Express. My favorite place to shop!

I, like most women, love to look my best. But I, like most moms, don't have the funds to just run out and buy whatever I please. I have to shop smart. One way that I have found to do this is by shopping Express. It's my favorite store, especially for jeans. My back end is big..seriously. So I just can't buy any jeans off the rack & expect them to cover the junk in my trunk, know what I mean? I've been buying their clothes for years (saving up and splurging only a couple of times per year) until the last few months I've realized it's just like grocery shopping. Combine a sale w/ a coupon for the biggest savings.

For instance, I went in last week & purchased 5 items.
2 necklaces (fillers to reach $75.00) and 3 blouses. My total before tax was $82.57.

**Don't have a heart attack here, I did not pay that much!**

I had a $30.00 off $75.00 purchase that I get in the mail ALL the time. Seriously, they come every few weeks. This brought my total down to $52.57. Then I had a $40.00 gift card from a return a while back. My total OOP cost was $12.57 + tax. Now, I know that you all didn't have a gift card lying around, but here's the great part...stapled to my receipt is a $25 off my next $50.00 purchase made between July 5-25th. Today in the mail I received (yes, again!) a $30.00 off $75.00 purchase valid between now & Aug 1st.

Sometime this week I will go by & do the following:

Purchase $80.00 worth of clothes (before taxes)
hand over my $30/75 mailer bringing my total to $50.00.
Then my $25/50 express cash I received for prior purchases.
My total should be $25.00 + tax.

I have done this deal several times before, but I will report back if I have any problems. Generally they do not consider both of these items coupons (maybe because I "earned" my $25/50 for prior purchases?)

Makes for a pretty sweet deal...maybe some jeans & a blouse?

Free summertime fun!

The kids and I just got home from an awesome trip to the Splash Pad in Gardendale. It was a lot of fun! Especially for our little one who can't swim yet. It was small enough that I didn't have to stay on "high alert" like usual when we are in a public swim place. There wasn't anything for the kids to get hurt on and everyone there seemed so nice. Did I mention that it was free? It doesn't get any better than that. :)
Pack up the kids and check it out. It's open Tuesday - Sunday 10:00 am until dusk. They have picnic tables and restrooms facilities.

Chick-Fil-A event on July 9th, dress like a cow & get a free meal!

On July 9, 2010 head over to Chick-fil-A dressed as a cow and you will get a FREE combo meal! If you would prefer to just wear partial cow attire you will get a FREE entree Go HERE for more info.

Last year some friends of ours had a great idea to slit a "neck hole" in the bottom of a white kitchen trash bag, paint on a few black spots with Sharpies or paint & make a cow nose out of contruction paper and yarn. It was adorable!!! A fun craft plus a great lunch for free! For my crew that would save around $25.00!

Thanks I heart saving money!
