Great Deal!!!!

I have decided I truly LOVE deals, and coupons. If you aren't on twitter you should be, just to get these deals. You can follow a bunch of people that link you to coupons all over the web, plus blogs! Blogs full of money saving tips and menu planning on a budget. I love it so very much! Another great site is www.frogzog.com you can search for coupons for anything, then share it on facebook, twitter, or even have it texted to you so you don't have to waste the paper to print it out. Just text it to yourself and then show them the text when you get there. So as I continue to find great deals, I'll try and include them on twitter and here on my blog or facebook. They will all be under the same label 'Deals'. Also you really should look at www.savvyshopperdeals.com and try out the Shopping wizard. My new find is www.recipekey.com you can list everything in your pantry and fridge and it will tell you what recipes you can make. It will also show you ones you can make with only buying a few more ingredients. When you use stuff just take it out of your pantry and voila you can make meals with what you have! You can also add recipes, so family favorites are involved.

Great Deal!!!!

Alright so Suzy gave me a rebate offer from Kellogg's. So if I bought 10 Kellogg's items on one receipt I could mail it in for a $10 rebate. She also informed me, Macey's was having a sale. Now I'm going to do this kind of like an infomercial but bare with me. The deal was 4 for $5, the catch the discount wasn't taken until you hit four boxes. So I had to buy 12 to have at least ten items and get the rebate:

12 boxes = $33 full price = $2.75 a box
-$6 for ever set of 4
12 boxes = $15.45 (the .45 is tax) = $1.29 a box
Then the $10 rebate
12 boxes = $5.45 = $.45 a box
Then the sneaky person I am realized I have manufacturer coupons for Kellogg's so...
12 boxes = $.45 = $.04 a box
Grand savings = $32.55 = $2.71 a box

So yes $5 worth of manufacturer's coupons and my pantry is now stuffed with plenty of cereal for Nate and I. The best part is... cereal tastes so much better when you've only paid 4 cents for the entire box!!!! I just love coupons!

BEST, two days EVER!!!!

Okay so seriously this has truly been the most fabulous two days. It started yesterday when I was incredibly productive at work. Then I came home and Nate and I had a fantastic double date night with Liz and Patrick Spencer (and Audrey).

Seriously it was the best. They provided food, and we provided the house, cooking equipment and some flour. We had fun just talking and cooking dinner together. Audrey had great fun drumming on our Rock Band set. We watched a movie and basically just enjoyed visiting with each other. We then finish Hoodwinked and started spinning Audrey around in our computer chair until she was very dizzy... then we'd say run to Mommy and it was hilarious. Now don't freak out because she loved it VERY much. Seriously...she was laughing so hard and it was incredibly cute. Sorry again Patrick if Audrey wants you to spin her around all the time because of Nate. ;)

Then today I was yet again very productive at work. I loved it and I was even able to finish some school work on my breaks. For those of you that don't know I have officially started back to school to get my Secondary Education License in Math! WAHOO! So being the fantastic and loving husband that he is...Nate took me shopping. Now he didn't take me to a clothing store or to buy bags, (though bags are my second favorite thing to buy)He took me to my favorite place EVER...Office Depot!

I don't know what it is about any office supply store there is, but I love them with all of my heart. I would spend all of my money there if I could. Anyway back to my fantastic husband, he bought me the cutest graphing calculator in the world! I mean seriously check it out:

Isn't it so cute? Now some of you may wonder why a pink calculator is so awesome, but let's just say I have a thing with having my electronics being pink...don't believe me? See for yourself:

Yes I have a pink Nintendo DS and a pink phone. I love them so much but never have I loved any electronic item more than I love this calculator. I first of all Love pink electronics, and I Love calculators, so combine the two and there is a great amount of Love! So thank you to my wonderful husband for the great find. P.S. Also note the super cute blue and green function keys...AWESOME!

Look at this!

My husband is so talented! Anyway he put a slide show together for a friend and posted it on youtube so I thought I would bring it here for all to see. Also just a reminder his photography website is http://www.nathantgross.com/
