How to store your stockpile

I thought I was crazy with the tiny stockpile I have, but I am finding that mine is pitiful compared to these. These people are crazy :) Good for them!

$.15 Notebooks at Wal-Mart

The 70 sheet spiral notebooks are on sale at Wal-Mart for 15 cents. Good for Cub/Boy Scout projects, Achievement Days, pre-school kids learning to write letters and for your kids to take to school. Glue sticks were under a sign that said 20 cents but they were 25. Crayola colored pencils $1 (these might go down to 50 cents, they did last year.)

Staples Sale

Staples Sale

Check your weekly ad or www.staples.com for the items that are on sale this week. They have 1 cent copy paper, 1 cent pencils (8 pack), $1 scotch tape, $1 4 x 6 photo paper, and $1 highlighters! Be careful, in order to get these prices there are limits per household and rebates that you must send in. I spent $35.00 and will get about $30 back in rebates!

$.99 Electrasol Dishwasher Tabs or Gel Pacs

I hope you gals got a few papers yesterday. Certain boxes of Electrasol Tabs and Gelpacs are on sale at Target for $3.49 each. There was a $2.50 coupon in Smart Source yesterday. It was only in the LA times paper Smart Source though, not the Press Enterprise. I am finding that the really good ones don't often make it to the press. They still have the Smart Source, but sometimes not the really high saving coupons. Anyway, the Newport Target was pretty wiped out when I got there. I mixed and matched and was able to get 5 for $6.48. They did have a few boxes left of the tabs and a few of the gelpacs. If you have these coupons, I would try the new Target or go bright and early after they have stocked and night and see if they have more.

**I just had a thought...I bet if you take your Target ad to Wal-Mart they will price match for you** This will be a hot item this week at Target so if you don't need anything else there I bet Wal-Mart is stocked with this item.

Real Simple

I found this on a friends blog. "Real Simple Magazine is $5 for a year's subscription right now until July 18th at Amazon.com. Usually it costs about $5 for ONE issue."


I love Real Simple. There is tons of great advice for around the house and for women in general. Normally a year subscription is $54. With this offer thats a 91% discount!

The Pioneer Woman

I found this site tonight with recipes on it. Haven't explored it much, but my though was, "um, I can barely find time to pull my ratty hair into a ponytail every weekday morning. Where does this woman find the time to do anything on this blog??"
