Fun Free Stuff In Today's Mail

I had an array of fun things come in the mail today. I'll start with the two samples.

The Huggies diaper sample I requested here came. I ordered the newborn size and they are perfect for my daughter's dolls! Also included was a plastic Huggies "zipper" bag and a $3.00 coupon.

The Juicy Juice sports bottle also came, I requested it here and gave it to my son for soccer class. He was so excited!! So, it looks like each kiddo got a present today...and they were FREE!

Today's redplum with all the "junk" flyers had a few good coupons you may want to look for.

-$3.00 off Venus Spa Breeze
-B1G1 Free Satin Care Shave Gel
-$3.00 off Gillette Fusion
-B1G1 Free Gillette Series Shave Gel
-$1.50 off Excedrin 100 ct. Back & Body

Dillard's sent me 4 coupons for FREE shipping, 4 coupons for FREE gift wrapping and a very small almost to be missed card for a free magazine subscription. I can pick from Glamour, Vogue, GQ, Teen Vogue or Lucky. Remember last week I made $.50 a magazine selling them at Half Price Books. So it's like Dillard's sent me $6 in the mail, or at least that's the way I see it. :)

Lastly, I received two $5/$50 coupons from The Home Depot Garden Club.

Did you get anything fun? Let me know!

Wylie Mom's Weekly Recap - Week 26

Wow, it's hard to believe that 2009 is already half over! As far as last week's tracking it was a slow financial week, but a very action packed week personally (son's birthday and family visiting!). Here are the numbers:

Savings - $55.52

- saved $12.68 at Walmart (didn't blog...it was boring)
- saved $2.89 at Sonic (free Wacky Pack printable coupon from Sonic Birthday Club)
- saved $24.95 at Albertsons
- saved $10 at Party City ($10/30 Party City coupon)
- saved $5.00 with Papa Murphy coupon (I got 2 family sized "take and bake" pizzas & some cheese bread for my son's birthday party...it feed 14 people for $21)

eBay Sales - $122.45

Misc. Income - $16.99

-$2.00 cash at Half Price Books (I took in 8 magaiznes, that I got for free)
-$5.00 from Synovate Research (surveys and product trials...e-mail me for a referal)
-$9.99 rebate from Centrum

Weekly Impact - $194.96
Yearly Impact - $9,284.26

I'm happy (and thankful) about the eBay sales. A total of $122.45 in sales and only $9.99 was made at auction (one item!!) and $112.46 was from my store (9 items!!).

My favorite item that sold was this cool Pottery Barn plate. I found 4 of them at a garage sale a few weeks back and paid $1 a piece. I listed 2 of them auction style first, starting at $9.99 and they went unsold after 7 days. So I moved all 4 of them to my store and priced them at $13.97. They all four sold, 12 days later ($55.88)!! I paid $7.44 to eBay ($.70 original auction listing fees, $.03 store listing fee and $6.71 final value fee) and $2.27 to PayPal. So, $55.88 minus $4 for the plates minus $9.71 in fees equals $41.91 profit. I cleared $10.47 per plate, and my goal is $10 per item. I paid 7% in cost of goods sold and 18% in expenses and made 75% in profit. Very nice!

Have a great week!!

I'll admit, I've forgotten this one almost every Friday morning. But, I did remember 2 weeks ago and my coupon arrived yesterday!

Free Glidden Paint Sample

This free sample is way too easy!! Just check out all the fun colors of Glidden paint and pick out your favorite one. They will send you a 1 qt sample in an eggshell finish. Yay!

The Glidden National Paint Giveaway

This came at the perfect time for me! My son is turning 3 and it's time to paint over the Classic Pooh mural in his room. It was the same room my daughter used when she was little so it's had lots of love, but it's very sad to think about painting over it! Anyway, I have been thinking of painting my son's room blue. So, I picked out Rich Navy as my free sample. And, I cheated a bit and my mom is having a sample of Steel Blue sent to her house.

What painting projects are you thinking about? What color sample did you request?

Thanks Dad for the link!! :)

Once Upon A Child Sale This Saturday!

As far as I know this is good for the Garland, Flower Mound and Plano locations only!! Once Upon A Child is a kids and maternity resell shop. Since they are franchised out, sales and stuff will differ a bit from store to store.

Saturday - June 27th, 2009

"Join us for this GIANT clearance event! Save more by the hour on ALL Redline Items!"

10:00am - 1:00pm - Save 50%
1:00pm - 4:00pm - Save 60%
4:00pm - 6:00pm - Save 70%

Overall, I like shopping here. I would say their prices are a bit high, but that's where the sale comes in. Not to mention the frequent shopper discount card (it takes me a few years to fill!). Anyway, they price on a scale. So, Target shorts would be about $3 or $4 but Ralph Lauren ones $8 or $9. Which is why, overall, I favor thrift stores for name brand finds ($1-2).

On the flip side I would also recommend selling here. They take toys, equipment and clothes regardless of the season. For instance, some places will only take fall stuff in the fall. I will point out this is not a 50/50 consignment deal. They are buying the items outright, and you will get about 30% of the selling price point. I sometimes take things here that didn't sell at consignment (The Mulberry Bush) and are not "eBay worthy".

Sometimes after the Moonlight Madness sale they run a $.99 sale if there is a lot of merchandise left....keep an eye out for that. And, I have bought used name brand clothes here for my kids, they have worn them, and then I resold them on eBay for a profit! Be sure to only purchase items in excellent condition. Sometimes, I get lucky and will find something new with tags!

All good reasons to find a Once Upon A Child near you and check it out!

I'm Such A Lazy Shopper!

Other than a trip to Sprouts, it had been 2 weeks since I grocery shopped. I mainly just needed dairy and some chips/snacks. We have a stocked pantry and freezer otherwise!! I headed to Alberstons yesterday morning, before the ad arrived at the house, so I had to just wing it this trip.

I spent $29.39 and saved $23.45.

This week at Albertsons Kraft Cheese is 5/$10 ($2 each). Now this wasn't tagged of course, but here's there catalina deal:

Buy 3 (6 oz or larger) Kraft Cheeses and get $2.00 off your next order (oyno, or a catalina)
Buy 4 get a $3.00 catalina
Buy 5 or more get a $4.00 catalina

I was bummed this wasn't tagged in the store since I bought 2 Kraft Cheeses. I would have got at least one more, darn it! This deal runs 6/19 until 7/12.

I also saw catalina tags on Jello Pudding 6 packs, buy 2 get a $1.00.

Another deal, I used my 2 Kool-Aid/Sugar coupons from a few weeks back. Kool-Aid is priced at Albertsons 8/$1.00 ($.12 each). So I purchased 20 packets and 2 C&H sugars at $2.19 each. That's $6.78 for Kool-Aid and sugar. But I used the 2 $2.00 off sugar coupons plus 2 $.35 off C&H sugar coupons that were tripled...calculator sounds......okay, that $.68 total for 20 packets of Kool-Aid and two 4 pound bags of C&H. But wait, there's more!! I'll list the Kool-Aid on eBay (to sell internationally most likely) and make about $10 back. So, free sugar plus a small profit! :)

For example, here's an eBay listing that has ended, 50 Kool-Aid packets sold for $24.95! Which is amout right, $.50 a packet on eBay.

Be sure to visit the Albertsons website, there's a Coke/Disney matching game you can play for a chance to win a Disney Resort vacation. Good luck!

Nothing really exciting to report this week. Honestly, I've been put playing with the kids so much, and have been a terrible blogger! But, we're having "fun in the sun" this summer! We've been playing out under our shady arbor/pergola and have been playing in the baby pool and sprinkler. Fun on the cheap! :)

Have a great week!

I Headed To Sprouts For Fruit And Left With...

I felt a little bad this morning when I opted to go to Sprouts instead it the Wylie Farmer's Market. I would love to support the local farmers...but Sprouts has a huge selection (yay, bulk food!) and fair prices! Pictured is what I got today for $12.21.

Some frugal highlights:

Banana Chips $1.69/pound

Yogurt Covered Pretzels $2.49/pound

Braeburn Apples $.99/pound

Strawberries $2.00

The small bag has dried plums for the kids....they are so funny! They stood in the store jumping up and down begging for dried plums!! My opinion is yuck, but they don't know that.

It's hard to figure savings at Sprouts but I left the store with a smile...surely that's something!

A Trip To Both Walgreens And CVS

My daughter started a summer camp at the dance studio today, so I ran some errands while she was in class. I had forgotten how easy errands are with only one kiddo in tow. Somehow, when you are talking about kids, 1 + 1 = 3. Or, so it seems when you're in a drug store trying to score some deals with a pile of coupons. :)

First stop, CVS:

2 Raisin Brans $3.76

2 Planter's Peanuts (B1G1 FREE) $3.99

Johnson's Lotion $3

Crest Pro-Health $2.99

minus

(2) Raisin Bran newspaper coupons

$1.00 Planters printable coupon (from my coupon bar last month, wish I had more!!)

$1.00 Johnson's newspaper coupon

$6.00 in ECB

Total OOP $3.74 and I got back $2.00 in Extra Care Bucks for the Crest. I saved $21.40. No luck on the razor deal, but I'll check again later in the week.

Next stop, Walgreens:

Sun Dish Detergent $1.99

2 Right Guard Deodorants $5.98

St. Ives Body Wash $2.99

minus

(2) $1.00 off Right Guard newspaper coupons

$.99 Wags/Right Guard coupon (saved $4.00)

$1.00 off St. Ives newspaper coupon

I spent the last $2.73 of my Walgreens gift card (sniff, sniff) and paid $.85 cash OOP. I got back $3.00 in Register Rewards for the St. Ives, so I made a "profit" of $2.15, and saved $8.91. Yippee!!

Wylie Mom's Weekly Recap - Week 24

I saved lots of money last week!

Saved - $329.73

- $3.75 at Shutterfly (25 free prints when you sign up)
- $10.00 at Party City ($10 coupon here)
- $10 at Toys R Us (sign up for coupons here)
- $225.22 at Kohl's (sales & a 30% off coupon!!)
- $75.26 at Kroger, CVS and Albertsons

eBay Sales - $116.25

Misc. Income - $0.00

Weekly Impact - $445.98

Yearly Impact - $8,769.10

Pretty nice week! eBay was slow, but I'm not surprised. I've haven't been listing much lately since I'm working on moving my pictures from Auctivia to eBay. That's a long boring story, and a long boring process. Anyway, last week I sold 10 items ($116.25) and 9 of those were from my store. Just a reminder, my eBay store is full of things that DID NOT sell at auction. I marked up the price and let them sit in tubs in the garage a little longer.......then, cha-ching! eBay + Patience = Money!!

Have a great week!

Power Shopping Friday!

I hit 3 stores in an hour and a half this morning with the kids!

First stop, CVS:

Swiffer Dusters $7.00
Febreeze $3.00
2 Dawns $4.00
2 Listerines $7.98

minus

$2.00 off Swiffer coupons from inside of a Swiffer box
$1.00 Febreeze coupons from mailed P&G book
(2) $.50 off Dawn coupons from mailed P&G book
(2) 2.00 off Listerine Total Care printable coupon
$9.00 in Extra Care Bucks

Total OOP = $2.98 and I got back $6.00 in Extra Care Bucks. I would have done better, but I gave hubby some ECB yesterday and it's unblogged. Yikes! :)

Next stop, Kroger:

I did the Dinner Deal this week. I paid $8.99 for a Kroger Take and Bake Pizza and got Pudding Cups, Salad Mix, Soda and a French Baguette for FREE.

I also picked up 2 of the Velvetta Easy Mac cups. I stacked a $.55/1 coupon with a B1G1 FREE printable from Kraft First Taste = $.32 each

Strawberries are $.99 a pound and bananas are $.33 a pound!

I spent $29.88 (darn chicken breasts and pizza!) and saved $24.36. I didn't use any this trip, but remember to load your eCoupons before you shop at Kroger.

P&G eSaver

Swiss Sweet Tea $.99 with Albertsons coupon - $1.00 newspaper coupon = FREE

Milk = FREE with coupon from last week's Kellogg's deal

OJ $.99 with Alberstons coupon

Total OOP = $14.51 and I saved $27.44.

Still Wondering What To Get Dad For Father's Day? Here's An Idea!

Just in time for Father's Day, CVS is offering a FREE 8x10!! This offer doesn't expire until June 21st, so you still have plenty of time before Father's Day. Just use promo code FREE8X10 at checkout.

Plus, if you have never used CVS for digital photo prints, you can also get 50 FREE 4x6 prints just for signing up.

P.S. If you're already a CVS customer, CVS is also offering 60 4x6 prints for the price of 40, use promo code 60FOR40. This offer is good through July 25th.

Wylie Mom's Weekly Recap - Week 23

Last week shaped up pretty good thanks to a nice eBay week. Since my stock piles are so full, I'm not as shopping much these days, so no drug store trips last week.

Savings - $148.28

- $43.54 at Target and $55.27 at Albertson's
- $20.00 cut hubby's hair at home
- $29.47 (my last 2 Bzz kits, Neutrogena and Off)

eBay Sales - $318.51

Misc. Income - $9.00 from Survey Spot (read my survey post here)

Weekly Impact - $475.79
Yearly Impact - $8,323.12

Now that I'm looking at the numbers.....it was a great week! Woot woot! If I "gross up" my weekly figure to account for gas, taxes, etc. (to pretend I worked outside of the home for this $$) I would have had to made $634.38 or $15.85 an hour at 40 hours a week. Not bad for staying home with my kiddos, is it?

My favorite item from last week is still pending, but in it's place I have my SUPER FAVORITE eBay item of all time to share! McDonald's Happy Meal toys. Yup, you read that right, Happy Meal toys! I list them straight to the store for $4.97, new in package. That means they are unopened/still in the sealed plastic. I've been selling a few every month for a while now, but this weekend, I sold 19 toys to one person!! That was almost $95!! I only have a few left, and sold another last night. Here's what I figure, after paying for the Happy Meal (prices vary per market and Happy Meal type), eBay fees and PayPal fees I break even (a few cents to no profit). But, I did feed my kids (and usually myself) and let them play with some kiddos. So, basically I use McDonald's for a "FREE" lunch and entertainment in rainy weather.

Yes.....I'm crazy! Have a great week! :)

I'll Need To Wake Up Early In Wylie This Weekend!

I have a few reasons to get up and out the door early this weekend.

Tomorrow morning, June 5th, is the kick-off party for the Texas Summer Reading Club. This year's theme is Libraries: Deep in the Heart of Texas! The kick off party will be from 9am to 12pm.

"There will be a balloon artist, a bounce house, a Texas Size Petting Zoo and the City of Wylie's police and fire department. These events are FREE and fun for the whole family. If you plan on participating in all of the activities, be sure to arrive early."

The early part is the truth! They usually stop the line for the face painter at 11 or so, so get there closer to 9am than to 12pm.

You can pick up your reading logs anytime. Yesterday was the first day they were available so I went to get ours. I'm such a nerd! Click here for more info on the summer reading programs and the kick off tomorrow.

Saturday, the 6th, is the Wylie Farmer's Market from 8am to 1pm. I got some yummy starwberries last time. It's on Ballard St. across from the park.

Also on Saturday, the Home Depot is having their Kids Workshop from 9am to 12pm. This month you'll build a hardware sorter. Sounds pretty handy. The kids workshop is FREE. :)

Throwing A Bit Of Cash Target's Way

I finally headed to Target! I really like Target, don't get me wrong. But until the Wylie Super Target is open (2 more months...yay!), I have to drive 10 miles to Target. Ugh!

Skintimate $2.24 - $.75 newspaper coupon - $1.00 Target/Skintimate printable coupon = .49 each

Kashi Waffles (on sale) $1.79 - $1.50 mailed coupon from VocalPoint = $.29 each (5 boxes at that price! Yay!)

I had a coupon for everything except the milk, bananas, kitty litter, kitty food (crazy huh!) and the contact solution. So, I got Target brand for all of these items. I also used my $5/50 Target "grocery" coupon. After using the last of my Target gift card from MyPoints ($6.08 was left), I paid $32.41 cash out of pocket and saved $43.54. Icing on the cake was that I had a super nice cashier!! :)

P.S. I had intended to get the razor deal ($10 gc back), but they were all out! Oh well, I was planning on selling it on eBay anyway. :)

P.P.S. Check out more Target deals and steals at Attention Target Shoppers!!
