Back in early January I went on a clothes-trying-on trip; I’d seen a couple of the Thakoon by Target line items that I liked so I made sure they were the right size…and promptly put them back. The second trip was to try on their flip-flops so I knew for sure what size fit me [...]

Posted in CVS, Fashion, General Life, Notes from Me! on February 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Ugh, what an exhausting week! And even worse, it’s been one where nothing really gets done that’s noticeable. Anyways, my apologies for lack of posts, but I plan to have Shaws and Stop & Shop up tomorrow (night, I should specify), God-willing.
As sort of a random update, I DID end up calling our post office [...]
Menu Plan Monday
Posted in General Life, Menus on February 23, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Last week we actually did pretty well staying on menu-track…the only thing we didn’t have was the pork chops (and I forget why…more leftovers?). So for this week:
Monday: Spaghetti with meatballs
Tuesday: I’m at class (leftovers/Trader Joes)
Wednesday: Bible Study (eat out)
Thursday: Chicken Caesar Salad
Friday: Let’s try those rosemary grilled pork chops with stuffing and corn again.
Saturday: [...]
Freebie Shopping Trip!
Posted in Bargains, Budgeting, Deals, Fashion, Frugality, General Life on February 21, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I wish I could have days like this about once a month…that would be just right. I went to the mall today, with all the joy of a normal shopping spree. I tripped along to the house music, smelled the ubiquitous cologne-counter smells, bumped into millions of slow-walking, hand-holding teenagers, even tried on clothes and [...]

Hess (Yes, the Gas Station!)
Posted in Bargains, Deals, General Life, Notes from Me! on February 21, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This was a super-random finding, as husband and I rarely go to Hess. However, we forgot to get gas until already past our normal station, so I ended up running in for milk. And oh my goodness, nearly every refrigerator door had 1, 2, maybe even 3 coupon tear-pads on it!
Here’s what I got:
Buy 1 [...]

Match-Up Birthplaces
All the coupons you see come primarily from the Boston Globe, and often from the NH Union Leader Sunday Papers. There are sometimes slight differences, but are identical most weeks. The dates are the dates for each week's paper and the codes stand for the coupon inserts.
For example:
SS=SmartSource
RP=Red Plum
GM=General Mills
PG=Proctor & GambleI also use printable coupons from various manufacturer sites, as well as the sites coupons.com and smartsource.com. When this is the case, I'll add a link.
Finally, "tear-pad" and "blinkie" coupons are those found in the aisles at various stores...for a reasonably up-to-date list, check out the "tear-pad alert" below.
Circulars and in-store coupons can vary however. I base my sales data off of circulars and stores from the North Shore, except for Hannaford's, which I get from Southern NH.
