Okay now I can get on with my blog. </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#000000;">It took my body a full 24 hours to stop rejecting food. Once I felt 100% myself I decided to use up some of my February coupons. </span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#000000;">I went to CVS and Walgreens today. I got all this for a whooping $12.22. Not bad since the diapers alone would have cost me $10 and the toliet bowl cleaner was originally $10.00</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#000000;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5714256923919368274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0MWqMbF1MCPhydQyLFYrOsdn0hgPo0clpmUdQoWAHPwQ4nUGnj891eafDV7uSrPHNxTtPZvk2PtFStjCDCys_tc3sDHg_LQdkvmK5LUYrMDQ95yfA8ArPrZmAxHf9y-tmRr6r-xTPC8w/s320/DSCN0839.JPG" /></span></div><br /><br /><p><span style="color:#000000;">Huggies Diapers $5.00</span></p><br /><p><span style="color:#000000;">Two packages of mini eggs and hershey kisses $5.00 (I can't help it im obsessed with them so when they're on sale for around $2.00 I can't resist.</span></p><br /><p><span style="color:#000000;">Toilet Bowl Cleaner Free</span></p><br /><p><span style="color:#000000;">Hair Dye for my mom $.99</span></p><br /><p><span style="color:#000000;">Wipe board for the fridge .75 (75% off clearance)</span></p><br /><p><span style="color:#000000;">As I was walking out of CVS I saw a free cart. Of course I had to go by and look. I grabbed these plastic bags thinking they were cute and i could do something with them next year for the kids at school. After I got home I saw that they all had ziploc tops. Im going to use them for my snacks in my lunches. Hey who cares if they're valentine's day they were free.</span></p><br /><p><span style="color:#000000;">Not bad for a Tuesday shopping trip!</span></p>Thrifty Chichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07544369485284642795noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422001573211475032.post-68334283283581181002012-02-26T17:17:00.008-08:002012-02-26T17:34:53.406-08:00Sunday Savings, Snow, and Sickness<span style="color:#000000;">I am finally on February vacation!

I also got to do some couponing and thrifting!</span></div><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708777765363777186" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwPEhqRQFjDlydVI-1X_E3gBnSSUdcFnnRUiFghNDkg9WquX0jURUJetb-ot-8G8Pkfrt6_z7JG2Qv92Q_lEG5TdQVoIsl-LLoXoNyE7_QUba-O6hxVSilP0USL-y_2a2MJeD5cuaIdqo/s320/DSCN0821.JPG" /><br /><br /></span><br /><div><span style="color:#000000;">I found some thrifty clothes for Miss Baby at a $1.00 a piece</span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#000000;">My mom came up and gave Miss Baby this little people Ark she found at the dump after a hot soak in some water and bleach I thought this was quite a deal since they retail around $30.00</span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#000000;">Mom also came up with some left over valentines and a learn to read kit for my kiddos at school.</span></div><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708778534536567506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCWm9MDSYrJz9GFeXMDJs97eOMDfm8HtWSLURvNOw2vxu_MB0J83FkPS4vHfWiREWzeNKjE4ULSoZhRIYZ7XSUP94A8LcoWGex5aE0T_bfx3V9G4hEp9b0j1w9JOUISiQssVqbazzClKw/s320/DSCN0823.JPG" /><br /></span><br /><div><span style="color:#000000;">I got all this ( and another bag of pb M&Ms that never made it to this picture) for $9.00.

She explained her mom had the website and would get me the information. Low and behold in my mail ended up this beautiful bag with my name embroidered on it. What a wonderful surprise. My friend's mom is so sweet and truly delightful. She lives in Virginia and whenever she comes up she is just so sweet. </span></p><br /><p><span style="color:#000000;">My best friend also sent me coupons.

Is to blog more!<span style="color:#000000;">Okay after my 4 months + hiatus i've decided im going to blog more! Miss Baby and I had a chat and we decided that we just need to be much more diligent taking pictures and blogging. We love to read all of your blogs so we need to do a better job at updating this one!</span> <br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><span style="color:#000000;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#000000;">This week has been a blur.. Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Miss Baby's 1st Birthday, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, and Miss Baby's first birthday party. Wheww we are exhausted but happy. This year the holidays were harder than ever. We didn't get to see Gramie and Pepe Dupuis because Miss Baby had a cold and Pepe can't be around anyone sick. Well we are on the mend and can't wait to see them soon! Here are some pictures of Miss Baby's first Christmas and birthday.

So while she was off having fun I decided to shop the dump store on Sunday morning. Not much there. But here is what I did find: Of course the price was right being FREE :)<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643368672976858786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfxSp7nnUkE4pIIR2p4b02Y3eXZ4BqliDwHcQ_DYFXsZyoy2Dgnr-lDbOEoTSWwMpAqnD2meQmi13yjMH2bb13Pqcra_skxgtkNeNFJq9EGnVkYUGOny4MgfIInpoaD4fNl-UfZ8jox6k/s320/DSCN0560.JPG" />

<br />Brand New with the plastic wrap still on it Skateboarding game. Im going to donate it to our auction at school the kids will love it.</li>
<br />
<br />
<br /><li>An adorable Tails book for Miss Baby</li>
<br />
<br />
<br /><li>A coloring book with only two pages colored in.</li>
<br />
<br />
<br /><li>Christmas book</li>
<br />
<br />
<br /><li>An old trading spaces book but I love to look at the pictures for decorating ideas.</li></ul>
<br />
<br />
<br /><p>Also in this picture is my other thrifty buy from last Christmas. This tablecloth was 75% off after Christmas at TJ Maxx. I paid $2.00 for it. I don't think it looks christmassy so I use it year round. I always scour the after christmas deals sometimes you find things that are not christmassy that are great deals!
<br /></p>Hope everyone had a great weekend!

A ton of clothes from J Crew and H&M for our friend who is a skinny mini and some great clothes for her son from Old Navy about 12 pieces in all. Our loot included this fabulous wool jacket from JCrew. Our pile has clothing pieces ranging from skirts to dresses and tops. I also found a candle stick with a price tag of $13.95 from Pier One. A couple of magazines, and a bath toy from carters for miss baby.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyO8Y7q0XiCg2IVq9UI_3Bo74e47QDBgNu_dM7ZdVOoiMbNXVh7nONbIn2o5ieIb0jIgq-tl1s602_Z5YUKOEvZe1Oycj8cOzPlCeKg2Fbsz3bVVvP_lUNsYR0Pl7UcNATNhvZtbLLpR0/s1600/DSCN0514.JPG"><span style="color:#000000;"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633731865228562706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyO8Y7q0XiCg2IVq9UI_3Bo74e47QDBgNu_dM7ZdVOoiMbNXVh7nONbIn2o5ieIb0jIgq-tl1s602_Z5YUKOEvZe1Oycj8cOzPlCeKg2Fbsz3bVVvP_lUNsYR0Pl7UcNATNhvZtbLLpR0/s320/DSCN0514.JPG" /></span></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxxafkfz7aFZMsXx0xajDzMUsZXsE9tvePyQwiivKAWvWndpb8814h3Arl82hBzyUcSqCjOJSyLlfih5inGY0TMxATn45JNmCONhbDtqKeGQr8o144-0UyhaY4C8OtSKjDH_pI9hzqRmk/s1600/DSCN0516.JPG"><span style="color:#000000;"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633732863891186146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxxafkfz7aFZMsXx0xajDzMUsZXsE9tvePyQwiivKAWvWndpb8814h3Arl82hBzyUcSqCjOJSyLlfih5inGY0TMxATn45JNmCONhbDtqKeGQr8o144-0UyhaY4C8OtSKjDH_pI9hzqRmk/s320/DSCN0516.JPG" /></span></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#000000;"></span></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#000000;"></span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#000000;"></span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#000000;"></span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#000000;">The pictures were taken hastily it was lunch time for Miss Baby and when that girl wants to eat she wants to eat NOW. After Miss Baby settled down for a snooze to dream about all of our great finds, i steamed some fruits and pureed them. Baby food is way to expensive and I like to know what my kiddo is eating so that is my frugal mom attempt. Im glad the heat has broken maybe I can attempt to do one of projects on my to do list.</span></div></div></div>Thrifty Chichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07544369485284642795noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422001573211475032.post-52560145695183460022011-07-05T10:38:00.000-07:002011-07-05T11:04:46.296-07:00Busy Busy Bee<span style="color:#000000;">Hey there blog friends I am still alive I promise!

A majority of the stuff was overpriced and dirty. So here is my "haul" according to my husband. I think he's been watching a bit too much extreme couponing lately</span><br /><br /><p><span style="color:#000000;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611871335917576210" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipfRzwsQWUjRikHdABjxDFE05M1lBkp5G3vRUqWCAyM63ahVYU3b5grWdmBOyMV01LPAscB3JBR7ESmBZwZFWfZgFcuJTcXohgT53y40OhmRG4zUV8ZY58fWV29NM15wXdaljDacWWnqQ/s320/DSCN0311.JPG" /></span></p><br /><p><span style="color:#000000;"></span></p><br /><ul><br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">A Zipper notebook for my coupon binder(more about my extreme coupon attempts later) .50</span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Ugg Boots $5.00</span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Never Been Opened a gallon of martha stewart white paint $2.00</span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Basket, infant swim trunks (for a friends), Baby Toy, and infant toy $8.00</span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Two outdoor pillows $2.00</span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Pencil Case from L.L.Bean also for my coupon binder $1.00</span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Large pine cone $.10 (some reason I thought it was cool)</span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Two infant toys $.25</span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Garden Ornament Snail 1.00</span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Sports Bra- I wasn't to into looking at sports bras at a yard sale but the woman swore she bought it and got it home and it didn't fit and was too lazy to bring it back.

I have the best husband in the world. He printed all of the yardsales from the paper and arranged them by location. Isn't he fabulous! He also installed a ceiling fan in Miss Baby's room, because it is hot hot hot here. I really am a lucky gal! We are going to enjoy the rest our evening with wine and hope that these huge scary thunderstorms will pass us. </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#000000;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#000000;">I can't wait to see what the Memorial Day yardsales have in store.

My family received some very upsetting news about my father's health. He will fight and get through it but right now he needs all the good thoughts he can get. Here is a picture of him and Miss Baby from last weekend. Now that is truely love right there. My mom has a better one of her resting her arm on his tummy and listening to him.<br /></span><br /><br /><p><span style="color:#000000;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609236619109604882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1bZF-uYT3hGQbxzG6Omay5GP0UL8n4pFCQW9Z_70y-WisYmVG6z_dMDY647Ro7WgXaWiwBWeDlGVMepl0qI0Qqx31O1UjVuNGKGva2VDFVHav0oYWzzfzibDZu7LFfSqOzQq4gRspiH8/s320/pepe+and+Bryn" /> Miss Baby and I did some yard saling today. We didn't hit too many we are saving our money and time for next weekend. The mother load of all weekends. For some reason today everyone thought that their crap was worth more than it was. I looked at these adorable bathroom pictures 4 to be exact. The woman priced them at $40.00 for the set. I turned them over and saw a $1.99 price tag from xmas tree shop on each, and they still smelled like her bathroom... yuck. Here is what I did mange to find:<br /></span></p><br /><p><span style="color:#000000;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609238755920835922" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWhOrdS_hmtKp6cwTeEHjlJ4WXL9a5CF4LV-wDfzmYDrxNRlaJ7TWH3Ko7XVPWOOz65JSg4NNJuD46ChyphenhyphenorPx3ouzznNq3scu58cwFLDBzOYIr8_Lp4l1DocULxzm66vXezXUaO4DBAOM/s320/DSCN0308.JPG" /><br />A brand new yankee candles with a tin topper $1.00</span></p><br /><p><span style="color:#000000;">A big towel with princess embroidered in it for $1.00</span></p><br /><p><span style="color:#000000;">Skirt $1.00</span></p><br /><p><span style="color:#000000;">Baby clothes $1.50 for all three (my friend is having a baby boy so this romper was cute for $.50)</span></p><br /><p><span style="color:#000000;">Cat's Meow village figure $1.00. If you've never heard of Cat's meow, it is a company that creates figures of historial/local places with a black cat painted on them. This one is of a beautiful covered bridge two towns over from us. </span></p><br /><p><span style="color:#000000;">Grand Total of $5.50</span></p><br /><p><span style="color:#000000;">Our first yard sale was an indoor yard sale for a house that had just sold. I fell in love instantly it was built in the early 1900's and was so cute and quirky. It was situated on 2 acres of land and looked like a lake cabin. It had tons of built in cabinets and an adorable set up. My husband was horrified that I fell in love with it so fast. I love older fixer upper houses with character he likes brand new ready to move in houses. (Also this house was right across the street from his aunt and uncle, which i had to remind him is not a deciding factor in our next house considering half our small town is related to us somehow). Im off to go plan my attack for next weekend's yard saling extravaganza! </span></p>Thrifty Chichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07544369485284642795noreply@blogger.com2
