Spring break!!!

So I'm slacking on the coupon and deal finding this week to enjoy spring break. Kids and husband are off work. Beach, water parks, family time!!! I will try and sneak in some couponing tho.

More shampoo and conditioner

I already have way to much. But with a large family I never pass up a good deal. Paid $5 and some change and received a $5 publix gift card back :) .

Toilet paper deals

With couponing you constantly hear about free tp. Honestly in my time couponing it's been rare to see completely free tp. Deals are hard to come by really. The coupons are low so you need a store that allows you to stack store coupons with manufacturer on a good Sale. My supply was getting low so you can imagine my excitement getting 8 of these for $18.56 this was an amazing stock up price. Thanks to my favorite store to coupon publix I won't need more for awhile (but I won't pass up another good deal if it pops up lol).

Coupon Storage.

So I out crew the binder method and frankly , it was taking up way to much time to clip and sort every coupon. Now I sort inserts by date and easily access the ones I need when I need them. This saves so much time. For star age I up cycled old cereal boxes since I love reusing items I already have. I also have a file purse for holding them as well.

So as usual i have been slacking here and need to keep up with it. Been super busy with girl scouts, cub scouts, couponing and enjoying life. I am going to try and update once a week from now on. maybe more if i can. Jean

We have been using aldi's new baby line, and absolutely love it. Works just as good as leading name brands for less the price. My daughter loved all the snacks and food included. The soap smells amazing and gets the job done. Diapers and wipes are amazing. I was skeptical at first cause aldi is a cheaper store but I am 100% impressed. I received my ALDI Little Journey products complimentary from Influenster and am entering the Brand Challenge for a chance to win a prize JEAN www.influenster.com/r/1504772

Complimentary vox box arrived to test out and review

So I just check the mail box and was excited to see my new vox box arrived from influenster !!!! Yay!!! I received a  complimentary box filled with free items to test and reviews . Including Pantene experts intense hydration shampoo and conditioner , simple sensitive skin make up remover wipes, secret clinical strength deoderant and a set of ardells fake eye lashes . I'm so excited to try these complimentary items out and see how they do. I love freebies !

First impression this box is perfect for me , aside from the eye lashes . But I do look forward to trying then out for the first time. Every thing looks and smells great. I will update with my full review soon!!

$2.34 well spent. 12 packs of 4

We absolutely love yogurt . So couldn't resist this deal at publix . $2.34 for everything. For our big family these will go quickly , well worth the trip to the store today :) this deal was completed by 2 people. Myself and my oldest daughter who is learning the couponing ropes.

Typical monday

Most people hate Mondays . Not me it's my day to clip and sort coupons . So relaxing ! As a mom this is my me time . SkittleIsCouponing@gmail.com

New site im on

So i noticed a good friend posting about a survey site earn point's for doing survey's and watching video's/ At first i brushed it off figuring it was not worth it. Than he posted a picture of one of his item's he got. Got me attention so I asked him about it and he got a bunch of thing's earning points to use on amazon.. So i signed up allready up to allmost 1000 point's in 2 day's. Im saving up for get an ipod and a book around 5000 point's for both together..

Here is the link if anyone is interested

Facebook Garage/yard sale site's.

These page's are awesome. I seem to be finding allot of good deal's on them. for example hubby wanted a "man cave" lol so looking into the item's he wanted new and the prices were crazy so Browsing the site for my area I started finding item's for it $60 for a nice bar (those can retail pretty high), found a beautiful mini fridge with glass front, 4 shelves, blue inside lights $50, and a pool table (the thing he wanted most) $100 with a ton of things to go with it.. I love bargain hunting

Finally got my first issue of All You magazine.

woohoo im so happy i finally got my first issue, I ordered it a few month's back threw my daughter's girlscout fundraiser. so much easier then making a trip to walmart to get it, since i do not go often. ... also checked out their website and they had a freebie posted check it out

Slow yet busy

Thing's have been rather slow here yet so busy at the same time.. Even the mail freebies/sample's are not coming in at usual pace lol.. I have not posted much on coupon/sale deal's cause the things I usualy buy im not ready to get more off have a nice stash. I am however posting as frequently as I can while also gearing up for the holiday.
