Rite Aid Shop (no coupons needed/used)

Boy, it has been forever and a day since I last shared a shop with you all. I have not been shopping much these days and I'm "trying" to get back in the mode of things. Anyway, I decided I was going to try to hit up Rite Aid today and see what I could score. I did AWESOME!!! PLUS, I didn't EVEN use one single coupon!

Everything I got was on clearance for 75% off (Argonne).

Disinfectant wipes were $0.73 each! (No more wipes)

Paper plates were $0.88 each! (They had some plates left)

Plastic cups were $0.75 each! (They had some cups left)

Mechanical pencils were $0.37! (They had more pencils left and most of their school supplies that were on sale for school sales are now on clearance for 75% off. They had "mostly" girlie insulated lunch pails. )

I saved a total of $15.06! I spent, before tax, $5.07. Not too shabby for shopping without coupons! ☺

Thanks!

FREE Eyeglasses Today

Today, Friday, 9/30/2011, Coastal Contacts is offering up to 10,000 FREE pairs of glasses through their Facebook Page at 9AM EDT today. The FREE glasses will include a frame and standard 1.5 index lenses.

Okay, so this is what you will need to do:

*  Head over to the CoastalContacts.Com Facebook page and like them.
*  Get Code. You will need this code when placing your order today. The code will NOT work until 9 AM EDT.
*  Then, head on over to CoastalContacts.Com and register for an account NOW! Then, pick out several pairs of glasses (3-5). This is so you’ll have some back-ups if the pair you want sells out!
*  Have your prescription handy as you will need this for placing your order.

Keep in mind that if you have done this before, that there is a limit of only one per household. I did last year and  glasses came very quick. I highly recommend doing this if you are in need of some glasses. To be able to score some glasses for ONLY 15 BUCKS IS AWESOME (for the shipping and handling)!!

Zumba

I have shared with you lately of my new love, Zumba. I LOVE IT!!! I AM addicted, but trying VERY hard to ration myself. I don't want to wear out a good thing now. For those of you who have not experienced Zumba, but have wondered what it is. Well.......I'm not really sure either. :) To me, really, it feels like a big dance party. The class that I go to is ALL women. Yes, it is a women's only class. I LOVE that! Nothing against men, but, for me, I feel less self-conscious. There are women of all ages, shapes, sizes, and capabilities. I LOVE THAT!! One of the best things......NO MIRRORS! Oh, I feel so sorry for the people that have to see me do Zumba; now, I really don't want to have to see myself do it. ;)

Seriously, it is soooo fun! If you have been thinking about, give it a try. Once you get a taste, you will want more. :)

Anyway, here is a website that I use EVERYDAY to learn about Zumba in our area. Just go on over here and you can punch in your zip to see where and when classes are taught in your area. Some of them too you can get prices for the classes. Scope out the churches and community centers. Those, I found, are the cheapest that I have discovered.

You can get a lot of information from the Zumba website. Go check it out. There is a lot of info on there about Zumba. I feel it is very very informative.

Anyway, good luck and I would really love to hear what you think!

Good luck!

Cheryl

PS~I just learned that Zumba is Latin inspired.

Morning......

Hey all! I am so sorry that I have been MIA more and more lately. I am having a really hard time getting set in a new schedule with school starting and whatnot. Please be patient with me while I try to figure this all out. It really is super tough. Every minute of my day seems to be accounted for. I am even having to schedule work in too! :O It has been super tough. Anyway, I do want to let you all know that I do have another giveway coming up. I'm hoping that I can post it later today. It's a good one too!

I really do have a couple of kiddo stories I want to share with you. :)

Have a GREAT morning!
