I had a great day!

I had such a nice birthday that it lingered on to the rest of the week.  So that is the reason why I haven't blog since Tuesday (So I thought; look down below this post and you'll know why).  I really had an awesome day, thanks to my husband.  He was like my personal shopper/personal bag carrier.  It was nice because he hates to shop, especially when it comes to clothes shopping because I am so picky. First, we went to Best Buy to day dream about the big flat screen LCD TV's.  They are so … [Read more...]

Tips for Savvy Toy Shopping

I don't have to tell you that we are facing some tough economical times in the months and years ahead. With a worldwide economic recession an arms width away, shopping for holiday gifts is a frightening prospect for many parents. Retailers are scared too and as a result are offering up great deals on many of today’s popular toys and games. When it comes to bargain hunting, it pays to shop around. Parents - do your research just as you would for a bigger-ticket item like a washer/dryer or HD TV. … [Read more...]

It’s Cyber Monday!

For those of you that don't know about Cyber Monday, well, it's alot like Black Friday.  The best part is you don't have to leave your house.  Now that's what I call Black Friday shopping!! Almost every online store is having a great sale that is only valid for today.  Walmart is having a pretty good Cyber Monday sale too.  I just bought my 3 year old daughter a Leapster 2 handheld learning game for $69.99 and they included 2 games that are valued at $25 each.   That is a $50 savings.  They … [Read more...]

Before the big day!

You see, I told you I would be comotose.  I am officially FULL OF FOOD!   I am so stuffed, I feel like a turkey.  There's still dessert to be eaten but when I think of dessert, I want to puke.  We have the Caramel Pumpkin Cheesecake and Pumpkin Pie with whipped cream in the fridge.  I thought that wasn't enough dessert but it sure is now.  The way it looks right right now, that could be breakfast.  There's nothing wrong with eating pumpkin pie for breakfast, right? ;) Anyway, enough about the … [Read more...]

I got it!!

I received my SnapFish Custom PhotoBook just last night after ordering it on Thursday afternoon and I just have to say I am very happy with it.  My family loves it!  I chose all the pictures that we took the day we went Apple Picking because most of the pictures came out really nice and it was a really fun family day. The delivery was super fast too.  I can't believe I got the book in just a few days.  Normally, it would've taken about 3-5 business days because that is what they told me.  I … [Read more...]

A great sale and something for FREE!

Everyone loves free stuff, right?  I know I do.  I also love Oprah Winfrey.  I DVR her show every day and my favorite shows are about decluttering and how to stay looking young.  Yesterday's show was awesome.  Organization expert Peter Walsh and his clutter crew was in New York to look for some messy houses.  He found some apartments in Harlem that desperately needed some organizing. I wish he would come to my house because my closets are full of things I never use. Anyway, the great sale is … [Read more...]

Black Friday is almost here! Are you ready?

Well, the time is near.  Thanksgiving is almost here and that means Black Friday shopping for many of us.  I don't usually go shopping on Black Friday but I have many times.  Let me tell you, if you haven't gone shopping on the Friday after Thanksgiving, then you are definitely missing out on some crazy shopping!  Everyone is in a great mood BUT it can get intense because everyone wants the best deal they can get.   First of all, you need comfortable shoes and clothes because you are going to … [Read more...]

I got my fix!

I really haven't had "great" deals at CVS in awhile so when I saw this week's deals, I thought it was time to score some well needed stuff and other items too. So I went to CVS yesterday and I also got some free items as well.  I had $20.46 in ECB's (two cards; hubby and mine) and my goal was to spend less than $5 but that didn't quite happen. Here's what did happen: This was done in two transactions: Sensodyne $4.49 ($.75 Q) Mylanta $6.00 ($3 Q) Motrin for Children … [Read more...]
