Palm Pre and the Elizabethan Insult Generator

March 30, 2010 By tiffany 2 Comments By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

Since we were talking about apps, or I guess I was boring you with that one… My Husband has a new favorite app. Both of us have the new Palm Pre Plus, Paul has gone a little app crazy.

I shared the story of the very useful GPS app on our trip. This one is on the other end of the spectrum, that is of course unless you get trapped in a tractor beam at a Renaissance Festival.

The app you ask? The “Elizabethan Insult Generator”. Oh yes, it does exist. Have you ever been walking down the street and had this directed at you? “ Thou be an errant bat-fowling fustilarian” and been stumped? You were just called an aimless, bird catching scoundrel. Who knew?

Have you been driving down the street minding your own business and heard “Thou art a jarring unchin-snouted flirt-gill? You have just been told that you are a truly rasping, urchin- beaked loose woman. Worry no more, if you are ever stuck in that tractor beam not only will you be able to translate the insult, you can let one fly back at them! Don’t think we haven’t been taking advantage of this one. What else is there to do when you have 6 kids, one on the way and your wife gets rid of the cable…. torture her, of course!

P.S. Thank you for all the concerned emails about the Chippendale Dancer of the month app that he (my caring husband) downloaded on my phone. Yes, I had to take my phone into the Verizon store and have the nice young man at the counter remove it from my phone. Yes, I drug all 6 kids in with me when I did it and my VERY pregnant self. I was waiting for the Verizon guy to ask me the standard, “you know how this happens right?” pointing at the kids, but he didn’t… then again, he was REMOVING a Chippendale Dancer of the month app from my phone. No comments were needed.

The Fine Print: Verizon provided me with my Palm Pre and one month of service.

Toys R Us Awesome deal!

March 29, 2010 By tiffany 2 Comments By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

A HUGE thanks to reader Lora (check out her etsy shop!) for this great tip at Toys R Us!

I wanted to make sure you knew about the Toys R Us deal going on right now. I was there (in Phoenix, AZ) this morning and their Rose Petal Cottage series is currently marked 70% off of their clearance prices. So I scored the cottage (reg price $100) for $14.99, the Cherry Blossom Market (reg $70) for $10.49. They had about 20 Markets left at the store, and I bought 4 of them, so I could use them for birthday parties for my daughters’ friends, etc. I’ve been wanting to buy these for at least a year, and am glad I waited until today.

I’ve been a bargain-hunter for a while and this is one of the best deals I’ve found. I hope you find this to be helpful. (Their website only shows a few of the smaller items left.)

** I just ran up to my Toys R Us at The Woodlands mall and scored big!! They had the Market down to $10.45 from $59.99 and I got a bunch of the food priced at $5 a box it was $16.99! SUPER DEAL! They also had the Castle regular price $199 marked at $30. There were 2 left, I don’t have room for it but some little girl would love it!

My Kroger Trip!

March 29, 2010 By tiffany Leave a Comment By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

After going to Walgreens with 3 little kids I thought I would torture them a little more and drag them through Kroger with out a plan, that means taking a longer time and me looking through my coupon binder a lot!

What the heck is up with the picture??? Sorry if you can’t see it! I am not sure why it is showing up for some and not others…

Anyway, My total was $81.46, I saved $75.02 so about half. Not bad for no plan!

Don’t forget to use your $.50 off a snickers coupon, they expire the 31st. It makes 2 free at Kroger.

Plus, the lucnchables were free with coupon and the new yoplait Greek yogurts were only $.14 with coupon! Bugles are $.50 with coupon.

** Also, I want to say “Hi!” to the reader I met in the store ( I said your name all the way home so I would remember it and sure enough when I got here I forgot!! I am Sorry!) I love meeting people saving money!

Menu Plan Monday

March 29, 2010 By tiffany 2 Comments By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

I am telling you, spring sports season always kills us on meal plans. Especially because we have had so much rain, the kids games and practices have been rescheduled so many times and at the last minute that we are all over the place at dinner time. I think we have had sandwiches more this spring than the entire rest of the year combined!

Friday I made a HUGE batch of homemade granola and threw in everything but the kitchen sink as far as freeze dried fruits and nuts. I have been eating that almost 2-3 times a day since. It is so easy to make and so good! You can see the recipe HERE. I more than tripled it.

Monday Dinner:
Pork Chops, salad and fruit.

Tuesday Dinner: (girls have games… boys have scouts)
Something quick, I am thinking Harvest soup with Rhodes rolls.

Wednesday: (again, baseball and softball)
Taco TVP’s (husband’s speciality) and fruit.

Thursday Dinner: (son headed out for scout camping, girls games)
Pizza, I am switching, we usually have it on Friday’s but it’s my sons favorite and he won’t be here Friday! Also, I am craving fruit like a mad woman so I am sure we will have a fruit salad also!

Friday Dinner:
I am going to see what you guys are having and go from there!

What are you having this week?

HOT Walgreens deals!

March 29, 2010 By tiffany 1 Comment By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

The deals are hot at Walgreens this week. There’s a few money makers. In general I try to use moneymaker deals to buy the items that cost me money like: toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags or diapers. Here are a few scenarios to get this stuff for cheap:

First Transaction

Dove Shampoo $4

Dulcolax $10

Use $1.50/1 Dove coupon from 3/28 RP insert

Use $4/1 Dulcolax Product Coupon

Pay $8.50 plus tax out of pocket and earn one $4RR and one $10RR back

Second Transaction

Dove Conditioner $4 (since it is rolling)

Viva Paper towels $5.99

Ultra Tuff Trashbags $3.99

Dentex Floss $2

Walgreens Multivitamin $3

Use $1.50/1 Dove coupon from 3/28 RP insert

Use $1/1 DenTek Floss Pick or Floss 1/17/2010 SS Insert (exp 3/31/2010)

Use $0.40/1 Viva paper towel coupon from 2/21 SS insert

Use $10 Dulcolax RR

Use $4 Dove RR

Pay $2.08 plus tax out of pocket and get back $4 RR from dove $2RR from dentek and $3 RR from Walgreens vitamins

Now if you wanted to keep on going you could:

Third Transaction

Buy one Dulcolax $10

Buy one Dove Hair scare product $4

Buy four Easter tumblers $0.12 each after in ad coupon (fillers)

Use $1.50/1 Dove coupon from 3/28 RP insert

Use $4/1 Dulcolax Product Coupon

Use $4 dove RR

Use $3 Walgreens vitamin RR

Use $2 Dentek RR

Pay $0.00 plus tax out of pocket and get back $14 in RRs

Then you could re-do transaction #2 (replace the trash bags and Viva paper towels with two Cottonelles) and use your overage to get toilet paper this time. What do you think? What are your plans for this week?

Note: These scenarios will only work while the Dove RR is rolling.

Thanks Common Sense with Money!
