$15 Kodak Gallery Credit

Kodak Gallery is giving out $15 gift card codes to the first 300,000 people to register. This would be a great way to make some Christmas cards this year.

Thanks, Deal Seeking Mom

This is the note I found when I went to tuck my baby girl in to bed tonight. These are the moments moms live for.

Looks like there will be 2 coupon inserts in tomorrow's paper.

Also looks like a good week for Walgreen's. A few things I want to get at CVS too. Go to Southern Savers to get all the sales with coupon match-ups.

I'm tired after a good, but busy day today. Today is my friend, Lori's birthday so we met at Cracker Barrel for breakfast...yum...so good. Then we went to the mall for a little girl time shopping. I used two gift cards I had for Gymboree and got Drew & Abby shirts to wear in our family pictures next week. Then it was pastor Phil and Brandy's wedding. The bride was stunning. They had the perfect day and the perfect weather for a wedding. As I was watching the photographer photograph Brandy outside under the trees in her strapless gown I was thinking she must be cold.....then that made me think of my wedding day last June 20th when the temp was 100 degrees. I should have planned a fall wedding:)

Visit Glidden.com to pick you paint color then register for a free quart of Glidden paint.You must mail in the registraton sheet along with the front label of a competitor paint label by 10/16. I had some old paint cans in the gargage that I used the label from. They will mail you the quart of your choice. They had a free offer for a quart in the summer that I received as well. I picked the same color and I may use them together.
Thanks, Mimi's jewel box of tips and treasures for this info.

Are you having problems understanding Walgreens?

I have spoken to a lot of my friends about the rules/guidelines of successfully using Walgreen's register rewards, but sometimes it is complicated. I just read a guest post at Steals and Deals that explained it pretty well. Click here to read more about Walgreen's register reward program.

get your newspapers today

After a fun weekend of celebrating it is time to get back to frugalness. Today's paper has 3 sets of coupons in it and a Publix advantage flyer. Make sure you buy at least 2 so you have an even number for the BOGO free deals.

Birthday weekend

We are back. We had a great weekend celebrating the twins 7th birthday. There wasn't anything to frugal about this weekend, except they got into Disney free and we got an awesome hotel on priceline.com for $44/night.
The kids are squinting because the sun was right in our eye...aaahhh... the quest for good pictures:)
Riding the teacups. We decided to all ride in one cup. Jim's legs were crammed in. Those cups are smaller than we remembered.LOL
Family pic with Tinkerbell...btw...Drew was not a willing participant. He didn't think the Disney fairies were to cool.
Enjoying our day together. Our first visit to Disney with each other...about my 999th otherwise.
We stayed at the Radission resort that we got off of Priceline.com for $44/night. We loved the pool...cool waterslide and waterfall. They had ducks and turtles all around that you could feed.

Happy Birthday Drew & Abby!!!!!

I can still remember the Dr. trying to convince me I was really pregnant with twins...it seems like yesterday. Today it has been seven years since you were born.I love the personalities and interests you are both developing. God has truly blessed me with a double blessing by giving me you two. Abby you are the sweetest, most generous little girl I know. Drew you have an incredible mind that you are always dreaming up schemes with. You make me laugh all the time.


I hope you enjoy your day at Disney.
