Sunday February 21 from 5-9pm.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday I bought 2 travel size right guard deodorants.
I wasn't sure what to do with them considering they
are not Tony's brand that he uses.
I had a great idea to give them to the boys as their
own smaller sized version of deodorant.
Perfect for their smaller hands.
They love having their own deodorant and being like
dad.

Today I was on the hunt for an over the door shoe organizer.
I need one to put Jonathan's shoes, socks and undies in.
The kids don't have a dresser in their rooms so I use
these instead to store those items.
First I tried Big Lots.
I found one on the shelf and discovered it did not
have the brackets in the package that makes it
hang from a door. I asked an employee if I could
get a discount on it because it had those missing parts.
I was told I could get .80 cents off the $8.00 price tag.
.80 cents was not enough of a discount for me to buy it!
No hangers defeats the purpose of it being able to hang
on a door to use!
So next we tried Dollar General.
No luck there as they only had a wire shoe rack.
But while there I found a box of 6 count pop tarts
half off for only .50 cents.
We finally ended up at Dollar Tree. I found some similar
pocket pouches that wasn't for over the door. I figured
I could screw them into the wall or door. And for only
a buck I bought 4 of them with a total of 20 pouches
for only $4.00. Pretty good when compared to $8 at Big Lots.
Don't know if everyone is aware that Dollar Tree sells
refrigerated/frozen food.
Just a few items I saw today:
-Italian sausage (almost bought but saw the word hot on the
package and had to pass)
-2 cups shredded cheese packages (bought 2)
-American cheese slices (bought 1)
-frozen blueberries (mom bought 1)
-frozen strawberries (mom bought 1)
Check out these cookbooks/websites with recipes
made only from items bought at dollar stores.
The 99¢ Only Stores Cookbook
The .99 Cents Chef
Here are the 4 pocket pouches mounted to the wall
in Jonathan's bedroom behind his door.
I removed the string hanger and used the holes
from that to screw it to the wall.
I love these things to stay organized.
No rummaging through drawers.
Everything is neat and tidy and you can see
everything through the clear pouches.

Join Nielsen Home Scan Consumer Panel
Here is the email I received from them:
The National Consumer Panel is a joint venture between The Nielsen Company and Information Resources, Inc., two well-respected providers of research services. NCP panel members share their shopping preferences with a wide range of manufacturers and retailers. These companies then use this information to decide what products to develop or improve and, ultimately, what to keep on or remove from store shelves.
This is your exclusive opportunity to be chosen as one of these specially selected households and have a direct influence on the consumer marketplace. Make your consumer voice heard, and also be eligible for fantastic gifts and prizes!
****************
And after doing a survey about our family this is the message I got...
Your household will be placed on our waiting list, and we will send you a scanner as soon as a spot on the National Consumer Panel becomes available for a household like yours. We look forward to your participation!
*******I remember about 15 years ago I belonged to the Neilson survey
panel and had a scanner I used to log in all purchases.
You would be rewarded with points that could be turned in for gifts.
So am hoping maybe one day to be able to do it again.

$10 off $25 purchase at Advance Auto Parts
--------------------------------------------------------------------
WATCH THOSE PRICES
Watch those items that say for example 25% more FREE
or has a FREE trial sized item with it.
Sometimes those items can ring up MORE than a
regular item without the freebies!!
If this happens to you, complain to the service desk
or manager to have the price corrected and reduced!!!
If an item claims on the box it is 25% FREE
or has a FREE trial size with it, then it is FREE.
They should not be able to mark up that product
to be more than the regular sized item without the freebies!

If ever you need a free template for things like:
-envelopes
-candy boxes
-cd cases
-cards
-cake boxes
you name it, it's probably there to print out!
MIRKWOOD DESIGNS TEMPLATES (all free to print out!)
Jonathan has a project at school here in the
near future where each child has to make up their
own business. Jonathan's business is a bakery.
I used one of Mirkwood's templates to print out
and stencil onto card stock paper (Big Lots 75 sheets $2.00)
While we will bake up a bunch of goodies we decided
he should have some kind of bakery box so whoever "buys" his
goods can have something to take it home in.
Then we will add tissue paper inside the boxes.
Once we get everything done with this project
(due around March 3rd) then I get photos to post.
