My smiley and chunky baby!!

I LOVE MY GIRLS!!! Emma is 2 months old in these pictures!

I love Rite Aid!

Who would ever think that is possible?!? Well, it is definitely my favorite store. The last picture is one that I did today and the sale is still running!

Total $33.06
Coupons $11
Used $22 ups
Paid $.06
And got more ups back, I just don't remember how many, because I already used them...
Total 29.63
Coupons 13.39
Paid 16.24
Used $12 in ups
So I really only paid 4.24
Plus I remember I got a lot of ups but don't remember the total, because this was a while ago and I don't have them anymore. (I used them)

Each of these products were on sale 2/$8. I bought 8 products to bring the total to $32, then I used a $5 off $25 coupon, along with $14 dollars worth of other coupons, and paid $13.00. Got a $2 single check rebate, and I don't remember if I got any ups rewards. I paid using ups rewards from previous purchases, so I didn't actually pay anything.

Ok so this one I did today! So anyone looking at this can do it! Go here for all the matchups and coupons.

2 Gain Dishwashing soap $0.88 ea ($1.76)
2 Playtex tampons 18 ct $4.00 ea ($8.00)
1 Blistex Lip Ointment $1.49
2 Antios Immune Shots 2ct $2.99 ea ($5.98)
1 Lysol Wipes 28 ct $3.49
1 Lysol Bowl Cleaner $3.49 (BOGO=free)
2 Purex 3in1 $8.99 ea (BOGO=1free)
My total before coupons =$29.73
Used $19.00 in coupons =$10.73

Paid $10.73
Got $5 in ups rewards
Will recieve $7.47 in single check rebates!
So including the scr and ups it was a $1.74 money maker!!

*Single check rebates is an online Rite Aid deal where you get mailed a check at the end of the month when you purchase certain products.

Spectacular Savings and A Thrifty Mom are my helpers!

Greener on the other side???

When I was younger, I had a friend who had braces and I was so jealous! I wanted braces so bad, and would pretend that I had them....My guess is Elivia is doing the same thing now.
Elivia to Mom "I'm not doing anything! I'm sweet and innocent!"


Next thing I know, she's got Emma's binky in her mouth! In fact, anytime I leave it laying around, I find Elivia walking around the house with it in her mouth and she is always so proud of herself! Silly girl! Next thing I'll know, she will be in Emma's bouncer!

Oh wait, she already has been!! She loves getting in this bouncer! This time she pulled Emma's blanket up on her too! Silly girl!!

Kiddo's!

So this morning as I am trying to do this blog, Elivia is really trying to get Emma to play with her. Not sure what Emma thinks about it though...



She got a little carried away but was a good sister and took them off of Emma's face.

The many faces of Elivia! Oh bother!

These pictures were taking this last Sunday. Emma is 7 weeks old! Grandma Peggy fixed these dresses so that they are longer. Elivia's was too short.

Emma's not too sure about getting a hug from Elivia!

Daddy and his girls! (Elivia was cooperating very well as you can see) :)
Sisters!
Ok, so really, these are the many faces of Elivia! Happy and cute....
Little stinker....


And just plain snotty!!! LOL This one really gets me! LOL Or maybe she's being protective and saying "Get away from my sister!" lol

Being cute again!



Kisses!
These pictures were taken last week sometime... This one Elivia was waving Emma's arm and saying "hi!"



I just love this picture of Emma! She is just so cute!! And slowly but surely, getting rolls all over her little body!

Goofy sister!

I love my family!!

More couponing.....

Ok, so this first one was at Rite Aid again. Rite Aid is quickly becoming my favorite store! Who would have thought Rite Aid could be anyone's favorite store?!?
Anyways, I paid $0.77 cents for this stuff. Before sale price and coupons would have cost $12.56. After sale price but before coupons would have been $4.77, then take 3 coupons off (total of $2) and then I used a $2 ups reward from a previous purchase and I only paid $0.77. I was pretty happy about that!


This was my first attempt at couponing at Target and I was pretty happy about this one too! So before sale price and coupons this all would have cost me $12.94. I got it all for $0.96!!! There wasn't a sale on any of this. I happened to have a free coupon ($5.99 worth) for the John Freida conditioner which made it free. I then had 3 coupons ($4 worth) for the glade products which made them free and the 2 coupons for the Pampers Kandoo wipes which made them $0.65 ea.

Happy couponing!! I follow spectacularsavings.net and athriftymom.com!!

Couponing.....

So I have recently got into couponing.....in fact last week I was dreaming about coupons....yes, a little ridiculous, but this post might help you understand why all of a sudden it has become my hobby!


Ok, so those of you who know how expensive Huggies diapers are, you will be very happy to know that I got all of this for $13.68. Before coupons and ups rewards (At rite aid, if you buy certain things you get "ups rewards" which is money to use on your next purchase!) So anyways, before ups and coupons and sale prices this would have cost me$48.34. This would have cost me $33.94 with the sale prices So I saved $20-34 dollars depending on how you look at it. PLUS I got $18 in ups rewards to use on my next purchase!!!


Ok so this one's before sale prices and such would have been....$37.42. With the sale price would have been $25.89. I paid $6.89 without using any ups from previous purchases. PLUS I got $8 in ups to use towards my next purchase!!
Ok, so I had to post this picture 3 times and you will notice 3 different faces on my "sweet" Elivia!


This one was really fun to bring home!
Ok so before sale prices this would have been $94.72. With sale price $74.68......drum roll please!! I got all of this for $22.68! I did use $26 ups. PLUS I received $26.50 in ups to use towards my next purchase.


Ok really??? How exciting is that! Rite Aid is quickly becoming my favorite store!

Also I had another purchase that I didn't get a picture of. It was at Albertsons. I got:
4 boxes of capri suns
8 packs of oscar meyer hot dogs
5 packages of Kraft shredded cheese
12 containers of cool whip
I think I'm forgetting something...
anyways, all of this for $8 something!!
Wahoo! Now can all of you understand why I have been dreaming couponing!! LOL

Playing catch up!

This is Elivia's new favorite spot. I have a hard time keeping her out of it. I don't like her playing under there because of the cords but she insists and it's a constant struggle. In this picture, I was in the kitchen and happened to look over and found her under there with her dolly, and sucking on her doll's binky! She is so silly! She never liked binkies to which I am grateful for now not having to break her of the habit but she just loves to play with binkies now because of Emma!



My little ham!

Aunt Lindsey and Emma!

Helping Daddy vacuum. She is such a good helper!


Ok, so we don't watch much tv but the other day we put on a movie. It had just started and we hadn't settled down on the couch yet, and this is how we found her. Too cute!

At the Dr's office. She was a proud big sister and showed Emma off to everyone!

Sisters!

Last week I came around the corner to see what Elivia was up to and found her baby doll tucked in next to Emma. Of course the blanket was up over Emma's head so I had to pull it down. Elivia was so proud of herself!




Being goofy!

Notice in the pictures before Emma was peacefully sucking on her binky and minding her own business. The next second it's taken from her. This is Elivia's game she plays. Elivia like to take it out, put it back in, take it out etc....poor Emma!


Yes, Elivia is trying to put the binky in her doll's mouth!

Now trying to put it back in Emma's mouth!

She went in for a kiss!

This is one proud sister. Anytime we go somewhere, and someone talks to Elivia, she instantly points at Emma and "tells" them about her. She isn't talking much but she sure babbles on about her. It's so cute!
