Little Break

Well I guess you could call it a little break, I didn't hit up Wags and CVS on Sunday, I was SOOOO tired! Amanda and I had a garage sale this weekend to sell lots of our baby items, household items and extra stockpile items. Here are some pictures of Day 2. Day 1 was SOOO busy all day that we didn't have time to take pictures. We had a line of about 6-7 people waiting to check out for the first 2 or so hours, we also had about 7 people waiting for us to open at 7am! We each made a pretty penny so it was well worth it! DH also made us the clothing rack! Thanks babe :) We pulled out some more items from our houses for Saturday because we decided that we could part with more. I just wish I took pictures before Friday, it was insane :)

This is Amanda :)

Some tables before we pulled them out

A SMALL portion of the stockpile items we sold!

Early Saturday morning before we pulled the tables out! Thats my DH :)

Walmart

I did get some deals at Walmart though, I also plan to do some shopping either tonight or tomorrow. But here is what Walmart looked like!

Travel Kids colgate 4 @ $0.50 = $2.00 used 9 $.50 Qs = $Free

Kotex lightdays 8 @$1.00 used 8 $1 Qs = $FreeS

Olay BarSoap 2pks 10 @ $2.48 = $24.80 used 10 $2 Q = $4.80

Mac Cheese crackers 4 @ $1.00 = $4 used 2 $1/2 = $2.00

No Nonsense hose 4 @ $1 = $4.00 used 4 $1 Q = $Free

Mayo price matched at Fiesta 2 @ 1.69 = $3.38 used $1/2 Q = $3.38

What to do with the food stockpile?

I am totally copying Amanda here (see her blog on the left) but I think it is good to show some things to do with your deals and stockpiles when regarding food. You can frequently get biscuits for free or close to it, so I always have a crazy amount of them. Here is one recipe that I do often for my kids, and the second is one I copied from Amanda.

Biscuit Pizzas

These are super easy. Just smash out the biscuit to the desired size. Add sauce (I use spaghetti because there is more of it and I can use the rest later, you can use pizza sauce though) then add toppings. I only had cheese tonight, so that went on top. Bake at 350° for about 12 minutes. Sometimes I bake the biscuits for a bit first, then add toppings to make sure it isn't too doughy.

Use plain biscuits for this, don't use butter or flaky. They aren't good that way!





Now, I copied Amanda's recipe for this, but I used scrambled eggs and cheese (I didn't have any breakfast meats) and I put them inside these little biscuit pockets. I plan to make a bunch and freeze them for DH, he can't drink milk in the morning, so these are perfect!

I'm BAAACCCKKKK!

Well I figured that I should get back on the ball :) I have been couponing, just not blogging, shame on me! Well I am back to share and to track my deals :)

First, let me say that I LOVE GARAGE SALES!! Amanda and I will be having our second garage sale in a few weeks. (April 10th and 11th if you are in the area and interested) We sell off all of our extra stockpile to raise money for whatever. This time it is our trip to.... DISNEY WORLD! We will both be taking our families in September, we are more than excited! So here are some pictures of what I have together so far for my part of the sale. I still have to go through more of the house to get things going!








In the middle of the garage you can see a wooden clothing rack. My wonderfully, awesome husband DAVID made these for me! At the last garage sale we had so many clothes that stacking them on the tables just wasn't going to work, so we fixed that problem!!



Ok, some of my deals that I have done in the last few weeks are included in the above pictures (Garnier for instance, my whole laundry basket full..haha) But in the next few pictures are the diaper/wipes deals I have gotten (around .95 cents a pack after caregiver's rebate...woo hoo) And the dove deals that I have gotten this week. There are others, but they are already put away or mixed in with the garage sale stuff!






Also, I had the great idea to get some meat from Sams Club since its a great deal. What I didn't know is that to get the awesome price of $1.73/lb for 91/9 beef you had to buy 80+ lbs! So Amanda, Amanda's Mom and I decided to split it! We each ended up wtih 26.66 lbs for our families. I foodsaved mine into 1lb packs. hopefully this lasts us a while!!!
