Gotta share

So I was clipping coupons the other day and came across some good ones.  At Kmart, where I never ever shop, they have a deal that goes like this.  Buy 2 Hillshire farms lunch meat packages for $5 and get a loaf of bread and a package of cheese slices for free!  Sweet.  Well so I went there and they were out of meat but darn it I'm going back tomorrow.  Oh and I also printed off a coupon for hillshire farms lunch meat, $0.55 off so I'm gonna pay $4.45 for all that!  I did score another deal while I was there.  Two boxes of Nabisco crackers for $2.76!  I got a full size box of Ritz and a box of those cheese sandwich crackers!  They are on sale for $1.88 when you sign up for their rewards program and then I had a coupon for $1 off two boxes!  YAY!

Then I was at Menards (aka the Man store) the other night and got paid for buying shampoo and conditioner!  I paid $36 at the store then I'm getting back $36 in rebates and they were having their 11% off sale and they took it off the $36 that I paid!  So I'm getting almost $40 back in rebates!  And trust me, we'll use it!

If you're wondering the shampoo is pry still free.  The Kmart deal goes through March 3 if you want to check it out.  Oh and I swung by Hy-vee for some deals last night and found an Edwards turtle pie for $1.99 it is delicious!

Oh and I found a good easy to use website for coupons.  www.smartsource.com  Have any of you found any good deals you'd like to share?

weird day

What a  rough day!  Poor baby Jacob is so sick.  I took him to the dr yesterday and they said he has croup so they gave him steroids for his throat.  Then I also told the pediatrician about this thing that he does with his eyes.  I had taken a video of it and brought it along.  She showed it to two other pediatricians and they are all stumped.  She's now trying to get ahold of a pediatric opthamologist (sp?) who recommended that she get a urine sample.  So today we went back to get the urine sample.  Wow, if you thought peeing in a cup is bad...  So they put a little bag over his peepee and it kinda suctions on and then you just wait til he pees.  Well, my very miserably sick Jacob, coughing, sniffling Micah, and I sat in a gray room with minimal toys for at least an hour, no pee.  By the end both boys were crying and I was pretty close.  The sweet nurse came in and said just go home and bring the pee back in this cup later.  Lol so Jacob is now napping, I don't know if he's peed yet,  hopefully if he has it's staying in the bag.

On a happier note my darling husband came to the office as we were leaving and carried the heaviest of us to the car, put Jacob to bed and got Micah a video.  So now, for a moment I have peace, I'll let you know how the transfer from bag to cup to dr's office goes :)
