Happy 4th of July!!

By 3 Comments By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

The start of the parade it is only 90 degrees at this point. Gotta love Texas!
This girl can really sell it! She will have twice the candy as the rest of the kids by the time it is done.
Now, this is what you look like at the end of the parade when it is 102 degrees with a heat index of 112 and it is only 10:30am. I think the baby has melted…

Have a safe and Happy 4th!
Love, The Ivanovsky’s

Couponing 101 – Why I stockpile

By 6 Comments By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

To make my budget of $400 a month on groceries a month for the 8 of us I have to “stockpile” my groceries. I find a super deal and then buy not one or two, but as many as I can at the super deal price. This requires me to be organized and use my many coupons from the internet, mailers, and Sunday papers. I create my own warehouse in my house or the ‘Ivanovsky mini mart’, and I no longer depend on the store to give me a great price. I can wait it out, until another super deal comes along. I personally base my stash on a 6 month to 1 year supply. If anything is free or at least 80% off I purchase as many as I can or have coupons for. Then I rotate through all the items through the year and never purchase them anywhere close to full price. I don’t think I have paid for a condiment in 12 mo! This also applies to all my meat, and some dairy that I can freeze. I have two refrigerators that I use, but I lost my big deep freeze in the hurricane. Darn.

Now, it isn’t always pretty. The above picture is shelving that I had to set up in my bedroom to handle the ‘overflow’ from all the closets! I live in a small house with no basement and in the south where it is too hot to store anything in the garage. My room has always been my sanctuary, and this ugly monster has taken some getting used to. BUT, it is worth it to ME to stay within my $400 budget, and NEVER pay full price for ANYTHING.
This is my coat closet…. if you actually wear a coat and come to my house it will get laid on my bed. The vacuum is also stored in the office. Every little space counts!
These are some of the items that I can store in the garage. I rarely ever have an emergency trip to the grocery store. I always have every item on hand that I will need. This helps me tremendously with last minute dinners and spontaneously trying a new recipe. It also keeps my costs down by not having to call the husband to pick stuff up on his way home 🙂


Another key to stockpiling is keeping track — in your head, in a notepad, on your iPhone, wherever — of the cheapest prices ever available for things you use regularly. That’s how you know WHEN to stock up.

Keeping a price book, either physical or mental, also saves you time at the store. How? Before I started tracking prices, I had to compare every single product in a category to figure out which was the best deal. I’d be squatting down and stretching high, calculating the cost per ounce of every brand of cereal to figure out which one was the best price. Nowadays, I know that anytime I can get cereal for under $1 a box, if it’s a cereal we like and don’t have too much of already, I just buy as many as I can. 

Do you stockpile? Do you have any tips?

P.S. I will answer Hilori’s question… $400 is just food, I budget another $100 for any toiletries, diaper, wipes, cleaning, paper products, batteries… etc. But, since these items are easier to get free than food, I usually have money left over and I add it to either my food budget or into my tin can for the bosch mixer I want! 🙂

Melted chocolate and hair do not taste good.

See, it all starts good, he has no idea what is coming. 

He is starting to figure it out. He is getting very worried.

Seriously, how could I?? 

Now I am going to have to pull out the big guns. He won’t sit still, and at 17mo. yelling and bribing aren’t an option. I can’t wait for those days!

O.K. now that he has chocolate, I can cut around the ears… 
 This is where it falls apart! There is hair everywhere and 
it is now stuck all over his face and hands. 
Someone call the health department.

Just keep unwrapping the candy, just keep unwrapping the candy.

This is really the embarrassing picture, baby in a diaper covered in hair and melted chocolate, wrappers everywhere, sitting on a table. Wow, and people pay to have this done in a nice salon, my kids are really suffering, they will never know!

See, things are getting better. Now comes the bath and a new baby!

Am I the only Mean Mom who cuts their kids hair at home?? 
Will they ever forgive me??

CVS: Milk for $0.99 (possible hidden deal)

By 1 Comment By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

From Crystal:

Megan just emailed me to say she had gone to her CVS this morning to pick up milk since it was on sale for $1.99. She bought three gallons and when she checked out, she received $3 ECBs for buying the milk. There is an Oreos and milk ECB deal running this week so it looks like it might be possible that the ECBs were triggered because of this–only she didn’t buy any Oreos! Or triggered by the Dean’s milk deal buy 3 get one free….

If you need three gallons of milk and you have a CVS nearby, you might consider stopping in there to buy your milk to see if it generates $3 ECBs, too. I can’t guarantee that it will, but it’s worth a shot. Megan has more details posted here.

If you try it, let us know if it works for you, too.

By the way, you can freeze milk! I do it all the time when I get a really good deal!

CVS: Post Trail Mix Crunch money-maker next week–print your coupons now!

By 2 Comments By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

Post

Next week, there will be a money-making deal on Post Trail Mix Crunch cereal at CVS if you have the $2/1 coupons here. Since it’s rare that you land a money-making deal on cereal and since the deals at CVS have been a little dry recently, I’m guessing this will be hot item. So, just in case the print limit has been reached before next week and the coupons are no longer available to print, you’ll want to go ahead and print them now.

Here’s how the deal breaks down:

Buy 3 Post Trail Mix Crunch cereals (on sale 3 for $10), Get a $5 ECB (Limit 1)
Use 3 $2/1 Post Trail Mix Crunch coupons–you should be able to print at least 3 per computer
Get 3 boxes of cereal free plus $1 overage after coupons and ECBs

Please remember that this deal is not good until next week. Print and hang onto your coupons until then!
