House Numbers Craft

Since Adam bought our house we have had no house numbers. We have some itty bitty ones on our mailbox but they're hard to see and since our mailbox was smashed a couple months ago they've started to peel off some.

It's a pain to have to explain to people who've never been here before how to find our house so, I wanted to make something that would be easy to see and could help people find our house easier.

I went to Michael's and got a long "plaque" type board and the numbers for our house.

I painted the plaque board black, then I painted the numbers white.

After they were both dry I hot glued the numbers onto the plaque.

The plaque board came with hooks already attached to the back so I'm hoping it'll be easy to hang up right by the front door.

30 Weeks!

Sleep: Pretty good  most of the time, toss and turn a little but nothing too bad.

Best moment this week: I just like feeling the baby constantly move! He's a big wiggle worm and definitely belongs to his Daddy :) Can not be still!

Miss Anything? Just sleeping on my back. Sleeping on my sides in uncomfortable after a while. I also miss being able to fit into my regular jeans!

Movement: Yes! He's a mover and a shaker :)

Food cravings:  Rice Krispe Treats are my recent guilty pleasure

Super Double Savings

I got up early and went to my local Harris Teeter to take advantage of their Super Double coupon sale (all coupons $2 and under doubled) and here's what I got!

There was a lot that was on sale that were good match-ups with coupons but, not a lot that we really needed so, I just got the deals that were good for us!

• The Schick razor was free (we got a coupon in the mail to try a free razor)
• Hormel Compleats Meals were free
• Smart Balance Butter Sticks were $.69 each
• Hefty bags were $.50 each
• Cheerios were $.14
• Juice boxes were $.69 (yes, I'm 5 again and wanted juice boxes!)
• Nivea body wash were $.63 each
• Kraft shredded cheese was on sale for $2.50 (cheaper than store brand)
• Enchilada sauce was $1.89 (no coupon or sale but I needed it to make dinner)

Total I spent was $13.22 and I saved $52.63 with sales and coupons!

New Product Savings

Whenever companies come out with a new product you can usually expect a good coupon to come out around the same time.

This week Kellogg's released some coupons in Sunday's paper for 3 new cereals they've come out with. They were only $.70 coupons but at both Lowe's Food and Harris Teeter they will double those coupons every day. Lowe's Food has a sale this week on these cereals where they are 2 for $5, making them just $2.50 per box. Using the $.70 coupon, which will double to $1.40, you will only pay $1.10 for each box of cereal as opposed to the normal price of $3.99! I went and picked up a few boxes for myself since I eat cereal every day and these are some flavors that I typically enjoy.

I paid $5.68 for all 5 boxes and saved $14.45 with store sales and coupons. My personal stock up price for cereal is anywhere from $1-$2, depending on what it is.

So keep your eye our for new products and coupons that are sure to come with it and you can definitely score some great prices and maybe find a new favorite product!
