$.50/1 Bear Naked Granola

$1.00/1 Del Monte Fruit Cups

M.I.A

Hey All!!! I swear I haven't had any time to blog at all!! It seems I am always on the run the past week. The sales have been lackluster, but I will have another post about that.

So, I went to Kings of Leon last week!! My pictures are awful and you can always check out my Facebook and check out my cell phone pics. I had a blast!! The seats ended up being 13th row from the stage!! Not bad, for being totally FREE!!!

When they come back through, I will definately PAY to see Kings Of Leon, they put on an awesome show!!!

Last night something awesome happened!!!

I WON BACKSTAGE PASSES, V.I.P. TICKETS AND SIGNED GEAR for THE WARPED TOUR!!! :) :) :) :)

See I never win anything, so I was so THILLED! Even more so my husband, since I was doing this for him!! What a FANTABULOUS freebie!

Potpourri....

Today I did most of my shopping and WOO WEE did I buy a lot and of course spent a lot :(

I spent almost 2 week's worth of my budget, but don't fret!! I stocked up on meat for the whole month!!

Here is the bulk of my sales:

20 lbs of chicken ( total close to $25)
12 lbs of turkey ($12)
lots of wheat pasta!!
25 cans of diced tomatoes ( these are $.39 each at King Sooper's)
Lots of fresh fruit and vegetables
Shredded Cheese

I then ran out of a lot of staples and there hasn't been any HOT sales or even coupons to get these cheap.

Olive Oil
Cooking Spray
Jalapenos
Plus lots more....

In our house, we try to really use the best quality we can. I never cook from a box and must of our meals are fresh and homemade. This is why my budget per week is higher than the typical couponer!!

Target Run


This was a quickie Target Run ( we ran out of T.P. and a Target is right by my house)

I paid less than $15.00 for all that and $9 of it was just for the Charmin!!!

This is what I got:

3 Lysol sheets $2.19
I used $2/1 coupons I received from writing manufacturer = $.19 each

3 Crystal Light Pure Fitness $1.97
used 3 $2/1 coupons from vocal point = FREE

Charmin = $8.99

Spidermen underwear = clearanced for $1.72

Maybeline Eyeshadow = clearanced for $1.04

I found these things at the $1 spot:

1 Pre-K workbook
1 card making kit
1 utensil holder

I saved a total of $30!!

What I love about the dollar spot is that many of the things can be re purposed for something else. For example, the card kit I actually turned into small wall hangings for my kitchen. A girl has to have her PINK!!!!

Have you seen any good deals at Target lately??

Safeway Run


The picture isn't the best, but I bought all that plus 2 lbs strawberries and 1 lb. mushrooms for less than $12.

Not too shabby!!!

Jackie Warner

I am a big reality t.v, my guilty pleasure, fan. I loved watching 'Workout" on Bravo, so I was stoked to see Jackie Warner put out a new book and workout DVD. I checked out the book from my local library (I hardly ever buy books or DVDs unless they are reduced greatly!!) I didn't know what to expect as most "diet" books I read I quit reading after the first few chapters. This one I almost finished!!!!

I really loved this book! There are no uber expensive foods to buy and no crazy drinks to gulp down. She has really done all the work for you!

2 Week Jump start: I love this part!! Basically you eat what you normally do, but you add in a few foods.
1. 1 cup oatmeal
2. 2 eggs with no added fat
3. 3 liters of water
4. 2 servings fruit
5. 2 servings vegetables.

BRILLIANT!! I started this today and my sugar cravings were greatly reduced!!!

5/2 Meal Plan: Love this plan. Essentially you eat clean for 5 days in a row and then the last two days you have 2 "treat" meals not exceeding 1500 calories. Very doable!!!

Short workouts: I love this idea!  I always wondered how people can spend 2 hours a day in the gym and not change their appearance!!  She believes intensity and quality over quantity. I like this idea....I mean who really wants to spend 2 hours in the gym, I mean REALLY!!!!

That's my review, in a nutshell. Oh, I have been enjoying family time for the past few weeks, so hopefully I can get back into my blogger groove!!
