My 1st trip for Kmart Super Doubles...

Well I went to kmart today to finally get my layaway out. I havent paid much attention to the super kmart doubles, but a dear coupon friend told me of some free stuff I could get if I did, so i decided to throw some coupons together and give it a try. I was very dissapointed as it was obvious another couponer had been around and cleared a lot of things. There was no single revlon eyeshadows (going to be free) or any revlon color nailpolish (not free but cheap), there was also no revlon tweezers or nail files (free after revlon beauty tool coupon). Someone had cleared out the endust (which I was really looking forward to getting to add to my christmas gift baskets) and there was several other stuff. Leave some for others! geez! But I did get a few stuff. It was not a super kmart so they didnt have a huge grocery section, which i hated as i was so looking forward to getting the free ronzoni and some cheap cascadian farms products. The cascadian farm fries would of been great to fill up my freezer! Ah well.... when we finally get a car in february, I will finally be free to go to any kmart I wish!! lol Here is what I got....



3 pledge were 50c each after $1.50 coupon doubled
3 Dove cream oil bodywash $1.79 after $1.50 coupon doubled (i really needed these)
4 4pks of olay soap bars free after $2 coupon doubled
4 Theraflu warming liquid $1.49 after $2 coupon doubled (great price for flu season!)
2 first aid cloth tape free after $1 coupon doubled
2 first aid non-stick pads free after $1 coupon doubled
2 tic-tac chill's after $1 coupon doubled

I think I did pretty good!

My favorite time of the year!

Its that time again! Christmas Time! I love this season, but it is very stressful! Every year I say Im going to start early and never do but I can say Im done by December 1st! Yayyy! I do have one gift to buy for my christmas work party but that maybe just a gift card so no big stress over that. I put up my tree the day before thanksgiving, heres some pics!...


My Fireplace...


These are all hubbys gifts! Thanks to after thanksgiving sales!


I always like my tree to be in front of the window!


So pretty lit up!


I choose the bow again this year, Im not a fan of a star or a angel, I cant never get it to look right! But I do collect angels lol


A close up of my tree skirt, I love the pattern! Me and my sister-in-law got the same one! lol we also have the same color-scheme for our tree's this year! lol Red & Gold is a classic combination!

Its finally here....

Ok so my birthday gift is finally here, my new freezer! Its a great size and perfect for my stockpile! Its going to be a great help, and I cant wait to shop the sales to fill it up! It looks empty right now! I have been focusing all my extra money on christmas.... Just thought you would like to see some pics!...

Cheap Stockpile Gift Basket

This is my SIL christmas basket...

She had already picked her items out of my stockpile for her basket as I told her I couldnt afford much for christmas...

I couldnt think of any idea's to jazz up the basket so i got creative!

Thought everybody would like to see the pic of her basket I made!
(the basket still has to be gift wrapped in cellophane and a pretty ribbon on top, it also has some stuff underneath the products on top!!)

Cheap Gift Idea for Glade Scented Oil Candle Holders

Ok, so I did the great deal at walmart for the glade scented oil holders only. I had the $2 blinkies and I got a few of the Glade Scented Holiday Candle Holders that were on sale for $2. I wanted to give these as little gifts for the rest of dh family (they usually dont exchange gifts).
So I managed to get the coupons out of the box when i got home, and went back to get more.

But I wanted to include some refills, even with the '$2.00 off 1 holder or 2 refills' coupons and the $2 sale at walmart, It was still coming out as $1 each plus tax....

That may sound cheap to many people but our budget is tight this year and less oop i can get is so helpful.

So I wanted to find a way to get just one candle on the holder and maybe put a coupon in each one so they can buy their own!

Here is how I did it, maybe I will help someone out!

I know dh family will appreciate these and I plan to give them to our mail lady, friends at work, etc.




The many candle holders that I just paid tax for.




The holiday holder with the candle inside.




The refills were $1 each.... I couldnt afford lots of them!




be carefull! and make sure you do it at the right place!




Use the coupon for the holder to get more! replace the candle
holder and remember your candle!! One refill pack has 3 candles
in each! The b2g1f coupon will be a great help as I couldnt
put the whole pack in there!




Make sure you just put little dots on the flaps so the end
has something to hold onto. Add bands carefully!
and dont get glue on your hands! lol


When glue is dry I plan to add one of those pretty mini bows
(maybe in silver) and some ribbon I can get at the dollar store.
Im going to write 'Love Emma & Ken' on the corner with silver
marker....

Im sure they will appreciate my hard work.....
It may seem like a lot of work but worth the less oop!

with 20-30 of them Im glad I get to give this christmas to everbody

Refills for Glade Candle Holders....

I also forgot to mention that I got some Refills for the Glade Candle Holder for $1 each.

The same coupons I used for the holders also said save $2 off any holder or any 2 refills

and they were on sale for $2 so I paid $2 for 2 packs!

So technically I just paid $1 for the refill and I got the holder for free!

What a great gift for christmas!! Just costing $1.00! It is hard to find a pretty card for

that much these days!! Yayyy go me! lol

My freebie finds at Walmart 3

I found these great Halloween treat bags
for 10c each! I thought they were great for
my 2 nieces... Lauren who adores Hannah Montana
and my niece Sarah who loves Barbie for christmas!
And my sister Melissa who loves High School
Musical! The only way you can tell they are halloween
bags.... the barbie bag has a pumpkin on it!
And I know for sure Sarah will be too busy looking
at Barbie! A great alternative to a stocking as a
stocking costs at least $3-$5! this way they can
carry their goodies home!!

My freebie finds at Walmart 2

I found these Hannah Montana Candy Bracelets
on sale from the Halloween Section for 48c!!
I thought they were great for my nieces stocking stuffers
as they are huge Hannah Montana fans and they will
never bother to notice the pumpkin in the corner!!



I found these sprinkles in the Halloween marked
down section. They are still Harvest colors so are
perfect for the cupcakes I make for the children
at Thanksgiving! Just 25c each!







Got 9 Buddie Bars free (97c each) using the $3/3
Johnsons coupon and got 4 Wellpatch's (97c each )
free with the $1/1 any wellpatch!

My freebie finds at Walmart

This is the Glade Holiday Holder!




It includes the holder only! Great for christmas gifts!







I got 13 of these for free! I used 13 $2 coupons,
they were blinkies I found at Kroger! Free!!

To make the deal even sweeter.... there are coupons
inside each candle for $2 off any glade scented candle
holder!! I can get more for free and keep recieving
coupons!! Just make sure you take the coupon out carefull
so you can still use the candles for gifts!!
