Product Comments

Just wanted to give you a heads up that so far, I have received a coupon from Texas Toast, Kettle Chips, and a coupon booklet from SC Johnson.

Today, we are going to contact....

Chinet~ (Gosh, I absolutely love their stuff). ~ I wanted to share with you that my family and I really appreciate your products. We really like your cups. I love the fact that we can put our drinks in the cup and do not have to worry about the cup leaking. Thank you for such a great product! Cheryl

Thanks!

Cheryl

By the way.....

I am out the majority of the day. I get to go volunteer in my daughter's class today, so I am out. Please let us know if you come across any good deals. We would love to hear.

Thanks and happy shopping!

Monday Weigh-In Report

Well, it's Monday again and time for the weigh-in report. Well, one positive thing came out of my weigh-in, AND ONLY one positive thing, and that was the fact that I DIDN'T weigh-in last week. I think that would have been more scary.

I gained 14.8 pounds!!! It must have been a good 20 pounds the week before, as I DID do the plan (somewhat) last week.

This week I am starting the training plan of the C25K Running program. I have never done this program as I have always done the running stuff on my own, but have never ran a whole 5K. I have always walked a little. So, this year, I am going to do the 5K that I have done the past two years and this time I am going to run the whole thing. So, I'm hoping with this training plan I can do it and get my butt back on the wagon. Boy, Christmas REALLY threw me for a loop. I am so sad because I did so good the weeks before. Then, I let myself get derailed.

Well, as they say that is all "water under the bridge." There is NOTHING standing in my way now. So, time to quit whining AGAIN and get back to work!

Today is a new day and I can't do ANYTHING about what I ALREADY did to get myself 14.8 pounds back, but I CAN do something about getting it back off. So, here we go........

Thanks!

Cheryl

PS-The C25K program is a program that is designed to get just about anyone from the Couch to running a 5K in or 30 minutes in JUST nine weeks! They have lots of great info on their website. Anyone wanna join me in doing this? I would love to make this a topic of discussion! I am doing my first training session tonight on my treadmill. Their website does have a lot of great info, if you are interested in this. Just go on over here to check it out. The best part....IT'S FREE!!!

Another Special K BOGO Coupon

Yay, just go on over here and you can print this coupon for B1G1 Free Special K coupon (up to $4.49 value).

You can use this this week at Rite Aid with their B1G1 free Special K cereal. I think you end up paying like $0.30 because their cereal is priced at $4.79. Since the coupon is only valid for up to $4.49, then you have to pay the difference from "their" price (the store's price) and the amount of maximum value of the coupon. Not too shabby.

Anyway, if you are new to this, Rite Aid is having a sale on their Special K Cereal right now. The sale is Buy 1 Get one free (B1G1 free). So, per their coupon policy, you can take this coupon for B1G1 free and pair it up with the sale, making them both free (or $0.15 each in our case). This works because the B1G1 free sale is done through Rite Aid, meaning that Rite Aid is paying for the "free" one. Then, you hand your coupon over for the one that "you" are paying for and give that to them, then the manufacturer is paying for the "other" one that you are getting free. So, then you end up getting them both for free!!

Thanks Mojo Savings!

Today

I have to take my two little ones back into the dentist. We went yesterday to have a checkup and it was NOT good. I can tell you that I don't like going to the dentist myself, but I think I dread taking my kids to the dentist more than I don't like going myself. I just never know what we are going to come away with. I always tell my husband that he should have to take off of work and take them. :) It's wayyyyy stressful for me! I'm always ready to breakdown and cry. I know it may sound kind of silly, but I just REALLY can't stand it. I'm sure most of you feel this way. I can't really say that I have met ANYONE that says "I like going to the dentist," or even "I like taking my kids to the dentist." I think that would be way too wierd.

Anyway, I am headed back in this morning with my two littlest people. BOTH HAVE TO HAVE CROWNS DONE! So, I have been working like MAD this morning to help reach my daily budget for work, and then I will be out most of the day. This appointment is supposed to take a VERY LONG TIME. Maybe I'll lose a couple of pounds from all the sweat that will pouring out of my body due to MASSIVE heartbreak. Gross, I know, but hey you never know. You know how we like to save a buck? Well, I REALLY would like to shed a pound or two without having to work for it. :)

I can't believe Trent (my oldest) had PERFECT teeth! Yay, for that.

Well, I can predict that Blakey is going to be pretty ticked when he finds out that he can't have lunch around lunchtime. :( That boy wants his lunch when it's lunchtime, by golly! He was pretty ticked last time when he had fillings and then he couldn't eat for a little while 'cause he was numb. So, it will be interesting what this brings out of him today. Faith is just so quiet and just goes with the flow, so I know she will be okay. Although, she is VERY aware of what is hapenning today, so she is quite a bit nervous. I feel really sorry for her. :(

Okay, so have a GREAT day and get some "frugal," good shopping in for me too, k?

Thanks!

Cheryl

Tassimo Brewbot

Okay, so I was checking this thing out. At first I thought it was kinda spendy, but upon looking at it a little further I'm thinking ..........................that if you are "hot" drink kinda person and you love your hot drinks like:  Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, espressos, lattes, etc., then, I'm thinking the Tassimo Brewbot might just be for you. It does all of that and then some.

Tassimo is a home-delivery coffee service. You can order this Brewbot for $99.95 (that's $30 off of the suggested retail price), plus with this you get your choice of two FREE packages of T Discs, AND your shipping and handling for this particular introductory offer is FREE! For a total savings of 50 bucks! (Of note, it does look like there may be applicable taxes).

So, if you decide you like this kind of service they will just keep shipping coffee to you every month and automatically charge your card, but if you don't want to keep this service you can cancel at ANYTIME. So, there is NO COMMITMENT. You can go right on over here if you want to take a look at it and more details.

Thanks!

Cheryl
