Babble and a Contest

2013-01-28T20:44:00.002-08:00

Okay, so it's been awhile since my last blog post. I have still been couponing, saving, and hunting for deals. I have also been working from home with 2 companies, so it has kept me busy.

I was reading an article on Ways to Make Money Online from Mrs January. It definitely got me thinking, as I follow most of the ways already.

I am currently a Certified Consultant for Scentsy and an Independent Consultant for Epicure, soon to be a Senior Consultant. I love both companies, and have made great progress with both.

I love both companies because of the support, products, high commissions, and rapid advancement. They allow me to meet other people, try new products, and stay at home with my son, while taking in an income every month!

You can view my Scentsy site by clicking here. On the site, it shows all of the products available, current specials, and sales. If you are interested in ordering or you want to sign up as a rep, please email me!

My Epicure site is here. The same goes for Epicure--it shows all of the products, sales, recipes, and how to sign up to be a rep. Until the end of January, it is $50 off to sign up for Epicure!

I was hesitant at first, but if you put a little work into it, and use your current network of friends and family, you'll be advancing in no time!

And, as for the contest.... I am giving away 2 Epicure prize packs and 2 Scentsy prize packs. All you have to do is comment on the link AND share the facebook post for this blog post on my facebook page! Winners will be randomly chosen and notified on Feb. 3!!! Good luck!

Happy saving y'all!

All set for BBQ season....and then some...

2012-04-18T23:10:00.000-07:00

We are now the proud owners of 58 bottles of Bullseye BBQ sauce. Yes, 58. I know what is running through your heads right now... That horrible "hoarder" word. Not true. We BBQ for most of the summer, which means alot of sauce will be used. Also, we usually have 3-4 large events where a fair amount of people come over for said BBQ. Also, family, friends and neighbours enjoy it too. And with the BOGO Free coupons, and the 3/$4.98 sale at Sobeys, you can't go wrong with $0.83 per bottle, when stores have charged upwards of $4.00 per bottle... Also picked up 24 Shiriff Dr. Oetker Pudding/Pie Filling mixes, 20 Mousses, 4 Creme Caramel, and 8 Mug Cake mixes. They come in handy for a quick dessert!

Am off to Walmart to get more of the Resolve Laundry Stain Remover tomorrow. It works out free with the $2 insert coupons from the weekend, and with all that BBQ sauce future spillage, we will definitely need it!

What deals have you been shopping for lately? I am on the hunt lately for toilet paper and paper towels! Will post more tomorrow when the sales flyers come! Happy clipping y'all!

April 17, 2012-What's Happening

2012-04-17T09:20:00.000-07:00

Am off to Shoppers Drug Mart today for their bonus 20x the Shoppers Optimum points event! Planning to pick up milk, toilet paper, Lady Speed Stick antiperspirant, Depends for my Grandma, Mission Impossible 4 Bluray, and some other odds and ends. Actually have quite a few things to pick up, so the hubby is coming to help--I'm sure he's amused! Just love my points, that's all!

With the BOGO free coupon from Websaver, or with the $0.50 off coupons found on tearpads in store, you can get Dr. Oetker Shirriff Mousse at Sobeys for $0.50. Not a bad deal! Assorted varieties available. Picked up a stash, as they are good to have on hand for a quick sweet treat!

Off to take Liam to school, then drag the hubby to Shoppers Drug Mart! Happy clipping and saving y'all!

April 15, 2012--What's Happening

2012-04-15T15:09:00.000-07:00

A few good deals this week, haven't checked out all the flyers yet.

Staples has Lexar Class 10 Memory cards on sale this week. Class 10 is amazing for high quality video capture! The 8GB is on for $9.99, the 16GB is on for $14.99 and the 32GB is on for $24.99. Amazing prices, especially if you bring in the ad (printed online or paper copy) to BestBuy and price match. They will also give you 10% of the difference in price off your bill, and if you are a reward zone member, then you can collect points! I picked up a 16GB one for the hubby for his new camera---maybe that will get him working on my videos!

With the amount of BOGO Free coupons out there for Bullseye BBQ sauce, it's best to find the lowest price and stock up. There were coupons in this weekends Smartsource insert, as well as online on the Smartsource Website

Sobey's has their Bullseye BBQ sauce on for 3/$4.98, or $1.66 per bottle. You have to buy 3 bottles to get the sale price, but if you use 3 of the coupons, you can get 6 bottles for $4.98, or $0.83 bottle. With a price like that, you will want to BBQ every day!

There are a few $1.50 off Bluewater products out there, and if you have one, head to Sobey's. This week, they have assorted varieties, including the Simply Bake, on for $4.98. After coupon, it is $3.48, and you also get a free 1kg bag of Signal (store brand) frozen veggies (assorted varieties). Not too bad!

Will keep y'all posted if I see anything more. Looking to do a mass coupon trade event in the next few weeks. Will keep you posted!

Deals & Steals--How I saved $280 on bedding...

2012-04-06T23:46:00.000-07:00

Have been doing a few shopping trips this past week, trying to work out my grocery budget and replenish stock. I am always on the hunt for insane bargains--with or without coupons.

Superstore is usually my go-to for clearance items, as you know from a trip I did last year. I went there with a list, a few coupons, and was planning on getting in and out fairly quickly. Did a wander, and found an amazing deal!

I bought 4 of these queen sized bedding sets. The staff member working in that section advised me that they are a final sale, as some of them are incomplete. Didn't put me off, as I wanted them for the duvets. The sets were all complete, which included a queen sized duvet, 2 pillow shams, a bed skirt, and 3 throw pillows. Regular price for each set? $80. I paid? $7.94. Making that $320 worth of bedding for a mere $31.76!!! Over 90% savings!

Safeway Trip #1

I tend to find some great deals at Safeway. Whether it be with coupons, or sales, or clearance, there is always something. On this trip, I spent $56.03, but saved $66.67! A 55% savings! The trip included:
-Hormel Bacon Bits $3.98 (Sale ) -$0.50 Tearpad = $3.48
-Nesquik Syrup $6.79 -$1 Printable WUB 4L milk =$5.79
-11x Baby Food $9.79
-5lb Robin Hood Flour $4.99 (sale price)-$1 tearpad =$3.99
-4x Kraft Dressing $14.64 -- BOGO sale =$7.32
-2x Red Rose Tea 144pk $9.98 (sale) - BOGO websaver coupon= $4.99 (Awesome deal!!!)
-2x Sunny Delight $9.16 - FPCx2 =FREE!! (Paid deposits)
-4x Cheecha Snacks $10.00 total (sale)-FPCx4=$FREE
-6x Energy Drinks $19.74 -B2G1 free sale =$13.16
-Minigo Yogurt $3.36 (sale) - $0.50 mailout coupon=$2.86 + $0.75 coupon for next time!
-4L 2% milk $4.69 (helped save $1 off Nesquik)
-Softsoap Body Wash $3.99 (sale) - $1 magazine coupon =$2.99

Safeway Trip #2--clearance!!!

-4x Huggies $64.00 (sale price) -50% clearance stickers =$32.00
-Huge Stuffed Pork Roast $22.00 - 50% clearance sticker =$11.00
Total paid: $44.55 Total saved: $60.60 with club card and clearance! 59% savings!

And the pull ups are only used on an as needed basis, so they will last quite awhile. The hubby was super excited about the roast---the thing is huge! Definitely a treat for us!

So, this week has been great! I saved about $480 total, and got some much needed items off of my grocery list. And kept my money where it belongs--in my pocket!

Be sure to check out Calgary CityTV Breakfast Television this Monday at 7:52am to catch me live!And keep an eye out here and on Facebook for some amazing giveaways coming soon! Happy clipping!

Update to London Drugs Couponing Policy

2012-03-22T18:35:00.000-07:00

I received an email today from the head of public relations for London Drugs. They have updated their coupon policy again, and put heavier restrictions on it, due to couponers abusing the policy. Please see their updated information by clicking here!

You can NOT stack SC Johnson coupons any more, and they will NOT allow you to pre-order. Please be respectful of this change in the policy!

~Melissa~

More Donations and Updates

2012-03-17T23:23:00.001-07:00

Definitely paid it forward today, when I visited the Crowfoot Safeway. Safeway, in conjunction with CTV Calgary, was holding a food drive called "Friends Helping Friends", with all donations going to the Calgary Food Bank. I went through my stockpile and filled box after box of food items: juice boxes, pasta, canned beans and tomatoes, juice jugs, peanut butter, jam, and more... Ended up overflowing a shopping cart with product that had a retail value of over $650. I felt amazing! I figure if I have gotten the product for free or close to free, and have extra, why not?!

Did some research on their website as well. Besides food donations, they are looking for Birthday Kits and other Fun Donations, to help out with the families that come through. Please take a look at these---it's a really neat way to donate something special! As well, their website lists items that they take, including hygiene products, diapers, etc., as well as drop off locations.

So, try to pay it forward. Even if it's dropping a can of soup off in a food bank bin once a week...

Until next time, happy clipping! There will be another giveaway coming soon, along with big news! Keep your eyes peeled!

Burrito Madness!

2012-03-15T00:11:00.001-07:00

Have been busy in the kitchen the past couple of days, prepping some freezer meals. Made a batch of Breakfast Burritos and a batch of Smothered Burritos. It's always great to have meals set aside in the freezer for hectic dinner time rushes or late mornings! The recipes are below, and they double and triple quite easily!

Breakfast Burritos
2 tsp. oil
12 eggs
2 cups cheddar or monterey jack cheese, shredded
1 cup of chopped onions and red peppers
1/2 cup milk
salt and pepper to taste
12 medium flour tortillas
salsa

In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, salt and pepper.

Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook onions and peppers until they start to get soft, and add egg mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until cooked through.

If tortilla shells are not soft and pliable, heat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.

Place about 1/2 cup egg mixture into each tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese and top with some salsa. Roll them up burrito style.

Wrap each tortilla in tin foil, and stack in large ziploc freezer bags. Freeze for up to one month.

To cook, bake in foil at 350F for 10-15 minutes.

************************

Smothered Burritos

Filling:

2 lbs. lean ground beef

1/2 cup chopped onion

3 cups low-fat cottage cheese

2 cups refried beans

2-3 4oz. tins diced green chiles

1 1/2 tsp. chili powder

1/2 tsp. cumin

salt and pepper to taste

Sauce:

2-15 oz. cans tomato sauce

4 tsp. chili powder

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

2 tsp. ground cumin

1-4 oz. tin diced green chiles

12 large flour tortillas

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Brown the ground beef with the onions and drain off excess fat. Add the remaining filling ingredients and heat through.

Divide the mixture evenly among the tortillas. Roll up and place in 13X9X2-inch baking dishes (tinfoil disposables) treated with nonstick cooking spray. Mix the sauce ingredients and pour over burritos. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover with foil, label and freeze.

To serve, thaw the burritos. Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 40 minutes, or until heated and the cheese is melted.

Makes 12 servings.

************************

Hope you enjoy guys! They are super tasty and easy to prepare! Until next time all, happy clipping and cooking!

Taking It Too Far & Another Haul

2011-11-29T22:42:00.000-08:00

Alot of you know that I have been asked to host two seminars at The Calgary Woman's Show in April. This is an amazing opportunity, and I am super excited about it. Nervous but excited. It has also made me really think about why I use coupons, and why others use coupons. I, like many others, really enjoy the TLC show, Extreme Couponing. Don't get me wrong, it is amazing what they can do in the states. It is really amazing when they feature the ones that donate it all to charity---that is fantastic. That's what some of this should be about. We do not need 1000 rolls of paper towels, or hundreds of tubes of toothpaste--the stuff expires. But, maintaining a manageable stockpile that can support your family is great. In our case, we have a rather large stockpile. I have used/saved almost $10,000 this year with coupons, and I have donated at least half of that to various charities, neighbours, family and friends. Yes, I do keep large quantities of items that we use alot of--paper towels, toilet paper, juice boxes, canned goods, dry pasta, rice, etc.

What I am trying to get across to everyone that is "extreme couponing". Use coupons whenever possible, save money whenever possible, and try to create a manageable stockpile. Enough that would last your family 1 year is reasonable. Product does expire unfortunately, toothpaste goes rancid, pasta sauce can turn on ya too... And donate your excess!!

On a happier note.... did 2 recent shopping trips. Details are below.

Safeway: 10x Febreze Luminaire Refills---FREE!!! Saved $40!! On clearance for $3.99, used $4 P&G coupons.

London Drugs--Paid $46.04 Saved $149.18!!! Details below!

Got 8x Dove Shampoo/Conditioner, 2x Old Spice bodywash, 2x Splenda, 2x Arm & Hammer Toothpaste, Glade Scented Oil Refill, 2x Glucerna 6pk., 4x Rubbermaid Glass Storage Containers, 6x Glade Room Spray, 3x Elastoplast Bandages, 6x Loreal Shampoo/Conditioner, and 2x 6-pk Bounty Paper Towels (with over $20 in coupons in each package)!! It was an amazing haul, and more than half of it will be handed out!

Off to watch some TV and veg... Snow day tomorrow... Happy clipping all!

Huge Haul--No coupons!!!

2011-11-22T23:00:00.000-08:00

I had an amazing day today. I don't shop alot anymore at Superstore, but needed to pick something up for my Grandma there today, so off I went. Thank goodness I did! They had an amazing clearance blow-out sale. I didn't use ANY coupons!!! Here are the 2 pictures, with break downs of each trip! Prices include GST!


Paid $20.75, saved $307.38!!!!!!!!

Shown Above---All items were $0.19 each on clearance!!! This included 5x3-pack duo-tangs, 20x10pk pens, 52x24pk Crayola pencil crayons, 8x24pk pencils, 2x4pk markers, 3x scientific calculator, 3x regular calculator, 4x4pk mechanical pencils, 7x6pk Bic red pens.

Paid $30.74, Saved $200.31!!!!!

They had amazing toys on clearance--each toy cost $2.44. Here's the list: 2x Crayola glow explosion kits, 2x ZuZu Princess Ballroom play sets (Were NOT supposed to be on clearance, but they were in the bin, so I got both for $2.44 each), 2x Zuzu outfits, ZuZu hamster, ZuZu baby set, Monster High doll, Hot Wheels Color Shifters car, Toy Story Crayola Art Kit (not pictured) and Feed The Pig Kids Game (not pictured and it wasn't supposed to be on clearance, but was in the bin!). All in all a good hall. Finished Liam's friends' shopping, and most of the school/office supplies are being donated to a few charities!!

So all in all----Spent $51.49, saved $507.69!!!!

That's all for now! Still doing a happy dance!
