Profit of 0.66 hey it may not be much profit but still getting paid to shop

And we were needing to stock up on these kind of things since we are all out :)
And just a FYI the Gold Bond RR did NOT print out but the manager was so nice he just gave me cash back and before that the Gold Bond stuff was not even out on the floor and he went hunted it down for me.

Hello Im back to blogging :)

Ive been helping a friend learn the art of couponing and how fun it has been :)
Tonight we had just a girls night run around.

First I will go over my Dillon's run :)
OOP 38.04 BUT I did get a $3.50 cat for the chex mix and I will be mailing in the MIR for the pizza so I will be getting another $5.00 back :) Amount saved with store coupons and man. coupons was $114.37 which was 75 percent of course not counting the money I will be getting back this is what I came home with......yes there is a lot of processed food here :/ but we don't eat it all day everyday I can tell you that :)

After Dillon's we ran to Aldis cause I had to prove to my friend that you do get you 0.25 back ;)
OOP 26.06


And I will not be doing any other shopping for the next 2 weeks unless it is meat (which we are in need of) or FREE items that I need to stock up on ;) Oh and Walgreen's trips (but that is never a lot of money out of the pocket since I use RRewards

Have a great night!!

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........


Hope I answered a lot of your questions, if anyone has anymore just leave a comment and I will answer you.

Thanks and have a great day!!
