A Special Note About This Years Gift Guide: I actually made this image way back in the summer when I was debating on if I was going to try to do a gift guide this year. I figured either way I could make a cute graphic :) As you well know this year has been really crazy(grandpa died, chemical eyeburn for me, david had a tiny wreck, my parents had their wreck(which was a 70 mph tire blow that caused them to flip- but thankfully they are o.k) so of course,I have went back and forth on trying to do a gift guide -I mean usually this post goes up in July and he we are in October if that shows you where I am at on the grand scheme of things. I have totally been out of the review loop, but I have started to actually get some pretty decent pitches. However, this year I am NOT planning to over do it- I am going to stick with 2-4 items at a time and just see how that goes! I mean if it is something super awesome I won't turn it down, but I cannot go on the scale I did 2 years ago- which was … [Read more...]
A VERY MUCH do ALL the THINGS Friday!
today is DO ALL THE THINGS day! First of all it is Friday, then it is the last day David is working until after Thanksgiving... and then.... he has a concert tonight so I'll have a ton of extra time to fill! And .. since I won't have any alone time for a while I am trying to take full advantage of it! Wed I had a pretty awesome day- I woke up and felt darn great- considering I haven't felt all that smashing since before the time changed ( girly stuff. migraines. earaches.. you know how it is with me lol= oh and my crazy eye has been acting up a bit since I got some fuzz in it 2 or 3 weeks back.. ) Anyways, I worked up my coupon deal for CVS and got some things done in the house and my mom and I went out and got that done.. I don't know I just felt so darn good that day... Then yesterday I woke up with a small random headache and it wasn't enough to really even take advil. Next thing I knew I was nauseous and having weird tummy pain.. and threw up.. and with me throwing up just … [Read more...]
A cat eating cake ;)
Hey Everyone So... Last week I felt like I had a cold coming on, and with being right at the tail end of my girly stuff.. I was like yah, sure it would go down like this lol. I ended up getting some elderberry zicam drops at walmart and they really helped. I used to use a clear liquid zicam that you could mix in your drink..but they quit making it.. anyways.. hopefully I can get back with life for a few days.. I say a few days because David is supposed to be off all next week for thanksgiving.. Though he might end up working Monday/Tuesday/Wed but i'm not really sure.. I told him that it wasn't like we'd be doing anything other than going to my grandmas on Friday so.. if he really wants to sit around the house for an entire week and weekend.. thats up to him - which really thats like 2 weekends ughhh lol. So about going to my grandmas. I pretty much HAVE to go. I mean I WANT to go but my travel anxiety is all over the charts this go around.. like yesterday I was o.k and today i'm … [Read more...]
Cvs Haul This Week! #CVS #Couponing #couponinghaul (November 10th-17th)
SO I went to CVS on ... Tuesday but since i was behind on getting up my planning post, I went ahead and delayed my haul post...*sigh* one of these days i'm gonna get back into some sort of "schedule'" lol <3 Bless My Heart right? So Without Further Ado.. Here it is .. This weeks CVS Haul: Everything Went Pretty Well (Both Transactions-Tide/Gain as 1 and Joah . as the 2nd) I did have one tide digital liquid $2 that didn't want to attach... The BIG tide also was not $15.29 it was $16.99 which put my total up a little bit- but since I had accounted for taxes @ $2 it didn't really affect things too awful much. Also, for some reason my $10 cash card thing didn't print- and that had to be forced for some reason? If you want my break down- Check out this post: Coupon Plans For This Week: CVS November 10-17 #cvs #couponing (Like I say Everything went to plan except the price of the tide, and that digital coupon they took it off manually) I also still owe you all a post … [Read more...]
Good GRIEF I have got to get back into things..
Hey Everyone Well.. I just wanted to check in.. I'm trying to pop up a few posts while I have a few minutes! I have been totally wiped out with Girly stuff the last few days... and then of course the blasted time changed last week so.. I'm all kinds of messed up! I went out and about with my mom and already couponed this week, but I wanted to get up that planning post so I just went ahead and did it.. that way I can generate some content you know? I mean that one week I did super awesome in the house even though I had that stupid migraine.. It wiped me out most of that week.. then the next I did a ton of stuff online even though I had ear pressure and ovulation from heck.. The next two weeks though? HA I have been just a hot mess lol.. but sometimes it is like that.. I know I'm not probably going back out with my mom this week even though I had an additional deal I could do..but it is all good either way.. I got until Saturday if I do choose to go do it. We had a death in the … [Read more...]
Coupon Plans For This Week: CVS November 10-17 #cvs #couponing
This week i'm all about the Cash Card Deal. ANY time they are doing cash cards vs extrabucks I will work out a deal- There are several reasons that I actually prefer the cash cards , and I will actually make a separate post about that here in a bit! I am the same way with the Makeup Bag offers usually too... lol This is my Plan for this week... I have a spend $40 household CRT and a $3/12 Laundry CRT I am using - I am pretty sure that in the last week or two everyone has pretty much ended up with these CRT's.. I actually got them last week and this week! As A special note.. sometimes pairing 2 CRT's that have price thresholds- sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't- It just kind of depends.. so just know your mileage might vary! If you don't have the CRT's above you should be able to still work out a decent deal with the spend $30 get $10 gift card! Another Note: I have been having tracking issues with these laundry/household deals the past 2 weeks , even though it says … [Read more...]
