Friday the 13th...


Friday the 13th...
Was a great day for us! It however did have some ups and downs.

We started our day at Cabela's mostly walking around dreaming of all the fun camping and cooking gadgets they have.





We almost walked out without spending a dime but Callie worked her charm on her father and ended up with a shirt and hat.

Then off to Walmarts...
we ended up with a few goodies like free lotion (w/coupons) and my favorite item we splurged on was the vacuum cleaner. (Our old one was falling apart... literally)
We loaded our goodies and to Big Lot's we headed to look for beds.
Sam and I have been bed less for about a year. Our water bed had sprung a leak and for awhile we slept on air matresses until we popped them.lol. We also slept on our couch(hide a bed) for awhile.Fun Times!!
Big Lot's had a great sale where you buy the mattress get the foundation for $10 dollars
they also had nice prices on bed frames.
So...We walked out of their with a bed!!YEA!!
(pictures to come later when I can afford new linens)

We took our goodies home and quickly hopped back in the van to the Sears scratch-n-dent store.
Where we purchased a washer.
(our washer broke down right before Christmas)
however when we got it home and plugged it in...It didn't work!
I will spare you the details... but how this all ended is we took it back the next day and found one that was $17 dollars cheaper never been used and when we got it home we found out that it was made 7 days ago (from when we purchased it, the washer has one small dent on the top corner). Can you say SCORE!

You are a shopping wonder! And you had your kids in tow! that part is amazing to me. I am so glad you will now have clean clothes, clean floors, soft skin, and a comfy place to sleep. Right now we only have a comfy place to sleep and that is what I intend to do. The clothes and the floors will be ready to be cleaned on a different day!

Three cheers for you. I am so happy you got all that stuff. Sounds like it was a great day. I was thinking the other day about you and not having a washer I am so happy you finally got one. Have a great day.

You are my inspiration. Instead of wishing I was you I am going to be you. I'm heading to albertson's right now and I am not going to settle for paying .50 cents I want it free. Watch out I'm in competition.

It's Blabbing day today!! Are they kidding me? A day I can just go on and on about nothing? (I bet they created this day for the children)LOL! So I found a brand of shoes that I absolutely love to look at. I have not worn or own a pair but would love to in the future. I just think paying more than $20 for a pair of shoes is crazy! And most of there shoes are $50+ These are one of my favorite!! But I haven't been able to find them cheaper than $89 that's a little steep.(I think) I will find them cheaper you just watch. They might be out of style by the time I can purchase them but I will have them. I love these too! I think I have a new hobby.. collecting shoes, now if I could only afford them. I have a couple of kids who have a difficult time channeling their Anger. So we are thinking of putting them into AKIDO (martial arts). Akido focuses on using there energy to gain control, Not on striking their opponent. I might actually need to take a few classes myself. I find chann...

My last trip to Albertson's turned out to be the best! Yes, I know you are sick of me posting about shopping but I had a few of you ask.. How I do it? I ended up spending $1.77 for what you see in the picture. You ask how? Albertson's Ad had two double coupon certificates in their ad where they would double up to 3 manufacture coupons per certificate. There are a few sites I continuously go to print off coupons they are... Betty Crocker Coupon Cat Pillsbury Albertson's had a sale when you bought $30 worth of certain items you would get 3 $5 dollar coupons for your next purchase. I grouped all my coupons together to try to get the best deal I could. The first time I purchased it actually cost me $17 something but I had $15 for a next purchase. The trick was to get 6 $1 coupons which equaled $12 +$15=$27 ....out of pocket=$3 and then 3 more $5 coupons would print out and you beg your neighbor friends or anyone you can for more double coupons and go back I pretty much lived ...

Yesterday we had the Opportunity to meet the Author of FableHaven and CandyShop Wars Brandon Mull. When he got there he answered questions and was very personable. Then he started signing books and individually answered questions. He also had a few questions for us. He also signed posters for all the kids. (I have no idea what were going to do with 6 posters) (Maybe with the underlining message my kids will enjoy reading) The line was longer than we expected but we were there pretty early and had a chance to be 4th or 5th in line. (if my kids would have just got in line while I was taking kids potty) (I'm glad we got there when we did) Overall a great family (education) moment. (Yes, Mom I got your copy signed as well)
