April 2013 P&G

Ok, so normally we do not have inserts on holiday weekends. This weekend proves the exception to the rule thanks to P&G. They put out their April inserts today, so don't forget to grab that Sunday paper. There are some pretty good Qs in this insert, so you don't wanna miss it.

 
 
Just a few great match ups that caught my eye:
 
$1 off one olay bath bar, body wash or in-shower body lotion (excludes trial/travel size)
use this at the Dollar Tree to score the bars of soap for free
 
$1.50 off one crest rinse 458 mL or larger
use this at CVS to score mouthwash for $.99
 
$1 off two dawn hand renewal, power clean, bleach alternative or oxi (excludes trial/travel size)
use this at CVS to score dish detergent for $.49 each this week
 
 
Wishing everyone a great holiday, spent with loved ones and remembering the reason behind the holiday as well. Happy Easter all!

Spring has Sprung!

                                          


Spring has arrived! Every time spring roles around, I think of the part of the Bambi movie which the quote above was taken from. Happy spring to all, and may everyone soon have the temperatures to match the season.

The Croods Screening

 
Ok, so I promised that I would come back and let everyone know how the pre-release screening of The Croods went. We loved it! I will warn parents, this movie is rated PG for some scary action scenes. That being said, our two girls, ages 3 and 13 were totally engrossed and loved the movie. On the other hand, there was a little girl, I would guess to be 6 or 7, who sat to the right of me who begged her mom to go home almost the entire movie, especially when it came to the parts where the volcanoes would erupt and it seemed as though the world was ending or one of the members of The Croods would be hurt. With this warning in mind, each parent knows their child, and would know if this type of thing would bother them. As I said, our girls were totally entranced and had not a moments concern with the explosions and such. I will say as an adult, the 3D graphics were absolutely amazing and I found the story line quite endearing, especially since I am dealing with a teenager who is in some ways and will definitely be in others, trying to spread her wings much as the Croods daughter Eep is in the movie. We are already planning to buy this movie when it comes out on DVD, and it has not even been released to the public yet.
 
See my adorable girls above, they were happy kiddos! :)
 
 
 
Of course we had to take pics with the other movie props too! :)
 
 
 
 
 
 
* As a side note, and I feel I need to put this disclaimer just to be sure all bases are covered, I am in no way being compensated for expressing my opinions of this movie with you guys. Just had to put that out there, because I just really wanted you all to know that I am leaving this review because I wanted to and not because someone asked me or paid me to.

Just keep in mind that the Q expires on 03.31.13, so be sure to stop by your store to see if they have any of these available before then.

The Croods Pre-Release Screening



Being a member of reward programs certainly pays off! Since I reached star status with Regal Cinemas, I am privy to great offers like this. This Sunday, March 17th, my family will be able to see the movie The Croods almost one whole week before its release to the public on Friday, March 22nd. I can tell you we are some super excited folks around here. :) I will definitely be back after the movie to let you folks know what we thought.

Paas Egg Decorating Kits



Sorry for the poor picture quality, but I was just so super excited about this deal that I wanted to share it. Starting this Sunday, March 17, Paas egg decorating kits will be on sale at CVS for $1.99, with an ECB of $1.99 making these free. As if that was not enough of a great deal, if you were able to snag the Paas coupons on their Facebook page I posted about a while back, you could actually snag two of these kits for $.99 for two after the ECB reward.

2 Paas kits @ $1.99 = $3.98

$1/2 Paas Facebook coupon
$1.99 ECB

Total $.99 or about $.49 cents each

Get ready, the Easter Bunny is on his way!

Joy of Donation



So, we have been very blessed to be able to share our bounty with charities in our area, and just wanted to share our latest donation with our friends here. This is the basket that we were able to put together for the basket bingo fundraiser being held for the local swim team our daughter has been a member of for the last 9 years. This basket has a retail value of $60, but I would put best guess without actually running the figures that we spent no more than $10 for all items included. Just another great way this couponing, deal seeking lifestyle has benefited our family and others. :)

Daylight Savings Time

                      

Anyone else still feeling the effects of this? It always takes me some time to adjust when we have to set our clocks ahead. If you haven't already, don't forget to set those clocks ahead one hour (I hope most have remembered this and noone was late for work this morning). This is also the perfect time to check those smoke/ carbon monoxide detectors to replace old batteries and be sure they are still functioning properly. Safe spring to everyone; can we have the real thing now?
Great buy for the day! This laptop cooling fan is regularly priced at $29.99, but today you save 54% when you snag it for $13.70. I believe I will be ordering two. :)

Orajel Rebate

 
 
So I have a teenager who is either getting some molars or wisdom teeth, not sure which yet (I will let the dentist figure that one out LOL), but I was in search of something the other night to help give he some relief. We have not used this since the kids were babies, and then it was the teething gel for little ones, but saw this and thought great something we need anyway with a great rebate attached. This box was priced at $5.48, but has a $4 rebate form inside the box, so it is like I just paid $1.48 to have this on hand. Be sure to look for the boxes that have that yellow tag in the corner for the rebate form inside the box. This rebate has a long life, not needing to be postmarked until early 2015, just don't forget to send it in if you snag a box now.

Wal Mart Clearance Score!

 
 
Don't forget to check those clearance aisles for some great deals at your local stores. I was in just the other night and snagged all of this for just over $25! Original retail was $191.52. The card/toy items were all clearanced at $1 each, and although I had no coupons for them, with some of them being regular retail of $15 each, I could not pass them up. The Toy Story Band-Aids were clearanced at $1 also, and I did use $1/2 Band-Aid products Qs on them to make them just $.50 a box. Find any great deals at your local store? Let us know below. :)
