It's been a while...

Although I have been reading blogs since last April, I haven't posted on my own, and I truly to miss it. Things have really been turned up on their head since last April (for the better!) and I'm looking forward to what 2009 has in share for Jolie & I. I hope to be able to post on a more normal basis, in between working and chasing around a 16 month old! Yes, can you believe Jolie is 16 months old now?? I know I can't! WHERE does the time go!? Hopefully soon I'll have some updates on Jolie, what's been happening in our household and anything else I can think about. Stay tuned!

less than 3 days left

I'm so glad some of you have tried Revolution Money Exchange! Don't you just LOVE it?! I have no way of knowing which of you signed up so, if you haven't already, go get your free $25 too, while you still can!

Only 3 days left!

Check out what I have to say about it here. It's totally for real.

Walmart makes me happy :)

(Let me rephrase that title. I actually try to stay away from Walmart but getting things for FREE makes me happy ;)



If you're low on cereal, now is the time to stock the pantry! Walmart has certain flavors of Malt-O-Meal cereal on rollback 2 for $2. **Ours weren't in the regular cereal row, one Walmart had them on an end cap and our other local Walmart had them towards the milk on a big display.**

If you use this coupon for $1.50/1 you'll make .50cents per bag (if your store allows overage) or use this coupon and they'll still be free, just no overage. You can print each coupon twice, just click the back button 2-3x and another coupon should print out for ya and if you have multiple printers like me you can get a whole bunch of free cereal!

I also got the Zantac cool mint using the $5/1 coupon here These are regularly priced at $3.98 for the 8 pack so if your store allows overage thats $1.02 bonus per pack!

Using the $2/1 Honey Bunches of Oats coupons I picked up 2 boxes of the Chocolate Clusters which were $1.98 so they were FREE too! The label said $2.35 so I was happy to pay .35cents a box but when I got to the checkout they rang up $1.98.

I got 2 of the trial size Red Zone Old Spice body washes for free too using the $2/2 coupon from March 16th's paper.

To get the Glade Scented Oil Warmers, I used the $3/1 coupons I had from a Sunday paper(not sure which one) and since they are normally priced at $2.47 they were FREE too!

Now I should have had over $9 in overage but my cashier wouldn't let me have it so my balance was just zero. Not that I was complaining :)

I actually had a few more cereal coupons and I went back and got them and 2 more boxes of Zantac and bought a gallon of milk and using the overage the milk was free. So I guess it all depends on your cashier wether or not you will get the overage!

Can't beat free though, with or without the bonus of overage! :)

Paid to shop at Publix!



A good week at Publix. My store accepts competitor's coupons so I was able to get everything you see in the picture for a little over $2.00 including tax! Not too shabby! Here's how the deal worked out:

For the Classico Spaghetti Sauce that are on sale this week Buy 1 Get 1 Free, I used 2 of the $1/1 coupon from Target here

and stacked with the $1/2 manufacturer's coupon here

and MADE 31 cents each pair!
YAY!

While you're there pick up some FREE French's mustard and Frank's hot sauce using the coupons here. The coupons are for .50 cents off 1 but when they double that it's $1.00 off and The frank's hot sauce is 99cents regular priced. The french's mustard is .95cents so you'll actually make 5cents! :)

I also used the Food Lion baby coupons for $1 off ANY Gerber baby food and stacked with a manufacturer's coupon available here They were on sale $5/5 so that made these FREE too!

Since I had a little over $3 in overage from the Classico I used it to buy some ice cream sandwiches and eggs and only paid $2 and some change for all that you see! I absolutely looove Publix!

What grocery deals did you find this week? I found this and MANY more at Money Saving Mom.com. Head on over to Money Saving Mom for more ways to save on your grocery bill!

Up, Up, and Away!

Here are the pictures of the munchkin, as promised, of the first time she pulled herself up to a stand! She's just barely 7 months old! Wow, I'm in for it! :) Time to baby proof the house!
After about 30 seconds of investigating her new toy...

I think I'll try to stand up!

This is hard work!

I did it!

So proud of herself!

I'll be posting my CVS deals this week, there are a TON, so check back later for some more updates! :) Happy Saturday Ya'll!

a good start!

Lots to write about tomorrow...including a new business venture for me!

but I thought I'd share what we're having for breakfast tomorrow. Breakfast is one of my favorite things to cook. Nothing better than to start the day off with a yummy treat! Enjoy!


Bacon Cheese Pull-Aparts
Ingredients

1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 (16.3-oz.) can Pillsbury Grands! Flaky Layers Refrigerated Original Biscuits
6 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, cooked
3 oz. (3/4 cup) shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions (4 medium) (I often leave these out.)

DIRECTIONS
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 11x7- or 12x8-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In large bowl, beat egg and milk with wire whisk until smooth.

2. Separate dough into 8 biscuits; cut each into quarters. Gently stir biscuit pieces into egg mixture to coat evenly. Fold in bacon, cheese and onions. Spoon mixture into sprayed dish; arrange biscuit pieces in single layer.

3. Bake at 350°F. for 23 to 28 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into squares.
