CVS Good Deal Alert for Saturday Night

If you have some time, you can head out to CVS. They have a sale going on this week that when you buy 25.00 worth of Gilette products, you get 10.00 back in ECB.

I was going for the body wash, as that's DH's fav, and some of the deoderant. Last Sunday's paper had some great coupons for them as well.

While I was there, I picked up a shave gel that works into the gilette deal, and it was on sale for 3.49 BUT....next weeks ad tags were out and the shave gel was on sale for 1.99. They were ringing up at 1.99 already too.

Now, I didn't do this deal like this, but on my way home I was thinking what a great deal it could really be if someone has multiple coupons for the shave gel.

Here it is:
Buy 13 of the shave gels = 26.00
Use 13 of the 1.00 of shave gel coupons -13.00
Leaves you with an out of pocket of 13.00 plus tax.

Get back 10.00 in ECB.

So it's like paying 3.00 for 13 shave gels!

WOO HOO!

Girl Scout Cookie Time!

Well......not quite yet, but last night we went to a Cookie Kick-Off. The Princess got to taste each one of the different kinds of cookies, she learned about them, safety lessons, got to play a game with a beach ball to learn the names of the cookies, and had a good time with her troop.

One of the breakout sessions was about how to sell the cookies at a booth. The high school girls who were leading the activity told the little daisy girls that they had an advantage because they were so little and cute. :)

We've been busy!

We've had a busy last year, and I'm looking forward to blogging again.

The Princess is doing well in homeschool. She's currently in first grade, and reading around a third grade level.

She's involved in Upwords cheerleading twice a week, hip hop dance class, a homeschool book club, Sunday School, daisy scouts, and 4-H.

DH keeps busy working 50-60 hours a week at the restaurant. When he's home he loves to spend time with family, reading and computerizing....if that's a word.

I drive a taxi...oh wait, that's not really a taxi. The Princess just calls me the taxi driver. I keep busy homeschooling Shelah, driving her to her activities, taking my parents to their doctor appointments and errands, subbing in the Sunday School, ebaying for us and selling for others, mystery shopping and I've started freelance writing.

Additionally, we are trying to adopt. Within the next few weeks we should be qualified with all the hoops gone through and classes completed. We'll keep you posted!

We're on facebook and email, as well as updating the blog daily, so please keep in contact!

We hope you all have had a great year, and have a wonderful year ahead!
