Cooking with Kraft

Gotta love this site if you shop at Publix. They have some AWESOME coupons. I got an email from them today and if I shared a .75 coupon with at least 2 friends, they would send me a BOGO coupon for any Oscar Mayer deli creation. Done and Done!

Make sure you sign up with them!

Also don't forget to print out 2 of the $1 off Publix water coupon when you buy one Oscar Mayer deli creation.

I totally did an awesome deal!

Well, not technically. My husband did the trip for me. But thanks to WhoSaidNothingInLifeisFree??? I was able to do the covergirl deal at Winn Dixie. Poor hubby had to go pick out makeup for me. Not as bad as feminine products, so the man got off easy. Anyway, I told him to make sure he got stuff that was over 8 bucks each, since I had 4 BOGO coupons and covergirl was BOGO at Winn Dixie. So that means FREE makeup. And the cherry on top of that sweet delicious deal? Oh, they also give you a $10 catalina if you spent over $30 on the product. Seriously. So he found the lightest makeup he could (I am the palest person in Florida. I go to the beach and people think I am from Minnesota or something.) and checked out. Then I asked him to do another transaction. Which he totally fought me on. But did like I asked, like a good hubby should. We did the Winn Dixie breakfast deal, in which you buy 3 boxes of cereal and get coffee, bacon, gallon of milk, and donuts for FREE. I gave him coupons for the cereal and he used the $10 catalina to pay for the rest. That total came out to 68 CENTS. Total we paid was a little over $3-just for tax!!!! THREE DOLLARS??? Pure awesomeness. 8 covergirl foundations, milk, 3 big boxes of Cherrios, donuts, bacon, and coffee for three whole dollars. I pay more than that usually for just a gallon of milk.
Want to know the best part??? You are probably thinking, it can't get any better than that. Oh, it can. My husband was FINALLY impressed. He couldn't stop talking about it. Usually I get a good job, pat on the back, a "good job" hug. But he didn't understand my THRILL of saving so much money....until today. He just kept saying "I can't believe how much money you saved". And seriously, those were the last words he said as he fell asleep. I had a huge grin on my face.

Pop Tartilicious

I got 10 boxes of Pop Tarts at Publix during their BOGO sale and used $1/2 blinkie (thank goodness I picked them up 2 weeks ago) to pay only .74 per box. So that is like $7.40 total AND I can enter those codes (10 different boxes) and get 2 free movie tickets worth $12 each. Hello gorgeous. My kids and I totally don't eat pop tarts, but hey it was worth it! My husband only likes the blueberry kind. 9 other boxes are for the daycare kids. I can not beat that!

Marry me Opinion Outpost

This survey site is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!
I joined on 4/11 and took my first survey on 4/17 and so far I have earned almost $15! They actually have fun surveys too. I cashed out my first check for $7 on 5/5 and I was just able to cash out again TODAY for $7.50. That is my kind of survey site. Totally bummed that I didn't join before when they did Amazon gift cards. I am really hoping to have an Amazon Christmas (or as much as one as I can get). I'll have an Amaaaaaaaaaaaaaazon Christmas (please sing this to the tune of Blue Christmas but without my off pitch voice).
If you want to join (and you should!), just click here.

Today was a good day

According to the Ice Cube video it didn't end well. But I can't help but sing/rap (ok..my rap is beyond ridiculous) his classic song. Today was a good day. Oooooo Oh.
I won $5 amazon e-gift card from commenting on a post (see previous post)
I took a survey from Lightspeed and was able to cash out for a $5 Amazon e-gift card
I also took a survey from OpinionOutpost and made $2. It seriously took me 12 minutes to do that.
I am able to do these during my lunch breaks. Can't beat that!

Oh and my sister brought me Boston Market. I got a free lunch today! Like I said-good day!

made my day

Well, besides only getting 3 hours of sleep and hearing a child scream his head off cause I had to go to the bathroom-my day was made by reading my email. What could do that? By winning money! Wahooo! Thank you CouponingtoDisney! She has this awesome thing going where you comment on any post she makes that day and she will pick a random comment to win a $5 Amazon e-gift card. And....I WON!!!


It really is the little things with me.

P.S. How do kids know the second your butt hits the toilet?

No sleep till Brooklyn

Well I finally fell asleep after 3:30 am last night and got woken up by my lovely children at 6:45. Nothing like a 3 hour sleep to get you through the day. I just don't know how to shut my brain off. Can someone please invent an on/off button for me? Thanks.
Thankfully my hubby got me a 7-11 ice coffee. Did you know that you can stretch your buck at 7-11 with their delicious addictive ice coffees. Seriously they are so good. I am a HUGE starbucks fan and I will pick the 7-11 ice coffee over a starbucks ice coffee. They are THAT good. Anyway, if you save your cup you can get your next ice coffee for .99! Plus what I do instead of getting a large, I get a small and put no ice in it. Then I will put my own ice in it at home. Lasts so much longer that way. And I feel savvy. Look at me stretching my buck
