A fellow couponer needs our help to help her non-profit group win a contest sponsored by Pepsi.
This is a volunteer organization whose members have children with a rare genetic syndome called Dup15. This syndrome results in developmental delays, autism, seizures, and an increase risk of sudden death. If the group wins the grant from Pepsi, they plan to use the money for Research and Family support. Please take a moment to visit this link to help my coupon buddy out. I'm sure that a few seconds of your time can help change lives.

SURPRISE in the mail today!

I received this nice kit of household cleaning products from SC Johnson Right At Home. Apparently, I won the sweepstakes that they host regularly. I've heard that people really do win their contests but they don't seem to post a list or contact you - they just send your goodies. So I'm thrilled to let you know the rumors are true and you can win. Visit their site here to register for their current giveaway of $100 Everyday through December 30th. Good Luck! LMK if you win!

Krogers - Mega Deal

So, I totally cleaned up at Krogers today! I love the mega deals! First round, I spent $155.29 and saved $173.24 which means my total before coupons was $328.53 (OUCH, I'd seriously hate to pay that bill). Second go round this evening, I spent $50.56 and saved $100.77 which means my bill was $151.33 before coupons. All together, ended up with $479.86 in groceries for $205.85 which is way less than half.

A brief rundown on what I bought: 5 pks of Fresh Chicken Breast, and a nice big London Broil Roast, broccoli, salad, bananas, canned beans, corn, fruit cocktail, peaches, tomatoes, soups, taco fixings, chillis, frozen pizzas, hotpockets, toaster strudels, chicken hot wings, gatorade, bottled water, hot chocolate, boxed muffins and cookie mixes, refrigerated cinnamon rolls and cookies, 3 gallons of milk, ice cream, toilet paper, paper towels, Tide, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deoderants, body wash, and the list keeps on going. You might say that I am fairly well stocked on a lot of items...in fact so much so that my cabinets are bulging and so is my mini-deep freezer.

I stocked up on pork chops and hamburger last week. Oh, and I have some more Gain Q's that I need to swing by Walmart to use for free dish liquid. I do need to find a sale and Q's for some dish washer detergeant soon as I am down to my last three boxes....LOL!


Thank you Krogers and all my friends who shared coupons with me.

It's beginning to look a lot of Christmas!
Can you believe it? November is upon us and everyone is beginning to start thinking about the holidays. One of my favorite things about this time of year is the special cards we receive from friends. My kids love to hang them around the house to display them. This year I found this wonderful site which allows you to personalize your cards. I am so excited to order my own set with my children's photo so that my friends can see how much they have grown through out the year. I know I always love getting photo cards from my friends for just this reason. Kids grow up so fast. I think this one "Ho Ho HO" is the one I will go with. What do you think?
I would suggest that you check out the following:
I think that you will be surprised at how reasonable their pricing is and how easy it is to upload your pictures and create your own personalized cards for this holiday season's giving.
If you are a blogger, you can actually earn 50 FREE cards by registering here.
