Sweet Baby Girl and a Winning

Eden is two months old now. She started smiling a week or so ago and she has attempted a little laugh. It's so fun to watch her become a little person.

My sister called to inform me the other day that I had actually won a Softlips chapstick give-away on one of the blogs I follow. I was only expecting one package, so I was really excited to find ALL of the flavors when it arrived in my mailbox! It was the only drawing I entered so I am pretty hopeful for some future wins:)

Alice

So through one of the blogs I use to tell me about all of the great deals out there I found ALICE. It's a website where you can buy your everyday essentials and they put coupons in there automatically for you. For most things the prices were pretty comparible to Wal-Mart and if you don't live right by a Wal-Mart and have to shop at a local grocery store or drug store they are for sure better priced. Plus it is free shipping! I just got my first order today. It was a small order because I wanted to test the service out before I did a big purchase through them. However, I was happy with the results.

2 bags of Luvs diapers= $5.78 each

8 boxes of Kotex pantiliners= $.41 each

My New Hobby

My husband thought I was becoming an old crazy coupon lady when I started cutting coupons and playing the Register Rewards game at Walgreens and BUYING coupons off of Ebay. When I showed him the reciepts he didn't think I was so crazy anymore. You decide. This purchase is the one I am so far the most proud of. I got 30 bottles of Herbal Essence shampoos, conditioners, hairsprays, and gels at Rite Aid. Normally I pay $3.00 a bottle for these at Walmart. So I normally would have paid $90.00 for all 30 bottles. They were on sale for $2.50 a piece and then when you factor in all my coupons--- Guess how much I paid. Just guess. Bet you can't guess.

30 bottles of Herbal Essence= FREE!!

Plus THEY paid ME $5 to take it all.
