Pantry Surprise 10/5/12

I think my 6 year old is sending me subliminal messages. Let me explain.

I always go grocery shopping on Fridays while we're at my parents' house. They watch the kids while I head to the store. (Can you say blessed???) That 1-2 hours is my me-time for the entire week. That's not the only reason I choose to go by myself though. Whenever  the whole family goes shopping together, it takes much longer and we end up spending much more money. 

I'll let you in on a not-so-secret secret, I like to save money. I know, shocker, right? So, the idea of spending more money than I need to is not my idea of a good time. (That's partly why we enjoy DIY so much.) And the kids know this, of course. They know how important it is to buy things on sale. And they especially know about my relationship with coupons (i.e. #8.)  Me + Coupons = Love


So, there I was, minding my own business, compiling my list for the store today. And what did I find???

A Lego piece in with my coupons!

He must figure that the more I see Legos with coupons, the more I'll start to associate them with saving money. And the more I recognize them as saving money, the more likely I'll be to start buying them regularly. Pretty tricky, I tell ya.

Subliminal messages at its finest.


Hmm, I wonder if it would work if I tried keeping my cleaning supplies in his room . . .

$10 Vitacost Credit

I am a big bargain shopper.

I am a couponer.

I am very frugal.

Pretty much, I just love to save money any which way I can! That's why I was so happy to save $10 from Vitacost! I had been wanting to purchase tea tree oil for cleaning and just kept putting it off. When I heard about the $10 credit for new members, I knew exactly what I'd buy with it!

Vitacost sells nearly 2,000 of the top, most-trusted natural brands, diet foods, healthy living essentials, the very best nutritional supplements, whole foods and sports nutrition up. They offer over 3,000 products that help you care for yourself, your family, your pets and your home. Everything is discounted up to 50% off the retail price! Shipping is FREE on orders totaling $49 or more and just a small, flat-rate fee of $4.99 for lesser ones.


My order came quickly and was well-packaged. I love having my tea tree oil and the kids love the gummy vitamins I bought for them. I definitely want to get some lavender oil with my next order and some of the many baby items. There is just so much! And when you click on my link and save $10, I save $10 too. How cool is that?

 

 

So, head over to Vitacost and look around. I guarantee you'll find something you want!
