last for two weeks and the deals are usually really (and I mean really, really) good.
You can see some of the deals available here from last weeks post but I wanted to share with you today a whoo-hoo! I went to Kroger to get some things...milk, bread, butter, icecream, popcorn-you know the absolute essentials to make it through the week.
The mega event included Kraft shredded cheese which is regularly $3.99 on sale for $1.99. However, if you purchase any ten qualifying items, an additional $5.00 or 50 cents an item is taken off the total. This made the cheese $1.49 a bag. This in it's own right is a great deal. However, to sweeten the deal, there was a blinkie machine waiting patiently with coupons for 75 cents off a bag of cheese. This made the cheese 75 cents a bag! Whoo-hoo!
So what did I get in addition to the first items I mentioned?
5 bags of Chex Mix
15 Bags of frozen veggies
10 bags of Kraft Cheese
Eggs
3 boxes of variety icecream goodies (for the hubby and kids of course)
1 bag of bagels
1 loaf of bread
1 guilty chocolate bar for me...ok, two but who is counting
1 Dr Pepper because the chocolate bar(s) just go so much better with it
4 apples.
Laundry detergent
Pre-Kroger card value/coupons/extra $15 off for mega event
$130.75
Total out of pocket:
$40.25
A savings of $90.50!
Plus, I strongly recomend when these deals are going on to search your sale paper and then head to ebay as soon as possible! I purchased 20 coupons for the green giant frozen veggies that are on sale this week. I spent 2.99 with no shipping. I turned around and for my $3 out of pocket, got 20 bags of free frozen veggies!

Who woulda thunk it?
Sometimes I am just really amazed at a situation. Not often, but sometimes a situation will occur that will just flip my lid and then I really have to rethink my views on things. Ok, so I am not talking about politics but kindness, generosity, a willingness to help found in the strangest of places.
Case in point-a local medical group. It is huge. Most of the physicians around my town (technically a city but still feels like a town to me) are inside of this medical group-family doctors, specialist, hospitals, etc.
I received a couple statements today from visits that my children had recently had with the pediatrician. I was expecting these bills and knew that they wouldn't be little. I called the customer service number to set up a payment arrangement and was told that the group doesn't do payment arrangements. My heart dropped.
Instead they offer a discount. If you pay by phone within the first 30 days of receiving a statement, they will discount a bill by 20%! 20%! Within the first 60 days a discount of 15% will be given.
Wow.

5o cents for milk
Last night I had to run to Kroger for milk. I had too. *Gasp* It had been two days. So, I trudged into Kroger late last night. Then, had to trudge back out in the cold to get money, then back inside. It was 20 degrees! Whew!
Anyway, I got the other few things that I needed: Jelly, popcorn, chocolate syrup (for chocolate milk of course) and then headed to the self check out. I always check the coupon catalina for left over coupons. There was one dangling on the machine that had a $3.00 off printed on it. I took a closer look to see that it was a coupon for $3.00 off a next purchase! A gold mine in coupons!
I looked at the lady manning the self checkout lanes and then looked back at the coupon. I snagged it and turned it in. This means that my milk only cost 50 cents!
Always check those coupons laying around. Some people don't realize that they are leaving free money at the checkout. Check out the loot of coupons my friend Kim found the other day...

Paper!
I wanted some scrapbook paper for Christmas and was given some spending money by my wonderful in-laws! I went to AC Moore last Wednesday night to snag me some paper only to find that it was 99 cents a sheet! I cringed, picked up a couple pages but ended up putting it back down.
Then, a dear friend of mine told me that Micheals was having a sale this week on scrapbooking paper! 7 sheets for $1...yes 7 sheets for $1! So, we headed to Micheal's yesterday after church to catch the deal.
I got 112 sheets for just over $16.05, and there was still a ton left!
How much did I save? Well it is hard to say since some pages were 59 cents, some 79 cents, and some 99 cents. But just for fun...
A savings of...
$60 if each sheet had been 59 cents
$82 if each sheet had been 79 cents
$109 if each sheet had been 99 cents

But what does Burger King have?
Today I was late getting home. I needed to put the kids down for quiet time when I got home so I decided to duck into the Micky D's on the way home. There was only one car waiting in front of me so I was excited. In and out.
I had already rolled down my window to place my order so I could hear what the guy in front of me was ordering. But he wasn't ordering, he was complaining. Then I hear him ask this question:
"But what does Burger King have?"
Now I am really listening. I am in a drive through at Micky D's trying to get home to preserve nap time and this guy is asking about the Burger King menu. I laugh out loud and then physically lean out the window, to hear the rest of the conversation.
Micky D person: "I'm sorry sir, I don't know." I hear her say.
Pesky Car Driver: "But what do they sell on their dollar menu?"
Micky D person: "I don't eat there sir," (Clever I thought...way to keep your job because there is probably a boss around somewhere.) "you can go there if you like."
Pesky Car Driver: "Ok, fine..." and then goes on to order.
When he is at the pick up window, he is still fussing about the difference between the two places of business.
Really?

A giggle...a chuckle...
Oh this is funny...no, bad...no funny in the moment...bad.
Click here. Be ready to giggle even if you know it is wrong!
(For those afraid to click, I would never post something that is immoral. This is just a husband/wife chuckle. It involves a anniversary and a gift gone wrong. We've all been there!)

Poop.
It is such a lovely word...poop. Is it an acronym for something? I don't know but as of late, it the favorite word of my son. He says it even though he knows that he shouldn't. And then, bless his little repeating heart, he says "Sorry Mommy for saying poop" a hundred times, just for the excuse of saying the word again!
Now, I know that we all poop. I know that there are some days that I say I am too pooped to poop! I know that it could be alot worse. But something about that word is just driving me crazy! Anyone else pooped of hearing the word poop?

Sewing Envy.
I have a friend that makes, oh my, the most absolutely adorable shoes that I have ever seen! I have a sewing machine but the things scares me to death. I have had several "lessons" from well meaning relatives and even some very dear friends (thanks Sherri M.) but have yet to finish a project. Oh, this is going to be my New Year resolution. To be able to take the monster, I mean machine out of the floor and enjoy it! It was an awesome birthday gift from my in-laws a couple years ago.
Here is a preview of the shoes...my heart just melts....click on the picture to go to Richelle's site to check out all of the cute stuff!
