Garage Sales for Winter Clothing

Do you need winter clothing for your little ones? If so start checking out garage sales. Garage sales are a great way to cloth your children especially young children this way. Sometimes you can even find new clothing that has never been worn for a reasonable price. There are also group garages sales. For an example, www.herewegrowagain.biz is a large garage sale that happens a couple of times a year. Their prices are not retail and not garage sale. They are right in the middle. However as the sale goes on prices get cheaper. This is what I wait for. I believe if I am not mistaken on Saturday all prices go 50%. So check it out later and see if you can even find some play clothing for your kiddos.

Gift Certificates

Do you know that on restaurants.com you can find restaurant gift certificates at a cheaper value? They usually have some stipulations on the gift certficiate but however if you want a good deal this is the way to go. Some stipulations might include you spending $35 or such. Just read the fine print before using to make sure this is a good deal for you. Usually you can get a $25 gift certficate for $10. There sometimes are coupon codes out in the internet to google that can even lower this price. I personally have not used this but do know of some friends who have and love this. I think this website would work for special occasions and large groups of people of large families. I plan on using this soon.

Todays is the day to hang with family

We have extended family in from town so I am down here in southern Kansas just chillin with my hubbies family. This weekend we get to go to the lake for a family reunion. This should be a good time. I am hoping that it does not rain like the one time it did a few years ago. So if you do not here from me in a few days that is why. Next week is Vacation bible school so I am limited in my time available. So I hope you have a great week if I do not post. Who knows...

Kansas City Chalk & Walk Festival

Kansas City River Market

This is a free attraction for the whole family to enjoy. The farmers market is a great experience for kids to see all different types of vegetables and maybe you can pick some out to make something wonderfully homemade with your kids. Usually a vendor will work with you on prices which can make this trip a win win for all to enjoy. If this is not close to you then check for a local farmers market however I feel this trip is well worth it. There are also many other attractions there that do cost money however. Totally try to stay in budget! Thats the key, if you want to enjoy have a budget before you go. Here is the link, so you can check out the attraction before you go. Have Fun!

Vacation Bible Schools

Vacation Bible schools are a great way to get your kids to have a great fun filled week for free. Not only do they get to learn about Jesus, but they teach them how to accept them into their hearts. This free activity could be the most life changing event for kids. Don't miss out on the fun.... If you do not have a local church, look around at your signs on your churchs near your home and see if its something your kids could enjoy. Who knows you may find some great friends and great church home this way. Pray about where God wants your kids and he will lead you! Have a great time!

Check your local library

I personally was checking our local library and found tons of educational or fun things to do with my children during the summer. They had movie nights for the whole family to spanish classes for kiddos. Even if you do not find what you are looking for check with other neighboring towns and make it a field trip for the kids. Could be great day filled with the library and a picnic at a new park. Free ideas for the wonderful summer filled with little adventures for the kids!

Deanna Rose Childrens Farmstead

As I have talked about previously, this is one of my favorite free places to visit with my kids. We all seem to enjoy it tremdously.

Price Chopper and Hy Vee

Check your sale ad's this week tons of 10 for 10$... I used coupons on top of it all, I ended up saving 144$ on my bill at Price Chopper this week. I only spent 162. Yes ladies I almost saved half of my bill doing deals with coupons. I got tons of deals, and this food will last us at least a couple of months if not more.

The cashier at price chopper said I set a record on how much any person has savedin her line. The cash register even stopped in the middle with all the coupons I had and asked for a manger. The manager had to finish putting the last half of my coupons in the system. She was in complete shock. The cashier asked me if I do this alot. I let her know about my 28 cent bargain at CVS. I only spent 28cents and walked out with 6 bags of groceries with my sales and coupons, then I had CVS bucks. I then let her know about my walgreens trip yesterday. I walked out of the store with 4 bags of groceries and had 58cents to spare. I had sales plus coupons plus walgreens money, and then a walgreens giftcard they had sent me for buying items last month. She then could not believe everything I told her. Then the whole line of people behind got interested in this deal. So I just let all know my plans of organizing my coupons and ads!!!!

Price Chopper

Hello all,
Take a look at this weekends Price Chopper ad.... Tons of 10 for 10$. Then match up coupons and stock load... I noticed several items way cheaper than normal on this ad. Also I noticed the Knoll pasta's at a very low price, I had some coupons that I had saved. Just take a look and see what you have, and I bet you can get great deals this weekend! Happy shopping!

Coupon Sunday

The Sunday paper is great way to get coupons. I get very excited in the mornings looking for my paper. Before church I go pick it up. Then after church and family lunch time. Its couponing time.. Yeah baby! I usually spend a couple of hours just enjoying myself. I organize my coupon book, to make sure I don't have any expired coupons. Then I add the new ones. I also pull out the ones that will be expiring soon in hopes of finding a sale on them as well.



I go through every sale ad. Yes ladies I said every. You never know what is the best deal until you look at it all... Match as many coupons as you can with a sale. That is a great way to save money or even get the item FREE! Yes I said FREE! I have gotten tons of items FREE.

There are many other ways to get coupons, but that will be for a later date.
