Our Weekly Shopping Savings

It was another good week at the grocery store! Sometimes, when I am clipping coupons, I will clip coupons for things that are "luxury" items for us like body wash, facial scrubs, fancier yogurts, ice cream, chips, etc. I clip these types of coupons because coupons are good for a while and luxury items go on sale randomly at different places and at different times. My husband is always telling me to not clip coupons for things we NEVER use and I do adhere to that rule of thumb. However, when I see a really good coupon for something that I want to try in the future, I will just hang onto it. If I use it, great. If I don't use it that is fine too...at least I had it just in case! Recently I purchased a new Clearasil Daily Clear facial scrub that I had never used before. OH. MY. GOODNESS. It is wonderful!! I am so glad that I had the coupons or I probably would have never tried it. 

So, our weekly savings were better than ever this week and I was pretty close to our grocery bill being $80. My husband said he would be impressed if our bill was down to $80 and I was SO close this week. Here are some of my favorite deals this week...

Tops Brand Sour Cream: 2/$3 - I purchased 2.
Luigi's Italian Ice: BOGO
Thomas Bagels: BOGO
Mama Lucia Meatballs: BOGO
Tops Ranch w/Bacon Salad Dressing: BOGO
Kellogg's Pop Tarts: 2 large boxes for $6.
Fresh Express Bagged Salad: 2/$5
YoBaby Yoplait Organic Yogurt: $2.99/4 pk - I had a coupon for $1 off so I only paid $1.99.
Activia Yogurt: $2.99/4 or 6 pk - I had two coupons for $1 off so I paid $1.99 for each 6-pack
Pilsbury Cinnamon Rolls: $2.69/tube - I had three coupons - 2 for $.50 off which my store doubled to $1.00 off and 1 coupon for $1.00 off. I paid $1.69/tube.
Chow Mein Noodle Meals: 10 for $10 - I purchased 4 @ $1 each.
Huggies Little Movers Diapers: FREE FREE FREE! Our store has a diaper club...when you purchase diapers you earn points towards a $20 off coupon good on any diapers. I used that coupon today and saved $19.99 on a box of diapers. WOO. HOO. :) :)

So, here's the total rundown:

Total bill BEFORE discounts/coupons: $143.14

Total bill AFTER discounts/coupons: $88.99

Total saved this trip: $54.95 

I like to keep an eye on Dollar General's weekly ads as well because they can have really good prices on brand name products. This week, they had a sale on their Zest Body Wash and it was priced at $2.75 (normally $3.00). I happened to have 6 coupons for $1.00 off Zest Body wash so I only paid $1.75 per bottle. Their Garnier Fructis shampoos/conditioners were also on sale for $3.00 and I had four coupons for $1.50 off any Garnier Fructis products. So I purchased four at just $1.50 each. Before my coupons, my total was a little over $30. After my coupons, my total was $18.78. Pretty good I would say. 

I also had some pretty neat freebies come in this week...Gevalia Kaffe K-Cup Sample, Garnier Ultra-Lift Targeted Line Smoother w/ $2.00 coupon and a cute Always Tampax Radiant Clutch filled with samples & coupons! I do post about freebies here on my blog so keep your eyes open for those...free is always nice! :)

So, needless to say we had some great savings this week. Each week it is so fun to see the money come off our receipt. I was SO happy to see the total savings we experienced. :) How about you...have you had any good savings from using coupons this week? I would love to hear your stories. :)

NEW McDonald's Premium McWrap Review & Giveaway {4 Winners}

From the time I was little, McDonald's was a huge hit around my house. My parents loved taking us there because it was always reasonably priced and the food was kid-approved. Having 6 children meant that they were always trying to save money here and there and those golden arches were known and loved by each of my siblings and I. In fact, when we used to travel, we could spot the McDonald's sign from miles away and learned to spot them on road signs. So, if we were hungry, we made sure we pointed out where the next McDonald's was located along our route. Now that I have children, we often frequent McDonald's and my children just adore their Chicken McNuggets. My husband is pretty partial to the nuggets as well so they always get the same thing when we visit. Oh yes, and there is also a PlayPlace at a location near us so that makes visiting McDonald's an extra special treat for my little ones. (We won't mention the time my 2 year old went up in the tubes and wouldn't come down so mommy had to crawl up through the maze of tubes and slides to rescue him...yeah...that was an embarrassing moment fun.)

So, when I heard that McDonald's had a new menu item I, of course, was very excited. McDonald's now offers a NEW Premium McWrap! That's right, a healthy wrap that is bursting with freshness. Healthy and McDonald's never seemed to fit in the same sentence for me...until now. Before I tell you all about this McWrap, here is a bit more interesting information about McDonald's!

Since 1955, we’ve been proud to serve the world some of its favorite food. And along the way, we’ve managed not just to live history, but create it:  from drive-thru restaurants to Chicken McNuggets to college credits from Hamburger U and much more. It’s been quite the journey, and we promise this is just the beginning-we’ve got our hearts set on making more history.

I learned something else that I found really interesting when I read about McDonald's history...did you know that the first McDonald's drive thru was created near a military base to serve soldiers who were not permitted to get out of their cars while wearing fatigues? Wow, I never knew that before today! How neat is that?!? Anyway, when I found out that I was going to get to try the all new Premium McWrap, I was very excited.

So, for this review I was sent some coupons to try the McWrap for free and also was sent some extra coupons to give away to you! My coupons arrived the other day and today when I was out running errands with the children, I stopped by my local McDonald's to grab a McWrap for my lunch.

First of all, the McWraps in general are HUGE. They are made with a full-sized tortilla and so they are definitely a meal in themselves. You have probably tried the breakfast burritos from McDonald's but these are waaay bigger than them.

There are three different flavored McWraps that you can choose from and all of them are amazing. You can try the Chicken & Bacon, Sweet Chili Chicken or the Chicken & Ranch. For today's lunch run I chose to try the Chicken & Bacon. Wow. My McWrap had huge strips of crispy chicken, juicy tomatoes, lettuce, strips of bacon, creamy garlic sauce and cheddar jack cheese. It was very tasty and really filling too. Retailing for just under $5, it is definitely a wonderful and healthy lunch option!

The one thing that I absolutely love about the McWrap is that the container is designed to leave you with a way to actually hold your wrap without losing the contents. This is sooo great, especially if you are eating while driving. No messy hands and no filling falling all over your lap. Just like everything else at McDonald's you can "tweak" your wrap to fit your likes...different sauces, crispy or grilled chicken and leaving out anything you may not like.

I have also tried the Chicken & Ranch McWrap and it too was sooo good. When it comes to good food, I think that McDonald's is one of my top favorites. When I was pregnant with Isaac, I craved their double cheeseburgers and their breakfast menu is so yummy...who doesn't love a hot Egg McMuffin every now and then? To find out more about the NEW McWrap, check out McDonald's online and also be sure to visit them on Facebook and also on Twitter!

So, in my opinion...If you are looking to satisfy even the slightest of hunger pangs, check out McDonald's NEW Premium McWraps! They are packed full of yummy ingredients and will be sure to fill you up in no time at all. The three varieties will leave you with choices too and that is always a good thing. :)

Now, I have some coupons to giveaway...four of you will each win three coupons to try out the NEW Premium McWrap for FREE!! Here are your entry options...

Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care Review & Giveaway {3 Winners}

 

Recently, my four year old has become very interested in helping with chores. If I am making a meal in the kitchen, she is right there on a chair wanting to help. If I am cleaning or folding laundry, she wants to do something to help. I sure do appreciate her willingness and the fact that she wants to be a part of everything I do. The other day I was cleaning the bathroom and she wanted to help. So, I set her to work cleaning the toilet and instructed her carefully on how to wipe down all the surfaces and wash her hands after she was done. She did an amazing job and was so proud of herself! After she finished the toilet, I showed her how to clean the sink and again, she did a great job. Someday, I know she will be able to do the job completely by herself but for now, I am going to help her learn by watching and doing small jobs herself.

Since we are talking about cleaning the bathroom, I have yet another Soft Scrub review to share with you all today and we are going to target that least favorite room to clean in your house...the bathroom.  Better yet, we are going to target that piece of porcelain that EVERYONE hates to clean...the potty.

Yep, I am going to introduce you to a brand new product from Soft Scrub that will keep your toilet sparkling and leave your bathroom smelling clean and fresh! Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care is the latest and greatest from Soft Scrub and it is a product that cleans your toilet so you don't have to!!

For this review I was sent Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care in the Alpine Fresh scent to try and see what I thought of it. My first reaction upon opening the box was how fragrant it was. You can really smell the fresh pine scent in this product.

My second reaction was "Oh boy, these look like balls and my children are going to want to play with these!" No joke, my kids LOVE balls and if it wasn't for the plastic casing that these are in, the balls would probably be rolling all over my house right about now.

So, the way this works is you unfold the plastic hanger and place onto the toilet bowl rim. This was where I was not impressed. The hanger system seems flimsy and didn't want to stay in place at first. It doesn't attach well to the rim of my toilet well at all and is not the greatest design. Then, you need to adjust where the hanger sits so the water flows through the balls. This was another problem. No matter where I put it in my toilet, the water didn't seem to really flow through the balls that well. Not sure why, but this just didn't function the way I thought it should. The last concern I had with the Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care is that it looks like a toy. I have 3 small children in the house-one is potty trained and the other is learning. When they see this, they automatically want to touch it and because I don't have my eyes on them 100% of the time, I don't trust them with this at all. Maybe something like this could be designed to fit inside of the toilet tank itself?

Other than those concerns, this soft scrub 4-in-1 toilet care works WONDERFULLY!! My bathroom has never smelled better. There is no odor of urine or other strange smells and the toilet just looks clean. This 4-in-1 Toilet Care cleans your toilet, prevents future buildup, fights toilet ring and freshens for up to 4 weeks! I love having a clean smelling bathroom and this really does the trick. You can find this new product from Soft Scrub at Walmart and it retails for less than $2.00! Also, it comes in a Sapphire Waters scent which does not have a bleach in it.

So, in my opinion...the cleaning and freshening power of Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care is amazing! My bathroom smells so great now that I have this cleaner in my toilet. The design seems cheap and the functionality is a bit off for me but other than that, I love this new product from Soft Scrub. If you have children, my only recommendation is that you use caution as this does appeal to children in looks and you might find them playing in the potty on occasion. :) Just sayin'. Try it out today and tell me what you think...I would love to hear your thoughts!

I have been given 3 coupons for FREE Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care to give away...one for three people! Here are your entry options...

Dial Kids Body & Hair Wash Review & Giveaway {3 Winners}

I think my favorite time of the week is when we have bath time. Each of my children LOVE bath time and as a mommy, I love seeing them get squeaky clean. Isaac is now big enough to sit in the tub and doesn't need anything supporting him anymore. He loves to scoot around and play with all his toys. Hannah is my soaker...she will sit in the tub for hours if I let her. It is hard to get her in and out when we are in a hurry. Jacob is no longer a bather, he LOVES the shower. Go figure. His sister hates water running over her head but Jacob thinks it is a ton of fun to stand under the water. So, typically our bath night goes like this: I get the shower running and Jacob gets in. While he is in the shower, I bathe Isaac. When Isaac is all washed, I let him play and wash Jacob. When the boys are done, Hannah gets her turn. I used to bathe Hannah and Jacob together...but...Hannah started noticing that her and little brother were different in some ways (yeah, that.) and so I had to start bathing them separately. It is totally fine now and I am getting used to the new routine. One thing that I am always looking for is good soap to use for their hair and little bodies. Sometimes, that isn't the easiest thing to do because we have sensitive skin, but I manage to always find great kid's soap for them!

Did you know that Dial has a wonderful Body & Hair Wash product line for kids? I didn't until recently and was so excited to learn about them!! They carry three different products for toddlers ages 2+ and children ages 6+. I have always really appreciated products that are 2-in-1, simply because it means my tub won't be over-run with bottles. These Dial Kids Body & Hair Washes are geared just for kids and I am so thrilled to be able to share them with you today! Before I continue though, here is a bit more about Dial Kids Body and Hair Wash...

Dial is excited to announce its entry into the kids' personal care segment with NEW Dial Kids Body & Hair Wash that offers age-appropriate variants developed to address the specific skin needs of children. Dial Kids Peachy Clean for ages 2+, and Dial Kids Watery Melon for ages 6+. Developed with pediatric dermatologists, Dial introduces specialized formulas for children ages 2-10, helping parents make smart decisions when it comes to kids' perfect skin. The 2-in-1 formulas combine shampoo and body wash for one speedy step!

I have been looking forward to reviewing this new product from Dial because my 4 year old is right at that age where she has outgrown her baby shampoo but is not quite ready for adult shampoo.

So, for this review I was sent the Dial Kids Body and Hair Wash in the Peachy Clean scent. First off, I love the bottle. It is super easy to hold and believe me, I need something like this when I am holding onto my squirmy 11 month old in the tub with one hand and trying to maneuver a shampoo bottle with the other! The cap is an easy to open flip top, which also makes this a great design.

Jacob was my first child to try out this body wash and shampoo. This particular formula is tear-free, which is SO nice. Especially since I am rinsing Jacob's hair in the shower. Sometimes, soap suds fall into his face but he doesn't suffer from irritated eyes when we use this shampoo. Oh, and the smell is amazing too. It is definitely a fresh body wash. Even after his bath, I loved smelling his freshly washed hair...he smelled so clean and shiny!!

I was very impressed with how nicely this shampoo and body wash worked on Hannah's hair too. Her hair is  very long and it gets tangled very easily when I try to brush it out. Well, she had her bath last night and this morning while I was fixing her hair for church, there were NO tangles. Her hair was silky and soft. I didn't have to use any detangler spray and that was a first! This is probably the first time in a long time that she hasn't yelled at me for pulling her hair while combing it.

It's good to know that this Dial Kids Body and Hair Wash is tear free, hypoallergenic, free of artificial dyes and added parabens and Ph balanced. It is clear in color, which assures me of it's dye-free formula. You can find this product at mass retailers and drug stores and it retails for about $4.50. Also, be sure to check out Dial on Facebook and follow them on Twitter too!

So, in my opinion...Dial Kids Body and Hair Wash is a fantastic product for my children! I am definitely going to be purchasing this in the future...mainly because it worked so well on Hannah's hair. Truly, her hair has not been this manageable in a very long time and I LOVE it!! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone...especially parents and care-takers! You will love it too!

I have three coupons for FREE Dial Kids Body and Hair Wash to give away to three of you! Here are your entry options...
