The Cost of Diapers 2010 – February Update

Baby, Big Lots, CVS, Rite Aid, Uncategorized, Walmart
After adding in my diaper purchases for January and February here is what I've spent so far on diapers this year. I will be getting additional rebates for the Rite Aid Pampers and will subtract that when I get it. This last week I got my rebate check from Caregivers Market Place- $12.50!   Not bad for saving my receipts for Huggies diapers and a few other products then at the end of the year I filled out the rebate form.   I will add that $12.50 back into the cost of diapers for this year, since I didn't include that in my calculations last year.  Note:  This year 2010 Caregivers doesn't offer the same rebates as in 2009.

DIYPlanner.com – Check it out! Get Organized for 2010!

DIY, Financial, Uncategorized
Organization is a never ending battle.  No matter what life throws at you, you will be disorganized at one time or another.  There have been times I have been so organized it felt great, but life does happen and that planner gets left at home, or the monthly to-do list gets misplaced on the kitchen table with the mail.  Now, that I'm a working outside the home Mom, being organized is a dream!  Even in my About Me I mention my struggle with organization - "I hope as time goes by I will have the opportunity to learn to organize my time better and post deals as well as shopping trips." I was a Day-Timer fan for years.  I still have a place in my heart for the Day-Timer concept,…

Happy V-Day!

general, Uncategorized
Wishing everyone a wonderful V-day!  I hope you had fun. What did you do on your V-day? My family went to CiCi's pizza for dinner.  We stuffed ourselves and had a great time.  We used the B1G1 coupon in the 1/31 inserts so it cost us less than $10 to eat since the little one got in free! This weekend has been a little crazy. I had several hours yesterday by myself to get things done and I did 7 loads of laundry and today I did 2 loads.  It wasn't until last week that I realized being at home for several days doing 2 loads a day I still was so behind on loads to do.  I mentioned in the past how I do laundry but I have to…
