We’ve decided to eat from our stockpile for a while and reduce my weekly budget to a mere 40.00 for EVERYTHING (including food, toiletries, personal products, cleaning stuff, etc). I am looking foreward to saving 240.00 this month by staying on budget in this way! Wish us luck! 2X Bananas @ 0.67/lb = 2.91 English […]

This was a particularly good week for me as my new Omni Blender (like a Vitamix) came in! I was really excited to stock up on fruits and spinach for drinks everyday and have been drinking them about twice a day since Even though my percentage saved was not as high this week, I was […]

Although it almost killed me to wait until Wednesday to do my grocery trip, I was thrilled to see the products I was price matching in stock this week. The downside to my GREAT trip, was that I forgot my scotch tape. You see, I always bring a roll of tape and attach all my […]

These thrift store finds are from two separate trips. I went in looking for something specific but didn’t end up finding it. Of course, it’s difficult to visit our local thrift store without finding SOMETHING. Here are the things I purchased:

For some unknown to us reason, healthy food is MUCH more money then junk food…..some kind of conspiracy by the makers of Pepsi………mmmm (anybody got an extra can of the stuff for me?). The good news is that you CAN shop healthy (and even some organic) for the same money by using coupons on your […]

I was happy to see another 20X the points event this Saturday. Its been a few weeks so I was itching to earn some points! I called the night before to make sure they had a good quantity of the sale wipes so that I could stock up. All in all it was a good trip […]

Although there were not many “really good” deals this week, I was able to grab a few good things. I had two of my three little ones with me at the store. This caused me to hurry out after shopping without checking my receipt first. This was a mistake as I realized at home that […]

I wish i was a more confident driver. If I was, then it would not feel so life threatening to drive a little farther to go to a different store and take advantage of a super sale. This week there was a SUPER great deal at Food Basics on ground beef. When I planned on […]

I received my U by Kotex sample pack from Walmart. I am a big fan of the U by Kotex pantiliners so having the opportunity to sample their other products is great! Here is what I received: (1) U by Kotex Cleanwear Ultra Thin Pad (1) U by Kotex Barely There Pantiliner (1) U by Kotex Sleek Tampon Regular (1) Coupon for $1.00 […]

I went to the thrift store in search of mason jars and any organizational items I could find. Before you hit the section where the mason jars are located, you pass by the cook ware items. Oh my, I couldn’t believe what I found!! It looked to be a brand new CorningWare Creations set. I […]

I was going to start out saying how excited I was for this week (I was) but I realized I say that every week (because I always am) I could hardly wait to go to bed last night so I could wake up and get to walmart to buy the chicken that was on sale […]

You want to know something really funny. Today is June 23! That may not seem funny to you, but it was certainly funny to me when i realized i had needlessly torn up a free product coupon and purged my binder of everything up to the 30! It wasn’t until I was already half way […]

Quick- name one food tastier than bacon…….see, you cant do it can you? We LOVE bacon in our house so i was really excited to see it on sale for only 2.00 a package this week at walmart. I got there as soon as the doors opened (and im glad i did). I just love […]

I am always excited for a 20X the points trip, but this week was especially good for 3 reasons: My husband wanted 4 cases of energy drinks (that he was paying for) My son needed Diapers The new coupon policy means that FPC now count towards me earning points! Needless to say I was looking […]

I went to the thrift store looking for some clothes for the warmer weather we have been having. I thought it was odd when I arrived and there wasn’t the lineup that you’d normally see. At first I thought maybe they changed the “good day” to go to another day. I went in and browsed […]

I was pretty happy with my deals this week. I got alot of “real” food and produce so i was pleased when my total was a manageable amount. Some of my purchases are “not shown” because I actually forgot an entire bag of groceries at Walmart and had to go back for it! Lol thats […]

I was SO grateful for the Shoppers Drugmart Super Redemption this weekend. We had JUST enough points (literally like only a few over) for a $90.00 redemption trip so i was very happy. We love shoppers drugmarts line of organic products because they are affordable and delicious. Although “organic” does not automatically mean “healthy” it […]

What an exciting mail day! I received my P&G BrandSAMPLER box and my Neutrogena Samples. Neutrogena did a promotion in honor of their 60th anniversary in Canada. They gave away 100,000 gifts in total. You were able to pick up to five samples. They had one full sized item (Neutrogena Facial Bar), four travel sized […]
