Roman sayings:

This morning Roman walks in my closed bedroom door just as I'm putting on my running bra and says:

Roman:"Hey mom, I have some of those (pointing at my chester's) wanna see em?"
I say "No, that's ok honey"

He proceeds to lift up his shirt and say:"mom, mine are red why are they red?"
I say "I don't know honey it's just the way God made you"
Roman: "Does God have red ones to?"

By this point I'm laughing so hard and trying to shoo him out of my room so I can finish dressing. The innocence of a child sometimes. Note to self start locking bedroom door from said four year old.

Target Deals

Here is what I got at Target this week:

Woohoo Of the two Target's I bought them at only one had all variety's at 2.24 the other store had them at 2.99 so make sure you check the price. For those in the GR area the 54th st. Target was where they were 2.24/box.

Kids Sayings

Roman this morning after getting out of a long hot bath shouts to me:

"Mom, my hands look like Grandma's"

January Totals

Ok so I'll be the first to admit that I'm the lady you probably hate to get behind checking out at Meijer or Target etc. I have piles of coupons literally. I decided that for this year I'm going to keep track of all my savings. I have spread sheets made up for every store that I've gone to this month. With my grocery shopping done for this week I tallied up the results for Jan. I was quite surprised at the numbers I mean I can't say that I love cutting coupons. Snagging something for free or close to free I love so clipping all those coupons is worth it to me. The stores I visited this month are CVS, Walgreens, Target, Aldi, and Meijer. Here's the end results.

Jan. Coupon Total: $282.43 Just between Meijer and Target it was $172.50 WOOHOO that's like free money!!
Jan. oop total (what I spent in cash): $398.86
Jan. Total saving: $ 550.28

The total savings does include any sales along with the coupons and the coupon total is including $50.00 of ecb's from CVS. Still not to bad I was quite pleased. My total cash out of pocket also included the game table we bought and a few birthday gifts. Also a lot of stockpiling like the sobe water and now the free ocean spray juice at Target.

So there you have it. If your ever in line behind me at Meijer I'll turn around and smile at you know I'm very sorry for holding up the line:) You might want to switch lanes however:)

Target Deals

This week at Target you can get Ocean Spray juice for free. It's priced at $1.99 use this $1.00/1 coupon and also the Target coupon here to get it free.

Also don't forget to use up those buddies coupons I have oh about 30 buddies bar soap sitting in my cupboard but hey it's free and it's pretty good soap.

Yoplait yogurt is $.59 each use the Target coupon found here and the coupon found here to get them for $.22 each. The yogurt may even go on sale sometime soon to make the deal even sweeter. Thanx to money saving mom for this deal.

Hockey!!

Last night we had a chance to go see our local "pro" hockey team play. We got free tickets from a friend of mine and the seats were awesome. Below is how close we were I didn't take the picture but we were third row up from the floor so awesome!

I didn't know how Roman would do being confined to a chair for two hours so we told the older boys we'd just play it by ear. Well because it was a Wed. game it wasn't so busy nobody was sitting in front of us at all. All the boys moved down to the front row and Roman had plenty of room to wiggle around it was great. The guy behind us Roman made friends with (imagine that :) and he was friends with the ref's. He ended up getting all the boys a game puck from last nights game they were so excited. It was a great family night we all had a really good time. Best part is Wednesday nights are called winning Wednesday's if the Griffins win you can turn your tickets in for new free tickets to the next winning Wed. game. The Griffins won in overtime so we got 5 more free tickets to the next game in March which my friend said we could keep. Yeah I think we'll be going again:) Guess who is playing Hockey Man right now?

Great Find

Another great find at Target as if free buddies soap, and all you can grab sobe life water aren't enough....:)


I've been wanting to get my boys a game table that's similar to this for awhile without breaking the bank to do it. I had one snatched at a garage sale last summer before I could grab it. Ever since I've been keeping my eye out at thrift stores, garage sales you name it. Target has had this one on clearance for 30% off for around two months now. I keep passing it thinking it might go cheaper. Last night at Target a bunch of toys were 30% off today when I went back they were all marked down 75% off. I promptly went to check "my" table out and it was still only 30% off. I flagged down a Target employee and had him scan it and much to my delight and three little boys it scanned at 75% off as well they just hadn't changed the signs yet. So we came away with this 16 in 1 game table for $32.00. It has pool, foosball, air hockey, basketball, bean bag toss, mini golf, ping pong etc. Lot's of family fun!
