A wee bit of an explanation!

Sooo....you may have noticed...or you may not have :)....that I have not posted anything in quite some time. I have a good excuse(besides the fact that my computer keyboard has been broken)! I am busy (boys cover your eyes) making a placenta. That's right. I am knocked up and it is wiping me out. To top it all off, Owen is still nursing and still will not take a bottle/sippy cup. So....I feel as though I am being sucked dry inside and out! :) Couponing has taken a bit of a back seat as a result and I am okay with that. I do bust out a few coupons here and there for needed items at Winco or Target. But long gone are the days of walking to RiteAid to snag a deal or 'swinging' by CVS/Walgreen's. I am just too pooped! I am hoping that in a couple weeks this exhaustion will be long gone and I will have some bit of energy back again! But....until then....happy couponing without me....I am a bit busy and in need of a nap! :)

P.S. In case you didn't see it on Facebook, we are due October 14th....which puts me at about 10 weeks....right in the middle of the icky/exhaustion phase....wa-hoo! :)

Free Chick-fil-A

Tomorrow, Friday, is a great day to eat at Chick-fil-A! Anything you purchase from noon-10pm you can get for free later on in the month! Mike and I stumbled across this deal on random a couple months ago and we couldn't believe it when they told us....but it is true! Anything on your receipt from tomorrow you can get for FREE! So go enjoy some yummy Chick-fil-A! :)

Free Body Wash at Target

You can get these body washes for FREE(actually a bit of a money maker) at Target! They are on price cut right now for $1.72 a piece and you can use the $4 off 2 coupon from a couple weeks back! I know I also have a couple $2 off 1 coupons too! At the Rosedale Target they are near the south endcap in a special section in the soap aisle! Good luck!

P.S. These are yet another GREAT item to donate if you don't think you will use them! I know mine went straight to the Hope Center bag! :) Also, don't forget about the 2 trial size Rightguard deoderant you can get for free too....another great item to donate!

Target deals/advice

I went to Target yesterday, by myself!!!!, since my mom was here to watch Owen and came across some GREAT deals! Here is some of what I found


HUGE box of Quaker instant oatmeal (30 count) on clearance for $3.48 (regular price $6.99) plus I had a coupon for $1 off any box of instant oatmeal making it only $2.48 for all 30! Plus they had the lower sugar variety available!

I also found Rimmel nail polish on clearance for $1.74 (good colors too) which paired nicely with a $1 off any Rimmel coupon I had from awhile ago!


FREE deoderant. Use the $2 off 2 Rightguard deoderant coupon and buy the $.97 trial size ones. Perfect to give to the Hope Center or save for your husband when traveling.

Here is my advice on Target. Travel the outside perimeter of the store. At least at the Rosedale one, all the good clearance is set up on the back endcaps. I just always make it a point to shop from the outside in so I see all the clearance items available to me. That is how I discovered the Oatmeal and the nail polish this time!

FREE 8x10 @ Walgreens

Tomorrow, you can get a free 8x10 print at Walgreens! Go to http://www.walgreens.com/topic/photo/thursday.jsp to print off your coupon! :) Can't wait to get mine!
