I got paid to buy Fleischmann's yeast! 2008-03-14 20:41:14 Okay - this is actually an old deal I did before Christmas and never got around to posting - but I thought it was still post worthy.Fleischmann's Yeast went on sale at Kroger for 10/$10. They also had manufacture coupons for .50 cents off, which doubled - making them FREE!I got something like 34 of them! Now if getting them free wasn't good enough, for every one I bought I also got a catalina for .50 cents off my next shopping order!I'll do the math for you. I made $17 bucks for buying 34 Fleischmann's yeast! I don't think it can get much better than that! Oh, besides the fact that this yeast doesn't expire until late 2009 so I have lots of time to make homemade breads, cinnamon rolls and other goodies!
Addicted Gambler Suing Casinos of 20 Million 2008-03-14 18:23:42 So how do you say -- sore looser? Another story were people don't want to take on personal responsibility and would much rather blame everyone else for their problems. And why not? That seems to be where the money is, since she lost a million and is suing for 20 million. Huh? Regardless of whether it was her responsibility or the casinos - the math is still off.Sadder still - I wouldn't be surprised if her lawyer actually found 12 idiotic jurors who feel she is actually owed this money.

I decided to stimulate Kroger 2008-05-04 20:36:45 Isn't that such a weird word? Stimulate. It sounds like a body part.Anyways, Kroger is having a stimulate promotion until 5/31/08 where you buy Kroger Gift Cards, they will give you 10% more in gift cards. You have to buy them in intervals of $300, $600 or $1200. I had been thinking about it for the past couple weeks. Even though I know I would use them because we shop at Kroger weekly and I would be making money on it -- it's still hard to hand over that much money and have a permanent investment - at least for me. But I did - and I went for the big-gun! I handed them $1200 and they handed me 4 $330 Gift Cards. So basically I just made $120 in like 5 minutes. That's 2 weeks worth of groceries for us! Pretty Cool!We haven't gotten our stimulate check yet so I am glad they didn't ask f

Why do we have to tip? 2008-05-09 17:18:30 First, I want to say – I usually tip 15-20%. But really? Why am I required to tip at all? Why is it that restraints get away with paying their waitresses less and expect the customer to finish paying them. I know it’s been said that you are paying for a service – but if I am going to a place of business I expect to get good service anyways. If I go to Kroger and the cashier was extra nice to me in ringing up my coupons – should I give her a tip cause she did her job or because she was extra nice?

I got fabric softener! 2008-05-10 16:38:55 I got these today at Walgreens. They were on sale for $3.99 each - BUT when you buy 9 participating products you get 2 catalinas for $10 each - good on your next shopping order. I also had some lousy .25 cent coupons for each one. So, counting my coupons and catalinas - they ended up being $13.66 for all 9 of them - or $1.51 each! My kids think I am weird when I take pics of the deals I get an
Whiskas Kitty Food 2008-05-10 16:30:59 I've been buying these 12 pks of Whiskas pouches at Krogers. They are on sale until the end of the year for $4.89. Right now there is also $2 coupons out for them, which makes them $2.89. Also, for each box I buy I get a .75 cent catalina good on my next shopping trip - which I just roll into the next boxes of Whiskas I buy. After coupons and catalinas, these are .17 cents per pouch - which i Read more:Kitty

I love Huggies Wipes 2008-05-19 20:32:45 I was thrilled about this deal I got Saturday at Kroger. You see, I am in love with Huggies
baby wipes. I love how thick they are, the texture, smell and the pop up top. I love the way it always has one ready for you and the way you can retrieve one wipe with one hand - which us mom's know it's very handy to have things you can do with one hand - cause the other hand is always busy doing somethi
Save More By Knowing Your Store 2008-05-19 19:52:28 Getting to know your store is a great way to spend less and save more on groceries and other household items. The more you know, the more options you have to save more money. Every store has different rules, store coupons, rewards, policies and way of doing things. Sometimes the same store at another location will have different rules. For instance, there is a Walgreens close to my house who w Read more:Store
You Can Use Coupons and Still Eat Healthy 2008-05-21 07:30:02 I’m not sure where coupons got such a bad rap. Some people are appalled if you even mention the word ‘coupon’. One bad reputation coupons got is, ‘You can’t eat healthy using coupons’, and I would like to let you know, you can.It is true, several coupons are for processed, unhealthy junk foods. However, at the same time, there are just as many coupons for good healthy foods. You just h Read more:Coupons

I'm feel so old! 2008-05-21 18:36:10 We like to watch this show on Discovery channel called Deadlest Catch. In case some of you aren't familiar with this show it's about fishing boats who go out on the Alaskan waters to catch Alaskan King Crab. I don't know why we like this show - it certainly is amazing what they do and the dangers they face. You otherwise would not know. I love crab but I didn't know how dangerous it was to act

Tackle It Tuesday 2008-05-27 12:25:00 This past weekend I finally got around to tackling something that has been LONG overdue. And when I say LONG - I mean LONG!This weekend I tackled my hair! Yes - some might not think that is a big deal. Well - it was. I haven't had my hair cut for at least 4 years or more (I really can't remember). All I know is I had my last two babies and just really lost interest in taking care of myself. I didn Read more:Tuesday
Grilling Out Pizza 2008-05-28 11:01:20 In the summer I always try not to turn the oven on because I don't want to heat up the house.

Tuna Salad with Grated Onions 2008-06-04 20:16:29 We love tuna salad and every time I make it I add chopped onions. I love the taste of the tuna, mayo and onions - but I don't like the raw onion chunks. I can never seem to chop them small enough to satisfy my 'no chunk desire'. Then the other day as I was making tuna salad - it came to me - grate the onion. This was perfect! Grating the onion made the pieces small enough - no chunks - and g Read more:Salad

Price Matching 2008-06-11 14:11:26 The reason stores have sales is to try and lure you in to shop at their store. With so many stores and sales, it can be hard to keep track of each one to make sure you are getting the best deal. Not to mention it can be time consuming and cost a lot in gas going to different stores for different sales.So, as an added benefit to customers some stores will price match. Price matching is when a store
