Today is my last day for spending!

My husband has challenged me to one month of no spending. We are able to buy gas for the cars and pay bills. But no grocery shopping, no clothes shopping. No extras!

Can I do it?

Free Makeup Bag at Target

Target's Sample Spot is once away giving away make up bags filled with samples. These are great because they also come stocked with coupons!!!

The basics of saving money!

So everyday for the next week or so I am going to post about the simple basics of how to save money. Lately, friends have been asking me how I manage to save all of this money, so I thought I would start a small series!

1. Do NOT make assumptions about prices. This is with stores, brands, etc. For instance, just because Wal-mart advertises that they have the lowest prices. This is not true. Do not assume that a store brand is always cheaper than a brand name. Also, do not assume that a brand name is cheaper with a coupon then a store brand. Take 5 minutes and do the math!

2. Always pair coupons with sales! If an item isn't on sale, save the coupon until it goes on sale!

3. Follow blogs that do coupon matchups for your favorite stores. I love www.iheartpublix.com and www.totallytarget.com. If you google your favorite store, you will find one. These bloggers put a LOT of time into these matchups!

4. When you make your shopping list, check out a coupon database, like ones at www.southernsavers.com, and you can search by the name! This is a great way to pair coupons with sales!

Stop by tomorrow for some more!

Consignment Sales as a Way to Save on Clothes for Kids

After school today I stopped by a consignment sale near our house. I was able to pick up 4 pairs of pajamas for only $10. All of the items at most of the consignment sales have to be in great condition. Many times I see moms buying laundry baskets full of clothes at these! It really is a great way to save money and get quality items for your children!

Here are my tips for finding great consignment sales:

  1. Check out www.thebargainwatcher.com for listings of sales near you. You can also do a simple google search.
  2. Bring reusable shopping bags or a laundry basket. I don't buy much so 1-2 reusable shopping bags is enough for me. 
  3. Make sure you find out what payment methods are accepted. Some sales will take credit cards, but others are strictly cash only.
  4. Get there early (especially with the big sales!)

Hospitals are saying NO to early c-sections.

Here is the article I am discussing: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44148964/ns/health-pregnancy/

The basics of the article is that 17 Oregon hospitals will no longer allow elective c-sections before 39 weeks of pregnancy. I think this issue has two important sides: the rights of the woman to choose and the rights of the baby to be born healthy. I personally had a C-section right at 39 weeks, but mine was not planned. Luckily, my daughter was given the highest APGAR score the doctor would give to a baby born via C-Section.

As a pregnant woman, I can completely understand the feeling of get this baby out of me. By the middle/end of the third trimester, most women are miserable. I tried everything to get my baby to come early. (Ok, maybe not everything, but spicy foods, walking, etc.) I am happy hospitals are taking steps to encourage moms to stay pregnant longer. But I think there is a major failure on the part of some doctors and medical associations to not share the benefits. I personally had no idea the vital developments that happen after 37 weeks. As far as I knew 37 weeks was full term and the baby should come right around then.

What are your thoughts?

Downy Unstoppables Review


I was recently given a sample of the new Downy Unstopables. I thought it was going to be a liquid, but instead they were little beads! You put it in the washer along with your detergent and/or your fabric softener. The Unstopables are designed to leave your laundry smelling like it just came out of the driver for a long time. 

I put it in with our sheets and designed this would be a good challenge for it. We have three dogs, who get in the bed even though they aren't supposed to, and a one year old! It did make everything smell super fresh for a bit after the wash. But after two days, the smell was pretty much gone. 

I think this product would work great if it didn't have the dogs and the baby combating the good smell. I think it would work great if you lived in a house without pets, but if you have pets, it probably isn't worth the cost.

Clearance Alert: Pampers Limited Edition Print Diapers

Normally, I could care less about the design of the diaper on my daughter's bottom. But while grocery shopping at Kroger, I noticed they had a cart full of the limited edition Pampers Prints on clearance. Instead of $19.99 a box (which at size 4 is .35 a diaper), they are on clearance for $8.79 (so only .15 a diaper)! Plus, there have been some coupons floating around in the Sunday papers for papers. This is a great price, plus these diapers come with double the pampers rewards points. Let me know if you are able to grab them!

Taste of Home and a Frito Lay Giveaway!

Frito-Lay is giving away a variety pack of their Lay's Regional Chips to one of my readers! I checked out the new regional chips and so many of them look yummy! I cannot wait to try their Garden Tomato and Basil. They also have Carolina BBQ, Honey Mustard, Creamy Garden Ranch, Balsamic Sweet Onion, Chipolte Ranch, and Cajun Herb and Spice. 


All of their Regional Chips are made with natural ingredients and cooked in sunflower or corn oil, which contains 80% or more of the good fats, rather than the bad fats! There is also 0 grams of trans fat! I cannot believe that one serving contains less sodium than a bagel!

One of my favorite recipes from home is super simple. My mom used to make them every Christmas.

Pineapple Caramel Bites

Ingredients:
1 can sliced pineapple
1 can sweetened condensed milk
Package of Cool Whip
Maraschino Cherries

1. Boil 4 cups of water. Place the can of sweetened condensed milk in the water. Make sure the can is submerged. .Boil for 90 minutes. Allow to cool for 30 minutes.
2. Place the slices of pineapple on a plate. Spoon some of the mixture from the sweetened condensed milk onto the pineapple slices. Top with Cool Whip and a cherry.
3. This is super easy and super yummy!

Stride Rite B1G1

Stride Rite is having a great sale. Buy 1 Get 1 50% off on all footwear.  Go check it out!

Moving on up!

I am excited to announce that my blog is moving on up! We officially have a facebook page, MommaMoney! Also, we have a new domain name. It is www.mommasmoney.com! Currently, if you go there you will get redirected back to the blog. But within the next two weeks we should have a brand new sparkly webpage. I felt the need to do this because it is hard to design a blog the way you want it in blogger. So we are branching out!

Also, I will be hosting my very first sponsored giveaway in a few weeks. Look out for the post in as soon as we get the webpage running (or it might be here!).

Anyways please stick with me during the transition. I will keep posting all of the same deals as before on the blog. I am going to try to see if it is possible to transfer all of my GFC followers and content. We will find out!

100 Free Business Cards at Staples!

Staples has a coupon available for 100 free black and white business cards. They also are having some AWESOME back to school sales. So if you are heading to staples, make sure and take this coupon with you!

Great survey companies to try

I have decided that our next big family vacation (12 months away) will be 100% funded by the extra money I earn online. Here are two things I use often in order to make a little extra money.

Surveys.com- This is a new one that I have recently signed up with but have already earned $5 from!
Opinion Outpost- This one is great it allows you to cash out via check, prepaid visa card, restaurant.com vouchers, and best of all Amazon gift cards. The surveys are usually good and usually pay pretty well.

Both take just a few minutes to sign up with!

Why did I start my blog?

There is a great blog linky going on right now! All you have to do is answer the question, Why did you start your blog?.

I started my blog because I am always getting great deals on products, so I wanted to be able to save other people money as well. I love going to the grocery store and spending $80 but saving $110. (This was my shopping trip this weekend!) I also started this blog because I wanted the chance to review new products and tip off my friends to some great websites out there.

If you have a blog, please answer this question and then join up over at By Word of Mouth Musings.
