Hey all.....

Hey everyone. So, I have been dropping little hints here and there this past month that I have been working super duper extra hard so my family and I can go on vacation. Well, the time is here. I am sooo excited, although I am SUPER tired. I have been getting up at 2 (if I sleep in then 3) in the morning to work and I have not had a day off in 21 days! Yah, I'm a bit pooped. I'm thinking I REALLY earned this vacation! ☺ Anyway, when I finish up this post I am finally going to jump in the shower today and get myself cleaned up to to the store and spend some Up Rewards that are going to be expiring tomorrow on a few things for the road. We have a long ride ahead of us as we are going to my home state of Wyoming. Anyway, then I'm off for the week. I'm am fully taking this week off. I really need this time with my family as they have been so neglected by me this past month, as I have been working so much. Thank goodness for my husband, my older son, and my in-laws (and my two littlest people). They have all been a GREAT help. We knew that this was going to happen so we were prepared, but I'm not sure my body was.

Anyway, I am soooo stoked about this trip as we are taking it with my momma, my dad, and my husband and kids. It's gonna be a caravan-type thing. We've got walkie talkies and all kinds of fun stuff. Anyway, we are headed out to go see my grandpa. He is getting up there in age and I want my kids to spend some good quality time with him. You  know? Make some memories? My grandpa is 94 and a BIG BIG love of my life! Anyway, we are going to see him for a few days and then we will come back home through Yellowstone! It's going to be so fun, hot (90º), and stinky (sulfur smell in Yellowstone).

Anyway I hope you all have a great week and I can't wait to come back and share some AWESOME stories with you all!

Rambling.....

Okay, so I just am amazed. I was just checking out myhabit.com this morning. Don't know why I even bother, 'cause every time I try to go get a deal I'm too slow and what I want is out. :( It's a challenge, I guess, and I kinda like challenges. :) I laugh every time. One of these days I will score a deal!!! ☺

Anyway, I never ever look at the women's stuff as it is WAAAAAYYYYY OVER BUDGET for me! Yep, as you all know I'm cheap frugal. Right? Well, I just thought I would check out the women's stuff today just for some entertainment. I must have bad taste because this stuff is expensive and......well....to put it nicely....not something that I would find myself wearing (not to mention that none of it would probably fit my "curvy" physique, ☺if you get my drift).

Anyway, I ran across something that I wanted to share with you. Just look at this, would ya?!

THAT IS ON SALE FOR $1,149. IT WAS $3.599!!!!!! WHAT??!!!! SERIOUSLY, IT'S SOLD OUT!!!! Okay, it is not bad lookin', but REALLY $1,149?!!! ANNNNNND.........SOMEBODY (IES) BOUGHT AND PAID FOR IT AT $1,149!!!!

The things that I could do for $1,149!

Maybe that just makes me outright CHEAP! I dunno, but $1,000! Wow!

Anyway, just thought I would share with you what I saw this morning.

Thanks for listening/reading! ☺

Lots of work

Ugh, I still have a TON of work to do. I am trying to get caught up as I am a bit behind and trying to make my monthly budget by the end of this week. Ugh..........is all I have to say. I have worked 14 days straight with no day off. It's crazy. I put in full days this past weekend. I have been up since 2:30 this morning (yah, I have had to little cat naps so far). I am a bit tired, but I keep thinking about being able to go on vacation starting this weekend. It will be soooooo nice and we are very much looking forward to it! ☺This week is going to be a LONNNNNNG week for me. I need to get out and do some doubler shopping this evening (can't have those go to waste), I have got to try to get up to Greenbluff and get some Cherries (FYI...they are $1.50 a pound this week at Fred Meyer, which is an AWESOME price), get packed, and then buy little things that we may need for the road. I am going into this with the right mind that I am going to eat "right." I have to remember that when I don't well then I'm a bit tired and uh, depending on what I eat, well.......need to be next to a toilet (can't have that when you're on the road). I bought some stuff yesterday at WW for the road "just in case," but plan on taking plenty of fruits and raw veggies. On top of all of that, I have to finish up my work.☺ Needless to say, I will be getting up at 2:30 tomorrow morning too, if not 2:00.

Anyway, I am having a hard getting on here and finding some good deals.

I just wanted to give you a heads up.

Have a GREAT day!

Enjoy that sunshine wherever you may be.

Local-Payless Shoes

Hey, I just wanted to give you all a heads up that I was in at Payless on Sprague (in the valley) this morning and the gal in there is offering up a $3 coupon TODAY ONLY to be used on ANYTHING!!! I was able to get a pair of shoes/sandles for Blakey that were normally $19.99 on clearance for $10, then with the coupon made them $7!!!

Good luck!

Heads up for Capri Sun at Safeway

I was in there yesterday buying some Capri Sun with the $1/3 coupon (NLA) that I printed. Well, I discovered that my Safeway had pealies attached to the boxes for Save $1 when you buy 1 Roarin' Waters and 2 Capri Sun. That's just the same as the $1/3 that is NLA! The only difference is that you need to buy 1 of the Roarin' Waters Capri Sun.

Just remember to play nice and not take the pealies off of the items you are not purchasing. :)

Anyway, good luck!

Cheryl

Heads up for Rite Aid

Just a quick heads up. If you are looking to roll some rewards at Rite Aid this week (TODAY), they have the little boxes (I think 4-ct) of Whitman's Chocolates (regular and sugar-free), Russell Stover on sale for 2 for $3. Then, you get a $1 +UP FOR EACH ONE!

The real awesome thing is depending on what your discount is, your discount comes off too! As far as know, there are no limits. I could be wrong. Let's just say......I bought quite a few (there were still plenty on the shelf) and ALL of my Ups printed.

So, you can do this.....

Whitman's Chocolates $1.50 X2
-discount (mine is 20%)
=As low as $1.27
Plus, get back (2) $1 +UP Rewards, making mine ONLY $0.27!

This really isn't too bad if you need to roll some Ups!

Thanks!

Cheryl

Thanks Mavin of Savin'!

PS-This IS a different link from the other day. So, if you printed the coupon the other day for $1/3, you will be able to print this one too. :)

Today, is one of those days where I have  TON of work (yay), so I need to put my focus on my work.

Anyway, I apologize, but I need to do this. I will try to get here just as soon as I can.

I hope you all had a GREAT weekend and have a GREAT Monday. Don't forget to get your FREE slurpie today! ☺

Walmart Run

So, I packed the kiddos up this morning and we headed for Walmart and found a TON of goodies (maybe too many), but it was fun. Then, I "bribed" them and told them that if they were good that we would go somewhere "special" for lunch. So, needless to say they were VERY good. Here's what we picked up. We were in need of frozen treats. I love to have these on-hand during summer months for my little peeps. Now, they think I'm the GREATEST which, of course, I LOVE and makes my head swell. ;)

And, yes that is KFC (or KFG as it says on the cup?) you see in the background. That was their "special" lunch as I had the coupon for B1G1 free two-piece meal. The two younger ones had never been there before and I heard they had baked chicken, so that was their special treat. They were tickled, and I figured it out and it only cost me $1.67 per child for lunch. ☺I must say I felt like I was a "dirty" girl for walking into that place; nothing against it. It's just that it has been 2 1/2 years since placing my foot in the doors of a fast food joint. I still did not get anything for myself, so I did good, but I feel kinda guilty.

Verdict-My boys will eat ANYTHING! Faith, "I don't like this chicken. It's disgusting."

Something a "little" exciting for The Frugal Life of a Mom....

So, I did not share with you all that Stephanie Clifford, a reporter, from the NY Times called and interviewed me last week as a result of my post about the Walmart gas rollback. She covers the retail industry for the New York Times. Anyway, very very nice lady and good interview. I seriously didn't even know if I gave her anything that she could use as we cannot take part in the promo here, but she said I did. Well, I didn't know if she "really" meant that or whether she simply was just trying to be nice. Well, guess what??!!! I can now add "featured in the NY Times" to my credentials! ☺

Here is her article. It is a long article, but you will see MY name and MY blog name towards the middle of the article.

Anyone know how I can get a printed version of July 4th NY Times?

Wow! Thanks Stephanie!

Well.....

we have the dreaded checkups at the dentist this morning for the kiddos. :( Yes, I'm the one complaining. If there was EVER one responsibility of being a parent that I NEVER had to do, well.....it would be taking the kids to the dentist. I dislike it with every bone in my body! It's really not my cup of tea. :( Now, the kids, they seem to do okay, but not me. It seems that it never fails that we always get some type of bad news. Then, I feel like it is all my fault that these things happened to their poor little chompers. I feel like the worst mother in the world. I'm tellin' you EVERY time I go in I am on the verge of crying a river. Now, I try not to show my kids my fear and I think I'm pretty good at it as they fear their family physician more than the dentist. Now, I think that is backwards. ☺ They would rather go to the dentist than the doctor, huh?

Anyway, I will be out most of the morning with my kiddos at their appointment. Pray for us that we make it back with GOOD news this time. ☺

Okay, I'll talk to you later....

Mornin'......

I hope you all had a wonder 4th of July! My family and I sure did. We got a lot of stuff done around the house that needed done. Kind of a low-key weekend, but VERY nice.

I did feel sorry for our poor little doggie though. This is the first year we have had her for the 4th of July. Although fireworks are illegal in our city, there happen to be a few people that still light up the sky with them. Well, she was so super scared. I felt so sorry for her. She would hear them out side and run and hide behind my husband. Poor thing. We would try to comfort her and try to make her more comfortable, but she was just not having any of that. So, needless to say she didn't have a very good 4th.

Now, it's back to work for the rest of us.......

Talk to you later....
