We didn't need much this week thanks to a few recent "stock-up" trips, so I went to a some stores that I don't always have time to go to...including the Goodwill store and Ollie's Bargain Outlet. I know it's not grocery related, but I LOVE to go to the Goodwill to look for books for my kids. At $0.35 a piece, it's an inexpensive way to treat them! I found some bargains today...including books by Tommie de Paola and Eric Carle, plus a hardcover Fancy Nancy book! Ollie's didn't have much except for Betty Crocker fruit snacks for $0.99 a box. We were out and my husband LOVES fruit snacks, so I bought a few boxes.
My best deal of the day was at Walgreens where I got 2 cans of Clabber Girl baking powder for FREE after coupons! (Well, I paid $0.03 for tax, but that's about as close to free as you'll get!) :)
I also went to Kroger for one set of Mega Sale items (Kleenex, Nestle water bottles, Doritos -a sick present for my hubby-, and a carton of half & half) and some veggies, milk and eggs.
And, unfortunately, I was FORCED to go to Walmart for a few non-grocery related items, so while I was there, I picked up a bottle of honey. :)
Here are my totals for the day...
Total value of all purchases (22 items from 4 stores - not including Goodwill) : $56.53
Total amount spent oop after sales and coupons : $34.63
Total amount saved : $21.90 or 39%

Dollar Tree Deals
The next time you're in your local Dollar Tree store (probably buying your Sunday paper or items for a Busy Bag!), you may want to take a stroll down the food/snack aisle! Lately, I have been finding lots of great snack items - especially things that have been nice to have for my daughter's lunchbox and for after school snacks!
And, of course, you can't beat the price!! :)
Here are a few things I've found recently:
In addition to these items, I have also seen 10 ct. bags of Snyder's mini pretzel twists AND Nature's Own bread (loaves, buns, sandwich things, bagel thins, etc.)!
Just another reason why I LOVE my Dollar Tree store!

Busy Bag Idea: Fuzzy Marble Scoopers!
The first time my oldest daughter saw a pom-pom ball, she called it a "Fuzzy Marble," and the name has stuck ever since! So, that's why I call my newest Busy Bag creation "Fuzzy Marble Scoopers!" I sometimes struggle to come up with busy bags that keep my 2 year old occupied for very long, but she LOVED this one and has played with it several times since I first put it together.
This busy bag is super simple to create and can, once again, be made using items you probably already have or can purchase at your local dollar store.
Makes me wonder why we spend so much money at Christmas.....
Here's what you need:
2 plastic bowls (of any kind/size)
pom-pom balls
plastic spoon
small tongs (I added chopsticks later and the kids love those too!)
gallon size zip-top bag
Here's what you do:
Place the two bowls out for your child. Fill one up with pom-pom balls. Give your child the spoon or the tongs/chopsticks and have them transfer the pom-poms from one bowl to the other. THAT'S IT! When they are done, store it in the zip-top bag.
I told you it was simple! You will be amazed at how long your child will do this!
My 5 year old even got in on the action one day!
If you missed my original post about Busy Bags, you can check it out here. These are a life-saver for me when I'm cooking dinner in the evenings!!
Have you had any great ideas for Busy Bags? I'd love to hear about them!

Busy Bag: A Cheap and Easy Way to Entertain the Kids!
A couple of months ago, I was introduced to the idea of "Busy Bags." Immediately I had one of those "why didn't I think of that?!" moments. (That happens to me a lot, actually!) :)
Have you ever been cooking dinner...at the last minute....when you're supposed to be somewhere in an hour....when all of a sudden your kids melt down? In my house, the kids usually play together BEAUTIFULLY until the very minute the pasta boils over or something HAS to come out of the oven before it burns. You've been there....It's like the minute you step into the kitchen, a fight breaks out, a boo-boo needs attention, or a drink is spilled, etc.
This is EXACTLY when a Busy Bag can save the day! They are, in a nut shell, zip-top bags filled with simple, inexpensive, and age-appropriate activities that will keep your child busy for a short period of time! Since I learned about them, I have been creating Busy Bags and placing them in a plastic tub in the floor of the kitchen. Then, if I'm in the kitchen and the kids start to get rowdy or bored, I tell them to choose a Busy Bag to play with. They go to the box, pick out a bag, and sit at the table and play with it while I finish cooking dinner. I mean, just the sound of the bags being pulled open is like hearing a giant "SIGH" in my home!
Can you hear it?! :)
Even if you think you're not a crafty or creative person, you CAN make your own Busy Bags! Most of the ones I have made include materials I either already had in the house or that came from the Dollar Store.
Let me give you an example...
The newest Busy Bag I made was for "Lacing Shapes." All of the materials I used for this Busy Bag came from the Dollar Store.
Here's what you need:
-foam shapes (I found rectangle and flower shapes at my store. If you can't find the foam shapes, you can buy a piece of posterboard and cut it into shapes yourself.)
-shoelaces (I found a package of 8 sets of shoelaces in the "beauty" aisle at my Dollar Store)
-a hole punch
Here's what you do:
-Use the hole punch to punch holes all around the edges of your shapes.
-Take the shoelaces and tie a knot in one end of each one that is big enough so the laces can't be pulled through the holes.
-Place the hole-punched shapes and the knoted shoelaces into a zip-top bag.
-When your child is ready to play, show them how they can pull the laces through the holes.
INSTANT FUN!
Here's how mine turned out...
I'll be bringing you some more busy bag ideas in the future. In the meantime, if you have any ideas for fun, kid-friendly activities, I'd love to hear them!

Thrifty Thursday! 7/28
Today was a full day of shopping for me! I made it to Target, CVS, Kroger, Dollar Tree, and Food Lion!
My goal at Target was to pick up some clearanced toys. Unfortunately, I didn't find any that I wanted or that were "cheap enough." (Most things were only marked down 25 - 50%.) I did, however, find some great deals on children's clothes and picked up a few things for my kids to wear this fall and next summer! Here's what I got:
Total value: $70.80
Total amount spent out of pocket after sale prices: $25.33
Total saved: $45.47 or 64%!
Next, it was on to CVS. At first, I was disappointed b/c they were either sold out of what I wanted or the deals ended up not being as good as I thought. However, as I walked around the store, I came across a few clearance and sale items that made for a few good buys!
The Tide Stain Release was on clearance for $3.36 and after a $3 coupon, cost me only $0.36! Plus, the cereal was on sale 2/$4 and I had (2) $1.25 coupons, making them only $0.75 each! The Crystal Light were coupon match-up deals - on sale for $2.50, I had a $1 CVS coupon from the coupon machine and a $1 manufacturer coupon that made them $0.50 each! Plus, the soap was FREE after a CVS coupon I had!
Total value of 8 items: $23.80
Total spent after sales, coupons, and ECB's: $2.93 (I used $2 ECBs on this transaction)
Total saved: $20.87 or 88%!
Total ECB's received: $1.99
My trip to Kroger today wasn't all that thrilling. I bought a $14 package of pull-ups that drove my total up. They were totally out of all the cereal that I wanted from the mini mega-sale, though I did find some cereal / treat bars that were part of the sale that I decided to buy. I ended up with mostly staple items - milk, yogurt, produce, fruit, lunchmeat, etc.
The Golden Grahams Treat bars above were $1.49 (if you bought 4 items in the mega sale). I used (2) $0.50 coupons from the 7/10 SS to get them for $0.49 each. The cereal bars were $1.89 (mega sale price) and I used (2) $0.50 (from the same insert??) that made them $0.89 each. The sippy cups were buy one get one free - making this one $2.27 - not a bad price, especially since these cups are my favorite and we needed a new one!
Total value of 23 items: $71.63
Total spent after sales and coupons: $44.10
Total saved: $27.53 or 39%
After Kroger, I ran in the Dollar Tree to grab some bread. I also ended up buying a package of Snapple ice pops as a treat for the girls. I've never had these before, so I'm hoping they are good!
Total value / total spent: $3.08
My last stop of the day was Food Lion. I had $4 in "Catalina money" that was going to expire, so I wanted to use it up. Plus, they had a decent price on grapes and cheese this week. I also ended up grabbing a FREE bottle of coffe creamer after a coupon I had been saving and a carton of Breyers ice cream. (So, that was a little bit of a splurge!) :) I did find a good deal on 100 count boxes of Splenda packets - on sale for $3. I used a $1 coupon that I printed from the Splenda website to get it for $2!
Total value of 6 items: $25.06
Total spent after sales and coupons: $7.97
Total saved: $17.09 or 68%
All in all, it was a pretty good day!
Total value of all items purchased: $194.37
Total amount spent after sales and coupons: $83.41
Total amount saved: $110.96 or 57%!
So, how have you done this week? Come across any good deals?! Please share them!

Thrifty Thursdays
I'm actually posting my Thrifty Thursday report ON THURSDAY this week!!!
I had a full day of shopping today and actually did pretty well at a few stores! Here we go...
My first store was Walmart. I had several free product coupons that I had been saving up that were going to expire at the end of the month, so I decided to go in and redeem those while trying to snag a few other deals in the process! Here's what I got...
Total value: $25.24
Total spent oop after coupons: $1.94
Total saved: $23.30 or 92%!
*****DEAL HIGHLIGHT*****
White Cloud Baby Wipes (80 ct) regularly priced at $1.50
-$1 White Cloud Product coupon from June or July All You Magazine
*makes them $.50 each!
Advil "Pocket Packs" 10 ct (found at the register)
-$4/2 coupon from the 5/22 SS insert
*buy (2), makes them FREE plus $.32 in overage!
********************************
The next store I made it to was the Dollar Tree. I went in for Father's Day cards and bread. Here's what I ended up with (minus the Father's Day cards). If you've never bought greeting cards at Dollar Tree, you should glance at them the next time you're in there. The ones at our store are very high quality and only $.50!
It's unusual to find the large packs of peanut butter crackers there, so I was excited about that! (I keep these in the diaper bag. They come in handy when I need to occupy my children's mouths with something other than screaming!!) :) Plus, we are planning on having hamburgers next week, so the buns will come in handy. I'm planning on splitting the packages of rolls and putting them in the freezer to save for future meals.
Total spent: $11.91
Next on the list was Food Lion. My main objective there was produce and frozen pizza! (I would have price matched my Food Lion items at Walmart to save a trip, but they don't always have the prices of everything listed in their ad.) I also ended up buying some discounted ground beef & steak which drove my total up by about $10.
Total value of 8 items: $34.49
Total spent after sales & coupons: $23.28
Total saved: $11.21 or 67%!
After a break for a doctor's appointment, I quickly ran into CVS to redeem (2) FREE Hershey's candy bar coupons that I printed from their website. I wanted to make sure I got them this week because Hershey's candy was on sale B2G1 for a penny!
Total value: $3.60
Total spent after sale & coupons: $0.04
Total spent: $3.56 or 99%
Last, but not least, I finally made it to Kroger at the end of the day. There is a new mega sale this week with the most exciting items for me being cheap Juicy Juice and FREE baby wipes (of which they had none - of course.)
Total value of 25 items: $57.39
Total spent after sales & coupons: $39.38
Total saved: $18.01 or 31%
All in all, I was pretty pleased with my day! Here's the grand total:
Total value of all purchases: $132.63
Total spent after sales & coupons: $76.55
Total saved: $56.08 or 42%!

Thrifty Thursdays!
Today was quite a busy day. It started off with my daughter's preschool graduation. I can't believe she is already finished with preschool and going to be starting Kindergarten in just a few short months! Time sure does fly!
Then, after a quick trip to the hair salon, I started my shopping for the day. I made it to Kroger, Walgreens, and Walmart today. (I only went to Walmart to pick up some pull-ups & new socks for my daughter, but did buy a watermelon while I was there - I couldn't resist!)
Kroger wasn't too thrilling, but I did pick up 4 bottles of Wishbone salad dressing for $.25 each, 4 bottles of Sweet Baby Ray's bbq sauce for $.50 each, and Oscar Meyer hotdogs for $.75 each.
Total value of 35 items: $93.67
Total amount spent oop: $43.33
Total amount saved: $50.34 (or 54%)
Next, I went to Walgreens where, believe it or not, they had EVERYTHING on my list still in stock!! Including all the items I had rainchecks for from last week.
I was excited to see that my store had the Gillette gift packs as part of the Gillette Fusion register reward deal! It includes a razor, extra blade, battery, shave gel, and face cream all for the same price as the regular one count razor! I was also happy about the Viva paper towels because they are my FAVORITE, but I usually don't splurge on them.
That said, I spent way more than I usually do at Walgreens this week. But, I just could not pass up the contact solution and paper towels. I started with $5 RR from 2 weeks ago and I did 6 transactions to bring my out of pocket total down.
Total Value of 21 items: $85.24
Total amount spent out of pocket: $15.33
Total amount saved: $69.91 (82%)!
I also went in the Dollar Tree store today to see if they had any bread in and they did!
Not bad for $4!

Dollar Tree Deals!
I don't know if you visit your local Dollar Tree store very often, but I am OBSESSED with mine! It is easily one of my favorite stores to go to!! I am lucky in that the Dollar Tree closest to me is rather large and kept very neat and clean. (I have been to some that aren't.) You never know what you might find in there - the selection changes every week. And, of course, you can always get your Sunday newspaper there for only $1!!
Part of the reason I'm writing this post is to make you aware of the fact that most Dollar Tree stores carry a great selection of Nature's Own bread!! (My FAVORITE brand!) Our store gets a new shipment in every Thursday. There are usually different varieties to choose from - today I even found bagels! As with most food found at the Dollar Tree, be sure to check the expiration date before you buy. Most of the bread I find is still fresh, though occasionally I do find loaves with expired dates.
Here is a picture of what I found today at the Dollar Tree. My 2 year old was so excited to find raisins! She loves them and even the small boxes are so expensive at traditional stores. The small packs are great to keep in the diaper bag for quick snacks! (Same goes for the small packs of peanut butter crackers!)
If you have never checked out the food selection at your local Dollar Tree, you should try it! Let us know if you find any good deals!
