Update: Red Plum Coupons in Washington Post

Coupons, Newspapers, Uncategorized
Well, I haven't confirmed 100% but it looks like as of last weekend (7/26/09) that Washington Post will be carrying the Red Plum coupons again.  I didn't get the Red Plum coupons in my Red Plum mailer on Monday, 7/27/09. Per my earlier post, click HERE to read it, I mentioned the Red Plum web site that allows you to search your location to find the Red Plum coupons.  This morning on my way to work I found the Washington El Tiempo Latino newsstand (Note this is FREE!) and to my excitement it has the Red Plum coupons!  It looked different then the ones from Sunday's paper and I looked at the date and it is for this weekend (8/2/09)!  Woohoo! It didn't include other coupons like SmartSource or P&G.…

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…

Where to get the”Sunday Double Deal” of the Washington Post?

Coupons, Newspapers, Uncategorized
About 10 months ago, I saw some bloggers post and show pictures of a Double Deal on their local newspaper.  Instead of buying 1 at $1.50, you buy 2 at a discount - 2 for $2.   I've been looking ever since to find these magical deals of newspapers for the my local newspaper the Washington post and finally I found one at my local Giant.   I don't go to my Giant every week so I knew I wouldn't always get it but when I do I would always check.    I recently posted on Slickdeals.net about the Red Plum appearing back in the Washington Post and made the comment about the Sunday Double deal. Where to get the Sunday Double Deal of the Washington Post?  Here is a list of stores…

Virginia – Sales Tax Holiday August

Baby, general, Uncategorized
Reminder starting tomorrow! Virginia is one of the states that offers a Sales Tax Holiday for the first weekend in August.  That is a 5% discount! For those that don’t have kids or have little tots, this holiday is a great time to buy items like underwear, socks, t-shirts, and sneakers.  It is also a good time to buy craft supplies for the younger kids like paint, paper, and markers.  Start thinking about Christmas gifts! The best part I found out is diapers, baby items and even wedding dresses ($100 or less) are included!! See list below. August Sales Tax Holiday: School Supplies and Clothing When: First weekend of August (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) each year. The 2009 holiday will take place on August 7, 8, and 9, 2009. What’s…

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.
