Kmart Doubles--Our Store is Doubling and Scored!!

We returned from vacation to Kmart Doubling :) Doc got called in and he dropped me off at Kmart and headed to do a surgery while I shopped.

Many stores have the 10 item limit, but our store manager told me to go shopping and use as many coupons as I want. I think he wants to boost sales. I am careful that I just don't cherry pick the FREEBIES, but actually spend money on things we use.

Hints:

• Call your Kmarts to check to see if your store is doubling and the policy and limits.
• Use a $5/$50 Printable Here and the Register will give you another $5/$50 Grocery and Beauty Coupons
• Break your order into $50 increments before tax to take advantage of using the $5/$50 to its fullest advantage.
  
• A Buy One Get One Free Coupon for items $2.00 or under gives you two FREE.
• Pick up the Flyers and Use the $3.00 off 5 Quaker Coupons with Mfg. Coupons.

I also remember to shop at Kmart not just only on Double Days, but watch their ads and and clearance for my regular shopping needs.

I broke my transactions into 4-- $50+ dollar transaction and I love our Kmart cashiers. The young man who checked me out once again, was remarking you got that for FREE. They said I was the second customer of the day and the lady that just left had over $80 worth of merchandise for around $2.00. My friend Melissa impressed the cashiers as I told them I have taught her well.

With spending under $30 I scored over $260.00 worth of products. I will go back because my cart wouldn't hold anymore. I earned $5 and $12 reward to spend, so my NET Cost $18.

I will get pictures posted, but for time sake will list my best finds. it may take me through the day to post the links for the printables, but will by tomorrow morning.

Thank God for Miracles

Kristy and Mahala










After the mini-crisis phone call this morning, we headed out to avert them with picking up all the needs of the wedding day forgets. (Walmart is the closest to the hotel, and they had everything we needed). I had downloaded the pictures right before we left, and this picture says it all of our conversation. I cried then entire way, tears of gratitude, my second set of tears for the day. And there will be plenty more. I know what we forgot at Walmart... Tissues. We will have to run back.

Kristy and Mahala... unexplainable miracles...we could have lost either of them or both, three times since the end of May. A uterine rupture which is an immediate emergency which went unnoticed and uncomplicated for weeks (one for the medical journals)...to the challenging delivery, Mahala surprised everyone with being fully out of the uterus... to Kristy's septic shock.

I had been praying for weeks, feeling something amiss, covering my children with God's protection. God answered my prayers. Having them with us for this blessed day, Becca's is still here 20 years later, our family is what truly matters. Having Becca has given me the gift of today, and treasuring each day with our loved ones.








Becca now 20 on August 3rd.















Thank God for the Miracles and Family.

Last Minute Minor Crisis

The Wedding Day is beginning with the few minor crisis that all weddings bring. The cake cutter and champagne flutes are up at the apartment in Studio City (80 miles from Southern Orange County). Jim and I are off on a mission to find some. Crisis solved.

The second phone call for the day, Marissa panicking that the Gluten-free bakery had tripled charged her debit card and they are not open until Monday. "Mom can I borrow money for my hair and nails?" "No problem, but you shouldn't be paying for that anyway." was my answer.
I send Becca out with a few hundred dollar bills, and her eyes had popped right out of her head.
Being responsible for Marissa's, Detamara's, and her own hair money is quite a honor. I won't worry she loses her purse as it is attached to her at all times, even at home.

Second crisis solved, and she had to accept help with paying for more parts of this wedding.
Marissa and Jordan have worked hard to pay for this massive affair on their meager earnings.
We are hugely proud of both of them, but it is our honor to help when they let us.

Thursday nights wedding rehearsal went without a problem, the groom's dinner was amazing.
A impromptu Dana Point Beach picnic with bonfire put together by Kristy and Chris brought our family together for an evening of relaxation before the busyness of today.

The girls are off to the hair appointments, Jim and I are off to Walmart and more for last minute needs.

Well I had best get dressed and off on the errands. As I write this last note, I am in tears,
Where did the time go, it didn't seem that long ago I was chauffering my little actress to play practice, auditions or filming of commercials. All the while marveling at my organized little grown up daughter who was set on a career. My little Bubba fluff is all grown up. (Marissa was all girl, with ruffles and saggy tights and her not being able to say Marissa called herself "Bubba" and it has stuck as Yurcek's all have nicknames, some more than others).

I will ruin the reputation of Mother-in-laws out there, that I absolutely like Jordan, and Kristy's Chris, Nathan's Stacey. The third wedding of my children, where did the time go?

Today is Wedding Day--Congratulations to Marissa and Jordan

Today is Wedding Day
We Love You!

I was just as excited to find the Star Wars Leapster game for $9.90 less my $5.00 coupon making it $4.90. (For a gift to go with the $9.98 Leapster I landing buying it on clearance and using a coupon).

The Dora and Thomas Clickster Games (I got a Clickster System on clearance for $9.99 at Kmart earlier this summer) were $5.00 less my $3.00 coupons costing me a mere $2.00 each.

Other finds:

Happy Birthday Marissa!!

Marissa is my 25-year old daughter as of Today.
Happy Birthday Marissa!! And you are not old, just I am with having a 25 year old daughter.

My daughter is getting married on September 19, to an amazing man. I will ruin the reputation of Mother-in-laws with liking my future son-in-law. Marissa will giggle and say that Jordan and I can talk writing and books and leave her out!

Some of you have read my story Tiny Titan and visit my blog just to keep up with this tribe of mine, others visit for the deals. But the deals recently have been set aside for the craziness of the needs of my family. For the next two plus weeks I will be blogging on the move and from the wedding.

Back from Hiatus--Back to School from Home

Our frugal days have been set aside for days of crisis and serving. With Kristy's critical delivery of Mahala and her septic shock to worries about a couple of the adoptive young adults, to visits to the doctor for both Becca and myself. There has been many near close calls that have been repelled by prayer and protection from above. These days have been trying and I have been focusing on supporting and praying everyone through.

School is back in session and at long last the school district finally seems to understand that Becca can learn but it is not in a school building. Today's IEP was a step in the right direction. She will be getting credit for her new job babysitting my frugal friends 4 year old daughter, building the swingset (construction trades class), a on-line self determination class and at long last her wish for animal science class :)

The meeting was productive, Becca will be getting credit for her writing on my blog and her movie deals posting demonstrating her computer skills and math skills for the teachers.
Who would ever have thought that someone would get credit for blogging? Becca is!!
Saving money and getting credit in the process.

The next two weeks of blogging will be from across the country on our trip to California for Marissa's wedding. We will be blogging our trip with how we are stretching the dollars while on vacation.

Thank you all for the prayers and Kristy is on the mend, and this Grandma cannot wait to meet the families newest arrival Baby Mahala in a week and a half.
