Working Mom vs. Staying at Home Mom

general, Uncategorized
How much does it cost to work vs. staying at home?  Or how much does it cost to stay at home vs. work? These questions have popped in my head for awhile. I enjoy my job for many reasons. I also like staying at home with my daughter.  I work a 9/80 schedule so I get every other friday off.  This is great because I get a taste of what it's like to stay at home.  However, those Fridays are very busy and I'm usually very tired because of the long week. I really do wonder could we afford for one of us to stay at home?  I did some research and I found a couple interesting calculators that help figure out the answers. Kiplinger - Can One of you…

CVS, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized
I haven't written much lately because the family has been sick.  My daughter went to the doctors again today for an ear infection.  I had to run up to CVS to get her prescription. I was going to do the Pamper diaper deal but then realized that I didn't want to use all of my ECBs so instead I did the following: 1 Cascade 45 oz gel $2.99 1 Vitamin D 120 at 100 count price $2.99  ECB $2.99 -3 ECB -1 Cascade coupon from P&G mailer $5.98 -1.00-3.00=1.98+0.15 tax = $2.13 OOP 2.13 including tax used GC OOP 0.00 Earned 2.99 ECB Cost $2.14

Washington Post – It’s official NO Red Plum coupons

Coupons, Newspapers, Uncategorized
This is a follow up to my post from the other day.   I wanted to mention that this morning I had the bad news of looking at my ad section and only receiving the Smart Source section.  No Red Plum to be found. I didn't get the Red Plum coupons in my mailbox.  The Red Plum ad in my mailbox said "$35 worth of coupons inside" and they weren't there.  It looks like they fell out.   So far my Mom and Mother-in-law (who look out for coupons for me) haven't seen it either.  I don't think this idea of advertising is going to work for Red Plum.  I can see their idea of putting coupons in people's mailboxes would give others opportunity to receive coupons, however, if they are in…

Rite Aid Shopping Trip 2/22/2009

Rite Aid, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized
This evening my husband, baby and I went out shopping.  We used the Big Lots coupon and then stopped at Rite Aid on our way home.  I wanted to use the $5/$20 coupon before it expired. 4 Reeses Whipps King Size On Sale $1.00 each = $4.00 I made 1 mistake and that was I bought the Reeses Whipps King Size rather than the regular size so my profit would have been more. 10 Soy Joy On sale $0.50 = $5.00 These were hard to find.  At first, I only could find 8 of them and lucked out and found another box that had a couple left.  I got whatever flavor they had.  This was a great deal and everyone seemed to notice too! 1 Zilcatin Swabs On Sale =…
