Frappuccino Deal!

Walgreen's has 9.5 oz Frappuccino's on sale this week 4/$5 with in ad coupon. Pair these up with the $1/1 coupons from last months coupons final price is ONLY $0.25 per bottle!! Hubby loves these so I try to stock up whenever possible. If you still have the ice cream coupons you can score those for only $0.50 after $2/1 coupon at Walmart!!

HIP cosmetics @ Walgreen's

So the car had to go in for some maintenance today at the dealer so the boys and I walked across the street to Walgreen's to use up a $3RR that was expiring today. I brought the binder as well since we had an hour to burn. Loreal cosmetics are on sale B1G1 50% off AND H.I.P. is also included...the BEST part is that I found a BUNCH that are on clearance for $3.19! So buy 2, use 2 $2 coupons and they are only $0.40 after coupons!!!

Time to stock up on some awesome eyeshadow, these are normally $11.99 each!!

Shopping...to do or not to do...

So far this month I have only spent a little under $75 on groceries. We have soooo much stuff stockplied up that I figured that we could last quite a while just eating from what we have. We have not been shorted by any means. Since we have a lot of important things coming up I wanted to be quite a bit tighter on our budget. Examples are we are going to Disney next month (YAY) Tristan needs to be registered for school. One of our cars needed new tires (which are sooo expensive btw BUT we did shop around and find a good deal), we have to pay for a home inspection next week as well. Along with a few other things, my point is that I have come to realize that I may have "mad" coupon skills but I do not have to put them to use all the time. I am VERY thankful that I learned the "couponing game" because otherwise we may be in a tight squeeze this month. Sometimes you just have to let some of those sales go by, as you do NOT need to hit up EVERY single one like so many of us do when we start couponing. (Hey it's thrilling and addictive, kinda like the internet...lol)

House hunting on a happier note!

We did let out first realtor go...and found the BEST realtor EVER!!! She has went above and BEYOND any and ALL of our expectations! We hired her on Sunday and went through about 25 houses with her. We found a SUPER nice one and put in an offer on Tuesday...we are in the process of negotiations and hopefully all will turn out with this one this time. The last guy lost 4 houses for us. The time and stress has been pretty overwhelming so I am hoping for the best. This time we have 4 back ups that we can pursue "just in case".

I do hope all of this house stuff will be done and over with soon so that I can happily get back to blogging as I truly miss it and all of you GREAT readers! Thanks for bearing with me and all of your support!!

Skincare RX gift card...

I sent a few of these to friends and family. When I finally went to use mine this site was OVERWHELMED with traffic. So I decided to try the next day, I was pretty bummed when it wouldn't work. I contacted the customer service for help (at this point I figured that I wasn't going to get much help and that it wouldn't really result in anything.) BUT much to my surprise they email me back within 48 hours we replied back and forth 2 times, as I have been quite to busy to call the 800 number, and they added my gift card to my account!!! SOOOOO I just got all done and ordered a Pear Peony Body wash which totalled $18.95 with shipping FOR FREE!!!!! YAY me!!! I hope that everyone else that I sent one to got to use them. IF you didn't get to use your code MAKE SURE you contact the customer service because they are SUPER DUPER friendly and willing to help!!

She gave me a coupon for FREE hair dye AND a 15% friends and family coupon that she got from work....

So tired that my blog is definately lacking of new deals n posts....

IS it only me?!?

This house buying crap is VERY frustrating so after putting in a WHOLE month with all of the contractors, appraisal people and what have you we have what seems to be the WORST realtor EVER!!! Ugh!!! He doesn NOT know how to do his job and I can tell you this as my husband was a realtor and I too went to school for that....sooooo ARGH!!!!!!

He was supposed to put our offer in asap and we come to find out that he messed around and put it in later which means another offer was submitted first. AND to top it off since it is a foreclosure this particular bank won't even LOOK at our offer since the other one was submitted first. They do one and only one at a time. We even countered our own offer to go higher but NOTHING!

We really wanted to be in a new house before Tristan started school but it appears that if we keep on dealing with this numb skull then it will NOT happen.

I mean SERIOUSLY!!! WTF?!?!?! Does the guy NOT want to make money or something? Hello...this will now be the SECOND house that we will have lost dealing with him. He is constantly late to showings, doesn't follow up or returns our calls unless we hound him like a bill collector....WHAT GIVES?!?!?!


Sorry for the rant...just has to get this off of my chest...seeing as today has been a really bad day...to top it off someone unplugged my chest FREEZER....today is NOT a good day...sigh....

Kmart Doubles 7/5/09-7/11/09 $5 off $50 coupon!

If you're headed out to Kmart for doubles this next week make sure that you bring the $5 off $50 coupon.

It's when you don't think that you will need it that you will.) Go here to print off the coupon. This will work great if you are going to do the catilina deal with the various brands. Most importantly Huggies, Pull Ups and Goodnights!

The best way to maximize this deal is like this:

Buy 5 Pull ups, Huggies or Goodnights $9.99 each

1 Huggies Travel Wipes $1.09

use the $5 off $50 coupon

use 5 $2 coupons for the Pull ups/Huggies/Goodnights

use $1 Huggies Bath and Body coupon

get $14 catilina back!
