Cheap to Free Goody Hair Stuff
Filed Under bargains | Leave a Comment
Found this coupon the other day and I had forgotten about it… but then saw it again over at Coupon Geek and it reminded me to print it out. It’s a pdf file, so there are no limits to how many coupons you can print. (These would make great stocking stuffers!) Just print fast before they take it down. 
Coupon Geek suggests using this Q in combination with the Walgreens Easy Saver coupon for $2 off a brush, so you’d have a total of $4 off one of their Ouchless line of brushes. I don’t know what those brushes retail for, but it sounds like a good deal! I also know that Walmart and Target have the ouchless headbands and ponytail holders Ashlyn loves to wear to basketball and she seems to lose them almost as fast as I buy them. I think they are right around $2.00 so this coupon would make them almost free!

My Little Bargain Shoppers
Filed Under Kidlets, bargains | Leave a Comment
McKenzie swept the sidewalk earlier today in hopes of earning some extra school clothes money. She does this often, she’ll get a wild hair and make this BIG list of different chores that she thinks is worth $5. She gets as far as the final chore on the list and is then bored and moves onto do something else.
After she did her sweeping, she heard some buzz around our neighborhood that there was a garage sale, on the next street over. There went her jump start on school clothes. She hit up Daddy for cash, and got $3.00. I tried to explain to her, not to buy anything that we don’t need that would end up just going back into a garage sale we would have later. I probably should have walked with her but I kind of wanted to see what she’d come up with.
She came back a little bit later with change that she was going to share with Bailey, by taking her for a return trip to the sale. So, Bailey comes running in and says she bought me something. She pulls out this white crocheted pot holder. Not something I think I’d use to grab ahold of a hot pan with, it’s really thin. But it’s pretty and someone obviously put some hard work into it. She tells me “I almost bought you a jammie dress”…. David thought that was funny! Oh my. Glad she decided against it! I’m not sure I could have made myself wear something like that, EVEN for her sweet little face. She also bought this rather large blanket… with cardinals and birdhouses on it.
I asked McKenzie what she’d bought… and she said “oh just some baskets”… and I kind of thought to myself, “sensible purchase” LOL. Then she goes and gets them and I couldn’t help but laugh a little. She was so proud of the deal she had gotten on them. The guy had them marked $2 each (no wonder why they were still there Sunday night of a 3 day garage sale!) and sold them to her $1 for both of them. She said “mommy, I got $3.00 off!” At least she was looking for a bargain! That’s my girl I was waiting for her to rattle off something about the percent of markdown that was LOL. It was cute, we got a good chuckle out of it.
Now what am I to do with this JUNK? The girls decided Great Grandma will like the pot holders (did I tell you, McKenzie got the matching one… they were in the FREE box she tells me), her favorite color is purple and Bailey says “they are her style” and Plain Grandma loves birdhouses, so she may get that blanket. Maybe Grandma Lisa needs a nice new basket. Mckenzie has plans for those though, she wants to put dirt and seeds in them. LOL. GIRLS! A deal is a deal only if it’s something you NEED! They’ve got some learning to do!
But I will say it was $3 of entertainment

* 5 Johnson & Johnson’s Soap Buddes (Regularly .97, with $1 off printable coupon = FREE) ** My little plug for Glade products: I am addicted to smelly things, especially candles, air freshners, and the like. I love Glade products. I have been purchasing these for years and years. I love them, but they are expensive, so I do only purchase them on sale and with a good coupon. A few weeks ago, I took a moment to email the makers of Glade…. and I told them how much I like their products and they sent me a coupon for a free product. I used that today The Glade Wisps are great for an air freshner for your car, bathroom, walk in closet, etc. The candles are a little goofy…. but, the wisp refills are over $2.50 alone, so getting the candle and a refill for .99 is a great deal, and it comes with 2 Energizer batteries (LOL). Plus, the technology on the warmer units themselves does get better over time and I was ready to replace the few Wisp holders I already have. It was $$ well spent
* 5 Glade Wisp Flameless Candle Starter Kits (On sale for $5.99, $5 off printable coupon = .99)
* 1 Glade Scented Oil Refill (Not on sale, but free with coupon) 
* 1 jar Best Food Mayonnaise (.77 each)
* 2 tubs Country Crock Butter (.77 each)
* 4 bottles Lawry’s Marinades (.77 each)
* 2 jars Skippy Peanut Butter (.77 each)
* 4 tubs (small size) Breyer’s Ice Cream (.77 each)
Second $5 off, when you spend $15 deal:
And on my way home I got a free mango Fruitista from Taco Bell. You can print out a couple of coupons from that site, they are GOOD! I am not an expert at this, but I’m learning! I admit I mostly grab these ideas from other sites (I use lots, but two of my favorites are Money Saving Mom and Hot Coupon World). It really just takes only a little bit of my time and if it helps us save money and continue using products we may not be able to enjoy with the rising costs of groceries, then I’m willing to do it. And the thrill of a good deal IS pretty exciting If you are interested in any of the deals at Target, they are good through Saturday (the Soap Buddies are reg. priced at .97, so you can get them any time for free with the printable coupons). If you are interested in the Albertsons deals, I’d go quickly… things were going fast there, but that sale is good through Tuesday
* 2 boxes of Challenge Butter (Fred Meyer ad coupon = .99 each)

I paid $12.53 for all this!

What you don’t see pictured is some of the Gatorade bottles, they are in the back of my van for softball games. Also, I got free pizza hut express breadsticks at Target coupon here.
I also bought some fresh fruit, peanut butter, butter and a few other things that were full price. I spent under $25 on all of it though! Taking this and the $25 spent a few days ago on meat and other staples, we still have $25 left to spend for the week without breaking budget. Yay!
I have one more stop to make this week at Walgreens to get dish soap and possibly some Aveeno products. If you are interested in reading more about saving money or getting items you use every day for FREE, these are my two absolute FAVORITE sites to check out daily: Money Saving Mom and Hot Coupon World

We’ve Discovered Redbox!
Filed Under bargains | Leave a Comment
About 2 months ago, I canceled my Netflix membership and we no longer rent DVD’s from Blockbuster nor PPV. We’ve discovered Redbox! Providing you can return the movies on time (9pm the next day), these make for a GREAT deal on movie rentals! They are $1.00 + tax each!
Or free if you have a code. I found a list of Redbox codes online. You get one free rental per code, and each code can be used one time per credit card. You just have to check out the movies separately.
Here is the list…. the newest codes are in the left colum, the right column has the oldest and I don’t know how many are valid (to my knowledge, they all are, but I can’t guarantee that :).. that’s why I text quite a few to my cell phone so I have them on me when I go to rent something.

Just thought I’d share a Bath and Bodyworks deal I am hoping to take advantage of this week. Signature Collection shower gels, bubble bath, body spray, etc are 5 for $25 through Wednesday. They are regularly $10.50 each. There are two coupons that should be able to be used together to make this a whorthwhile deal.
Get a 2oz Lotion for free with this coupon.
And, the other day my mom and I went to the Holiday Food and Gift Show. I talked about it in a previous post. Anyway, one of the vendors were selling graham cracker toffee. It was very good, but overpriced for what seems like a pretty inexpensive and easy thing to make. I found a recipe online to share!
Graham Cracker Toffee
Enjoy!!
