Otherwise titled, Don't be a schmuck to your parents if you have reproductive organs. So, most anyone who knows me knows I struggled with an eating disorder most of teenage years and part of my twenties. I managed to get my almost five eight frame down to a scant 103 lbs...and I got a size zero to be BIG. Man, was I proud. Fast forward fifteen years and three pregnancies, and I'm ashamed of

King Soopers deals for Coloradians

2013-01-17T20:31:00.002-05:00

Hey, Colorado Peeps, I had a good trip to King Soopers today, so I thought I'd post up some things I haven't seen making the rounds just yet. I'm sure everybody knows about the free toothpaste: Colgate, ten for ten, minus any number of recent doubled coupons. There was one in the 1/06 if you're not sure. Pillsbury grands! are $1, with a bunch of coupons available to make them .70 cents each.

King Soopers ideas: 11/28

2012-11-27T14:14:00.001-05:00

I'm not loving the ad preview this week at King Soopers, but there are a couple of things that are at a low(er) price than normal, so you can grab them if you are running low. I'm not seeing many stock up prices, but definitely a couple of 'hold-you-over' prices. Cereals: GM cereals are $1.99 a box: You can get Honey nut cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and regular cheerios as cheap as .99 each

King Soopers free and cheap items

2012-11-08T12:24:00.001-05:00

To find coupons: I highly recommend you visit For the Momma's coupon database. I don't have time to pair them up completely as of right now, this is a list of what I'm buying with the coupons I already had on hand. I recommend that you acquire two to four sets of newspaper coupons each week, whether you beg, borrow, dumpster dive, whatever, it's up to you. MOST good deals require more than one

Walgreen's follow up

2012-11-08T11:42:00.002-05:00

SO, I'm back, an entire week later, mostly because I've been crazy, crazy busy with real, you know, actual work. Blah. It really was busy, though, so that was nice. Catch up: the Almay deal I posted about didn't work, so I took advantage of the John Frieda deal to get me to my coveted $40,000 points. There was a $2 off any frizz ease item in a paper not long ago, so I grabbed two of those for

2012-11-02T11:04:00.002-04:00

Okay, So, I'm getting lots of people asking me questions about couponing, likely because I can't shut up about it! But any rate, I thought I'd post up what I'm actually spending money on, what I'm thinking about, and what is a good deal in my opinion, for the benefit of the five or six people I know on facebook. It's not going to be fancy, guys. I've been working on this for more hours than I

The Curse of Facebook

2012-04-18T08:45:00.000-04:00

How do I say this? Facebook is the devil. A brilliant, evil, time sucking devil. That I love, dearly. It's one of my favorite ways to waste time: I love seeing all the people I've ever met ever in the history of the world, lined up in small clips so that I can easily stalk their existence, breaking our relationship down in small, single sentence quips that belie the true tempestuous nature of

Things You'll Never Get to Eat Again

2012-04-17T11:51:00.000-04:00

My grandmother was a terrible cook. I say that with the utmost of love and respect. The fact that she rarely did it may have had something to do with it, but in the span of my life, I remember more disasters than dishes. There was the Thanksgiving stuffing that floated in a pool of muddy liquid with large chunks of garlic and onion floating on the top...the salty soap soup that she produced in

Stockpile goods up for grabs: Place your bids here!

2012-04-12T13:16:00.000-04:00

It's getting closer, and closer, and closer: six weeks is NOT a lot of time to pare an entire household down to a trailer. I've got a stockpile roughly the size of the entire house to get rid of, forms of currency accepted include bartering, begging, pleading, whining. All bids should include a form of barter: for instance, what you want, plus what you are willing to do for it, and possibly a

They have some awesome twitter parties, too, so check it out if you get a shot. The Venus Olay razor was my second favorite product in the box. I was a little weirded out by it: the last time I

The Big Move...possibly

2012-04-10T13:41:00.000-04:00

Okay, as of now everyone that needed to know does know- we are seriously considering a cross country move for my husband's company at the end of May/beginning of June. He works for a major wireless carrier and they are closing the location he works at. The job situation around here is not the worst in the country, but still pretty grim, and we are wracking our brains daily trying to figure things

What I'm thankful for today-pancake breakfasts and smart little girls

2012-04-03T10:32:00.000-04:00

In the midst of all that is going on right now (more on that later), I need to take a minute to think about how thankful I am about all I have. Oh, I keep saying, "more on that later" because there are huge changes coming in our lives, big, epic changes and I have to actually TALK to everyone involved rather than posting a blog post and then dealing with my phone ringing off the hook. So until I

Okay, uber-success! Day 2 or 3 or 4 or something and I'm posting again. Well, I've actually started several posts, but getting them all the way done without having a meltdown is kind of an issue. So, this is one of those deal getting posts aimed at all the t-mobile people about to be either jobless, or surprisingly on an almost impromptu road trip to the land of enchantment.

Maybe you should start blogging again....

2012-03-23T10:57:00.000-04:00

This is something I've heard a bunch of times. And I tried...really I did. But there were sunshine-y days and little girl smiles and deals to be had and errands to be run and all the little bits of life that make the world turn to be done. *Big, deep sigh.* The truth is, I didn't NEED to blog right that minute. I had many busy things to do, things that kept my interest and took the place of the
