Just head to Ronzoni's Facebook page and print it twice.

Coupon is good for $1 off TWO.

Hurry before the prints run out!

Target CartWheel Savings. NEW way to shop. Cheap SunBlock...


Have you heard of the Target Cartwheel yet?

I just ran across it today. I'm sure I'm a couple days behind being a little absorbed with trying to prepare for this baby to come. (I've been having LOTS of contractions so it may be here any day now!) ANYWAY, I'm curious to see how user friendly this new feature is with Target.

The idea behind it is that not only will you be getting a deal on what you buy but that your friends on Facebook will see what you are getting good deals on. So a little discount for you and some advertising for Target... I'm not sure if it is a fair trade but I'm excited to try it out.

My first purchase will be this deal for sunblock.
(Thanks Freebies2Deals for posting)

Purchase 2 Bottles of Banana Boat Sunscreens for $6.49 Each
Use the $3.25 off 2 Banana Boat Printable Coupon or 2 of the $2.00 off Banana Boat Coupons from the 4-21-13SS
You pay $9.08, but Get a $5 Target Gift Card Back

Total cost $3.34 or $4.08 for both bottles!!
**It is possible to even use the $2.00 off 2 Banana Boat KIDS Suscreen Target Coupon, to save even more!

In order to use the 5% off from the CartWheel you will of course, need to set up a Cartwheel account, add the eCoupon to your account, then either print the Cartwheel bar code just like a coupon OR use your mobile device at checkout to pull up your Cartwheel account to scan the bar code. Seems fairly easy to me. Once I try it out I'll let you know how it went for sure. Also, if you have a Target RedCard (Debit or credit, I have the debit card) you save another 5%!! That makes up for a lot of savings on this transaction. 10% off plus up to $4 off each sunblock bottle! Sweet!

28 Days!!!

Seriously! I'm so excited... only 4 weeks until I can have this baby! My original due date is June 19th but I can go in a week early, and I will if I make it that far. Let's just say I have BIG babies! ;)  My last baby was 8 pounds even at 15 days early! 

With that being said I have two things on my mind...

1) What needs to be done before baby gets here?

2) Baby Names!! 
We don't know the gender so we are coming up with both boy and girl names... 
and we need help!!

Any Ideas?


And just for you all, that means I'm sure I won't be posting near as much for the next little while... hope you understand! ;) If not, well... owell. Mommyhood is most important and with this being our 4th we have some adjusting to do! LOL!

$25 Credit to Ting.com! Frugal Phone Service!


towards either your new phone purchase or your monthly service! 

*If you don't want to read my Ting story, just click the link to learn about it for yourself :) You'll be glad you did and you'll save A LOT on your wireless phone bill too!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For months now we have been trying to decide what to do about getting new phones. 
We were with Verizon but haven't been under contract for over a year. We don't move hastily into decisions that involve contracts. 

Our service was about $65 for two "dumb" phones. We haven't ever moved up to the smart phone stage. Smart phones just had a lot going against them in our minds... mostly just $$$... too many dollars going out the window for the service. We could have signed a new 2 year contract with Verizon and got free iPhones but we would be paying AT LEAST $100 (that's with a 17% discount) for two smart phones. 

It just made my stomach churn to think about throwing away a $100 bill every month for stupid "smart" phones!

Thank goodness a friend of mine told me about TING!

Instead of paying $100+ with Verizon, we'll be paying about $65 (or less!) for two smart phones and a dumb(basic) phone!

Advantages of TING:

  • NO CONTRACTS
  • Frugal Plans
  • Not locked into a specific plan
  • Uses Sprints Network
  • Some Sprint Phones are compatible 
  • about HALF the price of what Verizon and other companies would charge
  • Smart Phones at a SMART PRICE!!
  • You can transfer your current phone number over too- at no extra charge!
  • You can also use your own wireless network(or hot spots) without it going against your data usage!
For a visual of how Ting works and to calculate your savings, click this link or watch this video below.


We will pay $56 + surcharges for 2 smart phones and 1 basic phone!!! 

If we are under that, they won't over charge us either... and if one month we use extra, no big deal, we won't be locked into a higher plan. Right now we pay $100+ (with a discount) for 3 phones, all basic phones too.

I'm so excited to have a Smart Phone for so many reasons and so glad that Ting makes it affordable!

And remember, when you use my link you'll get a $25 credit towards your new phone or monthly service with Ting!

Here's what you need to do.
Purchase 2 Select Diapers, Get a $10 Target Gift Card
Possible Scenario #1:
Purchase 2 Huggies Super Packs Diapers at $24.99 each for $49.98 total

FREE Baby Sling, Canopy, Nursing Cover AND Nursing Pads!

 Yes that's a lot of FREE items for baby! I have personally ordered 2 slings and a nursing cover from these companies before... I have loved them too. My only tip is to not dry them, especially the sling or it will shrink. Lesson learned!

The only "catch" to the FREE items is that you pay shipping and handling which will vary from item to item. For the sling and the nursing cover I believe I paid $9.95-$12.95.  I'm not sure the shipping costs on the car seat canopy or the nursing pads though.

You will need to order each item separately, even the nursing pads and nursing cover that are on the same website. You can order as many as you want with the code too as long as you do them individually.

The great thing is the code is the same for all websites and items... 

use code MOTHERHOOD13 at checkout on each item.

***UPDATE: You can also use the same code to buy the GIFT SETS that include a nursing cover, 4 nursing pads, and a nursing bracelet to help you remember what "side" you are on, lol... making them only $5 plus shipping and handling which is $11.95) 

$5 Gift Set from Udder Covers

FREE sling from Seven Slings

FREE Nursing Pads(10 pairs) from Udder Cover's

FREE Nursing Cover from UdderCover's

FREE Car Seat Canopy from Car Seat Canopy

Enjoy!!!

FREE clothing from Target Up-cycled!

Do you remember me posting about getting totally FREE KIDS CLOTHING from Target?! 

Here's the clothing I scored for FREE!! 


I got two long sleeve shirts and 2 shorts, exact same for my two girls.

Since it's already MEGA hot where we live I sure wasn't going make my girls wear long sleeve shirts and the sizes wouldn't fit them come winter time. 

So this is what I did! 

(I wish I was a professional photographer but I'm not and I'm too impatient to keep trying for better photos after I finish a project, lol!)
  • Cut off the sleeves to the desired length.
  • Cut both sleeves into 2 long strips(4 total)
  • Sewed strips together
  • Used strips to add a ruffle to the bottom of the shirt
  • Used even the scrap serged end I cut off to make bows for the sides
  • Added a tiny bit of ric rac to the sleeves and....

 BAM! I now have a cute SHORT sleeve shirt for FREE!
One down one more to go!

I think it's safe to say SHE LOVES HER NEW FREE OUTFIT!

HUGE Epic Mickey Debt Count Down!! Month 20!

Oh goodness... 

We are only 4 months away from the mark we set to PAY OFF all our debts(besides the mortgage). This month sure did give it a good push! We decided to stall looking for a new home and put our savings for the down payment into our Debt Snowball! 
Mickey is finally changing his looks a bit! 

FINALLY DONE WITH HIS EARS! WOW! 
As for our original goal of being out of Debt in 4 months, I'm sure hoping we can do it but it's going to take selling our condo to get there! We originally were going to rent out the condo but have decided {I think} that selling it is the best option for us in this time of our lives. We'll probably never get the chance to get such a good deal on a potential investment property again but we'll get the chance to be debt free and possibly have a 20% down on a new home! 
Praying and hoping it works out that way! 

As Dave says, pay off debts first, then save and invest!

And as I have always been taught by my parents and through my faith, have faith and trust in the Lord. While we have our agency, when we involve the Lord in our lives and every decision, we can be directed to where and what we are supposed to really be doing in this life and the next! I know that as we do our best the Lord helps make up in the areas we lack. 
Thank Heavens for that!



Back Story:
**As a family we decided to change our lives by paying off debt. We needed motivation to keep us going. This Epic Mickey represents how much debt we owe. Each filled in square represents a dollar amount paid off. Once the entire Mickey is filled in, we will be debt free besides our home. Then we'll party in style with Disney to celebrate! We have included a monthly plan to have the savings set aside to pay for the trip too so we won't be back tracking just to celebrate. Take the journey with us as we share tips and tricks to save money, generate more money, free ourselves from the chains of debt and create a better future for our family and yours!

Yard Sale Tips

Yard Sale Refresher!
It's that time again! I've been getting itchy to do another yard sale and also to shop the yard sales... I've noticed a lot of really bad signage(no offense-if it was you, you probably didn't read this post before :) )... and realized if they don't put effort into the sign, they really don't usually have anything worth while so PLEASE... If you have AWESOME stuff and really want to sell it, read through these tips :)

Yard Sale Season is upon us. It's a great time to get rid of clutter, downsize, or empty out those storage units AND make some cash! I have done a few yard sales... and recently. I have read up on tips for yard sales and learned a few of my own.

These are the tips I suggest if you are going to be putting on a yard sale:
Some of these tips I learned from All Things Thrifty.

ADVERTISEMENT:
1) Use Craigslist.org or a local classifieds(KSL.com) to post yard sales for free. I suggest listing it about 5 days prior to the sale and then the day before the sale. Include a list of the best items for sale, the time and location, and pictures if possible.

2) Use all the same color poster board and make sure they all look alike so your potential "customers" don't get confused. Cut them in half for major stop light areas, then in fourths as you get closer to the actual location (I posted them around the entire block where we were having our sale)

3)USE A FAT BLACK PERMANENT MARKER. Simply put Yard Sale with an arrow directing traffic(make sure you know which way the arrow should point)... I left some blank just in case I need to rethink the location of the sign. If the sign is a couple of blocks away, put a simple address under the arrow.

4)Make sure you are getting every angle for drivers- 4 signs are best but AT LEAST TWO for the different directions of traffic at the major stop lights near by. Be sure to keep the signs no more than 2 blocks apart so traffic can easily spot the direction they need to go without getting lost. 

DISPLAY:

There are different methods you can take for this one but these are the ones I like most.

1)ALWAYS SET UP EARLY. If your garage sale is at 8am... be there at 6am getting everything set up... PEOPLE WILL COME AT 7!!! Early bird catches the worm. Seriously! And that means YOU can get rid of more clutter.

2) Try to categorize by kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, clothing, electronics, shoes, baby gear, furniture, ect. If you have a baby crib, a stroller, baby clothes and accessories- put them all in an area of their own... just like at an actual store. This goes for everything you have for sale... have a computer desk and cords to sell? Put them together. Set up "rooms" with the furniture.

3) Clothing. This is my weak spot. I know you get more money if you iron and hang all your clothing up but the time spent doing that isn't worth it to me. So INSTEAD, I do try to hang clothing up if I have the space to do so but if not, I have a huge tarp to lay the clothing out on. Organize it by gender, size, and season. This just makes it easier for a buyer to spot what they might be looking for. 

4) Bring furniture- like dressers and couches clear out to the side walk area to draw people in. And wipe down any furniture as well.

Other tips:

1) Have an overall theme for your garage sale. Once I gave everyone a free magazine with their purchase(I had a lot that were about to hit the trash) or a free mini calculator(I also had an abundance of these) if they spent $10 or more. *Back to the clothing for a second, I often use the clothing to pull people in- $2 per grocery bag(which I would have available) of clothing or 10 CENT TOPS... that keeps them looking and they may just spot something else along the way that costs a little more. 

Other common themes are bake sales included with the garage sale, or hand made goods, or a lemonade stand- your kids will make it a success;)

2) Always ALWAYS try to have AT LEAST 2 families doing it together- then you can advertise honestly as a multi family yard sale... this is much more appealing because that triggers in the buyers mind- twice as much stuff to buy!

3) Pricing, I have tried both not pricing anything and pricing everything. I actually like pricing just the big ticket items, price them for MORE than you really want so the customers can haggle with you(it is part of the experience for lots of yard sale goers) then you will most likely end up with what you want for it.

4) Be sure to welcome them to your garage sale- as if they are walking into a store. Stores know what they are doing and that's why we buy from them.

5) For all the items without a price, have the lowest price in your mind that you are ok with selling it for so when someone asks, "how much?" You can either respond with "How much would you pay for it?" or you can give them a STARTING point to barter with.

All in all, be prepared, start early and have fun making some money!

FREE Kids Clothes at TARGET! Seriously! 50 Cent Flip Flops too...

I headed to Target to snag a couple of flip flops for $.50 each but before heading over I decided to check out the other Target Apparel coupons and ended up printing a few different ones. 
SO glad I did!

So here's the two deals I snagged and you can too!

(Thank you Nor Cal Coupon Gal)

$.50 Flip Flops!

Print Target $2 off Coupon (Can print it twice!)
Buy Flip Flops priced at $2.50
Pay $.50 each! 
(EASY!!! FYI- only the solid colored ones were marked $2.50 at my store BUT there were other cute flip flops on clearance you could use the coupon on too. The nicer kind that were originally $12.50 marked to $6.49, after coupon would be $4.49... I went with the basic though)
FREE KIDS CLOTHES

2 Long Sleeved Shirts marked down to $2.50 each
2 pair Shorts(basic legging type of shorts) marked down to $2.50
After Coupon it would be $.50 per item!
BUT... there was an extra deal that showed up on my receipt and each item was only $2!! 
SOOO they were FREE!!!

I think it's because I bought 4 items but I'm not sure. So might as well print two coupons and get 4 items each... Gotta LOVE FREE kids clothing! I plan on making the plain white long sleeve shirts into cap sleeve tees and embellishing them so I'll show you that sewing project later. :)

It was funny because at checkout I wanted to buy some gum so I threw in a pack that was $1.09(clearance)... I was thinking my total would be around $5-6. The cashier rang up the coupons and it came to $2.09!!! I paid more for the gum than all the clothing and flip flops!

Onion Crunch! Yum Yum Yum! (Review)

Move over French's fried onions! There's another crunchy onion coming to the dinner table. 

Onion Crunch! Yum! Yum! Yum!

I was given the opportunity to try out Onion Crunch's Original Flavor of fried onions. 
We personally almost always use fried onions for green bean casserole but when presented with Onion Crunch, we were also presented with many different ways to use fried onions.

For our review, we tried 3 different methods. Onion Fried Chicken, Onion Crunch as salad toppers, and even Onion Crunch on our hamburgers. 

We used a recipe directly from Onion Crunch's website for the chicken. While it was good and we definitely liked the crunchy exterior, we think a FLAVORED Onion crunch would be best for the chicken. We like a little spice to our food ;) 
Which led us to the salad. We cut up what Onion Crunch covered chicken was left and tossed it right into our normal house salad... and we even added more Onion Crunch. 
It was PERFECTO! 

And of course, it was the perfect topping to our hamburgers too!
Sorry I don't have pictures for them but here is one from Onion Crunch's website... 
Looks delicious right?! 

Use Onion Crunch on salads, hot dogs, hamburgers, casseroles, chicken, dips, soups, fish, pizza, baked potatoes and so much more! Adds just enough crunch and a great additional flavoring to your favorite recipes. 

I also love that they have snack size bags of Onion crunch to take with you for lunch or eat plain... ya know like when you are pregnant and need a little crunchy flavor ;)

Overall, I like the product and the taste. I would love to try the flavored kind as well. My kids really like the Onion Crunch guy too... my boy has been saying, "Onion Crunchy Yum Yum Yum!" quite frequently lately. Ya I'd say he's a fan!

Did you know???

Onion Crunch has a shelf life of 1 year too! Not that it'll last that long as soon as you taste it because you'll be eating it up fast!

TO BUY:

Find locations near you that sell Onion Crunch.

Check Out Onion Crunch on Facebook and Twitter.

I have seen lots of different body wraps out there and wondered how effective they are. Of course,  being pregnant, NOT EFFECTIVE for me right now, lol. Otherwise, I'd be joining in on the party!
I also like that it is offered through doTerra so it's an all natural method too. 

Combine the wraps with Velocity and you'll be Slim for Summer in no time! YAY!

If you go, let me know what you think of the Slim & Sassy wraps!

Thanks Julie!

BACK TO CASH ONLY! My New Lil' Budget Book!

For quite a while now I have been using my debit card instead of actual CASH. 
I know right?! I did WHAT?!!!


We(my husband and I) got to a place where our budget wasn't as tight and we liked the idea of earning perks for everything we spent.. BUT then it hits us.....
"We don't really WANT to earn perks as fast as we are! Just means we are spending too much $$" 

Even though it is still "technically" cash when using a debit card, I find myself feeling ok with spending a couple extra bucks here and there when swiping plastic. It's not as hard to part with when I don't see it. As for my husband, I think he's the same way but he doesn't do most of the shopping so I realize a majority of the problem is with me! 

"When you use CASH, you spend 12-18% LESS than when you spend on PLASTIC!" 
- Dave Ramsey 


As I stated before, Pregnancy and Finances don't mix too well- at least for me! SOOO I made me a new MLBB to get back into the swing of things and I'm using CASH BABY! 

I personally LOVE My new Lil' Budget Book!! Isn't it adorable?!!

(It even makes me want to start making them again!)


So to all of you who might be back at this stage again, know you aren't the only one! 
Let's get back on track and start saving more and spending less. :) 


Here is a sneak peak of my new Craft Closet too...
I still have lots to do with it but it's for sure feeling like my favorite space in the house already!
