$3 off a $10 Revlon Purchase

Plus, I got a 25% off coupon in my email last week that I also used.

1 Lucky Charms 3/$10

- (2) $0.06 Cheerios Printable

Pay $8.20 Get Back $3 ECB

Spend Less Time Doing Laundry, and More Time in the Sun!

March 21, 2013 By Jamie Filed Under: Everything Else 3 Comments

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Biz Stain Fighter. All opinions are 100% mine.

Summer is quickly approaching and you know what that means… Grass stains, and in my family, it means a LOT of grass stains! We live on a small farm, so grass and dirt and who knows what else create hard to remove stains in their clothes (and mine). Let's face it, clothes are getting more and more expensive, so I try to extend the life of my kids clothes as much as I can. I can't just lock them up for the summer, so my goal for this year was to find a great detergant booster to help eliminate those tuff summer stains.

So, I was super excited when I found out about Biz! And even better? They are offering a $1 Biz coupon! So not only can I help extend the life of our clothes, I don't have to break my budget to do it!

An added bonus? I don't have to spend extra time in the laundry room treating, and scrubbing, and pre soaking all of those stained up clothes, which means I cans spend more time doing the things I love… Making more stains outisde in the garden with the kids!

Now if I could only find a detergeant that will fold and put away my laundry! =)

Be sure to like Biz on Facebook and follow @BizStainFighter on Twitter for exclusive coupons and great advice on fighting those tuff stains!

So, let us know what is your least favorite thing about laundry? Folding? Putting it away? Finding those elusive missing socks?

Walmart Shopping Trip 1/6/13

January 6, 2013 By Jamie Filed Under: 100 Bucks a Month, My Shopping Trips 3 Comments

So I headed over to Walmart today because I need milk and wanted to scope out some prices for some of the coupons that came out today.

Can I say the price of milk sucks! I am kinda glad The Boy has dairy allergies, because it seems his soy milk is sooo much more cheaper, and I can actually get coupons for it! Maybe I will buy a cow! I don’t think Mr. Always would be to happy though..lol I’m still trying to convince him to let me get a pig. My idea of playing real life Angry Birds kinda has him interested..lol

*I would never actually do that… but the thought makes me giggle.

Ok… Walmart tip..

Simple trip, but expensive!

Milk – $4.39

Yup, that is it.. simple right? I need to figure out a milk alternative, because everything I have read… It’s only going to get WORSE! That is 1/4 of my weekly budget!

What is the price of milk in your area?

Left for the week: $15.61

CVS Shopping Trip 1/6/13

January 6, 2013 By Jamie Filed Under: 100 Bucks a Month, CVS, My Shopping Trips 6 Comments

Let me start off by saying that this morning I got 5 inserts in my newspaper. I was a little disappointed that I did NOT get the B1G1 Stayfree. =(

Here is a break down of todays trip:

I did 5 transactions and even though I didn’t have coupons for everything I bought. I bought things that my family actually eats or uses.

Remember, it’s not how much you save… It’s how much you spend on things YOU NEED!

I also ended up giving the rest of my $4/$20 coupons to the woman in front of me in line who was buying a bunch of Christmas toys that were on clearance for prizes for her class. (I overheard her conversation with the cashier… I’m nosy..lol)

Since the 2 transactions that I actually bought food were technically money makers, they will count as $0 towards my $100 budget for the month to feed my family.

I started with:

$10 ECB from last week

10 coupons for $4/20 purchase

I took advantage of my $4/$20 coupons by splitting up my transaction for the Buy $30 Get $10 Cash Card deal.
