I'm so excited about the deals I got at Pick N Save this week. I just have to share!!!
I cut coupons, and shopped the ad, then went on Wednesday when they have double coupon day. I had to "split" my groceries into 3 orders, so I could do this, because Pick N Save only doubles up to 5 coupons ($1 and under) per order of $25 or more. Here's just a few of the best deals I got:
Box of "Green Bay Packers" cheerios cereal - reg $2.99, on sale for $.99
McCormick seasonings - 2 different pepper grinders - reg $2.49, on sale for $1.25
Airwick warmer - reg $1.99, on sale for $1.69, coupon scanned for -$2.19...they paid me $.50!!!
Airwick warmer refills 2-pack- reg $5.85, on sale for $4.99, $1 coupon doubles - I paid $2.99
Trident layers gum - 2 packs for $2.90, coupon for bogo free - I paid $1.41
Mentos gum - reg price $1.59, on slae for $1.43, $.55 coupon doubles - I paid $.33
Advil migraine - reg price $6.69, on sale for $4.59, $1 coupon doubles - I paid $2.59
Hilshire cocktail wienies - reg $3.99, on sale for $3.00, $1 coupon doubles - I paid $2
Sargento Fancy Shredded Mexican Cheese, 8 oz - reg $3.49, on sale for $1.66, $.50 coupon doubles - I paid $.66
Tabasco Sauce - reg $1.99, not on sale, $.60 coupon doubles - I paid $.79
Cheerios 4 boxes- reg $15.96 ($3.99 each box), on sale for $11, 2 coupons for $1 off 2 boxes doubles - I paid $7 ($1.75 each box)
Kashi granola bars (2 boxes)- reg $6.98, on sale $5.00, coupon for $1 off 2 boxes doubles - I paid $3 ($1.50 each box)
Frank's Red Hot Wing Sauce - Reg $279, not on sale, $1 coupon doubles, I paid $.79!!!
And this was just a few of my better deals!!!
All in all, I spent $118.78, and saved $53.45, just by buying sale items and using coupons. I don't do this every week, but at least once a month. Buying the Sunday newspaper has more than paid for itself with the coupons and the ads I get each week. Also, I don't always buy the name brand items. Sometimes the generic brands are still cheaper, and I find that most of the time, they are just as good!
Happy saving!

The kids LOVE the train at the zoo!
My favorite is Jeremiah's laugh at the end after he waves and says hi to complete strangers!
garage sale finds!!!
I went to Jackson this last weekend to the town rummage sales. Here are the great deals I found on Saturday. I still ahve to take pictures of my deals from Friday, too!
ALL of this for just $2!!! 8 pairs of pants (including one pair that still had the tags on and one of the jeans was from Old Navy!), 14 shirts (one actual Christmas outfit!), and 3 pairs of winter pj's, plus they threw in the Care Bears puzzle!
All this for only $7 total. A few of the things that I let the kids pick out while we going from house to house...they have so much fun garage sale-ing! I got 2 pairs of jeans for 50 cents each - Old Navy and Levi brand, and they are both in great shape! Jeremiah has a new pair of Scooby Doo swim shorts for 25 cents, a baby blanket I really don't need, but it was really windy out, so I bought it for 50 cents for Tori to wrap up in, and 2 more pairs of pants for her for 25 cents each! Tupperware container and Shape-O-Ball for $1 each!
And THIS is all the stuff we got for FREE!!! mostly toys - it seems a lot of people like to give toys to kids as they come to rummages. The last sale I went to for the day was ready to get rid of stuff - they were bringing stuff to my kids and telling them that if Mom said it was ok, they could have it! The Strawberry Shortcake tin has a puzzle in it, too!
I love garage sales in the summer!!!!!
A SPECIAL thank you to my Aunt Jan, My Grandma Smith, and my mom for teaching me a t young age the joy of garage sales!!!

Alabama, Day 3
On our 3rd day in Alabama, we visited The Track Family Recreation Center. We all had a wonderful time, and the kids really had a blast!
There were a handful of "kiddie rides" that the kids really enjoyed:
The "kiddie swings":
Daddy watching the kids have fun:
Uncle Nate watching the kids, too:
Riding the "kiddie train":
There was even a bell that Jeremiah was able to ring - it was a little hard for him to do at first, but he got the hang of it pretty quick:
Riding the "kiddie ferris wheel":
Uncle Nate on the race track:
Daddy & Jeremiah on the race track:
My favorite thing at The Track was the bumper boats. You get to bump each other while driving in circles, and also squirt each other!
Crazy Dad trying to get me and Victoria:
Grandpa & Jeremiah got pretty wet. I think the rest of us might have been gaining up on Grandpa just a little bit:
After a fun day at the Track, we did some swimming and relaxed. We all got just a touch of sunburn, but not too bad.
Sunset on the beach is beautiful!!!

Alabama, Day 2
Day two.....
Poor Victoria was just exhausted after being awake all night traveling, then playing and such the day before. She woke up because she heard all of us talking, and she didn't want to miss anything. She even took a bite of breakfast, but she just couldn't stay awake!
After sleeping a bit more, Victoria was up and ready for the day!
We went to the beach to fly kites ($1 each at Wal-mart!!!)
Jeremiah thought it was just great!
Victoria had a hard time letting Daddy get her kite up into the air. She wanted to hold it and have it fly all at the same time - kind of like having your cake and eating it too? :)
When we finally got it up in the air for her, she held on to it for all of 2 minutes.....maybe less!
