Got a girl who looooves horses? You just saved yourself a PILE of money!

Posted by Erin (and sometimes The Todd) on Nov 29, 2009 in Unfiled Stuff


Took the twins to a birthday party for their cute classmate who is an absolute fiend for horses.  Wish I’d found this offer first–it would have saved me some moola on the gift! ;)

Okay, tell me how cute this is!  Pony–A Club For Girls–sends you a welcome package with 2 books, a “Pony” magazine and five gifts–including a cute alarm clock which “neighs” to wake you up!  You pay a whopping $1.00 plus shipping and handling, which for us was $4.95.  There’s so many cute books and different activities and sharing plans about horses and ponies, it’s really sweet.  I’m excited to see Z&M’s classmate when they give her this for Christmas!  Click on Miss Pink Rectangle above to get started.

Reason 2,003 why I must love The Todd…

Posted by Erin (and sometimes The Todd) on Nov 27, 2009 in Erin's Diatribes/The Todd's Tastes

The Todd is Head Chef and Dietician in the Collard Household.  I gladly ceded that responsibility to him after our courtship, where I attempted to lure him into my clutches by making my mother’s signature Marinated Roast.  Except–I’d been a strict vegetarian for years and had no idea what cut of meat one used.  I stood, paralyzed with horror, in front of several nicely dissected and packaged animals.  Of all things, a Rastafarian (Editor’s note: common perhaps where you live, but in Utah, we don’t see many of Jamaica’s Beloved Sons) came round the corner and paused beside me. 

“Why are you just standing here, little sister?” he asked.

“Um, I wanted to make dinner for my boyfriend using my mom’s recipe, but I’m a vegetarian and I don’t know anything about cuts of meat anymore.”

My dreadlocked friend considered this seriously.

“So, you’re cooking for your man, but you won’t EAT the meat,” he cautioned, “that’s good.  I’ll try to help you.”

So, two clueless vegetarians stared at the meat case for about 15 minutes until one of the butchers took pity on us, examined my mother’s recipe in her spiky handwriting and sent me on my way with the correct roast.

I’m pretty sure the butcher–who knew both The Todd and I–told on me, because my kindly spouse immediately took the reins (or the apron strings) from me and I’ve never had to cook again.

 lunch

 

So, The Todd is the one who packs the boy’s lunches every night, with their careful gluten and sugar-free meals.  He knows that at the lunch table the next day, their classmates will be scarfing down Lunchables and M&M’s.  He knows that Zach and MacLean are only 9, and that eating a special diet–even when it makes you feel better–sucks when your buddies are chomping Twizzlers.  So, he writes a note to pack in their little insulated bags to tell them he loves them.  That he’s thinking of them.  And The Todd’s notes take away their frustration and anxiety like he did from me before I had to admit that I stink as a cook.  And my boys eat their fat-free hot dogs and squash chips with a smile.

Holiday Bouquets on the cheap!

Posted by Erin (and sometimes The Todd) on Nov 27, 2009 in Unfiled Stuff

Grower Flowers.com has a great offer out–I was scrolling around today to find a deal on flowers for my sister-in-law’s birthday.  You can order 18 red roses, and get chocolates, a vase and a photo card for free!  Bouquets start at $29.99, and they don’t slap on a pile of sleazy delivery charges.

More deals from Old Navy!

Posted by Erin (and sometimes The Todd) on Nov 27, 2009 in Activist Mom, Charities--what's your passion? Need one?, Clearance sales

1127_WebBusters1cI’m heading to Old Navy today for the $15.00 frost-free jackets for kids–our two family shelters here in Salt Lake City filled up distressingly early this year.  Coats and underwear are always desperately needed.  Sneaky inside tip: the single most desired item at any shelter with little ones?  Diapers, sized 4, 5,and 6.  Think about it–how would you be able to potty train your toddler when you don’t have any easy access to a bathroom?

Here’s your Black Friday Roundup!

Posted by Erin (and sometimes The Todd) on Nov 25, 2009 in Resources

frenzyI figured the easiest way to do this was by the time the store opened, and then a scan of the ads.  You can make your list and know what to hit first.

Sigh.  (Mental cracking of the knuckles) here goes:

MIDNIGHT Thanksgiving Night:

Gymboree: For a limited time, you can save 25% off everything at Gymboree (prices online reflect the discount). Sneaky inside tip:  for every $50 you spend, you earn $25.00 in Gymbucks to use in January. Click HERE

CVS is open with 3 days of deals, seen here.

 Go here for the Toys R’ Us Black Friday Ads

 

4:00AM:

Target’s ready to go, here’s their ad

Go here to get a sneak peek at the Kohls Black Friday 2009 deals!

Walgreen’s Black friday ad is here: but call ahead, store hours can vary! 

JC Penney’s Black Friday ad is here:

 

5:00AM:

Fred Meyer opens with their Black Friday bargains here. 

Go here to view the Best Buy Black Friday 2009 Sales Ad

Go here to get a sneak peek at the Wal-Mart Black Friday Deals!

Go here for Macy’s deals 

Big Lots is offering up a $10 off $50 coupon here (it’s on the 1st page of the online ad).  If you shop between 11.26-11.28 and spend $50, you will receive a $10 off a $10 purchase.

Rite Aid don’t forget to print your $5/25 Rite Aid coupon to save even more!

 

6:00AM:
K Mart’s Black Friday ad is here

Gamestop’s ad is here. 

Staples has some great computer deals here.

Meijer’s got an amazing deal:  $50.00 gift card with a Wii purchase!

 

 8:00AM:

Border’s Books looks to be a better Cyber Monday deal, but here you go…

Cabela’s has some surprisingly good offers for Black Friday here. 

Emergency Essentials has a great Black Friday listing here.  (Editor’s note: dangit, I still need to get our 72 hour kits together!)

 AND ONLINE:

 The Gap is offering 50% of piles of men’s and women’s stuff, kid’s and baby coats here

Banana Republic will knock 30% off your bill for outewear and sweaters, with free shipping on any order over $50.00 here

Not finding what you’re looking for? You’ll find all the Black Friday ads on A Full Cup and coupons to go with them. A Full Cup

Others of note:  www.gottadeal.com

                                www.bfads.net

Sneaky inside tip:  don’t forget, many stores will price match, my beloved girlie at The Bargain Jargon has your info: http://www.thebargainjargon.com/2009/11/stores-that-will-price-match-on-black.html

Sneaky inside tip #2/disclaimer #1:  I know what it’s like to flip out and start grabbing things at stupidly low prices–but if you didn’t have it on your list and you can’t afford it–it’s not a bargain.  No one will curl up and die if they don’t get everything they want this year.  The whole purpose here is to give us all tools to save, but buying a bargain you don’t need is not a bargain.  Trust me, I’m repeating this mantra with you, okay?  C’mon, deep breath…serenity…calm blue ocean…

We’ll update as new info comes along.  Good luck!
