Purex & Jockey CONTEST

2012-01-22T18:07:00.004-05:00

I recently received a test kit from Purex insiders to try Purex Crystals and a Jockey sports bra.

I was absolutely thrilled with both products. The sports bra provided comfort and support while wicking away moisture. Plus it has a convenient key pocket. Purex Crystals provided a terrific way to soften and freshen my new sports bra without the oils that most softeners contain which is known to damage moisture wicking clothing. These two products were a win win combination.

Now if you'd like a chance to win your own Purex/Jockey kit please comment below. A winner will be chosen on Friday, January 27th. Winner will have 24 hours to respond. Good Luck!

**Disclaimer - This prize package is sponsored by the Purex Insiders program.

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.

Krogers - Mega Deal

2010-11-13T01:13:00.003-05:00

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:

Christmas

Holiday

Birthday

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.

After the birth of my 3rd child, I registered with the National Bone Marrow Registry as part of an effort to find a match for a local 3 year old girl who was in desperate need of help. I wasn't a match for her and so far I have not been matched with anyone else but I am still in the system in case someone ever needs my help.

A 9/11 hero, Roy Chelsen, is in need of a match now. He is a firefighter who survived the terror of the attacks on the World Trade Center. Four years after his heroic acts, he was diagnosed with a cancer of the blood called multiple myeloma. Chemo put him into remission until 2008 which is when he learned he would need a bone marrow transplant for which he is still waiting.

Please take a moment to consider registering. You never know if, when, or who you might be able to help. It takes just a few minutes of your time and a sample of your blood to type. You can check out this link to find out more about how you too can help.

My "Sniff Sniff Hurray" kit arrived just in time for a sink full of dirty dishes. As much as I hate doing dishes, I was excited to give the new Gain dish soap a try. I absolutely love the smell of Gain laundry detergeant and was pleased to find out that the dish soap has the same lovely fragrance. Not only did it clean my dishes to a spotless shine it left my hands feeling great. Thanks to MyBlogSpark for giving me the opportunity to test this wonderful new product and also to Procter & Gamble for supplying the kit. I also received 3 cute t-shirts and 3 $5 Walmart gift cards. I used the gift cards to stockup on more Gain dish detergeant and laundry powders and I shared the t-shirts with friends. I had a few coupons for $1/1 Gain dish liquid which I also shared with friends and encouraged them to redeem them at Walmart as they have the soap on sale for .97 each which means FREE with Q.

My 1st Spark

2010-09-08T06:24:00.007-04:00

The wonderful folks at Myblogspark contacted me about testing the new P&G Gain dish washing liquid. For once in my life, I am excited about doing dishes LOL. I love the smell of Gain so I am excited about trying this new dish detergent.

Myblogspark is sending me a "sniff, sniff, hurray" kit provided by the Procter & Gamble Company. This fabulous kit will include: the Gain product, 3 t-shirts, bubbles, and 3 $5 WalMart giftcards to test and share with friends. Hmmm.....now which of my friends has the most dishes to wash?

2010-07-31T10:42:00.005-04:00

When I tell people that I am a coupon shopper, they usually look at me like I'm crazy. I often hear, well I don't waste my time clipping coupons because it isn't worth it. I also hear that you can only get "junk" with coupons. Well check my recent Kroger's shopping trip....What's in my buggies?
32-ct DBL roll of Charmin, 7 Fusion ProGlide Razors, 7 Old Spice Body Washes, 7 assorted deoderants, 2 Covergirl eyeshadows and mascaras, Tide HE 64 load box, 1 Dole bagged salad,
5# Clementines, 2 x ChipsAhoy cookies, 2 doz. donuts, 2 pks of granola bars, 9 individual pks of peanuts, 1 box of toaster struddle, 2.5# peaches, 18-ct eggs, 7 lrg. cereal boxes, 2 x OreIda fries, 4.5# pork tenderloin (sliced free), 10 x Smart Choice frozen entrees,4 RibEye steaks, 3 lb. Tyson Chicken tenderloins, 4 pks of Kraft cheese slices, 1 pk of Kraft cheese shredded, 2.5# green grapes, 2.5# red grapes, 2.5 # peaches, 1#blueberries, 1# strawberries, 2.7# bananas, broccoli, and cauliflower.

Maybe not my best shopping trip but I still save $161.11 in coupons!

Total Cost for all of this = $156.53 but since I have not been shopping in at least 3 weeks, I feel I did alright. Other than the 2 pks of cookies and 2 doz. donuts, everything is either a healthy item or a necessary household/hba item. So Junk? I think not. Waste of time? Definitely not.

I still need to buy milk...but another local grocery store gives you a milk ticket every time you purchase a gallong and I have enough to get some milk FREE. So I'll be getting my milk for FREE this week.
