What’s your Laundry Schedule? and What do you use to clean your clothes?

Baby, general, Recipes, Uncategorized
How do you do your laundry? Do you do it all at once? Do you take your time and a do a load once a day?  Leave me a comment with your thoughts. I've had this problem for sometime now. Since I work full-time, I rush around the house in the morning to get the baby, husband and myself out the door. I sometimes throw in a load of laundry into the washer and take a load out of the dryer and put it into a basket for later folding or hanging. Recently, I got into a routine to start a load in the morning and when I get home I put a load away and put the load in the dryer.  I feel it is a lot easier to…

Baby, Rite Aid, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized
I just want to take a moment to document my July Rebates and costs for Rite Aid. After buying the diaper deal (4 packs of Megas), buying some things we needed and buying some of the freebies (Stayfree, Feverall, and Rolaids), I'll get most of it back.  I'm not going to list every item I purchased but the amounts go like this. OOP=$82.10 (used 2 $5 GC NOT include in calculations, I treated them as cash.) I'll get 2 -$25 GCs and $19.00 Rebate check. Total Cost = $13.10  + Free pack of Huggies value at $11.49 I did make a mistake on the Stayfree and had to return a couple and buy some later.  I also made a couple trips since the $5/$25 is per customer.  It all worked…

Baby, Rite Aid, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized
I successfully did the Rite Aid Huggies Diaper deal this week!  Now, you can do the rebates 1 or unless otherwise stated.  I've included some other options that could have worked as well, a note for the future. (Note: I had already bought a pack earlier in May that qualified for the 6 pack of Huggies diapers.  That purchase I made a $0.1 PROFIT.) I've also updated the Rite Aid Coupon Policy.  The manager at my favorite Rite Aid explained to me that you can use more than 1 Internet Coupon per transaction, in other words, 1 Internet Coupon per purchase, just like regular manufacturer coupons.  Woohoo! On the Swim Diapers they quality for The Caregivers Marketplace rebate which is $.75 a pack!  You have to make 5 purchases of…

How to Make a Baby Bib? Easy project!

Baby, Sewing, Uncategorized
How to make a baby bib? This is a super easy project that you can create in less than 15 minutes. Select some fabric and create a simple template. I created this template using freezer paper. You can then iron on the freezer paper template to the fabric with a low setting on your iron. Then you can easily cut out the fabric without pinning. Either cut out 2 templates or do as I did and fold the fabric and then cut out 2 at one time. Then sew the two pieces right sides together. Leave a little bit open so you can turn it right side out. Then attach some velcro to the ends, either by sewing or using fusible agent. I recommend Bo-Nash Fusible 007.

CVS Shopping Trip 1/11/2009

Baby, Coupons, CVS, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized
I lucked out on this deal!  They had 2 boxes of 100 count Playtex liners left.  A box is $8.99.  I was hoping to buy the 50 count which is $4.99 a box.  I didn't see anything else in the CVS ad that I needed to have and the ECB deals weren't that good.  I had to pick up a prescription and hoped that I could do the Playtex drop-in liners deal.  I found my $1 liner coupons and when I checked out it took a moment for the cashier to get the computer to process the coupon because the computer was still processing the BOGO deal.  It worked thank goodness.  My ECBs were having a problem scanning and luckily the Pharmacist was there who subtracted the ECB from my…
