FYI....

I am very lucky to have a ton of work on my desk right now. So, that is my main focus today and then I get to go have "Muffins with Mom" at my daughter's school today. So, I don't know how much I am going to be able to look for great deals. Once again I am sorry, but my work has to come first today. As it is, I did NOT make my monthly budget last month.....:( So, I REALLY need to make up for it this month......

Have a GREAT day!!

Jung Kim's Martial Arts Spokane

Hey, I had to print out some forms, for my daughter, online from her TKD school (Jung Kim's Martial Arts), and I came across this awesome video. Last year, I don't know if you heard about it, but we (Jung Kim's Martial Arts) held a fundraiser, the break-a-thon, to raise funds for a local charity. This is something that they do every three years. Anyway, if you remember Shriners was having a bunch of talks about closing and whatnot (sad sad discussion). Anyway, Jung Kim's Martial Arts had picked Shriners to be the ones to benefit from the fundraiser. So, the kids (just my son, from our family) raised money and for a certain amount that they raised then they got to break boards. It was our first time doing this ever and it was sooooo fun to go watch. The demo team (the best) performed and it was amazing. Did you know that the Sheriff is a black belt? We didn't. So, we got to see him break a board too! Anyway, I think the kids raised around $38,000 and all of that got donated to Shriners! That is AWESOME!! Anyway they have a really cool video of some of what was done.

There is a part on the video of a guy breaking LOT of boards, one right after another. He is tall, short short short hair, and reallly long legs (hence the being tall). That is the kids' instructor and man he is AWESOME!!! Then, there is the older Asian fellow that is breaking the bricks....that, my friends, is Master Kim. He is the actual owner and mastermind behind Jung Kim's Martial Arts.

If you are looking for a TKD school. This is a really GREAT school. Our kids have really benefitted from this program. They have learned so much. I love the self-confidence it helps to build in them. Anyway, I highly recommend this school. If you want here is the contact info....

 I hope you enjoy the video!

Rite Aid Run

What a day......I had planned on going to three different stores today, but was only able make it to Rite Aid. Long story....I kept my daughter, Faith, home today 'cause I was thinking she was fighting some kind of UTI or something. So, I made her an appointment to go see her doctor, plus she had some sort of swelling on her gums. Well, after going to the doctor and making an unplanned trip to the dentist (just stopping by to see if we could make her an appointment to get her looked at). She came home with a bladder infection and one less tooth. They pulled her tooth! :( I must say she sure is one heck of a trooper. I took it harder than she did. There's nothing like trying to keep it together for her and then turning my back to cry. I know I have said this before, but I REALLY REALLY REALLY DO DISLIKE TAKING THEM TO THE DENTIST MORE than they dislike going. :( I must say that kids are ahhhMAZING!!! ☺

Anyway, we just headed out to Rite Aid after that as we REALLY needed some milk. Here's what we did.....

Transaction #1

Gallon milk $2.69 X2

TOOP before tax was $0.04. Tax was $1.39. Plus, I got back (1) $5 +UP from the Gillette razor. AND, I got back another $3/15 after I take the survey. (I made money on this)!

**I did want to tell you that she did have to push my Nabisco coupon through. It kept beeping at her, but she went ahead and pushed it through. There is no size restriction on the coupon.

Oh, and by the way they have their single Nature Valley Granola bars on clearance for $0.39. You can use $0.50/2 from the 5/1 SS or the $0.75/2 from the 3/27 SS. Right? Making for some cheap bars.....

Albertsons Transaction Limits???

Hey, I just wanted to give you all a quick heads up from reader, Laura's, experience today at Albies regarding her doublers. Here's what she had to say.....

Just went to Albertsons on Grand and 37th (south hill Spokane). As I was preparing to break up my order to use my doublers (3 per transaction), the checker told me I no longer needed to do that! ALSo.. I only handed her 9 doublers and she just started doubling for EVERY coupon I had as long as it wasn't over $1.00 - in other words, granting me MORE than the 9 doublers i had..... I asked her if that was the policy and she said yes.... I am skeptical. I still made a haul for this trip 62% savings. Not bad...


Niice!! Any of you had this experience?

Thanks so much for sharing Laura!

Albertsons Ice Cream Deal

Update: Hey, I just wanted to let you know that a reader did try this too, and the deal did NOT work for her. I'm not sure why, as the Cat runs until 5/10. :( So, you may or may not want to give this a try........

Hey, I wanted to give you all a heads up, who are in the valley here. My friend and reader called me up to let me know that there is an AWESOME ice cream deal at Albertsons on Argonne and Trent. They have their Breyers ice cream on "clearance" 2 for $3. And, guess what?! They are still producing the $4 Cat when you buy two of them, making for some REALLY cheap ice cream. She said they were running kinda low, so you'd better hurry if you want some. ☺

Thanks Angie!
