$17 shopping trip

All of this for $17 at Harris Teeter!!

Diaper Deal

If you have kids in diapers this might be of interest to you. Last Sunday there were Huggies coupons in the Smart Source insert of the newpaper. Walgreens has their Huggies on sale for $8.99, use the coupon makes them $6.99 and when the receipt prints you'll get a $2.00 off your next purchase so you can do it all over again or use the $2.00 on anything else in the store. The pull-ups and over night big kid pants are on sale too!

One stop shopping- UGH!!!

If you are all about one stop shopping at our local Super Center then then couponing might not be your thing. I personally avoid that place like the plague for many reasons. One reason is that I leave there with very little and spend way too much! Right after Christmas, about a month ago, I went there and spent $113 on a few bags of stuff....laundry soap, paper products, shampoo, etc. but NO groceries. In the past I had saved my trip to this store for those things and got my groceries at Food Lion mainly. Food Lion is very close to my house and they offer weekly deals on certain things that I buy alot of (yogurt, cheese, kid food). Well after that trip to the "super center" my neice that was in town saw what I got for over a hundred dollars and said "NEVER AGAIN!". She showed me a few websites (southernsavers.com and thekrazycouponlady.com) and I was hooked. She made me a little trial shopping list from Lowes Food and Harris Teeter and off I went when I got off work one night. Late at night was great b/c the stores were practically empty. I went in and went out in no time!!! I spent $7.06 at both stores and got the following...
4 boxes of mac n cheese
6 bags of rice mix
3 bags of white rice
1 3-pack of yeast
2 toothbrushes
2 scotch tape
1 package pancake mix
1 large coffee mate creamer
4 boxes of muellers pasta
1 mustard
1 edge shaving cream
1 downy dryer sheets

So, yes those are some pretty random things and I did stop at two stores BUT for $7.06 seriously??!! WHY NOT!! That is stuff that I will use!! I went in and out of those two stores quicker than I have ever left the "super center"!!!
I'm hooked. Seriously!

Blog changes---Eastern NC DEALS!!!

Ok, so this started out as a blog about my kids which it will continue to be but I'm adding deals that I find in and around Carteret County. I'm talking GOOD deals on any and everything!!! I think I'll also add deals for area restaurants and whatever other deals we come across. I'll be referring to my two favorite coupon websites: southernsavers.com and thekrazycouponlady.com I'm going to need some help though so please feel free to reply with any deals you find too. I'm looking for just Carteret County and surrounding counties only please.

So let me start off with Harris Teeter in Morehead!!! From Wednesday, January 26 until Tuesday, February 1 they are offering TRIPLE coupons up to .99 This means if you have a .50 off coupon you actually get $1.50 off that item. If you aren't already getting the Smartsource and Redplum inserts out of the Sunday paper--START NOW!! (out of the New Bern Sun Journal that is only $1 on Sunday)

I AM A RUNNER

If I keep saying I AM A RUNNER then maybe I'll actually beieve myself.

OK, My baby is now 2 years old. I can no longer blame her or the boys for my butt looking the way it does. I, me, myself, Stephanie must do something about this problem that I have developed. I have used every excuse imaginable so it's time to stop and take action. Sooo, Mel talked me into running, RUNNING a 5K in May. I paid the 32 bucks and now it's official. I must be ready or I will be defeated, by my own self. I have attempted the couch to 5k plan before and didn't finish. This time, I WILL FINISH! I did day 2 of week 2 today. Only 7 weeks to go...sheesh. Good news is that I didn't die on the treadmill today. Need to hit the pavement. More to come on that.
