Diapers.com Deal!

I was lucky enough to come across a great diaper deal in the past week! I got 312 Luvs (Size 2) diapers for $26.00...the BEST part? They were delivered to my door the day after I placed my order!

Here is how you can do it too!

Go to Diapers.com.

Add at least $49 (containing at least one pack of diapers) to your cart. I added one extra large case of Luvs diapers and two jumbo packs of diapers to bring my total to $50.97.

Use DaisysDish in the promo/referral code box during checkout to get $10 off your first order containing diapers.

Submit for this rebate to get $14.97 back. The rebate link looks like it’s only a free magazine subscription at first, but scroll down and you’ll read how you can actually just mail it in for a $14.97 check!

So all said, you save $25.00 off your order of $49 or more with free next day shipping to most locations!

This deal works with all disposable diapers, so if Luvs is not your brand of choice, it will work with Huggies, Pampers, or whatever diaper you prefer!

Diapers.com also accepts manufacturer's coupons if you mail them to them in advance of planning to use them. Get the info of how to submit manufacturer's coupons here.

$3.00 off Huggies Coupons! Get them while you can!

There are currently three different coupons for $3.00 off a package of Huggies diapers. This is a great high value coupon and will come in in very handy on some of the upcoming sales in the next few weeks!

The first one is at coupons.com. It was on the first page for me, but it might be on a different page for you!

The second one is on facebook. Just become a fan of Huggies and check out the first post to get your coupon!

The third one is here (IE); here (Firefox); or here (Safari).

Thanks to Money Saving Mom for the alert on these great coupons!!

Back to the Blog!

It's been a while since I've been here posting anything....so I'm going to try to get motivated again! We'll see how long it lasts this time!

Just for Sean's Ramblings

Here is a (somewhat) embarrassing picture of my "stockpile" of stuff that I've "purchased" for free or next to free at CVS. The food items on the top shelf were mostly purchased using coupons, too.

Free Dove Shampoo/Conditioner Sample

Caress Body Wash Sample

Free sample of the new Brazilian Caress Exotic Oil Infusions Body Wash.

(almost) FREE cereal!

There is an internet coupon for $2.00 off the new Honey Bunches of Oats with Chocolate Clusters cereal. The cereal is priced at $2.29 at Walmart. I've already purchased 3 or 4 boxes of this cereal using coupons that I printed. For some reason, when the coupons reset, I was unable to print them so I just clicked the "help" option at the bottom of the print page and filled out my info to have a coupon mailed to me. I also filled out the help option for hubby. To my surprise, I received 14 coupons today for $2.00 off a box of cereal. They expire on April 7, so I will need to use them soon. Am I crazy for buying 14 boxes of cereal if I can get them for $0.29 each?

You can get the coupon here (scroll to the bottom page and click the "Get $2 off" button on the right). Enjoy!

CVS Deals

Thanks to Crystal at Money Saving Mom, I have learned that there are some great deals to be had at CVS. I managed to get $27.00 worth of merchandise for $1.64! Plus I earned $3.00 in ECBs for next time and I have a rebate for the full purchase price of one of the items!

Here is my transaction:

1 Bic Soleil Razor at $5.99
1 Soft & Dri Deodorant at $2.47
1 Loreal Vive Shampoo at $4.99
1 Loreal Vive Conditioner $4.99
1 Ensure Chocolate 6 pack at $8.49

My total was $26.93 plus tax.
-$4.99 (Loreal Vive was Buy One Get One Free)
-$5.00 (CVS coupon for $5.00 off $15 purchase)
-$1.00 Coupon on Loreal Vive
-$1.00 Coupon on Loreal Vive
-$2.00 Coupon on Bic Soleil
-$1.00 Coupon on Soft & Dri
-$10.00 in previously earned ECBs

Grand total: $1.64 paid out of pocket today. The Bic Soleil printed an ECB for $3.00 and I have a rebate for the full purchase price of the Ensure (form available here)

In actuality...I'll earn $6.85 on this purchase!

Back to Blogging....

OK, so I've been MIA since the end of August. A lot has changed since then. I left my full time job and returned to school full time while working part time. Needless to say, that stopped the (limited) blogging that I was doing prior to that.

I think I'm ready to get back into the swing of things. We'll see how long it works this time!

The Great Outdoors.....

I was outside with the dogs this afternoon and came up on the back deck and saw this little guy in our backyard. I ran inside to get the camera and captured this picture just before he (or she) took off into the corn field behind our house. We've suspected that there is a den of red fox behind the house, and this pretty much confirms it! The picture is a little blurry and far away, but it's a red fox...I promise!

Thursday Thirteen (I'm to lazy to enter a logo code today)

Thirteen things I want:

1. The next three weeks to go fast so that I'm done at the office and can focus on school.
2. My chemistry prof. to get the syllabus corrected so I can get the lab schedule in my planner.
3. The temperature to go down about 10 degrees.
4. The dogs to stop barking.
5. Boss to stop making me feel bad when he tell people that I'm leaving.
6. A smarter president.

OK, now these are purely fantasy....but maybe when I'm done with school?!?!
7. An unlimited handbag budget (I have a slight obsession...)
8. A week away with hubby (and maybe the dogs) in the mountains near a lake.
9. My Mazda3 back (I had to go practical...couldn't get the Mazda out of the driveway in the winter!)
10. To go to Times Square for New Years.
11. To go to New Orleans for Mardis Gras.
12. To go on an extended vacation to Europe so hubby can show me Spain and we can explore Italy together.
13. A pool. Not really, but today one would be really nice!

An Observation....

While I realize that there are people that genuinely have health problems that necessitate the use of the electric cart at the store, there are some people that are just fat and lazy. Frankly, a few laps around the store would probably do most of them some good.

Rated "G"

Thanks to Sean's Ramblings for this link. Apparently, I'm rated G as well. Maybe it's time to spice it up a bit?

Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen things about me:

1. Like Jaded Moon said last week...I need a haircut.

4. I am quitting my full-time job to return to school full time and only work part-time.
5. I am terrified of spiders, but not of snakes.

8. I am slightly addicted to getting free samples.
9. I have two dogs, a year and a half old Chocolate Lab, and a 4 month old Yellow Lab.

12. I'm trying to get excited about the free, unlimited use of the university gym, but it's just not working.
13. Hubby and I bought bikes yesterday and I only made it about a mile and a half on our first ride before I started whining!

Happy 4th of July!

I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July! Thank you to those that are serving or have served in the military.
