Happy Thanksgiving!

general, Uncategorized
I'm so thankful for my wonderful family and especially the support they have provided me these last couple of months.   I have some great news to share!  I'm pregnant with identical twin boys.   The pregnancy is going well but it sure caught me by surprise.  I have had a lot of all day sickness and extra exhaustion.  That is the reason I've had to put off  blog posts these last couple of months.    My daughter is very excited and is growing up fast.  I'm so thankful for my wonderful husband who has taken extra time and energy to work around the house and help take care of us. How was your Thanksgiving? Happy Thanksgiving!

Looking for a Washington Post Deal? How about $.59 Sundays?!

Newspapers, Uncategorized
I'm always looking for good deals on getting the paper cheaper.  I've had issues trying to get a good deal on the Washington Post these last couple months.  I've learned to keep calling and asking.  My last bill was incorrect and I didn't get the deal they offered and instead they offered me not as good a deal so I took it just because I still wanted the delivery.   I should have canceled. Now, I'm going to call back and ask for this one and get them to send me the bill so I can pay for a YEAR (52 week) subscription instead of just 26 weeks. Subscribe to The Washington Post today and save up to 79% off the newsstand rate Get 26 weeks of Sunday home-delivery for just 59¢…

Rite Aid Shopping Trip 11/13/10 – All for $11.25 and got back $8.99!

Coupons, Rite Aid, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized
Wow!  It's been a long time since I posted a shopping trip and I thought this one was worth it to post. Check out all I got for $11.25 and I got back $8.99 to use on my next purchases.  I'm really amazed at the deals that Rite Aid has with their new +UP reward program. I did this in a couple transactions because I had a raincheck for the Nivea lotion which would have been a $5 +UP but what the cashier did was put it towards my next purchase.  What a great idea. I highly recommend getting to know the cashiers and managers at your stores because they can help you with rain-checks, checking the back for the product or even some other creative ways to help you…

My next adventure Homemade Bagels

Recipes, Uncategorized
Like I said in my previous post a couple weeks ago, life in my household has been a bit crazy.  More about that in future posts.   However, it is time to start getting back on the blogging and savings wagon.  Since this last month was crazy we are getting low on our stockpile so it is time to catch up on coupons and deals. I was looking at Liz's post on FrugallyBlonde about how to make  Homemade Bagels.  What a great idea!  I can't wait to try this recipe.  Lately I have had a craving for bagels and cream cheese.   Sounds good right now!
