Save at Shell Gas Stations with the new Fuel Rewards Network Program! {Giveaway}

noreply@blogger.com (Saving Our Way) — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 18:01:00 +0000

Gas takes up a huge portion of our household budget each month. We really can't do much about what the price of gas is - however, we can actually change how much we pay for it at the pump! My family always takes advantage of our local grocers fuel rewards & now with the new Fuel Rewards Network Program, there are many new ways to save!

The new Fuel Rewards Network program – or FRN™ – is available at participating Shell stations in more than 100 markets throughout the U.S. and will be available in nearly 200 by the end of the year . FRN empowers consumers to lower their fuel prices significantly with everyday purchases. Never pay full price at the pump again! The FRN program offers multiple ways to earn rewards through everyday purchases of things like food, clothing and household goods, which can be redeemed for fuel savings at participating Shell stations.

There are multiple ways for local consumers to save with the Fuel Rewards Network program including:

o   Online Mall – Access nearly 700 brand name online merchants offering 5 cents per gallon for every $50 spent. Some online merchants may offer 2x, 5x, 10x rewards or more – so consumers can multiply their savings!
o   Dining – Earn 10 cents per gallon for every $50 spent when dining at more than 10,000 participating restaurant locations nationwide.
o   eCoupons – Digital coupons available for select retailers in select markets provide additional cents per gallon savings when the digital coupon is selected at fuelrewards.com and the item is subsequently purchased at a participating retailer.
o   Grocery and Other Programs – Consumers can buy the everyday things they need and earn Fuel Rewards savings from participating Jewel-Osco stores and retailers. Consumers just link their participating grocer or other retailer loyalty card to their FRN Account to combine their rewards for even more savings at the pump at Shell in select markets.
o   Shell Fuel Rewards – Purchase specially marked products inside the convenience store as well as car washes and auto services at participating Shell stations and earn Fuel Rewards savings.
·
The program is unique because it allows consumers to combine or stack multiple rewards offers – or cents-per-gallon discounts – together for potentially huge savings right at the pump. Imagine taking as much as one, two, three dollars or more off per gallon on your next fuel purchase!

The FRN program is FREE – just pick up a Fuel Rewards Network Card at a participating Shell station, then activate it online at fuelrewards.com. Consumers can also request a Fuel Rewards Network Card online at fuelrewards.com.  You can learn more about the Fuel Rewards Network program and track your fuel savings by visiting fuelrewards.com and you can view a video on how the program works here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdqFvZiQZLM

WIN IT: I'm giving away four (4) Fuel Rewards Network Cards that have been preloaded with $1.50/gallon saving,s for one fill up! Enter below to win!

    **NOTE: Ways to save and Shell station participation vary by market. Depending on where your live - you may or may not have access to all or any of these ways to save.

Here is a sweet sweet snapshot I grabbed of the girls this week. Nothing sweeter than sisters!

I'm still here! Just starting to resurface after the hospitalized bedrest, csection and recovery, adjusting to 2 children - add some reflux, colic & some postpartum anxiety in there - and the past (almost) 4 months have basically been a blur!

What we are really enjoying is the love between sisters! We are truly blessed!

3rd Annual #RVA Frugal Challenge: How Many School Supplies Can You Buy for $10?

noreply@blogger.com (Saving Our Way) — Sun, 15 Jul 2012 16:26:00 +0000

Pictured above is my haul from last year's challenge where I spent $9.89 out of pocket for a total of $154.72 worth of school supplies - a savings of 93.61%!

A little Frugal Challenge history: The #RVA Frugal Challenge began in 2010 when Alison, from Richmond Bargains, challenged a few of us fellow local frugal bloggers to a friendly competition to see who could stretch a small budget the furthest. The four of us spent $40 to accumulate $500 worth of supplies to donate to the Fulton Hill Neighborhood Resource Center. Here's my recap post from the first School Supply Challenge from August 2010.

Last year, with help from Kroger and the Hodges Partnership, we opened the challenge up to anyone who was interested and 16 shoppers collected over $3,000 worth of supplies to donate to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Richmond. You can read my recap post here. The winner, Erin McGarvey, stretched $10 to get $567.74 worth!(!) Which was a 98.2% savings!

The Challenge begins again,TODAY! - Please join us!

Why should you participate?

A. It's a great cause. Well, it will be for a great cause - kids! :) We;re still finalizing exactly which of many worthwhile Richmond organizations will receive this year's supplies, and will update that information as soon as I can.

B. It's fun. If you've never tried, you'll be surprised how many school supplies $10 buys when you are shopping the back-to-school deals!

C. You might win a prize. Those who accept the challenge this year will be eligible to win some cool prizes from generous sponsors:

(2) $50 Kroger gift cards, courtesy of Kroger

(2) KidsDineFree cards, courtesy of KidsDineFree.net

(1) $20 Ledo Pizza gift card + $20 Regal Cinemas gift card, courtesy of ILikeToSave.com

Hopefully I've talked you into it, so here's what you need to know:

The Challenge runs 7/15/12 (today) through Tuesday, August 14

. Purchases must be made in that time frame.

You can spend a maximum of $10, excluding tax. Rebates do not count to your total.Save all your receipts, and keep records of your spending and saving (including where and when you made purchases, what the retail value was, what discounts you used, and how much you spent) There is a spreadsheet available on Google Docs if you could use help with the calculations. Go here.Your final total - how much you spent, and the total retail value of items - must be submitted by Wednesday, August 15th, 2012 at noon EDT. SUBMIT TOTALS USING THIS FORM.

On Wednesday, August 15th, we will gather at Tuckahoe Library (1901 Starling Drive, Henrico, VA 23229) at 4pm to collect everyone's collections, recognize the top frugal shoppers, and to select prize winners. If you can't make it at that time, one of us will be happy to make other arrangements with you to pick up your stuff.

To be eligible to win one of the prizes, you must collect at least $40 retail value worth of supplies with your $10 budget (75% savings). This is so easy to do & we're almost insulting your frugal intelligences by making it the minimum. (If it sounds daunting, we'd be happy to give you some ideas of where to start!) The point of the challenge is to challenge yourself! You must also provide your receipts and documentation if you are selected a winner, but you don't have to be present on August 15th to win.

More fine print: No more than one prize per person. Participants will be assigned a number based on when their totals were received (first = 1), and from the total number of eligible participants, Random.org will be used to select the winning numbers. Donation must be received before prize is distributed.

Questions? Shoot! You can also hang out on the RVA Coupon Pros Facebook page to ask questions, share tips or photos, etc.

Sorry for the delay in posting. Had to endure two rounds (24 hours) of Mag Sulfate yesterday & it was not a good feeling for me, and a long day for us all. Plus Blogger is being a PITA and not letting me upload pics, so i'll do that later.

Kinley Brooks Ross made her arrival at 7:25pm last night. She weighed 7lbs 3.8ozs & was 19.5 inches long. She is just beautiful & looks a lot like her big sister did when she was born. We are all doing well & have our fingers crossed to be released tomorrow.

Thank you all for all of your thoughts & prayers. We greatly appreciate them!

7 Days to go....

noreply@blogger.com (Saving Our Way) — Tue, 15 May 2012 15:09:00 +0000

Here we are - we have 7 days to go & i'm back in the hospital. First I have to tell you that I keep saying that this is the "Final Countdown" and each time I hear this song, "Its the Final Countdown" by Europe in my head. Horrible, I know, but that's what hospitalized bed rest will do for you! lol!

My appointment Friday didn't go so well & my blood pressures were up. I have no idea what happened because they had been doing well at home & i'd made it through 4 other OB appointments & managed to pass & be allowed to head back home. My OB was out of the office last week so I saw two of her partners. Made it though one but not the other. Funny, the one on Friday, Dr. C. - she was the one who put me in the hospital the first time, back in early April! I really do like her so i'm not sure how we don't mesh well with my blood pressures during my appointments where I see her. In the end, my Maternal Fetal Specialist who oversees my care told her that if I threw blood pressure numbers like that again, then they would have to deliver me. So we agreed to keep me put here for the remainder, instead of risking me repeating the blood pressure episode at one of my two appointments this week and ending up having to deliver a few days earlier than planned.

Anyways, I made it 2.5 weeks at home & for that we are so thankful. It was really nice and really helped with some extra quality time spent with my bug. She is doing much better this time around as we had a lot of time to talk and answer any questions she had. We also reminded her before each appointment that I went to, that if the Drs. wished to watch the baby grow more closely, then I would have to come back in the hospital. So I think we were all prepared better this time around & she's seemed to of done well, thankfully.

We are scheduled super late in the day on next Tuesday. So it's going to be a long day. I'm also due for a lovely round of Mag Sulfate after delivery since I do fall into the mild preeclampsia category. So we will update everyone but don't expect to see anything here until late Wednesday or maybe even Thursday, depending on how I feel - since Mag Sulfate should truly be used as a form of torture.... thoughts & prayers are welcomed for us all. We are very excited to meet our newest little one & to complete our family.

Thank you!

Rascal Flatts - Changed

noreply@blogger.com (Saving Our Way) — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 21:53:00 +0000

I can't say that I am a music person. My husband certainly is. I can usually take it or leave it. Especially after motherhood, there is something very nice about a quiet car ride when I get the rare opportunity to be out on an errand alone. I think at times I just get a little sensory overload & I find quiet more soothing than music.

However, when it comes to Rascal Flatts, I feel like they are one of very few bands that trigger the musical person hidden deep inside me. With them I experience the nostalgia & memory connections with my songs that instantly transport me back to the time in my life where that song was new and popular. They are also one of very few bands where I can put their album's on and listen to the entire thing all the way through without skipping songs or turning it off. I will listen to them enough that when I hear one of their songs on the radio - as it goes off, I start to sing the song that follows on their album... anyone else do that?!

Their first two albums, Rascal Flatts and Melt take me back to college. Especially the long summer nights, fresh mountain air & lots of fun times with friends. Their third album, Feels Like Today, takes me back to my newlywed years with Bless the Broken Road. I think we all feel that way when we've finally found our forever someone & marrying him really made me reflect back on my dating experiences & I was so thankful for my new husband and starting our future together. The album also takes me back to a handful of NASCAR races here in Richmond and down in Charlotte where I really had some great times. Their forth album, Me and My Gang, takes me back to my younger sisters high school graduation with the song, My Wish. It really summed up everything that I hoped & wished for her as she entered college & adulthood.

As I stated earlier, entering parenthood as really reduced the amount of free time that I used to spend listening to music or attending events where I had the opportunity to listen to music! However, as the trio's eighth studio album, Changed, was just released earlier this month & it is just as much of an amazing album as their past ones. What I love most is that these guys are so invested in their music & their passion. Each of the three band members had a hand at writing the songs on this album.

As I am in the hospital on bed rest with my pregnancy of our second baby, I suddenly have plenty of time to listen to music again & I find that it helps to pass the time. I've really enjoyed listening to Rascal Flatts new album, Changed. I think my favorite song on the album is Hot In Here. Every woman likes to know that they have such an affect on their man. It's a really upbeat song that is easy to sing along to & one that on a warm day you'd love to turn the radio up, put the window down & just sing along as you are driving down the highway.

The Changed album overall doesn't disappoint. I feel that its still the same great band & that is one thing that I have always like about Rascal Flatts is that they stay true to who they are & their country roots. You can hear a song & instantly know its them. They are great & I love that they keep producing great music that helps create happy times & happy memories.

One thing I haven't done that I wish to do is to catch them live in concert. It's on my list & I know that when I do, it will be so much fun! If you are looking to catch Rascal Flatts live in concert this year, here is the listing of their upcoming concert tour dates.

I received Rascal Flatts, Changed, album as a member of the One2One Network in exchange for my review. All opinions are solely mine.

Stepping back in for an update...

noreply@blogger.com (Saving Our Way) — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 10:30:00 +0000

Well the lovely cartoon above has probably given it away - but I am currently in the hospital in the antepartum unit just loving life.... (truth be told these nurses have been amazing & you actually look forward to them coming in to have someone to chat with, even when the visit entails having your vitals checked & having to answer plenty of lovely pregnancy questions that we all like to pretend just don't happen to us).

How did I get here? I was doing so well! I KNOW, RIGHT! Well to back track. With our daughter Lyla, I started swelling (um, like a blowfish) and having trouble with my blood pressure early on, at our 24 week appointment. I had a slow progression and didn't get the official 'pre-eclampsia' diagnosis & hospital admittance until 34 weeks. It was mild, as my proteins stayed in the 400-800 range the remainder of my pregnancy & my blood pressures were mostly 140's/90's with me on my sides. So all that landed me the entire month of May 2008 in the hospital. I was admitted on May 2nd and we walked out of there with our new baby on May 31st! It was a wild month but one that was totally worth it all after we met our beautiful daughter.

Even though it was 'worth it' - lord I didn't want to be here again. This pregnancy, as I have shared with you'll before, I have worked extremely hard to try & control any perceived risk factors that I could. Not working any longer so I was hoping that controlled my stress & rest levels enough to gain from what an almost 4 year old also takes from those! lol! Eating high protein & very nutritiously. It's helped me feel really great. Maintaining some sort of exercise. I've varied between jogging early on and light weights to swimming and walking. It's felt really great to of been more mobile & active up to this point. The good eating along with the exercising has led to a very realistic and normal weight gain (at this point with Lyla, shew....). Finally, combine all of these together with the fact that my blood pressure had been super normal & i'd been a text book patient up until last Thursday, at my 31 week appt, had left me thinking that I was going to make it to the end with only having to see the hospital for a few days of joyously welcoming our second baby.

BUT - couldn't be that easy, right?

My blood pressure was up at my 31 week appointment, enough that they sent me over to L&D for more bp checks & some monitoring of the baby. After a long 4 hours - my bp's were down & they sent me home for the weekend with a 24 hour protein collection to turn in on Monday (collecting your pee, ya'll). My parents kept our bug for a few days in attempt to give me peace, quiet & rest so that it could buy me time & keep me out of the hospital. Didn't work out that way. Yesterday, my bp was back up in the drs office. No place where it's higher. Add in a little white coat & nerves to elevated bp & it can make an OB/GYN nervous really quick! So back to L&D for more monitoring & we were waiting for the protein catch results as that would let us know if we were dealing with just PIH (Pregnancy Induced Hypertension) or the start of my nemesis, Pre-eclampsia.

We were looking for levels below 300 and of course after 4 hours of chillin on my side in L&D Triage closet size room & roasting, as it was beyond hot in there, the results came back in the 400's & suddenly we are thrown back into the Pre-e game again - with almost no warning. My blood pressures are mostly 130's/70;s-80's right now. If you were to see me & compare me to a photo that is on my fridge of my office baby shower from 4 years ago - pregnancy dates are off by about a week - the difference is so noticeable. I am sure some wonder why I keep that photo on my fridge b/c I look like you could lay me down & roll me b/c I am so bloated & swollen. (I keep it b/c its one of the last sweet photos of me pregnant with bug). With the absence of the swelling this time & the fact that I've really been feeling great, with great reports, up til Thursday, I had really convinced myself that this time would be different.

So here I am back on the Antepartum unit. I'm here at least a few days & through at least a few more rounds of blood work & lab tests. Thankfully, all my blood work for my kidneys & liver & such look great. Depending on how these go, will determine if I could possibly get to go home or if I am here until I deliver. Let me just say - that was how they got me in the door last time. Sneaky. Then the night went to the weekend then to the week & then - BOOM - you're here until you deliver! So I am not anticipating anything different this time around.

I am so thankful for both sets of our bugs wonderful grandparents that are able to drop everything & help work out schedules with us that allows her to have a pretty normal routine, provides my hubby with plenty of help & also allows me to get to see her almost every day of the week. That is the plan. I get to see her this afternoon, as I haven't seen her since Saturday - longest time apart ever - and I can hardly wait. It's going to be a long next month or so - but we know that it's all worth it in the end. First goal is to make it to 34 weeks and the next goal is 37 - i'll be 32 weeks on Thursday.

My current goal is to try to get a little more sleep before they are in for rounds. My 5:30a blood pressure check was such a sweet way to greet the early morning & left me, shockingly, hungry, so I couldn't go back to sleep. Grabbed me a bite to eat out of my fridge (which high fives for that b/c my other hospital 4 years ago did not have that amenity) and decided to blog a little while I was eating.

I'll have plenty of time on my hands here - so do expect regular updates and i'll probably even get to some frugal posts too - "Gasp, isn't that what this blog is about to begin with? Not pregnancy & babies!" I know - so sorry to of neglected you guys - but everyone loves pregnancy & babies.. right?!

All thoughts & prayers are greatly coveted and appreciated.

27 Weeks & Some Rambling Thoughts...

noreply@blogger.com (Saving Our Way) — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 13:56:00 +0000

Wow - my Third Trimester really snuck up on me! The First Trimester was at a snails pace for me but the Second seemed to of passed in a blink. I know this one will too & before we know it, we'll soon have our new baby snuggled in our arms, Lord willing.

Here I am in all my glory this past weekend, 27w2d. This is pregnant reality when you are 5'2" and expecting your second. No cute "Oh you don't even look pregnant from the back", etc. Not a ton of room to put this baby so by being so short - I grow out in many directions! I've noticed a little waddle coming back in my step too!

I am doing well with the pregnancy. Normal aches & pains but nothing too bad. I am thankful my blood pressure is still holding steady in a great normal range. I haven't blown up with swelling like I did with bug. Possibly why I am decently ok with posting a picture of myself online! lol! I do know when this pregnancy is over that I won't wish to see another glass of milk or eat any eggs again for a long, long time. I am working on a high protein diet, ala the Dr. Brewer Pregnancy Diet, in hopes of keeping away the Pre-eclampsia that plagued me with my pregnancy with bug.

There are many theories out there to what causes pre-e. I am guessing that it's not just one cause or one solution. This diet seems to be working so far, thankfully. However, I could also be having a better pregnancy because this baby could be a different gender than our bug. Many people say they have less complications or an easier pregnancy with one gender versus another. We are always Team Green - so we won't know until the end. Also - you have a higher risk of pre-e with a first pregnancy & there is no guarantee that you'll get it again for any following pregnancies, even though you'll technically have a higher risk since you have had it before. Speaking of high risk, I am labeled as such due to my pre-e with bug, even though things are going great so far. Therefore, I get an ultrasound at each appt to keep an eye on the baby. Here is a sweet 4D one from my 25 week appt. Baby looked great. Was measuring about 1lb 12ozs & the tech captured our littlest one sucking it's thumb. It was at this moment that my heart swelled as I realized that we would have another little human that we've created that we love just as much as we love our bug. My heart feels huge & so full. So much to be thankful for.

Looking forward to a week of amazing weather. I am not a Winter person. Just not a fan of layers & bone chilling wind and all else that comes along. I like one good snow & then for Winter to be over! I am so ready for Spring and so thankful for a week that will be so pleasant in the 70's where I can get my bug outside for some fresh air (and wear her out so that bedtime is less of a battle, shew). Also plan to relax a good amount this week. The hubs was off on a road trip with his cousin last week to Houston to see ZZ Top at the Houston Rodeo. Long long week of keeping up with an almost 4 year old without my partner in crime. Beyond thankful for my parents & my in-laws. Couldn't & wouldn't of made it through the week without their help. I am certainly no Super Woman at almost 7 months pregnant!

In closing - I would like to add that I am thankful for the hour+ we got back this morning when our bug slept until 8am! Thank you DST! I have always been a fan but after a month of our bug being up b/w 6:45-7:15am - I am even more a fan of the little extra rest I was allotted today :-)

Another great incentive to come out to support RVAEpicTales & Adopt-a-Classroom during their send off celebration is that Dominion Chevrolet will be raffling off a "getaway" lease of a Chevy Traverse, just like the one @RVAEPICTALES is taking to Texas to help support the cause! Participants will also be automatically entered for a chance to win a car-- for keeps-- in April!!

Please pass along to any pioneers you know who "took the road less traveled." They'd love for them to chime in on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/rvaepictales

Random Thoughts & Catching Up....

noreply@blogger.com (Saving Our Way) — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 15:03:00 +0000

I think this is the longest my blog has ever gone without a post from me. I warned you'll that this may happen during this pregnancy - so for those of you who are still checking in, i'm here - just really busy!

The past 3 weeks have been filled with at least one person in the house not feeling well. Started with the hubs, then went to the bug. They both battled some viral funk that finally resulted in nasty sinus infections for both. I was thrilled though because that meant that they could both finally need an antibiotic which would put an end to the two weeks of suffering & at least one person waking me up in the middle of the night needing me! It took both of them about 4 days on the antibiotic to start to really perk up.

We traveled to visit my husband's Nannie for her 90th birthday. We had a lovely visit with her and are so thankful we are able to spend the time with her. She's pretty feisty & in great health for 90. She actually has an aunt who will be 105 this May!

One of my worst ailments of this pregnancy is that I have a sensitivity to the heat indoors and in vehicles. It just sucks every last bit of moisture out of my sinuses and leaves them burning & bleeding. It's not pleasant. I've basically not been able to exist without a humidifier since November. The traveling last weekend, 3 hours each way in the car, really put a hurting on my sinuses and I can finally say that today is the first day that I am feeling back to normal in a week. I think I need to invent a mask where I just breath in humid air at all times! lol! Sad. I am really wishing away this winter & truly cannot wait until the weather warms up & we don't need to run the heat any longer. (Not to mention that I am basically freezing my family out of house & car with the lowest possible temp settings we can be comfortable on.)

The highlight of our week was this:

Our sweet peek at our littlest one at my 21 week ultrasound. Baby looked perfect & wonderful! We are team green over here. Didn't find out with Lyla either. I think the baby has the same sweet overbite that Lyla has and that just makes me melt. I love her little chin & I eat all over it all the time!

My big project now is stocking up on diapers & wipes! I am a big Pampers diapers & Huggies wipes snob for the first year for my babies. So the next few months will be spent working my coupon magic to make room for baby expenses in our budget again!

Target: Debit REDcard

noreply@blogger.com (Saving Our Way) — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 00:20:00 +0000

My husband stumbled upon an article in the Sunday paper that discussed how a few retailers are now offering up debit cards as an option instead of the store credit card for consumers who wished to participate in the rewards programs without having to open a credit account.

Target is one of those stores. They actually offer a debit version of their REDcard that gives you all the benefits of their credit REDcard but without any interest, because it's linked to your checking account! The charges draft out of your account similar to bills that are paid through your BillPay accounts. They may take a couple days to clear so make sure to record them in your check register to maintain your proper balance.

The Target Debit REDCard benefits include: 5% off every shopping trip at Target and Target.com; FREE Shipping from Target.com; Pharmacy & Education Rewards. The Target Debit Card links right to your checking account for hassle-free shopping. You can even request up to $40 cash back when you're shopping in-store. Target Debit Card cannot be used on the mobile Target.com website.

Go here to read more about the Target Debit REDcard & to apply for one yourself, if you decide! We have a beautiful Super Target that opened up last year and I shop there often... more often than I should... so the option of saving 5% off my shopping trips without having to open a credit account is really cool!
