Couponing trip 2/3/2015

Today I was in a deal mood, like, a super deal mood! I get these maybe once a week, where I MUST go to the store NOW (by myself, so I can REALLY DIG through the sales) and get stocked up on things for a great deal.

Today was a great day to do this, and you still have some time to get in on some of these if you so choose!

Today, I spent a total of $14.47 OOP, now, your miles may vary, because I have been rolling rebates at Menards and Target gift card deals.


True Skin Care - Anti-Aging Eye Gel - Review


There are a few things about myself that I don't particularly care for, I know overall I just need to get over that, but hey, it won't stop me from trying things that might help me!

Bags, I have bags under my eyes. I always have. In fact, it's hereditary, because my daughter was born with them. If we don't look like we have been awake for weeks on end, we look like we have black eyes, or maybe...just maybe...we are the walking dead.

The bags under my eyes are so big, that an airline would charge me extra to board the plane with them...

The bags under my eyes are so large, even Jerry Springer couldn't handle this baggage...

It's bad...

True Skin Care, awesome company by the way, send me over some of their anti-aging eye gel to try.

By reading the description on Amazon I truly hoped that this would work for at least diminishing the baggage under my eyes.

Salsa Dance Workout - Review

Recently I received a Salsa Dance Workout DVD in the mail.


You aren't going to get a lot of pictures with this review, unfortunately, watching me attempt to salsa dance is really not all that photogenic!

 I have an interesting gadget that I received in the mail today. I found a random code that somebody had posted on Facebook, that made this bad boy free...it was only for a specific number of units and then boom, all gone.

I'll be honest, I had no hope for this product. Why? Because I bought some pet stain remover w/ wand light years ago when we were toilet training the cat, just to make sure that he wasn't having booboos. He never did, but that darn black light didn't light anything up. I walked around the house looking for anything that would light up, and nothing.

Crock pot chicken pot pie soup with super easy dumplings

 I love my crock pot. I love that I can stick food in it, turn it on, and be rewarded hours later with a  nice delicious meal...with hardly any effort.

You may remember that a couple of weeks ago I got a box of goodies from Influenster. One of those items was McCormick Thyme. Aside from the usual joke of having too much Thyme on my hands, I'll be honest I was stumped as to what to do with it. I cook almost every meal, but Thyme is not usually a spice we keep on hand, nor is it usually one that we will use.

As I was perusing the recipes, I noticed that a lot of people like to put Thyme in their pot pies.

Well, I'm a cheater when it comes to pot pie. So I made this recipe, just for you, I hope you enjoy it.

Wave 3 Coffee - coupon code inside!


I type to you this morning as I sit here with my cup of Joe.

This week I had the pleasure of receiving a bag of this new Wave 3 coffee


This coffee is touted as being an artisinal coffee that is roasted in small batches, is organic, and is fair trade. This coffee is supposed to give you a smooth wave of energy rather than a short burst. Although you typically won't see me do this, I'm going to copy and paste the benefits the company has listed on their Amazon page in regards to this coffee:
