SAVINGS, SAVINGS, SAVINGS

Okay - since Kaison has started formula I have been trying to save money any where I can. I have even resorted to cutting coupons, which I grow to hate real quickly!! I came across a website from someone else's blog called Baby Cheapskate (www.babycheapskate.com). Each day or so the lady posts bargains that you can find at well known stores, such as Old Navy, Baby Center, Amazon.com, etc. She does all the dirty work for you and will post when Target and Wal-Mart have sales on their diapers or formula. It is nice to have someone else do the leg work for you!!

I also found a website wwww.afullcup.com. It is a discussion board type page where people post deals that they have found or links to coupons. It also has a Target and CVS coupon generator that will pring their store coupons that they have out at that time. I have found the CVS coupons to be great for us!! I know I have told some of you my savings story from CVS, so if you have heard it already I am sorry!!

On A Full Cup you can print a coupon to CVS that if you fill a new or transferred prescription you can get a $25 gift card free. They also had several other coupons that you could print like $5 off a purchase of $20 and $5 off Energizer batteries. It just happens that I had two prescriptions that I needed have filled. I took them in on two separate days and on both days got a $25 gift card. Also, last week their Energizer batteries were on sale for $5.29. So with my $5 off coupon I got an 8 pack of batteries for $0.29. What a deal!! I didn't buy too much other stuff that night, but the next time I went I was able to get 3 cans of Nestle GooNowdstart Natural Cultures formula for free. I also got a couple of gift bags, cough syrup, more batteries, cough drops, and Kleenex. I left the store with $12 left on my gift card!! I could have gotten another free can of formula, but I was in a hurry and did not go back to get it. Did I mention that both prescriptions together only cost $10. That is all I paid out of pocket for EVERYTHING!! You can't beat that!!

So, all you frugal people out there who want to save money but don't want to keep up with what each store has on sale that week, check out A Full Cup. I guarantee you will find great deals on the things that you need to buy. And it is not only baby stuff. They post all kinds of coupon codes or links to coupons that you can print.

Now each of you have to go check out these sites and come back and tell me the great deal that you found!! I hope you are able to save as much money as I was!!

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!!

Playing in the Leaves

Yesterday Corban and Landice came over to play. I raked a few leaves for them to play in. Kadence wasn't quite as excited as Corban and Landice. She had more fun riding in the wagon!! Here are a few pictures.
