Disney backpack shipped for $15.00

If you still need a backpack for your little one, the Disney store has their character backpacks on sale for $15.00. PLUS, you can get free shipping on back to school items using the code SCHOOLSHIP. Lincoln is starting preschool this year (tears) and I can't decide between the Toy Story one or the Lightning McQueen.

I saw some clearance diapers at Rite Aid today. Might want to grab your $5/$25 and your diaper coupons and check it out if you are going there anyway. My Rite aid had huggies, pampers, luvs, and underjams. Don't forget the Ace In-ad coupon. I have been getting the sports tape for $3.99 but the ice packs in the travel section are supposedly working too making good overage!

What did you do today???

I don't know about you but I have a feeling my husband comes home from work every night thinks, "what did she do all day?" Well let's start posting what we do! (just in case he ever gets the nerve to ask :)

I'll go first,

Today was payday so it was errand day.

Went to Rite Aid
Went to the Bank
Went to Albertsons for a couple of sale items
Went to Ralphs for a few sale items

Really? that's all I did? We were gone almost 3 hours!!! Oh well, now I will do 1 load of laundry and start my ribs for dinner. It's my first time making them!!

A review by my BFF

Here's a review my BFF did of Neutrogena UltraSheer® Liquid Daily Sunblock. She was able to use it under her make up, wear it all day without having to reapply, and use it on her little ones. Sounds like the perfect product to me! You can read her review here and there's a link to a coupon at the end.

Free, Cheap, or a Money maker at Walgreens

Here are some deals I found around the blog world if you want to go try your luck at Walgreens. These deals will either end up being free, give you some overage so you can buy some extras or be really really cheap.

Vicks Vaporizers

First there’s a very good deal on Vicks Vaporizers. These are part of the monthly register rewards promotion: Buy $20 in Vicks products and earned a $10 register rewards back. Here’s the deal:

Buy (1) Vicks Plug-in Waterless Vaporizer $5
Buy (3) Vicks Plug-in Refills for a total of $5 each
Buy two boxes of Puffs Facial Tissue
Use four $1.50 off any Vicks Product coupon from 2/21 PG
Use two FREE Puffs when you buy (2) Vicks Products coupon from 2/7 PG
Pay $14 plus tax out of pocket and earn a $10 register rewards back.
That’s like paying $1 each after coupons and register rewards.

Planters Trail Mix

Buy two Planters Trail Mix $1.99 each (reg. price)
Use two $1.50/1 Planters Nuts coupon
Use $1/2 Planters Trail Mix Walgreens store coupon from March Booklet

Plus my friend Marcia left a comment sharing that she found Planters nuts containers on clearance at Walgreens for $1.75 each. Pay only 25 cents each if you are lucky to find this clearance sale as well.

Reese’s Dark Cups

Reese’s Cups $0.49 after in ad coupon
Use $0.55/1 Reese’s Dark Cups coupon from 03-14-10 SS

To avoid beeps at the register hand your manufacturer coupon first and then the in-ad coupon. Make sure to add something else to your order to absorb the 6 cents in overage.

Pay $1.98 plus tax out of pocket and earn a $5 Register rewards back.

Alli over at Couponing for Four said that when she took advantage of the Sudafed Mist moneymaker deal I shared with you earlier a coupon for a free box of 18-20 ct Tampax Pearl or Compak Pearl tampons up to $5 printed at checkout. This one may be random.

These deals were found over at http://www.commonsensewithmoney.com/. If I find any more I will share them later.

Nursing Covers for $16.50

Need a nursing cover for yourself or a baby shower gift? Mamabargains has a cute one on sale for just $16.50. There are only 2 choices to pick from but they cover a neutral or a girly one. As a mom who tried and tried and tried to nurse these are much better than the cheapo ones for not much more money.

A Toy Story deal and a trip to the movies!

Do you LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, Toy Story like we do? I just watched Toy Story 2 for the first time a couple weeks ago and it is so cute! and my little ones loved it. I haven't seen Toy Story 1 yet and I can't wait to take the boys to see Toy Story 3.

So we have been looking into buying the movies and WOW they are expensive! $50.00 at Amazon and only $21 off Ebay if you want your movie from China which may or may not play on your player and may or may not be an authentic DVD.

So I found from another blog ( I am so sorry that I can not remember who, I have been searching and will continue to search to give credit to whom credit is due) that Amazon is having a preorder special. If you order BOTH Toy Story 1 and Toy Story 2 you get $10.00 off. PLUS each movie will come with a ticket to see Toy Story 3 in the theaters. Those are an $8.50ish value each right there.

So go to Amazon and you will see the Toy Story Dvd Blu Ray combo but DO NOT CLICK THAT ONE! Go down the page past the check out related media video box to the Best Value. It says buy both for $39.98. That's the one you want.

Right above the check out special media box there is a box that says special offer and that is where the detail are about the free movie tickets.

Free Thriving Family magazine for 6 months

Ooh I forgot to tell you about this free magazine I found last week after the Superbowl. I was over at the Focus on the Family website checking out the story behind the Superbowl ad and saw that they had an offer for 6 months of their magazine for free. I signed up and meant to blog about it and forgot. It's still available though so head on over to the site and look down at the bottom for the green button in the middle.

Valentine's Day craft

Here is a super cute, really last minute craft idea with one of my favorite Bible verses. You could adapt this to fit your needs.

Kingdom First Mom has this over at her site and when I saw it I knew I just had to do it! Now if only I had seen it before I went to the store today. Oh well I will just have to be a little more creative.

She uses a small box, some crafty stamps, address labels, and Hershey Nuggets mini candy bars.

She then printed off the verses from 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. You could use any old mushy, funny, love poems you like.

Panda Express coupon

Looking for something yummy to eat this weekend? Panda Expess has this great coupon out there you can print off. You get a free 1 item Firecracker chicken with any 2 or 3 entree purchase.

Moms Need to Know also has coupons for some other restaurants you can go check out here.
