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

Stretch your buck

I figured I would start little ways to stretch your money.

Here is the first one.

You ever buy those foam soaps for the kids (or yourself)? Those things are awesome, cause lets face it-kids are not the best at working up a good lather. And if you are lazy (like me) these foam soaps are just made for you. But they go say freaking fast. Why? Cause they are 2/3 water! We pay the same price for water. Us lazy people pay so much for convenience. Am I saying its not worth it? Heck no, I love my foaming soaps. But here is the trick to stretch your buck. Buy regular soap (with a coupon of course!) and then use it in your favorite foaming bottle. Fill the foaming soap bottle 1/3 of the way with soap and 2/3 with water. Viola, you have foaming soap...for 1/3 of the price!
