oh Thanksgiving

Well Thanks giving is tomorrow. It kinda snuck up on me this year. Our carpet is being put in and the roofers are coming as well today. We are going to my mom's tonight for a Thanksgiving Eve :) dinner. Don't ask you won't understand. But anyways looking forward to it. I'm sure by tomorrow night I won't even beable to look at food. Mom and I have decided not to go shopping on Friday. There just wasn't any deals good enough to get us out of bed. I can't believe how soon Christmas will be here. This weekend we are putting in floor molding and moving furniture if anyone wants to help :) and going to a birthday party. I can't wait for all the furniture to be moved. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.

Deal of the Day: This week hasn't been very good on sales. Meijer and Kroger both had very similar sales last week. So if you didn't use your coupons last week go this week. I just remembered! Now this is kinda a rumor and not all stores are doing it. But some Kmarts are doubling coupons this weeked. So hopefully there are some good deals. I'm sorry to all those people that don't have Kmarts :(

soooo tired

Today was such a long day. My mom came up and we went shopping. We had rain checks and coupons to use. We ended up getting 14 free duncan hines cake mixes. Can't be that. They weren't out with the carrot cake until today they were on the shelves. We also got more cookie mix and hefty bags. I am fully stocked now and think I plenty of cookies for the holidays. I'm actually making some in between typing. We also went to Meijer. I got salad dressing free and marinades for practically nothing. I also got stuff for the game tomorrow. We are going to Lancaster to watch the Holiday parade with my parents. Then Matt's family is coming up for the game. I'm looking forward to the game. Of course I enjoy watching OSU play but this is vs.Michigan which is a much bigger deal. But anyways I have had such a long day of going here and there. Doing this or that. As soon as my last batch of cookies come out I'm off to bed. Hopefully tomorrow will be more relaxing.

Check out Matthew's blog for his latest milestone.

Deal fo the Day: Duncan Hines cake mixes are on sale $10 for 10 at Kroger. There are coupons for $1 off Duncan Hines Carrot cake mix. Which makes them free :) yummy...

RIP laptop

Well my computer is pretty much done for. Luckily Matt is leaving his personal laptop at home for me. I don't think I posted for the last couple of days. Sunday we pretty much hung around the house. Matt's dad came up to help Matt put up the crown molding. They knocked it out in just a couple of hours. Matt finished cocking and it looks really nice. I'm hoping the carpet comes in on Friday. Later that night we went out and did some things. We went to Jcpenny to get the cordless blinds for the loft. When we got there we bought the ones that Matt said would fit. But for some reason his measurements said that the window was 80in tall. Obviously that wasn't right. When we got home he realized he was reading the door measurements. There for the blinds didn't work. VERY FRUSTRATING!!! So Monday I went to return the blinds and it turned into such a long day. I went to Eastland and I was there 30 minutes before Jcpenny even opened. But they have a really nice indoor play area for kids. Kinda like the one at Tuttle but closer to us. Since it was so early there was only old people doing their morning walks. I'll definitly remember that when Matthew starts running around and gets ansy in the winter. Anyways they didn't have our size blinds in stock. I called so many stores but no one could give me a straight answer. So I went to so many stores looking for them. Then I decide to go to Lancaster because we had planned to go down there later anyways. But no luck. By this time it really started to snow. I started at 8am and didn't stop running around until 3ish. I was so done. Matthew and I hungout at my moms till 7ish. Then we met Matt at his parent's house. It was his dad's b-day. His mom made chicken alfredo and cake. Unfortunatly by 9p I was getting really tired and had to head home. The weather was bad off and on. But on the plus side Matthew slept the whole way. I went to bed right away but couldn't sleep. It was around 3am I thought to myself "why am I so awake". Then I remembered I had a coke at my mom's. Yeah that's what pop, soda, or coke does to me :) Anyways Matthew's teeth have been bothering him and he woke up at 6am. Just 2 hours after I fell asleep. He eventually fell back asleep and slept until 10 which I was so grateful for. So we have just been hanging around the house today. Matthew is getting really good at his walker. He'll chase me and run over the back of my feet.

Deal of the Day: This week kroger has steamers which are vegetables in the freezer section 10 for $10. There are coupons out there for 50 cents off 1. Which the Krogers around here double making each package of veggies FREE.

Spoke too soon

My computer isn't working AGAIN. This time I don't know what's going on. Anyways haven't been doing much but shopping, cleaning, and playing with Matthew. Hopefully I can get some laundry done today. Matt's dad is coming tomorrow to help put in the loft light and crown molding. Our carpet should be in on friday. Not much else is going on...

Deal of the Day: I went yesterday and got 10 bags of Betty crocker cookie mixes and 10 cans on evaporated milk for $2.

The coupon was 50 cents off 2 but they doubled to a dollar making them FREE.

Matthew's 1st Mickey Ears

My brother and his wife went to Disney earlier this ear. Of course they were thinking of Matthew and picked him up his first set of Mickey ears. They are so cute and even has his name on them. For new/more pics go to Matthew's website. Hopefully we can go to Disney before he out growes it. Thanks Aunt Crystal and Uncle Nick.

Deal of the Day: This week Kroger has Betty Crocker cookie mixes on sale for $1 each. There are coupons out there for 40 cents off. My Krogers doubles upto 99 cent coupons. So that makes each cookie mix 20 cents. I purchased 20 coupons off ebay for just a buck or two. With Christmas coming I'll be very busy baking cookies :)

Matt is officially AWESOME

The reason for the title is that my computer was busted and Matt fixed it. We both thought is wasn't repairable. He took it apart and did his magic and IT WORKS!! But we agreed that if he fixed it that he was officially awesome. Anyways I'm catching up on laundry today. Matt hadn't made me any detergent lately so the clothes were backing up. But Sunday Matt showed me how to make it and I made 4 batches. So my day is consisting of washing, drying, and folding.

Deal of the Day: This week Kroger has Hefty One Zip storage bags 10/$10 and there are coupons out there for 55 cents off. Krogers doubles coupons making each box of storage bags FREE. If you don't have the coupon from the paper you can usually buy them for next to nothing on the web.

Matthew has a new update at his website so check it out.

Long time no blog

Sorry haven't blogged much. Busy busy busy. Went to the JCPenny sale this morning. I had to take Matthew too because Matt had to go to some training. But he is a champ about shopping. I got there 30 minutes before they opened an the line was already really long. I mainly went to get a new vacuum for $30 and my mom needed one too. Matt put it together and it's very nice. But listening to everyone in the line apparently I wasn't the only one there for a vacuum. So I set Matthew up in the cart and Nana took him while I went to get the vacuums. I couldn't believe I got 2. There was people everywhere wanting vacuums. But anyways Matthew had a good time hanging with Nana in the drapes at a safe distance. Then Mom and I went to breakfast then went  to Meijer. They had Betty Crocker boxed potatoes $10 for 10. It wasn't in the advertisement but they were on sale. Mom and I had 35 cents off coupons. Double those and that makes each box 30 cents. I bought all different flavors. Matt was gone all day so Matthew and I just hung around the rest of the day. We were both a little tired through out the day since we both woke up before 7am. 

Deal of the Day: DO THIS DEAL!!! Go to http://www.ebates.com/ and sign up and get a FREE $10 gift card to Target, Circuit City, or just $5 in the mail. It's completely free no buying anything. All I ask is that you put my e-mail as a referral. Then we both get an extra $5 in the mail :) 

Busy day

I had a lot to do today. Unfortunatly I had no motivation so I got a late start. The weather was awful as well so that didn't help. Finally ordered the carpet. I went to order it the other day but they had to measure and stuff. But it is on it's way and should be installed within 2 weeks. Ran around with Mom then hung out a little so Matthew could visit with Dad. Didn't come home until 5ish and it was already really dark and raining a lot. Anyways I have to go to bed early for a sale tomorrow.

Deal of the Day: Tomorrow I am going to JCPenny Outlet to purchase some items on sale. On every JCPenny reciept there is a survey. If you do this survey you recieve coupons for 15% off your next purchase. So today I just went and purchased a 99 cent item to get a reciept. Then tomorrow I have my 15% off coupons.  Which will save me $$$. When you get a reciept ALWAYS check it for coupons. Even if they don't have coupons you like still look everytime. They change there offers. Now just because I got the reciept from the Outlet I can still use the 15% off anywhere. At the outlet, store, catalog, or internet.

Quick Deal

My mom called with a Free Dvd offer from Fisher Price. The link no longer worked but they had another dvd in it's place. My mom was able to order the other one but I ordered the new one. Hopefully the link works for you. There is a FREE DVD offer at the top. The dvd is free and is shipped for free. If the link doesn't work just google Free Fisher Price Dvds. That's how I found this link.

What a long day

My computer is still down so I'm on Matt's. Today wasn't very fun. Matthew and I woke up early but both got really tired after breakfast. I had to go to Meijer but decided to wait until after lunch. So we got all packed up and started driving. My car was make a slight noise in the back and I had a FLAT TIRE! I just had one last month. But this one is on the other side. Anyways roadside assistance came slowly. Walmart's wait was so long so I went to Meijer to kill time. I filled my perscription finally and spent my free $20. I also had 2 more $1 off coupons  at Meijer for any purchase. So I ended up paying like 60 cents for everything. Though they didn't have everything I needed. So after that I went to Walmart and the wait was still over an hour. So I wondered around a little and got a few Christmas gifts. The tire was able to be patched so that was great. My mom's coming up tomorrow cause I have a doctor's appointment. Hopefully tomorrow goes better than today.

I haven't been able to research new deals lately with my computer down. SORRY...

Update: this deal came in from my mom. Go to http://www.feedingisbelieving.com/believe/couponRegistrationForm.jsp to get a $5 off coupon at Petco for pet food

Stupid computer

As many have noticed I haven't been on lately. Well my computer is busted. We haven't decided on what action to take with it. I am typing this from my mother's house because Matt needs 2 laptops for work. WHATEVER! Anyways I have been very busy. I have picked out our carpet and am ordering it today. WOOHOO! But since we have pulled up the carpet my house is kind of a BIG mess. It's really bothering me but I know it will be back to normal soon. On the plus side it is warmer and gas is down to $1.96! I'm getting a little more excited about the holidays. I don't have that much wrapping left. The biggest portion is the Christmas party gifts which is a ton and I wrapped them back in September. So I will try to get on once a day when Matt gets home.

Deal of the Day: KROGER COUPONS- go to Kroger.com and use their P&G coupons which you load to your Kroger plus card. Or sign up for coupons or sale alerts. Since doing this I have recieved many discounts and coupons. This week they sent out coupon packs with FREE stuff. My mom got a free 12 pack of coke and I got a free 8 pack of gatorade. There are too many to remember. However each person receive different coupons but somes better than none.

weekend of work work work

This weekend was so busy. Matt and I did a ton of the remodeling. We did mostly material shopping and price comparison on Saturday. But even that took all day. I finished up all the painting. Matt  pulled up all the carpet with a little help from me. I will probably order the carpet sometime this week. I am really looking forward to it being finished. Matt and I both forgot about the time change. Matt woke up an hour early for a work thing and Matthew's meals were off a little. Matthew and I slept in until 10ish but technically it was 9ish :) so we woke up right on time. 

Deal of the Day: This is for people with a CARNIVAL FOODS. I think this is for most of the people in Lancaster. Anyways this week they have 50lbs of potatoes for $10. My mom and I are splitting a bag. Matt and I love bake potatoes. My mom and Matt both like fresh cute fries. Then there is also mashed potatoes. My mom also said that if you store your potatoes in a cool dark place they will last all winter.
