20% off at eBags.com

Okay, I’m a not-so-secret bag junkie. I don’t actually HAVE that many of them but I drool over bags a lot. I think this is probably because I’m a tshirt-and-jeans girl and the right bag can totally change an outfit. In this case I’ll be using my 20% off to get my mom a new handbag for mother’s day. They have awesome selection and recent in-store selection has been pretty pathetic.

Mom Alert $3 off Huggies Diapers!

Coupons.com just loaded their May coupons and one of the coupons is for $3 off Huggies diapers. Print it before they’re all gone. Check the blue coupon box for other great coupon deals too!

My personal favorites include the $2 off CPK frozen pizzas and the $1 off Special K and other select Kellogs cereals (including kid cereals!). Usually you get $1 off the purchase of two or more boxes of cereal so get $1 off ONE box of cereal is a great deal. Remember you can print 2 of each coupon on each computer you have access to… :)

Will Warren Buffet’s Words Effect You?

When the wealthiest man in America speaks people tend to listen, and that’s exactly what Warren Buffet is doing this weekend at the annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting. He gave some insight into what he thinks about the economy (I’m not getting into that because this isn’t a political blog).

He also mentioned that he doesn’t think newspapers are a sustainable business and he sees more and more of them failing. This isn’t earth-shattering, we see headlines like this daily, but it is sad. For one thing, I’ve been reading more and more newspapers now that I’m deep into coupon mode.

The average Sunday paper has at least $100 worth of coupons and costs me roughly $1 to buy (I buy it from the Dollar Tree because delivered newspapers in my building tend to get stolen). If I use even $5 worth of those coupons, and I usually use many many more, then that newspaper is definitely worth my time.

I’m not sure what will become of our beloved Sunday coupon inserts but I hope we don’t go strictly internet. I MUCH prefer the inserts to having to print coupons myself. I guess we’ll have to see…

Snack Time: Genius!

There is nothing worse in the world then a genius idea that goes uncelebrated. I found a cute website with fun (and cheap) ideas for kid crafts and snacks and forgot to bookmark it. I REALLY should have.

Perhaps we can rely on the its-a-small-world theory and hope she finds her way here to claim her idea.

Ever notice how much kids LOVE trying every sample in the store? I’ve seen kids who refuse to ordinarily stand in the same room as a fish dinner happily consume shrimp cocktail just because it came in a Dixie Cup from Costco. It’s almost miraculous.

Well, one enterprising mom decided to exploit embrace this Dixie Cup theory and created the “Costco Lunch.”

What a hilarious lunch for little kids! Put one kid on each side and give them the 6 muffin rounds closest to them with dessert in the back. GENIUS!
