These are great to send in backpacks for the kiddos when they head back to school. My daughter plans to keep hers in her PE locker next year.

Got a Winn-Dixie near by??

One of my favorite grocery stores to shop at is Winn-Dixie..and not just because my husband Phil works there and we get an additional 5% off lol. They have great deals on groceries and adding coupons in the mix can really score you some savings. Go HERE to view their ad. I am posting the deals I am most interested in this week. Let me know what you are interested in and I can check to see if a coupon is out there!

Need school supplies including clothes? Get them tax free!

I was just at Wal-Mart and noticed they are already stocking the shelves full of Back To School (BTS) gear which made me think...will they have Tax Free Days this year?

As many of you Floridians already know, last year FL dropped the ball and forgot to give us our Tax Free Days..and I was VERY disappointed. Well I did a little research at the Dept of Rev site and guess what?! We WILL have one this year on August 13-15, the bad news is that it looks like clothing purchases have to be $50 or less and school supplies have to be $10 and under. Not a big deal, just make multiple purchases and keep those totals UNDER the $50 cutoff lol. HERE is the info!

For those of you NOT in FL, I dug a little further and found THIS list of states participating and more information on tax holidays. Not all states participate so check to see if yours is listed!

*By the way, thank goodness for search features because I do NOT want to try navigating a government site without it lol.

Also here are a couple of coupons you may want to print out:

Target has three new coupons available (zip 34482 if they don't show on your zip code). You can sort by School Supplies to find them quicker! My favorite part about Target coupons are that they can be stacked with manufacturer coupons to save even more! And don't forget MOST coupons can be printed twice!

$1.00/2 Multipack Sharpie Accent pens Target CPN HERE
$1.00/2 Sharpie Retractable Highligher MFR CPN HERE

$1.00/2 BIC stationery items Target CPN HERE

$1.00/1 Expo washable dry erase markers, 6 ct Target CPN HERE
$1.00/1 Expo Washable Markers MFR CPN HERE

**None of these expire before Sept so you can save them to use when all the deals start showing up!**


As I run across them I will post more school supply deals!

Need something to do with the kiddos?

It's time for Lowe's to do their Build and Grow workshop again! HERE is the info. This Saturday they are making a wooden ball and cup game! Remember these from when we were kids? Unfortunately, we have to miss this one since the girls are staying with their grandpa that day.











The next workshop won't be until 7/24 where they will be making this really cool wooden UFO with real blinking light! Definitely not to be missed!








Also try heading over to Home Depot to try out their kids workshops! I haven't taken the girls to one yet, but plan to! The next one is on 8/7 where they will be building a School Bus Pencil Organizer! Super cute and right in time for Back-To-School! HERE is the info!

Saving with my daughter...

Well, I bought Remy an internet adapter and a wireless mouse for her computer and of course neither was compatible (too advanced lol) so we took them back this morning and had a good time shopping. It's also nice to spend some one on one time together...and teach her a little about saving money!

Yea for Remy's Birthday!

My oldest daughter Remy turns 12 on July 4th. Because it is a holiday and my husband gets extra pay for working holidays we are celebrating her birthday this Friday on his day off. This way we don't have to rush our plans for the day just so he can get to work lol!

First, as I previously told ya'll, we do dinner and a movie for Birthdays versus the traditional party and presents. Because it can get pricey with five of us..okay Peanut is free lol..I like to hunt for discounts and coupons. This year I got 2 FREE movie tickets from Pop Tarts rebate, a $5 voucher for the concession stand from a Kellogg's cereal rebate to help pay for that popcorn, and today in my email I got my $5 off coupon for Red Lobster which is Remy's dinner choice EVERY year lol! I can't believe I haven't mentioned this discount before!

Red Lobster is expensive and I can't STAND paying so much (of course my child gets the Ultimate Feast lol) but since we only go once a year for Remy's Birthday I try to save as much as possible on the bill. That is why I joined the Red Lobster Fresh Catch Club! You get alerts on Red Lobster events, specials AND a Birthday Surprise in your email! The Surprise is $5/2 entrees..which while it isn't a ton of money saved EVERY little bit counts!

HERE is the info!

Now Remy's movie choice is Twilight Eclipse..no surprise there lol..and since it is already selling out at our theatre, I already turned in my vouchers and got our tickets! We are going to the 1240pm showing so we paid matinee prices (8.00/adult and 7.25/child). Using my two Pop Tart
vouchers I saved 16.00! I had another movie voucher from the Hershey's rebate I told ya'll about a while ago, but I had to use it the day of the movie and since I didn't want to chance a sell out I plan on saving that ticket for later! I paid 14.50 out of pocket for the girls..luckily child prices go up to age 11 and since Remy won't be 12 until Sunday we just made it! I was also able to swipe my Regal Cinema Crown Club card!

Info HERE!

You can earn rewards for going to the movies! Free movies, popcorn, drinks, and more! All for FREE since the card costs nothing! Besides my points from the tickets I purchased I also got 5 BONUS points for seeing Eclipse!

(check my prior posts for details on the movie rebates mentioned in this post)

Since I told ya'll I would let you know when I ran across them HERE is another great idea for ways to spend time with the kiddos during the summer without breaking the bank! FREE movies at Regal Cinemas on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 10am!

See ya'll at the movies!!
