Every week, I share a list of the best deals at Walmart for $1 or less, with thanks to I Heart the Mart for putting the match-ups together. If you are planning a run to Walmart, you will definitely want to add these freebies (or almost freebies) to your list.

Don’t forget, Walmart allows you to earn overage when the value of your coupon exceeds the cost of the item. You can also price match any local advertised sale price at Walmart.

Suave Everlasting Sunshine, 30-oz. – $1.46
Use $.50/1 off any ONE (1) Suave Everlasting Sunshine Shampoo
= $.94 after coupon

Glade Warmer Unit – $1.38
Use $1.25 off Glade PlugIns Scented Oil warmer
= $.13 after coupon

Hunt’s Snack Packs Pudding – $1.00 each
Buy 3 and use $1/3 Hunt’s Snack Pack coupon (Use zipcode33712 if necessary)
= $0.67 each after coupon

Wet n’ Wild Lipstick, Eye Pencil or Nail Polish – $0.93?
Use $1.00 off ANY Wet n Wild Product from 5/13 RP insert
= FREE + $.07 money-maker after coupon

Dial Hand Soap is on price cut for $1.29 at Target this week, and with a couple of coupons you can pay as little as $.29 each. This is definitely a STOCK-UP price!

Here’s what your deal will look like:

Purchase (4) Dial Handsoap- $1.29 each
Use $2 off 4 Dial Handsoaps Printable Coupon (sort by personal care to find it quickly)
And then use (2) $1/2 Dial Handsoaps Target Printable Coupon (if your Target allows you to use two like store coupons in one transaction)
= $.29 each after coupons

The best case scenario is that your store allows you to use two of the Target coupons. Some stores only allow you to use one Target coupon per transaction, in which case, you’ll pay $.62 each – which is still a great price.

There was a $3/6 Dial Handsoap coupon out briefly on Sunday, but by the time I posted this week’s Target deals on Monday, it had disappeared. I’d hurry and print this one (two copies, of course) before it’s gone!

Thanks, Kansas City Mamas!

It was four weeks ago today that I showed you my new game closet. Do you remember that beauty?

(I am pleased to report that it still looks like that today. A quick glance around the house tells me that not all the games are getting rehoused each night – but most of them are, and the game pieces-everywhere situation is definitely under control.)

Score 1 Point for Me!

Now, do you happen to remember that in that post about my game closet, I said I was next going to work on decluttering my desk drawers?

Yes, you do remember that?

Oops.

Sadly, even the accountability of having declared my intentions PUBLICLY on this blog was not enough to motivate me to tackle those drawers.

However. Lest you think I have been completely adrift of all decluttering efforts, let me update you on the progress that has happened here lately.

I spread out 35 bags of mulch all.by.myself (why, yes, I do think that deserves to be bolded ) while my hubby was away last week. This may not technically be decluttering, but I’m counting it anyway since it was HARD work!

While progress was definitely made, we still have lots to do in yard, including:

• Finish clearing out the forsythia forest (attractive, right? ugh!); mulch the area; and build a rock garden/box for my daughter’s 3rd birthday

• Figure out what we’re going to do about our lack-of-even-remotely-presentable-patio-furniture situation
• Replant the herbs, which have completely outgrown their pots (the dill in particular is growing like CRAZY!)

Back inside the house, I changed out, decluttered and rearranged our basement bookshelves in our basement.

We inherited a beautiful set of bookshelves from friends who are leaving Kansas City. These new shelves gave me the opportunity to reevaluate what was being housed on our basement bookshelves – and to do a little editing.

The previous shelves (which I’m sure 85% of basements in America have the same ones) got rehomed in our unfinished storage room.

This is where I keep my stockpile, so new shelves again meant a new leash on organization. Here is a shot of a few of the items in my stockpile.

See this pile? That’s our to-be-donated pile. I gotta get on that before the kids discover it!

And finally the former stockpile shelving unites got to migrate out to the garage, where one day, we WILL instill some kind of order on the mass chaos that reigns today. (And no, I’m sorry, but you can’t see a picture of my garage. Trust me, it’s a horror!)

Last but certainly not least, I dared to enter my boys’ room. It’s been a source of constant frustration for me the last several months. We/they would clean it up and 12 hours later it would look like this again.

I had identified a number of problems – not the least of which was TOO MUCH STUFF. They had an excess of clothing, thanks in large part to generous friends who hand us down clothing. Plus, my boys are two very different body shapes, so we’ve got 12 slims and 8  huskies and a whole lot of random medium and large shirts floating around the room.

When folding laundry, the most frequent refrain is “Who’s shirt is this???”

Inevitably we get it wrong, and mistakenly give the eight year-old the six year old’s shirt, and, in the process, trigger an all-out brother meltdown.

As you can see, I had my work cut out for me!

I’ll leave you with this teaser of an after picture (AAAAAHHHHHH!), and ask that you come back next week to hear all about how we have started to wrangle their mess of a room by editing, labeling and organizing their clothing.

Is there any decluttering going on at your house? Don’t you just love getting rid of stuff? It feels so free to let go of that albatross! Do you have areas of your home that taunt you, like my pesky desk drawers? See you in the comments!

Coconut oil is a wonderful high-heat stable oil great for cooking and popping stove-top popcorn. You can also use as a natural hair conditioner or lotion.

We ordered this oil a few months ago with a similar deal and I am loving cooking with it! It has a very slight coconut flavor in baked good, but when sauteed, I can’t detect it at all.

Having contacted the OU about this brand, my understanding (as always – consult your LOR) is that EVCO does not require a hechsher.

Need some photo prints? Here’s a deal for you!

Snapfish is offering 100 prints for $10.00 with FREE shipping when you use code MOMPRINTS at checkout.

Thanks My Frugal Adventures.

Thanks to the many readers who let me know that the O-K issued a Kashrut Advisory today that Trader Joe’s chocolate chips are no longer being certified parve. They will now be OK-D (non-cholov yisroel).

Check your local TJs, as they may still have some pareve ones on the shelves.

Be sure to share this info with your friends, as I know that these chocolate chips are a veritable dessert-making staple in our house – and it’s easy to assume they’re pareve without checking.

I think it’s time for a letter-writing campaign! Who’s gonna organize?!

Walmart.com has an amazing deal right now on the Graco – Lauren 4-in-1 Convertible Fixed Side Crib and Mattress Value Bundle.

Choose the Espresso, White, Natural, Walnut or Cherry Finish plus get a 5-star rated Kolcraft mattress for just $149.99 (regularly $175).

Even better, you can get the whole shebang shipped to your home for only $.97. ‘Cuz you know when you’re 9 months pregnant, the last thing you want to do is schlep a 60-pound crib into the back of your car.

Lauren 4-in-1 Convertible Classic Fixed-Side Crib:

• Coordinates beautifully with the Graco Lauren Dressing Table
• Three-position mattress support
• Uses standard crib mattress (mattress sold separately)
• Stationary sides
• Baby crib is JPMA, ASTM & CPSC safety certified
• Five-year limited warranty against manufacturer’s defects
• Fixed-Side Crib features durable solid pine wood construction

While I’m a big fan of buying baby gear second-hand (or accepting hand-me-downs), I do make an exception for crib mattresses and car seats.

And given that this set includes a bonus Kolcraft mattress – and it is an AWESOME price – I’d say this is one HOT deal for any expecting mamas out there.
