Lack of Posts

I'm sorry for my lack of posts these past few day, but I've had no internet and no cable TV since Tuesday, thanks to Comcast.  I imagine the problem probably stems from all the road construction/expansion they are doing in front of my house, but Comcast tells me they cannot send anyone out to investigate the problem until Saturday...five days without TV or internet!!

So it looks like I'm gonna be MIA for the next few days, or at least until I can get a hold of the "can do" man at Comcast to get out there sooner.  (For those of you wondering, I'm using the internet at work to post this...sshhh)

Happy Birthday To My Boys!

My hubby left this morning to take our boys to float down the Guadalupe River this weekend for their birthdays.  This will be the first time for both of them!  I hope they don't freeze their buns off...lol.

This is Caleb.  He turned 15!  He's kinda shy, queit, and a very sweet boy who can be pretty darn charming when he wants to be.

This is Chantz, who turned 14.  Now this one... he's loud, he's in the mix on everything, he gives me a run for my money everyday, but he's got his momma wrapped around his finger!

While these two boys are as opposite as night & day, that's what makes them special, unique and who they are.  I wouldn't trade them for the world!

Happy Birthday Boys!  I hope you have a great time on the river.

SHOPPING!

I got a chance to go out and do some shopping this weekend.  Here's what I got. 

Saturday I went to Walmart, which I almost never do simply because I hate dealing with the crowds and the lack of open registers.  However, my husband needed some spray paint and I figured I should be able to get in and out pretty quickly with only two cans of spray paint, right?  Well, as I was heading to the register to check out, there were several buggies full of clearance items, including the Betty Crocker Frosting shown above.  They were marked down to $.25 ea because of the holiday design on the label!  Now, I didn't take my coupon binder in with me cause I was on a mission to just get the spray paint and get out, but if I had taken it with me, I would have gotten all of these cans of frosting for free because I have several peelies for $.25/1 BC Frosting.  I ended up getting 8 of them anyway because I figured $.25 a can was a pretty good deal even without coupons!

My next stop was Randalls.  Remember the Hallmark cards deal I posted about HERE?  Well, I was finally able to take advantage of the deal myself.  I couldn't find any of the $1.49 cards, so I got the ones that are $1.99.  I ended up doing the deal twice and got 6 cards and 2 bears for less than two bucks!  And by the way, you don't have to buy only Valentines Day cards to get the free bears.  I bought 2 birthday cards and it still worked for me.  This deal is going on, so get on over to Randalls and get your cheap cards and free bears!

Today I hit up Kroger.  The Nabisco Cookies Snak Saks shown above are on sale for $1ea.  Several of the convenience stores have tearpads for $.50/1 Nabisco Snack Saks.  These tearpad coupons will double to $1 at Kroger, making these cookies FREE! 

I also picked up 3 of the Horizons Single Serving Chocolate Milks for FREE.  They didn't survive long enough to make it into the picture though.  My kids drink those things up as quick as I can get 'em in the house!  If you printed the coupon that I posted about HERE, you can still get in on this deal too.  However, the coupon is no longer available to print any longer.

Walgreens was my final stop for today.  Here I took advantage of the Chex Mix sale that I posted about HERE.  I made $7 (after coupons and register rewards) for taking ten bags of Chex Mix off the shelves at Walgreens...yeah baby!  Remember, you have to have the coupon from the "Joy of Football" coupon booklet for this deal to work AND this is a money maker deal for today ONLY.  Today is the last day for the register rewards to print.  After that, they will still be free after coupons, but not a money maker.

So there you have it.  That was my weekend shopping adventures!  Were you able to score any good deals this weekend?  If so, tell us about it in the comments section of this post.

My Starbucks Rewards

Did you get any Starbucks gift cards for Christmas, or any other occasion for that matter?  If so, earn FREE drinks when you register and use your Starbucks card.  As I've mentioned before, my husband is a huge Starbucks fan.  Each week I load his "coffee allowance" onto a gift card so he can earn free drinks on the purchases that he would be making anyway.

FREE Online Golf Game

Speaking of things my husband loves, golf ranks way up there!  Unfortunately, it's a little pricey so he doesn't get to play quite as often as he would like.  Perhaps playing this FREE online golf game will help hold him over in between real games..lol.

Girl's Night

Remember the Jamberry Nails deal I posted about HERE before Christmas?  Well, I took advantage of that deal myself, and tonight we finally had a chance to give 'em a try.  Here's my daughter with her Jamberry Nails.  Aren't they cute?  (she's going to have a cow when she finds out I posted a picture of her feet on the blog)

They were actually really easy to apply, but it was a bit time consuming.  Although, once I got the hang of applying them, it went faster.  Jamberry Nails advertises that the appliques will last 4-6 weeks when applied to the toes and 1-2 weeks on the hands.  So we're going to put them to the test!

Note: The GroupDealz offer for Jamberry Nails is no longer active, but you can get them for the regular price ($15) from Jamberry Nails directly.
