Garage Sale Season Begun--My Find of the Day















My friend Joleen called yesterday to remind me that the tiny village of Louisburg (Louisiana in Detamara's infamy) had their "Citywide" Garage Sales today. I roused Detamara up early and we were off to the tiny hamlet of maybe 20+ homes and a car dealership about 20 miles from home. For the past two years I have launched my garage sale season the last weekend in March. Sometimes in snow, rain, and this year a sunny 23 with a stiff wind that chilled us through.

But the trip was worth it. My find of the day.... This Wooden 26 Count Pottery Barn Block Set. Guess what I had paid... no cheating by blowing up the picture. A amazing 75 cents.

I picked up a stack of button up shirts in size 3T to 5 for Nathan's little paddles (Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Nautica etc. ) for a $1 each and two pairs of designer dress cords to match the 2 designer sweaters. I found a couple of Melissa and Doug sets, Tanagrams and lacing cards for a couple of dollars each.

My second favorite find was a Stainless Steel Stockpot with Glass Lid, they were asking $10, with a little haggling got it for $6 and I now have enough pots when I make freezer meals. Detamara couldn't resist the Cuisinart Egg Cooker in its original package.

Detamara (a city kid) was laughing when we were walking up to one garage being followed by a couple of geese and a pair of farm ducks, as an Amish buggy was pulling in. Just a day in the life of a doctors family in farm country.

What is Becca Up To? Fighting

Repurpose: Clips from Children's Hangers















Using Children's pants hangers, make the best clips. I started using them a year ago, and I use them almost everyday for many purposes.















Use your kitchen shears and cut it at the beginning of the clip on each side.
















Two clips for FREE. I use these on open packages of chips, bulk size frozen foods, stacks of papers that are too big for standard paper clips and even keeping phone cords together while
traveling. They even work as clothespins hanging out clothing. They are locked in place and on windy days they do not pull loose.















The advantage of these over store bought clips, they don't have handles and are much stronger and compact besides they are FREE.

Hint: At our favorite children's department store ask if they have any of these hangers. They often do not reuse them and will be more than happy to give them away!

My Freebies for the Day--Turning Shopping into an Art and Saving Money







My Freebies for the Day






Savings: $160.73
Paid: $2.99 + Tax

I rode with Doc to round in our neighboring town and he dropped me off at Walgreens. I began with using Flex money to pick up two transactions of 5 Dayquil each which netted me 2--$10.00RR after spending $14.95 after coupons each. I rolled from there, doing three more transactions with a smiling assistant manager!

My plan needed to be modified because of finding more deals and coupons. Picking up 3 cheese, 3 meat and 2 Oreos (for Doc and Dee) to get the Kraft Reward. Scoring 4 boxes of Post Fruity Pebbles for free and was shocked when I got another $3.00 RR. But I still did alright. Only paying for fillers and my Diet Pepsi as I was done before he got back from visiting patients. Adding in 2 DozenEggs, 4 Glade Sense and Sprays, 4 cans of Mushrooms, 2 Colgate Total, 2 Gillete Body Wash, 2 Gillette Deodorants, and Gerber Baby Food Peaches for baking Gluten-free Peach Yogurt Muffins this afternoon. Total $1.06 and $1.93 at Walgreens.

We then headed over Walmart and picked up $1.00 Glade Candes and Plug-ins using coupons and our FREE Oreo Cakesters, Herbal Essense Shampoo and Free $.25 packages of 3 stretchable gloves to use up my overage and I price matched Walgreens to get lactose free Breyers Ice Cream and 6 Oscar Mayer Deli Chicken. We also used the $1.39 Franks Red Hot Sauce coupons and got 3 larger bottles for $.44 each. I splurged and treated myself to some fresh fruit for breakfast because of saving so much elsewhere!

Stopping by Piggly Wiggly I picked up cheese to add as fillers to get the before coupon total over $25.00 and scored 6 boxes of Honey Nut Chex and a Gallon of Milk.

I had been staying home for the past two months, living out of our pantry. For me turning saving is an art...a challenge... and just to see how far I can stretch out a dollar. Besides with only two kids home I am now bored! I would have never believed that living in rural America I can get this much for FREE.

Happy saving.

Meet Detamara's Rescued Dog Holly






Detamara and Holly








Two summers ago, we acquired a new member of the family. We were helping a friend move and the house that they rented came with an abandoned Yellow Lab/Golden Retreiver named Holly. Her owners had abandoned the house 7 years earlier and left the dog on her own dropping off food into her garage home once a week. My friends family had taken care of her for a year. They were moving and on Saturday we frantically tried to find an open shelter and to no avail. With my friends 5 adopted children, Detamara and Becca (a dog lover) Doc knew that we had no choice but pick her up put her in the truck with him and moved her along with the furniture. By this time, my girls were worried terribly about the lethargic dog and we realized we just "adopted again!"

She arrived in Lancaster with her 90+ woodticks and after a bath, tick removal we were off to the vet and $300+ later. The dog had severe Lymes disease, a raging kidney and bladder infection that had been ongoing. With Holly being an older dog we did not know whether she was going to survive, but Detamara took on the challenge of nursing the neglected dog. We had new carpet and a leaking dog with damaged bladder control. She cried being in the laundry room and Detamara told me that "Just because someone is old, we don't give up on them, we buy diapers". "Besides you had to buy pull ups when you adopted me".

Detamara and Holly (now coined Diaper Dog by Howard the Orkin Man) are the best of friends. Bonded by their neglectful histories, where ever Detamara goes Holly is only a few steps behind. Holly is now about 10+ years old, her white face shows her age. But for the remainder of Holly's life she is spoiled. No longer neglected, she is happy to wear her Diapers and no longer wants for attention or a warm place to sleep and has plenty of food. Estrogen pills from the vet is helping keeping leaking to a minimum and we can now get by on a package a week!

Detamara has helped Holly heal and Holly has helped Detamara. A girl and her big old dog.

We have built quite a collection of books, games and products at this point. I have begun building Kasja and Mahala and now little Paddles Tag Jr and Tag book collections. He got a TAG reader for Christmas thanks to the Target and TAG mfg. coupon double up before he is even born. I found two books each on a clearance rack at Walmart for $1.00 after coupons.

Target--Spud Bunny Mr. Potato Head $3.99 after coupon










$3.99 after coupon








In the Target Easter Section I spied a Mr. Potato Head Spud Bunny for $5.99. Use the $2.00 coupon from Hasbro and Coupons.com last month and get it for $3.99 for an Easter Basket frugal stuffer.

Another Target Easter Toys Deal:

The Easter Section has Easter Little Ponies for $5.99 and combined with the Buy One Get One Free Coupon from Coupons.com from last month will score TWO for the Price of One.

Walmart--Children's Clearance Healthtex Sets $2.00 and Juniors Miley Cyrus line $1.00







$2.00 on clearance at our Walmart






I stopped by Walmart last night to return a Redbox rental and cruised the children's clothing racks. Walmart here is usually late in the clearance season and I will be watching as I can find incredible deals for play clothes.

Last night I found Infant and Toddler Girls Healthtex corduroy pants, two piece jumpers, tops, skirt with leggings all for $2.00 a piece. The rack was full of three different jumper sets, 4 different red and white tops, three corduroy pants and a two piece-skirt/legging set.

Also of Note: Disney Infant and Toddler Blanket Sleepers were $3.00.
Princess Tiana, Disney Princesses, Tinkerbell, Minnie Mouse, Toy Story and Cars were the ones I got to choose from.

In the Juniors Section--Our Walmart had all the Miley Cyrus Winter Clothing Line $1.00.
I bought Becca and Detamara each three different knit short sleeve t-shirts.

**Walmart is hard to predict on clearance as many stores have different markdowns and schedules. But this is what I found in Wisconsin at our local store as a trend.

Piggly Wiggly--Double Coupons and 6 FREE General Mills Cereal








Piggly Wiggly in our area is doubling coupons from March 3-23! I am so excited. They will double up to 5 coupons up to a $1.00 with a $25.00 purchase.

Strategies:
  • Split your order into $25.00 increments to be able to double more coupons.
  • Hand the coupons you want doubled to the cashier first, then the rest of the coupons.
  • Maximize savings by matching on sale items with coupons and then figure which items will have the greatest savings. The top five or ten if order is split will be the doubled coupons.
