Happy Halloween Savings Spooktacular!!!

Happy Halloween!!!  After today all things scary will be on sale to get out of the way for x mas stuff!! My plan is to check out all costumes for my kids for dress ups and for next years spooky festivities!!  This year my daughter's costume, purchased by my mom after Halloween, was only about $4!  So go check out Walmart, Kmart and all other popular stores and see what savings you can scare up.  I know I will.  : )

Sugarland CD only $10.15 at Borders

 I recieved an e mail from Borders Bookstore because I have a rewards card with them and have registered my e mail address.  They e mailed me a 40% off any cd coupon good til today.  I have recieved them before and never taken advantage of them before but my daughter and I love the new Sugarland song "stuck like glue", and whenever we get in the car she asks me to put the song on, which is impossible if you don't have it.  You just have to hope you hear it on the radio.  Well with my new coupon I decided to take her and get the newly released cd.  It just came out a day or so ago.  It's original price was 16.99 and I bought it for only $10.15.  Lucky for me I am one of the few that still read actual books and listen to "ancient" CD's.  I do not have a kindle or IPOD and do not see myself owning one in the near future.  So I will still be doing my shopping at Border's etc.  and taking advantage of the great new deals since everything now has gone digital via internet. etc.  If you are like me register your email and get in on their great coupon savings.!!

On a side note, I did browse their kids section and they had some great bargain prices especially when it came to the kids kits and crafts and baby/toddler books.  I will be in there next month for christmas gifts for sure! : ) 

I'm already thinking about Black Friday Shopping!!!

So I know it is only October but I am super pumped about the possibility of great finds and sales for Black Friday shopping!!  I think my husband has to work that day so I'm probably only gonna go out for a couple hours of the early morning before he has to leave for work but I at least want to hit Target or Walmart or Kohls!!  before he has to leave for work.  I don't know what store I will try to get to but I found a site that you can register your e mail address with and they will notify you when the Black Friday ads you are interested in are released!!!!  Super cool huh? : )  So go here to get your updates!

Men's Nivea bodywash only .97 cents at walmart!!

Sunday's paper had a high value, $3.00 off coupon for men's Nivea body wash.  They are priced the best at Walmart for only $3.97.  So that means you get them for only .97 cents!!  I bought two because I had bought two papers and had two coupons.  I did do a price comparison with CVS theirs is priced at over $4.00.  So definitely go to Walmart for this deal.  Take advantage of this fast because there were only a couple left at my local walmart.

More walmart matchups!

Go to www.disneymovierewards.com and register with their program to earn points and receive special offers.  I just got a $5.00 coupon off of a beauty and the beast combo pack, in my e mail inbox!! Perfect for the holidays!!

saved $23.00 at CVS!

I needed diapers and body wash and had some great CVS coupons.  First I had a CVS coupons for $5.00 off $25.00 purchase, then a $2.00 value of extra care bucks (same as cash at cvs).  I received my $5.00 coupon from www.cvs.com e mail newsletter.  You can register with them online and put your CVS card number into their system and they will e mail you coupons and when you login online you can "redeem your green" as they put it, and get your extra care bucks.  So those first two coupons take $7.00 off of a $25.00 purchase right off the bat.  They had Pampers diapers 20 packs 8.99 ea.  I had two pampers coupons, one for 1.75 off and one for 1.00 off.  Next I used my soft soap body wash coupon for 75 cents off.  And the best part of that was that their soft soap body wash was BOGO!!! so for only 4.29 I got two large sized soft soap body washes!! I won't need them now for a while! : )  They also had my husbands SURE deodorant on sale for only $1.99.  And my little girl with me wanted a pack of candy for 1.50.  So I spent only $20.00 for all of this! YAY and at the end of my receipt it said YOU SAVED $23.00 THIS VISIT (with sales and coupons!)

Great coupon site!!

This is a great website to go to for various coupons on toothbrushes, toothpaste, body wash, hand soap and even deodorant.  I was looking for a body wash coupon and stumbled upon it. 

Huggies coupons! printing more than one good coupon!

If you go to http://www.coupons.com/ you can get a 3.00 off coupon for any 2 packs of Huggies diapers.  I thought this is a good one especially if I can later find a Target store coupon for some huggies to stack with it!! I loooove doing that.  Another thing is that if you like this coupon you can print it more than once just refresh the page after printing, go back to the coupon page it was on and select to print again, it will let you do that till they say you have reached your limit.  I looove this too!!!
Another way to get multiple GOOD coupons is to have more than one e mail address.  (or use your husbands LOL)  Cause sometimes all they want is a new place to send some info/special offers and future coupons in exchange for a their coupon.  I have done this with lactaid.  My son is lactose intolerant and so I usually buy walmarts brand if I can't get a lactaid  coupon in the inserts or online.  http://www.lactaid.com/ will give you up to two or three coupons per e mail you register with them.  And a few months later you can redo it and they will give you more again.
Good luck!

New consignment finds!!

Hi!!  It has been a great month for finding consignment options both for selling and buying gently used items at great prices!!! First I found the Totswap.  You can check them out at their website http://www.totswap.net/ or if you do not live in the area they "consign" throughout than you can google words such as consignment, children's consignment shops or stores and add your town's name i.e.  "consignments frederick, md".  This way you can join in on the fun of consigning too! 
As I was suggesting earlier, the Totswap is a consignment system that "travels" from site to site.  I believe they rent out or find new places each season to hold their sales.  They run on weekends and the consignors, that would be you and I, register with them online or by mail.  You will find that information on their website.  Once yo are registered and receive your consignors number you can round up all of your great kids/maternity clothes, decor, items etc.  and put them into the online tagging system.  Once you are finished you print out your tags, place them on your items and drop them off at your allotted drop off time/place.  I did participate and I made $94.00!!!  Not a huge amount but very good for little work and help getting rid of some unneeded items.  You can also shop there for kids clothes, toys, furniture, room decor, costumes etc.  All in ll it was a great experience and when they come my way again in the spring I will participate again!!

My next find was of Plato's closet.  You can go to http://www.platoscloset.com/ to find one near you.  They are a consignment shop for the teen's and twenty's for hip new styles.  They are very picky about what they accept and they pay you on the spot for your items.  Which is different than most consignment stores where you have to wait for your items to sell in order to receive a check.  There will be on opening up in Frederick md. soon and I will be checking it out ASAP!!!
