Today, I stopped into CVS to see if I could get a couple deals.  I had a late meeting at work and thought I would check out some deals before heading into traffic.

I also got 1 CVS…

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.

Harris Teeter Double Coupons 6/24 – 6/30

Coupons, Food, Harris Teeter, Uncategorized
Yesterday, I went to Harris Teeter for double coupon event! You must go! They are doubling up to $1.98. There are so many great deals this week. A lot of freebies. Here are some awesome blogs that have great match-ups. Check them out. A couple things to mention about Harris Teeter BEFORE you go! 1. You can only do 20 double coupons per day. Now, I haven't confirmed that you can do more in another transaction but the cashier might not let you. So, think of a stop at Harris Teeter as a very small shopping trip. Plus, I don't know if the Vic card keeps track of coupons used. The coupon rules can be looked at HERE scroll down to Harris Teeter. Plus, they usually only let you use…

RiteAid Shopping Plan 6/7-6/13

Baby, Rite Aid, Uncategorized
This weekend I was super excited about the CVS pampers deal and frustrated because I had a $5/30 (expired 6/7) and do to family commitments I couldn't get to CVS to get it.  This morning I found out that the deal is off and CVS has taken it off the website.  Big disappointment.  It would have been nice to have gotten diapers for $2.99 or $3.99 a pack.  However, I came across some other opportunities. Per BabyCheapSkate: Pampers jumbos are $8.99 at Rite Aid. Print a coupon for $5 off $25 at RiteAid (.pdf). Buy three and use the manufacturer's coupon along with the $5/$25 and you'll have a stockupportunity! Per IheartRiteAid.com: AMO Complete Multi-Purpose Solution 12oz Up to $7.99 SCR #24 -$2 AMO Complete Multi-Purpose Solution 12 oz +…

MoneyWise Moms in the Washington Post

general, Newspapers, Uncategorized
It always feels good when you read an article in any paper or watch the news on any channel, and hear about something that you are familiar with.  I've been a fan of MoneyWiseMoms.com for several months and it is great because she is local in the Northern Virginia area.  I'm not the only one! The same mind-set has helped turn consignment sales into a main topic of conversation during Gina Lincicum's moms club meetings. Loathe to attend events with paid tickets, they alert one another to free family outings. E-mail chains now share cheap crockpot recipes for summer. So many people have asked Lincicum for her homemade pizza recipe -- as much as $20 cheaper than delivery -- that she posted it on her blog, Moneywise Mom... Click HERE…

Frugal Bloggers Rule

Coupons, general, Uncategorized
Here is an interesting article in the Associate Press this week about the Old Navy coupons and Frugal Mom blogs. I'm impressed that both the press and industries are finally noticing the blogs and frugal saving Moms like us.    I'm hoping this will mean more coupons will appear either online or in the newspapers.  They have to notice that coupon usage and attention to coupons like Old Navy weekly coupons is so popular.  I'm telling my friends about it everyday.  More people I know who would normally NOT use a coupon are interested now. Stores, brands tap into power of frugal bloggers By ANNE D'INNOCENZIO Here are some interesting highlights: When Melissa Garcia was frustrated by Old Navy's scanty coupon offerings, she didn't just complain to the store. She vented…
