Flowers, swings, birthdays

Can You believe I grew this baby from a seed!?!
It is so huge. Matt pulled the 2x4 out of the basement to help give it support as it was almost touching the ground with how big it is. 

 
In the meantime, Peyton has started pulling herself up on things. So cute and hilarious. She kind of gets stuck in the

Super Saving

My sister in law informed me I should blog more about my savings.
Its funny, because its addicting when you find a good deal. Its literally so thrilling. I am so ridiculous I know. But when your bill is at 40 some dollars and you're waiting with eager anticipation to see if it ends up at the proper amount, it just is so satisfying :)

I always struggled to figure out the proper couponing strategies and on top of that different stores have different coupon policies. For example, some stores will give you money back if the value of your coupons exceeds your amount due, others will not. There are so many little quirks. And I am still trying to figure things out. But I do have my go to stores, CVS, and Dominicks, mainly. This week however is an awesome Jewel saving week!!!

Here is my Jewel trip this afternoon. It was soooooooooo amazing :)
This week at jewel you get $5 off for each 3 select P & G products you purchase...so I purchased
3 Mr. Clean All purpose cleaner Sprays
3 Mr. Clean  All purpose cleaner bottles
6 boxes of puffs
3 Dawn liquid soap
3 Febreze spray 

So If you do the math quick thats 6 different sets of 3 so multiply by 5 thats an automatic $30 off :) 
I also had a couple coupons including buy 2 get 1 free and b1g1 free 
This bill total was $8.00 and some change :)


After Jewel I swung by Dominicks to stock up on some cereal. The hubs loves cinnamon toast crunch and little sassy doesn't mind it too much either. :)
Dominicks is running a similar $5 off deal when you purchase certain products. \
They have $5 off if you buy 5 of the specified participating products. Cinnamon toast crunch and Cheerios are in this deal and are priced at $2.50 each.
So I bought 4 boxes of cinnamon toast and 1 box of cheerios.
I had for $1.00 off 1 box of Cinnamon toast.
5 x 2.50 =12.50
-5.00 instant savings
-4.00 coupon savings
Total (plus taxes) =3.58 :) 


I really like these buy so many instant savings deals :) 
So does Ellee.
