Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to you all! I hope you are enjoying a wonderful day full of food and family. I am preparing the entire Thanksgiving meal for the very first time today, so wish me luck :)

Beall's $10 Gift card

Be one of the first 100 customers at Beall's tomorrow and get a $10 gift card. Store open at 7 am.

*I am sure it depends on the store how quickly they run out; ours is not a very popular one and I was able to get a gift card an hour after the store opened last year when they did this!!!

Woo Hoo!!!!!

I wanted to share my good news with all of you, we are expecting Baby #3!!! We are so excited!!! My daughter and son are especially excited and arguing about whether it will be a boy or girl.

I've been so far behind in coupon shopping & sharing all of the deals with you because I've been going through the "super tired" stages of the first trimester. But now with the first trimester behind me, I am back and raring to go, and they'll be lots of baby product reviews in the future.

Total after Rebate & certificate is $3.93 plus tax for 7 games ($.56 each)

*I went today and unfortunately there were only 3 games in stock, but they said they were getting in a new shipment tonight so hopefully I will be able to do this tomorrow!

Switch Flops Giveaway!-Closed

This summer my cousin bought her first house and I was helping her pack for the big move. As we packed up her stuff, I couldn't help but drool over the number of shoes she had in her closet. First off, my husband would kill me if I had that many. Second, we really just don't have that much room in our house. Yet here I am living in Florida with only 2 pairs of flip flops to my name and my cousin who lives up north has over 10 pairs!!! No Fair. But I have found the perfect solution...SwitchFlops!

In case you haven't heard of SwitchFlops, they are an innovative, interchangeable footwear line. Basically, they are a pair of sandals that you can change the top strap on to match different outfits! It is the perfect solution for anyone who loves to change their shoes to match their outfits but like me, lack the storage space for that many shoes!


I had the opportunity to review a pair of SwitchFlops and I was very impressed with them. The soles were extremely comfortable. I wore them the first day I got them all day long and they didn't rub. The interchangeable straps were easy to change, with just a simple velcro. They straps stay on tight and you cannot tell that they are removable when you are wearing them. And of course they are totally cute and stylish looking. I love the fact that I can now just purchase additional straps to add onto the base instead of all new shoes which are more expensive and take up lots of room. Plus when these wear out, I can purchase a new shoe but still keep all of the interchangeable straps so it is only the cost of replacing one shoe.


I highly recommend purchasing the Switchflops for any shoe lover on your Christmast list this year!


Buy one:
WHAT THEY COST: $35 for LuLu; $39 for Taylor; $49 for Lilly; $12 for each additional strap WHERE TO FIND THEM: http://www.switchflops.com/ and select boutiques nationwide

Really, It's Me, not You!

As you may have noticed, I've been in a funk lately. I have to confess, I've gone shopping WITHOUT coupons, I haven't been to CVS for two weeks and I haven't updated this site for so long. I think I've just been overwhelmed with everything life has thrown my way...but I am snapping out of it, and I am back. So be prepared for lots of good deals coming your way and lots of giveaways to give you some Christmas present ideas!!
