Zyrtec deals at Rite Aid

Rite Aid, Shopping Plans, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized
Before I crash into bed.  It's been a long day.  It's been a long week for that matter.  There are so many posts that I want to write about but so little time.   I can't wait to chat about gardening and what we did last weekend.  Plus, today I got my library book about "Square Foot Gardening"! The other day my co-worker brought in for me the Rite Aid ad.  I don't usually get it in my Washington Post coupon section so I always check some of the other blogger sites that I like to visit to see about some of the good deals.  The ad this week had some great deals including these "triple coupons", which I had never seen before.   My store was out of them the first…

Going to Disney World on a Budget

Kids, Travel, Uncategorized
My family went on a week long vacation to Florida in January, which was a great get away.  Of course, when we got back we had to deal with February record snow falls.  Who would have guessed? January is a the best time to go because there are no lines and the hotels are very cheap. I mentioned in some earlier posts that we went to Disney on a vacation but with a toddler we knew she wouldn't be up to going to parks and we didn't want to spend that much.   We went on a fairly frugal vacation. A couple things we did: 1.  FREE - Downtown Disney - Downtown Disney is free for everyone.  It is like an out door mall.   There are a lot of shops and…

2010 Savings Challenge Update – March 2010

2010 Savings Challenge, Uncategorized
How are you doing on your 2010 Financial goals? Check out my post from earlier this year HERE. Our goals that will take most of the year to complete: 1.  With the extra savings from our mortgage each month we are going take it and invest.   We will include stock that we were going to sell last year into this fund.  We have a goal and so far we have about 40% saved up! Thanks to paying myself first each month, we expect this year to reach 47% to 54% of our goal.  I'm curious what we will reach! 2.  Save towards landscaping our front yard.  We need to get a couple estimates to figure out how much we need to save. We plan on doing some of it ourselves…

Gardening 2010 – Our first Garden

DIY, Gardening 2010, Uncategorized
[caption id="attachment_2824" align="aligncenter" width="291" caption="Lowes Trip 4/2/2010"][/caption] Gardening 2010.  I can't believe it.  I'm going to garden this year. This year my hubby and I have decided to try and grow a vegetable garden.   This is not only frugal but also healthy and educational too.   We live in the woods where the deer are plentiful, so that has caused us some doubt so we aren't getting our hopes up.    We decided a couple months ago to create a small garden in our front yard where it would be easy to maintain with our toddler daughter. Then earlier last month I was looking at my favorite organizer site DIYplanner.com and saw this Garden Planting List which is based on the Square Foot Gardening method, so I had to check it out. …
