Happy Earth Day! I feel like it’s New Years all over again, as I’m finding myself making all sort of resolutions for Earth Day: Get our new bike trailer set up so I can take Ellie further without driving. We used our REI 20% coupon and dividends to pick one up. Our town is set [...]

Loving Harris Teeter’s Super Doubling and Ellie FINALLY likes shopping
My first experience with SUPER double couponing at Harris Teeter. If you didn’t know, Harris Teeter is super doubling until Tuesday (where they double coupons with face values of up to $1.98 instead of just $0.99.) Got Johnsonville chicken sausages, too, but forgot them in the freezer for this pic. Saved $98 just with coupons. [...]

Greedy for Savings and Lessons Learned
I can see where couponing can become addicting. Lucky for my husband, we don’t have a place to hoard provisions (but, not so lucky if the zombie apocalypse starts any time soon). Ahh! I spent a couple hours this weekend… 1) Checking out the grocery circular. 2) Adding the items we need to my shopping [...]

Clothes and Shoes and Toys, oh my!
As you know, I love a good deal and going green. So, buying things used allows me to be do both! There are TWO local children’s consignment expos this weekend. Wee-cycle Mart TotSwap I planned on hitting up both today, but did so well at the first one that I decided to head on home [...]

Beware car seats with high weight limits…
When Rob and I did our initial shopping for a car seat we thought we were SO SMART to opt for a car seat rated to 35 pounds. We got the Graco SnugRide 35. “Yes, it’s heavier, but she will be able to use this seat for years!” Based on her weight projection, it was [...]

Couponing Virgin
I’ve used the occasional coupon over the years, but never took it too seriously. But, that’s all going to change! My friend Rebecca is a veteran coupon diva, so I asked if she could show me the ropes. But, I want to start off small. I do NOT plan on shopping all around. Getting a [...]

Yard Sale Jackpot!
Looks like we didn’t win the Mega Millions jackpot, after all. But, weekends in Spring can be a great time to find some steals at yard sales in your area! Think of all those people in the midst of cleaning out… I almost drove past this yard sale, but something caught the corner of my [...]

Consignment Bonanza
Gotta love a children’s consignment shop… but a consignment EXPO is even better. Maryland has at least two that I’ve heard of (Wee-cycle Mart and TotSwap) and I hit up one yesterday with my mom. Back in the fall, I got so many good deals for the little one, but after lots of growth spurts [...]
