Looks like we are scheduled to get 3 inserts in the paper tomorrow: a Smart Source, a Red Plum and a Procter & Gamble insert. Looks like a week where you may want to pick up an extra newspaper or two!

$5/$25 Build-A-Bear coupon!


If you have a little one that loves Build-A-Bear then you need to hurry over here to print a coupon for $5 off a $25 or more purchase. You could use this coupon to buy a new animal or some clothing and accessories for one that is already a member of your family!

Remember, the holidays are creeping up on us and now is a great time to get started or keep working on getting your holiday shopping done ahead of time!

$1/1 Tazo Tea printable coupon


Tazo Tea has a $1/1 printable coupon available right now. Target also has a store coupon for $.75/1 Tazo Tea, so you could stack them both to score a great deal on this tea! I'm not sure of exact pricing on this tea, so if you find out let us know!

Update on my September Goal...


If you've been reading my blog then you know that my challenge for September for my family was to eat out 2 times or less the whole month - yikes that is a lot of cooking for me! Well I'm happy to report that through today, we've eaten out one time - WOO HOO! I think I can make it another week with only eating out one more time.

I have to say that I really enjoy going out to eat since there is no cooking or cleaning required on my part, but I hate how much it costs us! If I can only stick with this plan and keep my family from eating out, our waistlines should get smaller and our wallets will get fatter!

How is your September goal coming along?

Savvy Source - another great daily deal site!


Similar to Groupon, Eversave, Mamapedia and Weekly Plus - Savvy Source is another great daily deal site to snag some great deals on. Savvy Source is a new site that the deals will be more geared to parents.

The deal right now is $10 for a family pass to the Denver Firefighters Museum - a value of $20. You have until March 23rd, 2011 to use your tickets!
