I love to love Trader Joe’s grocery store!  The closest one to me is almost an hour away-but it’s worth the drive whenever I can make it.  Trader Joe’s truly is a unique grocery store experience!  They have alot of items that you can’t find in a traditional grocery store-at least around me :) .  Some of my favorite items to buy here are the delicious fruit leathers (like good for you fruit roll ups) and any of their yummy frozen desserts-yum!  Also, they have a fantastic AFFORDABLE wine section if you happen to be a wine lover.  I love getting to a Trader Joe’s whenever I can!

gap

I love to LOVE the GAP!  It’s hands down my favorite place to shop!  I just love everything that they make!  You can’t beat one of their “Favorite Ts” or a great GAP turtle neck sweater !  My husband Jason loves to shop here too.  From dressy to casual-they have the best!  It’s totally my style!  I just wish one was closer than an hour away!

I love to love an amazing coupon match up!  Today, the bestie and I went deal hunting and boy did we score!  See all that food up there, valued at over $50.00-I got it all for FREE!  By shopping the sales at Meijer and then using a store coupon AND a manufacturer coupon-they gave me all this food for FREE and then actually paid me a few dollars because I had more in coupon value than I actually spent!  The self check out kiosk was spitting money at me!  So they paid me to take off this food off their hands.  In total I got, 8-100 calorie packs, 2 Kool-Aid Jammers, 1 Kraft Singles, 2 Deli Creations, and 1-12 pack of Fig Newtons-all FREE!  The candles pictured are from Target, on sale for $1.66, and each at a $1.50 coupon inside-so they were .16 cents each.  I used the money Meijer gave  me to buy these for around .80 cents.  All and all a very fun afternoon at NO COST!

Noochymama has taught me everything I know!  She’s the most awesome deal seeking mom I know!  Thanks Noochymama!

coupons_logo

I love to love coupons.com!  I have really gotten into “couponing” lately.  With a little work, and a little moderate amount of time, you can really save alot on you grocery bill.  I get coupons from a lot of places, but one of my favorites is coupons.com.  They always have brands that I use, and good deals.  Lots of $1.00 coupons!  You always have to take into account the cost of paper and ink to print the coupons, but overall, I really save using this site!

yankee

Ohh, I love to love my Home for the Holidays Yankee Candle!  I am always looking for the perfect holiday scent.  I’m not a huge fan of a cinnamon ONLY scented candles or an evergreen ONLY scented candles (the typical holiday scents), and am alway trying to find a more balanced aroma.  My Home for the Holidays candle smells just like Christmas to me; warm and inviting.  It smells like cinnamon, evergreen, vanilla, nutmeg, pumpkin, and sugar cookies….all wrapped into one.  To me, it’s a must have the holiday season.  And we all know, Yankee candles are the best.  They burn forever!  I’m enjoying mine right now!

zicam

***Sadly, I heard the news on 6/1909 that this product is being recalled by the FDA****I love to love Zicam Cold Remedy Swabs!  I promise you, these are like a miracle drug!  I usually start using these at the first sign of a cold.  I really think it cuts down the time that I am sick.  I have been fighting a cold for about a week now, and failed to get these going right away.  I can tell.  I have been using them for about 2 days now and have felt exponential better since.  What was I thinking not doing this earlier this time!

I like the Zicam that you stick right up your nose.  Kind of gross, but it’s odorless and is easy to use.  I tried the oral stuff one time-DISGUSTING!  Stick with the nose swabs!

express

I love to LOVE my Express jeans!  I wear their Eva jeans, and they’re the best!  I love the shape, and they fit me great.  They also hold up over time.  I got a great deal yesterday at Express….their jeans are normally $59.99, I got them for $39.99 and then another for 1/2 off ($19.99!).  So I got 2 pair of jeans for $60.00, basically by one get one free!  Can’t beat that!  I love new jeans that fit me!  What kind do you buy?

I love to love my Crest Spin brush!  I am obsessed with dental hygiene!  Mainly I hate bad breath so I always brushing my teeth!  Lately, my teeth have been really sensitive.  They hurt all the time.  I use sensitive tooth paste, but it wasn’t doing enough.  My dentist recommended that I get a Spin brush instead of a old manual tooth brush.  Since I switched, I love it! My teeth feel better and really clean!  Happy brushing!
