Discounts...

Here's a fun site I just stumbled upon,
PeachyCheap .
They offer 1 scrapbooking item daily at a discount.

Another place like this is
Woot
One Day, One Deal is their thing. Great items at great discounts.
You have to check back daily as they post a new item at 11:59pm central time each night.
The variety ranges from toys to computers (or is that the same thing for some?) and other electronics too. I have bought walkie talkies, mp3 players, etc.
They have some funny writers on their blog. The product information is never just posted. They make some entertainment out of it, depending upon your own sense of humor!

Great deals at a great store!

Have you been to this store? It is my new favorite store! The prices are amazing! EVERYTHING in the store is $9.98. I just bought my girls down jackets for yes, $9.98! And they are machine washable too! You can find clothing for the entire family from the smallest/youngest to the biggest/oldest! They have summer, beach wear to business attire. Even the teenagers can find their stuff too, the store is filled with the teenagers shopping! They have school uniforms and back packs too! The store is along the lines of Old Navy. Sarah Jessica Parker has a clothing line exclusively at this store. I recently bought a pair shoes from her shoe line and they are cute and comfortable too! I just bought cute tennis shoes for Kristina, $9.98! Love it! I am all about finding a good deal! This store is at the Karcher Mall in Nampa. It is an easy stop off of the freeway now with the new exit 33A.

A Crazy Shopping Day!

To add excitement to our no school, snow day I and the 6 kids went to Walmart for a 2 hour shopping trip. It started off with everyone having some money. The amounts the children had to spend ranged from 69 cents to $21. I decided to let everyone do their shopping first. Hopefully that would make my part easier. They would have their treasure to oogle over while I did the not so fun food shopping.

All is well, for the most part. Everyone has made their selections and I am off to do the family shopping. All the while Emily is asleep, and adorable doing so I might add. Of course she is always adorable, even at 3am feedings! But I digress.

We get to checkout and each child goes through paying for their own things with their own money (mostly, mom picks up the tax or 10 cent shortfalls) and I have two carts worth of groceries and misc stuffed into one cart with a baby in her car seat on top. I send a child for a second cart and then the baby wakes up, hungry!

We get both carts and everyone out to the car and I start to load bags into the van and I see two hats sitting on top of the baby's car seat! I didn't pay for them. I was at the other end of the shopping cart, unloading groceries and then re-loading grocery bags and missed putting the hats on the table to pay for them. Meanwhile the baby is crying, very hungry after a very long nap in her carseat and I have to go back into the store to pay for the hats.

Well Jonny made my day! I was tired from shopping with all 6 kids in tow and he says to me "Mom, you go pay for the hats and I will get all the groceries into the car." I just about fell over as this is the same son who complains if he is asked to do anything that doesn't involve Legos or an video game! What a good kid! It warms my heart!
