Can't afford the high prices of school pictures
then check out this deal at Walmart.

Are you desperately in need of some new photos of the kids or of the family? If so, consider making an appointment at the PictureMe Photo Studio located inside your local Walmart store. Currently, most PictureMe Studios are offering a 30 portrait package for only $7.99 (this one-pose package includes 1 8×10, 2 5x7s, 4 3.5x5s, 8 wallets and 16 keepsakes; also keep in mind that the $7.99 fee is for one person with each extra person in the photo costing another $5). To snag this $7.99 offer, head on over here and click on the “special offers” tab. And the deal gets even better! Check out this email below that I received from reader, Autumn…

Hi Collin! I have a pretty sweet deal to share with you and your readers. Have you ever heard of PictureMe Portrait Studios located in most Walmarts? Well if so, then you’re probably familiar with the “One-Pose Package” they offer that includes over 30 photos of the same pose for $7.99 (and sometimes it even goes on sale for $4.99). Well, I know how you can take that deal and make it even sweeter. Go in, get your one-pose package done for $7.99 (+ $5.00 for each additional person in the photo) . Once paid for, they will give you a code to view and purchase all of the poses (not just the one pose you selected, but all of them) online at myonlineportraits.com. And this is where the magic happens. Not only does myonlineportraits.com offer FREE enhancements on all online orders (the studio charges 5.00 extra per sheet for these), but there is also a code (2FREE6) you can use at checkout for 2 free sheets, no minimum purchase required! And the shipping on these sheets is only $3.99! So basically you are getting $20.00 worth of photos for $3.99. And when you combine that with your one-pose package you’re only paying a little over 12 bucks for everything!! I don’t think you can find a cheaper deal on professional pics anywhere! And don’t forget you get FREE enhancements on those two sheets! In the end, I scored 4 free sheets because my hubby created an account with his credit card and got another 2 free (the site gives you the ability to share your photos with others who can then purchase sheets as well). This is definitely a great deal for those of us moms who just don’t have a whole lot of money to spend on professional photos and I hope everyone enjoys it and gets some beautiful pictures done!

This morning me and mom went to Meijer
and got a small amount of groceries.

11:50PM

Think I'll go carpet clean some areas
in my living room that need tended to
thanks to a dog.
At Meijer I got some Mr. Clean pourable bottles
for a buck each.
This is my favorite to use in the carpet cleaner.
I haven't had any in quite some time
so am anxious to clean with it once again!
I actually like it better than the Lysol
but beggars can't be choosers
when it comes to price.
I had a ton of Lysol pourables I have been
using that I got for .50 cents each.

12:15PM

Got living room carpet cleaned.
It sure smells better in here.
The Mr Clean is orange scented
and has Febreez in it.

Stomach ache seemed to of gone
away today thank goodness!
But today I woke up with a headache.
I can't win.

I got something easy for supper tonight.
Meijers had Freschetta pizzas normally $5.98 each
on sale for $4.00.
I had $1.00 coupons which made them $3.00 each.
So tonight we're having 2 pizzas.
I saved almost $6 on them!
Still lots cheaper than ordering
from a pizza place at $20 for 2.

Well I just won a new battery from Ebay
for Tony's phone.
I'm so tired of these phones not working
and won't hold a charge.
Don't want to buy any more phones at
the moment so am going the route
of trying a new battery.
If I had bought this battery from Sprint
I'm sure it would have ran $20-$30 if not more!
Ebay cost was $3.98 with free shipping!
It pays to shop around to save money.
Next I might find a battery for her
phone to save them from buying another phone.


Well I think I am going to go lay down.
My head still hurts.
Tony just called and said he will
be getting off at normal time.
I sure will be glad when his property inspection
is over with because this crap of
working til 7PM and having to be
at work an hour early at 7AM is for the birds!!

--------------------------------

This is just a end of the month printable coupon reminder. Be sure to print out the coupons from SmartSource, RedPlum, and Coupons.com before the end of this month. They may be gone after this month or reset for next month for even more savings!

------------------------------

Hurry, only a few days left
to print your coupons to save up to $60 on Pillsbury


------------------------------

Be sure to check your snail mail.
Kroger is sending out another go round of coupons.
I received 12 of them today.

----------------------------

Get a free bottle of John Freida
Root Awakening shampoo or conditioner
.
I'm still trying for this.
Seems to have a server issue
when I click on the link
to claim coupon.

(Hip2Save)
.
Toys R Us has a new $5 off $25 printable in-store coupon available here, valid thru 10/3! (Thanks, Coupon Connections NW!) You can use this coupon to sweeten all the Toys R Us deals I posted about here. Here’s one idea to get ya thinkin’…

*Buy 2 Hasbro Strawberry Shortcake Berry Cruiser RC on sale for only $14.99
Total = $29.98
Use the $5 off $25 Toys R Us coupon found here
Use 2 $10/1 coupons from the 9/26 Play-Saver coupon insert (not all areas received this insert)
Final cost ONLY $4.98 total– just $2.49 each!

------------------------------------

.

You can score a pretty sweet deal on Goya Bean at Walgreens this week….

*Buy 6 15 oz Goya Canned beans
Use the Goya Canned Bean 15.5 oz 2/$1 Walgreens coupon found here
Plus, use 2 $0.75/3 coupons found here
Final cost only $0.25 per can!

Can't believe I found a deal on beans!
I was just thinking some homemade
chili in the crock pot sounded good.
The only problem I found with the deal
above is that Walgreens coupon says
limit 4.
so .50 cents x's 3 is $1.50
minus .75 cents off 3 cans
makes it .75 cents for 3 or .25 cents each.

So tomorrow I will check out this
deal along with the Wet N Wild makeup!

Tip for school lunches:

Instead of buying individually
packed snack items such
as applesauce buy the larger
jars and spoon into reusable
containers. It's much cheaper that way..
And don't buy the snack sized bags
of veggies or fruits.
It's cheaper to purchase the veggies
and cut them up!
Buying canned fruit is also cheaper
to use in reusable containers.

------------------------------

.

Yay!! This high value coupon is available again! Go here to print a coupon valid for $4 of any 2 Benadryl Products (excludes trial sizes). The Benadryl Itch Relief sticks are priced around $2.28 at Walmart and Target, so just $0.28 each after the coupon!

(deal seeking mom)

There are two new Ronzoni Pasta printable coupons that could score you FREE pasta with a sale depending on how high your store doubles:

We've seen this priced at $1 at Meijer and Kroger recently, so watch for the sale to roll back around!

-----------------------------------

Today at Meijer I got caramel vanilla
flavored coffee creamer FREE.
While I don't drink coffee I think
it would taste wonderful in a mug
of hot chocolate!
Doesn't that sound good with
this chillier weather we're having?
I've been thinking about having a cup.

I also stocked up on 4 Chex Mix snacks
at .50 cents each.
I still have about 3 bags in the pantry
I paid the same amount for
Skip buying those individual snack
chips for kids lunches.
It is much cheaper to buy the larger bags
and divide it up into zip loc bags or reusable containers.

Tonight we had frozen pizzas.
The leftovers are going into the kids lunches
for tomorrow.
I'm sure they get bored with peanut butter
and jelly or bologna and cheese sandwiches
so I try to give them a variety of things.
I give them things like spaghetti, pizza rolls,
Spaghetti O's, meatloaf and so on.
If I get a couple days ahead with Tony's lunches
I give the kids the leftovers from supper for their school
lunch the next day.

----------------------------
.
.
Don't this sound good?
Skip Starbucks and head over
to Speedway to get a 16 oz. cup of
pumpkin spice cappucino or iced coffee for .99 cents

--------------------------

Does Walmart give you a hard
time using coupons, especially printed coupons.
Here is their coupon policy
you can print out and carry with you
when you shop!


-----------------------------

7:35PM

Cell phone rings in kitchen and Tony answers it.
It's Jonathan calling from the house phone in
his bedroom.
He says, "I need room service.
Can you bring me something to drink?"

I'm telling ya, what will they think
of next? Me and Tony thought it was funny!

FYI

Halloween for Columbus, Pataskala & Reynoldsburg
is Thursday October 28th 6-8PM

---------------------------

I took a survey to possibly get picked
to host a house party.
I've never signed up for a house party
before so we will see how this goes.
It is for Folgers Special Roast Coffee
and Land O Lakes Half N Half.
So if I should get chosen friends
and family are invited!
It would be October 23rd so will
let you know if I get chosen.

Want to sign up to become a
House Party member?
Go HERE!

I've gotten quite a few invitations
from them but never signed up
for one til now.
I figured a lot of people liked
coffee so why not!

-------------------------

Now we are thinking that the batteries
in the phones are fine that the house battery
charger isn't working right.
Doing a test run with a car
charger at the moment.
So back to Ebay to search for
a house charger.
I found a new one for $2.84 BIN
free shipping.
I checked on Sprint and they
want $35 for a car charger!!
They didn't have a house charger.

Even though I just won a battery
for $3.89 it's all good.
I have 3 identical phones I can use it in!
