Sold a Blanket - Hot Dog!

Thanks to Trey from, From the Sorcerer's Skull, for buying a blanket for his niece, yesterday.

That meant that tonight, when Tim found me this deal at Krazy Coupon Lady, I was able to give it a go.  Woohoo.

Here's the scoop.

$3.76 per year, up to two years allowed, using coupon code KRAZY.  Expiry date is 2-17 midnight (EST).

And dig this, tomorrow is double coupon day at Kmart.  Might have a hard time getting to sleep tonight.  Between the FREE toothpaste I got yesterday and the double dollar coupons tomorrow, my gosh it's almost too much.

My First Score

Finally got my first score.  Toothpaste.  Check it out.

$0.94 Toothpaste
$1.00 Coupon
-------
FREE item

The 6 cents overage was applied to the rest of my order.

This is the first time that an item was truly free.  Not register reward free, or Amazon reward free, but really, really free.   

I'm excited.  It's a lot of work and time, but totally worth it because by doing this, we'll be able to save for our car and write that cookery book, without breaking the bank.

Life is good.

PS: To the right of my blog is toothpaste.  Click image to receive your own $1 off coupon.  Enjoy and boogie boogie.

PPS: Some stores double coupons.

PPPS: Ray wanted to see a picture of the toothpaste, and I did take one but thought, no one wants to see my toothpaste.  I wasn't even sure anyone would read this post.  Anyway, thanks Ray for asking.

Behold ... FREE toothpaste.

Toilets or Baking

I'm home from work and I'm torn between dishes, baking, toilets (that I never did yesterday), or couponing.

Decisions, decisions, decisions.

At any rate, if you look to the right of my blog you'll see a cover of a magazine.
 
I glanced at a copy at the market and while I liked that it contained coupons, I still didn't think it was worth the $2.50 cover price.  So I searched and found it on Amazon for $12 bucks per year.  Only I used my rewards and got it for FREE.

So now I'm passing the information along to you chickies.  Or maybe even you gamer dudes with chickies of your own.

As for the toilets?  I'm not gonna lie.  It's not looking good.

Turds on Toast

I took photos of my breakfast this morning, only spicy mushrooms and brown bread looked more like turds on toast.

Not a great photo. 
 
Meanwhile, I'm still working on my cookery book but doing it within a budget.  Instead of buying every single thing I want to make that week, I now work around coupons and sales.

And you know what? Getting the bargains really helps keep the production costs down.  Because let me tell you what.

I can shop.

Buying ingredients is far and away my MOST favorite thing to spend money on.  And then getting to play in my lab writing new formulas, is even MORE fun.

I'm still limping about with my bum leg, but other than that, not much new here at the Manor.  Just scrubbing toilets and writing about food.  Simple but damn good day.

Cheers and boogie boogie.

Bug Levels Up

Poor little Bug has tried to snuggle up to Wiggy for a nappy nap, ever since the first day we got her from the pound.  But Wiggy wasn't having it.  Lots of growls and grumbles.

Then when I was sick and Wig was already tucked into me, she let Bug do this.  And without a single grumble.

Who Am I? Quiz 11

Back when I was sick I watched a DVD marathon of this show.  It is one of my favorites and even though I've seen each episode a billion times, I still laugh and giggle.  Such a great cure for being locked in a house, sick.

Today I have the day off and as I write this to you, both pups are fighting over a used dryer sheet.  Such goofballs.

But I digress ... Back to the quiz.  And as always, I'll be back later or tomorrow with the answers and prizes.  Which include two rocks, a lamp and a stinky pair of socks.

Who Am I? Quiz 11

When I need to relax, I do hair, nails and makeup.

1) Who am I?
2) Who is next to me?

Bonus points if you know ...

3) What I'm counting?
4) And how far I got before I had to start over?

104 Sales Mark

Tim just hit his 104th sale of Knowledge Illuminates.  I'm super duper proud of him for passing his goal of 100 and reaching 104.

Woohoo.

I love how excited he was on the phone when he called me. 

But now, I best get to my chores.  Then tonight when Tim games, I'll put together my coupon notebook, complete with clippings up the wahzoo.

Hope you're all doing well.  Thanks to everyone for the get well wishes.  We are both doing MUCH better.

Cheers & Boogie Boogie.

Best Sick Day, Ever

Check out the flag Ray made me.  How cool is that?  It's the BEST flag and I LOVE it.  Thanks bunches, Sir Ray.

He made Anne one as well.  Are we lucky girls or what?

Ray sent my new flag to me while I was sick and on the same day, one of my prep buddies dropped off a Justice League comic from her morning cereal, along with a stack of manufacture coupons for my new adventures.

And on that same night, Tim found me a commercial-free marathon on the 360, for Extreme Couponing.

Best sick day, ever.
