Dillons Mega trip #3

Bento snack and Round 2 @ Dillons

I just got a part time job so my Granny is coming over to watch the kiddos today and of course they will need a snack since I will not get home till after when dinner is normally ready, I made these in the new little bento that I bought at the $ General yesterday. I bought the cute little silicon squares on ebay a while back they are Wilton and fit PERFECT in the boxes!!!!
Snack- Left over Chicken lunch meat from the other day bento, Noah's Ark cheese cut outs, cucumbers, carrots, grapes, animal crackers and yogurt (the kids favorite!!)

And last night since the kids were not here I made a late night run to Dillon's and this is what I came home with for $10.XX I thought I would going to get $2.00 back for the yogurt but I bought the wrong one. Oh well still a good deal. And before anyone freaks we will not be keeping all of that canned food. But they were FREE and I will donate some and give some to my niece and nephew.

BENTOS!!!!!!!!!!!

I have had a lot of people asking me about Bentos and where the best place to buy them from. Well here you all go...........

When I first started getting into this I was looking at EBay but the shipping was going to cost as much as the items. So I kept looking and found this WONDERFUL site located in California (they ship FAST and not a lot of $$$) http://www.allthingsforsale.com/104-bento-box I have placed every order from them of a Friday and never fails the package is here Monday. Now that is what I'm talking about. lol

I also ordered the Sassy Box  from a website online but for the life of me I can not remember. Ive heard they are in the sale area (baby section) at Target for $2.98.

I also found these great boxes at the Dollar General store for $1.00, I just went and picked up 2 more for Mark and I. They say they are not dishwasher or Micro safe but Ive used them in both and no problems.

Another great place to look is amazon.com and use your swag bucks Amazon gift cards to get them for FREE!!

Also there are these http://www.easylunchboxes.com/ I have yet to order from them but I plan on doing so before Isabelle starts school.

Here is a list of sites I LOVE........

Thanks and have a great day!!

REALLY $586.00

Why I love garage sales and finding a good deal a couple weeks ago I found Isabelle a Leapfrog Learning system with a bag and some games for 15.00 if you remember I also bought her more books and games today for $6.00 and found Jake My First Leappad for $5.00. OOP for both systems and games $26.00

So while Jake is napping and Isabelle is playing with her learning pad I added up what it owuld cost FULL price (which we all know I would NEVER spend full price on ANYTHING) but it is fun to just see.

Lets start with Jakes

For the System would be $60.00

On to Isabelles
System $80.00
Bag $20.00
Games/books 20 total $300.00 at $15.00 each which I really think they are more new

TOTAL $400.00 I spent $21.00

SO CRAZY TO THINK ABOUT gotta love a good deal and HOURS of FUN and LEARNING

Garage Sales $21.50 spent

So about 1030 I decided we would go to the town of Battlefield for garage sales and I'm sure glad I did we did very well. And then kids loved riding around in the car and watching a movie for a while.

I had no cash on me so I just brought the change holder (it has a TON in it) lol just to lazy to run to the back.

This is what I came home with for Jake and 1 shirt is for my nephew

Toy Story Dino $1.00

Books for her leapster $1.00 each they were marked $2.00 offered $1.00 each and he took it...the only thing it was so HOT I didn't realize that one didn't have a cartridge with it on well. SO $6.00 total

Dinner with family

Last night I went to Dillons and they had hams for 1.09 a pound but they expire  between the 2nd and 3rd so I knew they would be marking them down again today . So this morning Jake and myself ran up to Dillons and they were marked for 0.50 a POUND so of course I called my SIL and Mom. lol

Came home with 7 hams for everyone to enjoy can you see the looks I got. Oh well good deal for us.
So tonight for dinner we will be eating Ham ($4.64), bagged mashed potatoes (FREE) and Salad (cheap) so I'm guessing for under $10.00 8 of us will be eating good and having leftovers also.

Then I was thinking what for desert I had bought some rice krispies a while ago from 0.67 a box, FREE butter and cheap marshmallows from Aldis....can you guess what I made???

That's right Rice treats for less then $2.00 and much better then store bought see....

Hope you all have a great dinner tonight I know we will.
