$5 Rebate for Toy story 3 or Beauty and the Beast with purchase of Campbellls condenced soup

I don't know about you, but this movie purchase is on our Christmas list. Now there is a way to save 5 dollars back on the purchase. Currently there is a $5 Toy Story 3 + (3) Campbell's Condensed Soups rebate available. This rebate was good on Beauty and the Beast as well, so if you used it then, unfortunately you won't be able to submit it again. But, it is nice to get some money back on a purchase you were already planning to make.

Good Weekend and now looking forward to another week

     Last Friday Alan and I spoke on a panel about adoption. It was great and everyone asked great questions then to our surprise they gave us a 50 dollar master card for being on the panel. So we decided to use it for a fun weekend.
     On Saturday we met some friends at a pumpkin patch and the kids had a blast exploring the activities, eating lunch and picking pumpkins. Although Silas was enthralled about finding a lady bug and carried it out of the field instead a pumpkin. Later that evening we went to the schools red ribbon carnival where the kids played games, won prizes and got their faces painted. I even got to go to the book fair to pick up some Christmas presents for the kids.
     On Sunday we cleaned the house and I changed out the kids clothes for the season. We then headed over to the Night of the Living Zoo with some cousins. The place was packed, and we felt like cattle walking through the zoo to get candy. However, the kids loved seeing all the other costumes and said they had fun. So I although mom and dad weren't too impressed, I'd consider it a success because the kids had fun.
      Now I have some time to check out the ads and deals that I need to take advantage of this week. So far one I think I need to look into is on Hershey's Kisses at TARGET. They will be great as back up candy on Halloween or to put in the center of peanut butter cookies for the holidays.
Target: Pumpkin Spice Kisses (10 oz.), $2.49
**Select others also on sale
$1/2 Select Hershey’s Kisses, exp. 11-28-10 (SS 09/26/10)
$1/1 Hershey’s Kisses Target printable

More Coupon shopping today!

I will post more about my shopping specifics later but for now here is some pictures and a general run down of my savings. At Leekers I purchased 83 dollars worth of groceries for $41.50. So I saved more than I spent!

Leekers

Then I went over to Dillons where I'm most familiar with the layout of the store to do the bulk of my shopping. At Dillons I paid about 90 dollars for my groceries and according to the receipt I saved 58 dollars. So it was a good day with an approximate savings of 120 dollars in total!

Dillons

Shopping with coupons

     So the last month or so I've been really working at using coupons and finding great deals. So how about I start documenting my trips to the store here? Why not, huh? I'm still learning how to stretch my dollar so if anyone has more suggestions I will give it a try. Thanks!
     I usually do one big day of grocery and pantry shopping every 3 to 4 weeks and I take smaller trips for perishables every week. I also check out ads and coupons weekly, and pick up any great bargains. This week is my big trip week so I will be going to Target, Leekers and Dillons. My trip to Target today included a lot of stuff that we needed. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash and dental floss picks for the kids, Halloween treats, kleenex, Aleve, Mucinex, Overnight pull-ups, baby wipes, Degree, Chex Mix, and Juice. I spent a total of $66.70 and saved $19.53. So without coupons this trip would have cost me $86.23

Garden

I had a garage sale this weekend to clear out some of the things that I don't want to pack and I've also been canning the end of season vegetables from our garden. I made freezer slaw and piccalilli, it will be nice having food from our garden all winter. We also dehydrated and froze some apples from the apple tree in our yard. It's hard to believe that we won't have our apple tree or garden next year to get produce from.

So I've been thinking

This past week or two have been very hectic, yet I've been highly productive. Has anyone else ever found that they seem to thrive the most when they have a lot of things to juggle? That is how I am.

In the past two weeks I've made over 108 bierocks, canned some fruits and vegetables, participated in a meal swap, made meals for several friends in need, made snacks for two preschool classes, attend a birthday party, went on a short trip with my husband, saved money by organizing coupons, volunteered at a local school, had a garage sale and started my Christmas shopping and crafting. I feel so wonderful about this list of finished tasks and I also know that it wouldn't be possible without the help and support of my husband, kids, mother and friends. Thank you!!!!!!

So at the meal swap us ladies had some discussions about religion, children and politics. One women mentioned that she felt that the public schools have no purpose, other than to waste tax payer money. My knee jerk reaction was to disagree with her. However, I've thought about it a lot. What is the mission of public schools? Are they succeeding at this mission?

I don't have an answer, it is just something I'm pondering.
