*Hot Deal Alert* $0.10 Oranges!

a4

Finding deals on whole, healthy foods can be a challenge, so I was excited to snag cheap oranges at Walmart.

Buy an orange, regular price $0.35. Submit for a $0.25 rebate. Total: $0.10!

Walmart is different than most stores, because they price fruit individually (most stores do it by the pound). This rebate can be used at any store, but the price may be slightly higher.

Don’t like oranges? Last week’s deal for free bananas is still available!

Super Savings Saturday – 12/13

a5

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

This week was not the greatest. Yesterday was my birthday and it seemed like everything went wrong. My Pathfinder needed multiple repairs and new tires, so it was at two different garages for two days. Not only was it costly, it was also annoying (I hate being without a vehicle!).

After dealing with car problems, I then had a computer virus to fix! This is still a work in progress, and I haven’t been able to blog while it’s being resolved. So not fun…

Because of all these inconveniences, my mood has been terrible, causing me to get sad/mad and yell/cry over very minor problems like a burnt frozen pizza. (So ridiculous, I know…)

In addition to all of the above, I did manage to sneak in some couponing. It wasn’t as much as I liked, but I’m going to cut myself some slack.

Rite Aid:

I had a lot of UP Rewards to use from Black Friday before they expired.

Revlon emery board, on sale $1.24. I used a $1.00 store coupon. Total: $0.24!

2 Garnier cleansing wipes, on sale Buy 1, Get 1 50% off. I used 2 $3.00 Manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $3.43, plus a $5.00 Up reward, so it was a big moneymaker!

Biotrue contact lens solution, on sale $7.99. I used a $3.00 Manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $4.99, with a $2.00 UP Reward.  (Not the best price, but I needed to spend my rewards, so I bought something I use regularly.)

2 Oxy Clean dish tabs, rain check price 2/$5.00. I used a $4.00/2 Manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $0.50 each!

CVS:

2 Revlon eye shadows, on sale $1.97 (40% off). I used 2 store coupons. Total: Free!  (Coupons needed to be marked down slightly.)

Hannaford:

Gala apples, on sale $0.99/LB. I used a $2.00 produce coupon. Total: $0.37 for 6 apples!   (Only 3 are pictured because I ate the rest.)

World Peas, regular price $3.49. I used a free product coupon. Total: Free!   (Even though these are ranch flavored, they’re still pretty bad. I wouldn’t advise anyone to buy dried pea snacks.)

 

So that was my week, how was yours? Share anything you’d like in the comments—deals, thoughts, etc!

Tips For Trying To Conceive

a3

For some, trying to conceive can be easier said than done. I have a very close friend that struggled with infertility for years! She went through so much grief, mainly due to misinformation.

If you are trying to conceive, one of the most important things to know is when you are ovulating. PregnancyTips.org has great info to help discover your two, most fertile days, which is the best chance for getting pregnant.

There are several ways to know when you are ovulating:

1. Monitor your cycle with a small ovulation predictor kit. These are cheap and easy to use.

2. Use a basal body thermometer to track your temperature daily and be able to know your ovulation through a sudden drop of your temperature in your chart.

3. You can also check your cervical mucus. When you see an egg-white cervical mucus, it means that you are ovulating.

You can choose whatever tool works best for you. What’s most important is being able to accurately determine your most fertile days! Doing this will boost your chances during the all-important window of opportunity for the sperm to catch the egg.
Whether it happens right away, or takes some time, don’t stress! Think positively and enjoy your TTC journey!
