Review: Bounce Dryer Bar
If your house is anything like our house, laundry is a never-ending task! I don’t normally get excited about anything laundry related, but I have to tell you honestly, I am pretty darn excited about the new Bounce Dryer Bar. I got a coupon from Vocalpoint for the Bounce Dryer Bar and since we were out of dryer sheets, I thought I’d give it a try….and to my surprise, I love it!

Mega Swagbucks Day
Every Friday is Mega Swagbucks Day! That means you can earn Swagbucks in larger denominations (10,20, 50, 100). They guarantee over 10K Swagbucks will be awarded in Mega Bills! Make sure to head on over and do a few searches. Remember 45 Swagbucks will get you a $5 Amazon gift card. You can easily earn 1 or 2 Amazon gift cards a month with just a few searches a day!
OLD NAVY: $3 Adult Basic Tees (Saturday 8/22 only)
Last week, I popped into Old Navy after teaching Zumba and was thrilled because they had their Women’s Ribbed Tanks for only $2. I was excited to see that they will be having another One Day Wonder item on Saturday, 8/22. You can purchase up to 5 Adult Basic Tees for only $3 each and up to 5 pairs of kids socks for $1 each (there is no limit on toddler socks). Go early as these items tend to sell out quickly!
If you are in the market for tee shirts and won’t be able to make it to Old Navy on Saturday, don’t be too sad! Old Navy has some of their Women’s Perfect Fit tees on sale for 2/$10 online. If you shop through Ebates, you can get 8% cash back or if you’d prefer, you can shop Old Navy online through Mr. Rebates or Cashbaq for 3% cash back. Just remember, if you’re shopping online, make sure you’re getting money back!

Three Cheers for Target!
I love Target! If there was a Target closer to my house, I’d probably go there daily! Since it’s 25 minutes away, I only make it there every other week or so! I visited Target today to pick up a few things and I learned something new. You can print coupons at Target…in the store…at the kiosk. I knew that you could stack a Target coupon and a manufacturers coupon, but I didn’t know you could print the Target coupons while you’re at the store. The Trainer I talked to at Target said “Why waste your paper and ink? You can use ours!” That’s the kinds of stuff I want to hear! Here is my favorite Target deal this week…there are other great deals out there, but we really like Pop Tarts!
Pop Tarts ($1.92 for 8 count)
Combine $.75/1 Target coupon and $1.00/2 manufacturer coupon from the 8/2 Kelloggs insert
Each box is only $.67 after coupons!
To make this deal even sweeter (and if your Target allows more than one Target coupon in a transaction), you can use this rebate form here to turn this into a money maker! You would need to purchase 10 of these items in one transaction. Here is one way to use this rebate form.
Purchase 10 boxes of Pop Tarts at $1.92 each ($19.20)
*Use 5 $1/2 manufacturers coupons from 8/2 Kelloggs insert (These coupons can be purchased online if you don’t have 5 of them.) (-$5.00)
*Use $.75/1 Target coupons (-7.50)
Total Spent $6.70 Get back $10 rebate by mail! This is a great money maker!!!

Menu Plan Monday – Back To School Week

I can’t believe it’s already time for the kids to head back to school. Since it’s always an adjustment to get back into the swing of things and since I’m starting back to work this week, I’m going to keep this week’s menu simple.
Monday – Macaroni and Cheese and Hot Dogs
Tuesday- Daddy/Daughter and Mommy/Daughter Date night. We’ll each take one of the girls to dinner. The girls love these nights.
Wednesday- Tacos
Thursday- Italian Chicken, Brown Rice, and Salad
Friday- Spaghetti, Salad, and Homemade Bread
Saturday – Eggs and Pancakes (Breakfast for Dinner)
Sunday- Leftovers
For more menu plan ideas, check out Menu Plan Monday over at orgjunkie.com.

Change is coming…
When the summer began, I anticipated long restful days at our cottage in New Hampshire. I envisioned myself catching up on books I’ve longed to read, blogging (alot), and exercising consistently. My summer turned out quite differently. The long restful days were replaced by lots of work around the cottage. I refinished countless pieces of furniture, painted walls and windows, and had my sister help me put the look together. I’ll dedicate a post to the cottage transformation on another day. Throughout the summer, I continually thought about my blog and where I want it to go. I know that I have become quite passionate about saving money and blessing my family, but I’m also learning that life is about so much more. I’d like a website that is dedicated to help people save not only money, but also time, their health, and their sanity! Stay tuned! The new site is hopefully coming soon!

Save The Date: Thursday, September 10th at 6:30 pm
I’m excited to let you all know that I will be doing a class on saving money at Eckhart Public Library on Thursday, September 10th at 6:30 pm. This is a great opportunity to learn some simple ways to save money on groceries, travel, and everyday purchases. I’ll be posting more about this as it gets closer!
I’m so thankful for our library. Not only do they have a wide selection of wonderful books, audio books, and movies, but they also offer great programs for the community! Also, if you have teenagers, make sure to check out The Third Place: A Teen Library! If you haven’t been there, you need to go!
