Frugal Deals at Walgreens with Groupon

July 24, 2017 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Did you know Groupon has online coupon codes? I did not realize this until recently when I was searching for an online coupon code for Walgreens. Walgreens is my go to place to have pictures printed and/or picture crafts. One of the main reasons I love using Walgreens is you can order and have someone else pick up the finished product.

L loves to design and draw on the computer. She wanted to surprise her BFF with a gift. Her creativity sparked a beautiful image. We uploaded to Walgreens, searched Groupon for a coupon code, selected the Walgreens closest to their house, and submitted payment. Once the photo project was completed at Walgreens, an email was sent to alert us the artwork was ready for pickup.

Isn’t it beautiful and so creative? Needless to say, L’s BFF absolutely loved the artwork.

Walgreens has great products to put memories into keepsake items. Their Groupon Coupon page always has coupon codes so you do not have to pay full price for the items. My rule of thumb is to never hit submit until I have checked for an online coupon code. The items make great presents and you can save on delivery charges by sending the product to the nearest Walgreens of your special recipient.

Buy In Bulk With Walmart’s #StockUpSave Event!

April 14, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

We love to buy in bulk. My husband wants us to have plenty of items in our storage closet at all times so he will not have to make any frantic runs to the store. April is the time to stock up on many of your must-have household products at your local Walmart. Don’t like to go out shopping? This is no problem as you can shop online.

Since I knew we were running low on most of these products, I had my husband and the girls meet me at Walmart after work. My list was made, my coupons printed, and the mission was started. The entire family was in on this mission to find the great deals and match up the coupons.

We had great family time shopping, As you are well aware, spring is in the air which means full on spring time cleaning mode. Why not go ahead and stock up on all your household needs while you are cleaning? It makes sense (literally and monetary) and saves you time as you will not be making multiple store trips.

You can pair up these great savings at Walmart with coupons and using the ibotta app. As I made my list, I went on coupons.com to do a search for coupons. Can you believe I was able to find a coupon for almost every product I bought?!

My total came to $76.25 before coupons. My total after coupons was $76.00. Great deal and our supply “magic” closet is stocked! You may ask why we call the closet the “magic” closet. Our girls name the closet this because if we are looking for something specific, we check the supply closet. The particular item always “magically” appears. It’s great!

As you can see, the April Stock Up & Save Event is full of the top brands like Tide, Bounty, Pampers, Venus, Gillette, and more. When you stock up to get everyday essentials for less, you won’t run out when you need something most. So, go ahead and make your list, then travel to your local Walmart. Don’t forget, you can also head to www.stockupsave.com to order.

If you’re afraid of missing out on the event, you can “attend” the April Stock Up & Save Event on Facebook to learn more information and get reminders throughout the month.

Transitioning to Work Fashion

January 26, 2014 by Jennifer 2 Comments

As I have transitioned into the work out of the home mom role, my fashion skills needed to be updated. Recently, they sent out an email at work that enforced the work dress code. This meant, no more wearing whatever jeans you pleased. If you did choose to wear jeans, it needed to be dark blue dress jeans. I needed an excuse to have more fashion in my life. My wardrobe didn’t include too many fashion must-haves but I am slowly changing this as I search the clearance sales and thrift shop sales.

I need to use my DSLR camera in the future. Made a mental note. Here are three of the outfits that I wore last week to work.

1. The jean skirt and the brown corduroy skirt are both J.Jill designs and came from Goodwill at the low rate of $3.75.

2. The “Be Amazing” sweater came from Old Navy clearance for $7.

3. The blue and white striped shirt and blue cardigan came from Belk’s clearance for $4 and $6 respectively.

4. The dress on the end came from Old Navy clearance for $11. I added the black belt that I had here at home and borrowed M’s cowl scarf.

How am I doing with my fashion? My husband is loving all the new outfits that I am coming up with which makes me smile and have butterflies in my stomach again. It is really so much fun to see how I can still be fashionable yet spend little money. Stay tuned for more frugal fashion finds!
