Join a Co-op!

I recently had the opportunity to join a Produce Co-op. I thought it might be a way for us to have a variety of fresh fruits and veggies in our diet but not with the cost of buying it at the local store. And boy is it a good deal! I have been spending a good $30-$40 every 2 weeks JUST on fresh fruits and veggies and it's the same ol' same ol' thing. But with joining this co-op I am able to get MORE than I would normally buy for ALOT less! And I get the surprise of different items each week. I can't believe I haven't found something before this to get involved in!




This first time around my sisnlaw, momnlaw, and I all just split 2 shares as we where not sure how much fruit and veggies it would turn out to be. As it turns out we decided after goign thru what we got, we will all be getting our own fruit and veggie share separate. For the cost it is WELL worth the amount and variety that we get. I'm happy! Can't wait till 2 weeks from now when I get my full share along with the fruit share for more fruit! Looked good! Will have to live on what we got this week. :-)

Have you looked to see if you have any local co-op's around you? If not maybe start one! I have heard of organic, meat, milk, produce, and even whole gain type co-op's before! Try it out and you just might find that you save while your at it! Share

My .52 cent shoes

The other day in the mail I received a $10 off ANY purchase at DSW shoe store. Well I first I thought it was my reward for having a member card there but I haven't bought much in the last oh 6 months there lol so I realized it wasn't that. It said it was a "thanks for bring a member" $10.00 off thing! I'll take that any day!

So yesterday I went in hoping to spend under $10 on a pair of winter closed toe flat shoes. And I came across theses cuties!

They were marked down from the original $50.00 to $34.94.

When I picked them up off the clearance rack I thought they were marked down 50% from $34.94 so I though yah I can do $7.47 (after the $10 off).

When she rung me up I wasn't paying attention just handed her my $10 off and she says ok your total is $0.52 cents! WHAT! :-D They were marked down 70% off instead of the 50% so after my $10 off it made them a WOPPIN $0.52!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats 99% off!!!!! Can't beat that eh!

I love my $0.52 shoes!

Yard sales...

This morning I woke up and got ready and out of the house as FAST as I could because there was a neighborhood wide yard sale in the park! Got out of the house a bit before nine and found parking. Wow was it packed full of people....

But didn't find a THING to buy! Everyone had piles and piles of junk!!! Sometimes you come across those sales that are nothing but trash but I figured with a huge park wide sale you would find a few goodies! But NONE! I walked and walked and walked and didn't find a single thing that was worth anything!!! Sigh.... so I guess I was frugal in not buying a thing at all at the yard sale this morning... :-)

I am gonna take a sat that I don't have anything planned for sometime in the next month and scope out some good estate sales and yard sales on the north side and hit them... Because I have a few things that I am looking for that I think I could find if I went to the north side. :-)

Anyhooo, off to clean my house and get ready for a BBQ we are going to with all our family. And then ALL FOUR OF MY SISTERS will be staying at my house for a big ol' slumber party!!!!!!! It's been a LONG time since we have all been together!!!!!! I'm super excited!!! Can you tell??? Share

Whew~

This morning I was up at the crack of dawn! :-D Why.... because we had seen in the newspaper this Sunday that the first 50 people to be in line at Office Max got a Coupon book for $50.00 off ANY ink purchase each month for the next 6 months! That's $300.00 in savings! HOW AWESOME!

So this morning we headed out (hubby and I) at 6:30 and we got to the Office max around 7 and waited in line for 1 hour! We ended up being #35 and #36 or so.. (can't remember exactly!) and Rach ended up making it JUST in time to be #48!! (or was it #47! lol) Just barely made it!

But we all got our Savings book and I bought my August Ink and paid a total of $1.05 for 2 color inks and 1 black ink for our printer! How AWESOME! Was well worth the wait and line to get $600 (hubs and I both) worth of ink coupons! :-D

I am VERY tired as I didn't sleep much last night lol... kept thinking I was gonna not wake up in time to leave... and just to excited haha.... silly me!


My house is its usual Monday morning mess. But once I get a short nap I am off to scrub toilets, make my kitchen sparkling new, fold a mountain of laundry, vacuum up ants again..... (rain brings them in.. sigh), and clean clean clean!

And I bought curtain material the other day for $3.00 at Hancock fabrics for our main bathroom (mega on sale! Yah!) So I am going to hopefully finish all my cleaning and make the curtain today to!

So much to do! Share
