Southside Elementary Fall Festival

If you happen to be at the Southside Elementary School Fall Festival tonight, be sure to check out the Cake Walk and Bingo!  I put together a few gift baskets and I am so proud of how they turned out!  I had gotten five boxes of brownie mix FREE earlier this week at Kmart (thank you double coupons!) and picked up a pan and vegetable oil at the Dollar Tree to create these adorable baskets for the cake walk!  And I am in love with the "travel size" basket for bingo (wish I'd made more of those)!  The pink basket is filled to the brim with feminine health and beauty items!  Of course, the blue basket has all the masculine health and beauty items any guy would need!  If you're lucky enough to win one of those baskets in bingo, you won't need to buy body wash, shampoo, toothpaste, or razors for at least a month!  If you've never used Shrink Wrap Gift Basket bags from the Dollar Tree, you just have not lived!  Those things are amazing!  I used cookie tray bags for the Brownie Mix Baskets and they were the perfect size for that little cake pan!  The Easter style basket was a little tall, but I managed to get the bag tied!  What do you think?  Are they worth playing for?  I think they are awesome!

Above, the "travel size" basket.  I used a Scotties tissue box as my base and just started sticking things to it with double sided tape.  I made a second layer out of a mini-first aid kit, a travel size Secret Clinical deodorant, a small box of Kotex liners, and a travel pack of shout wipes.  I had a couple packets of Tide so I put them in the little opening which gave the basket just the right amount of height.  That basket is just dying to go on vacation!

Don't forget the Nabisco Cookies & Milk Coupon Tomorrow!

This is an early reminder to keep an eye on the Nabiso Cookies and Milk Facebook page this Saturday, October 1st.  There is usually a coupon available on the first day of the month to save on Milk and Cookies.  The September coupon wasn't available until around 11 am on the first, so set your alarm or make yourself a note!  What's your favorite cookie?  I think mine has to be Nutter Butters!  Yum!

Home Made Simple: Total Desk Clean Out

A good blogger would probably take a picture of their messy desk and include it in this post....but I am just not going to subject you to the mess that is my desk.  And I really thought I cleaned it off the other day!  I don't know where all this stuff comes from, I really don't!  But, I am going to challenge myself and use some of the suggestions from the Home Made Simple: Total Desk Clean Out article.  I like a lot of the ideas, even love the clipboards on the wall.  It all sounds like a great project for a rainy day!  And to top it off, I saw a post on Pillow Thought today that I really liked!  She made her closet into a mini-office of sorts and I am dying to mimick it!  I love the idea of hiding it all behind closed doors!  While you're checking it out, be sure to "like" Pillow Thought on Facebook!

Missed the Little Debbie Coupon

I hope you were more lucky than me!  I missed the Little Debbie coupon on Facebook!  But, there was a post telling us to expect another coupon next week!  I just wish they'd posted a day and time!

UPDATE:  It's Thursday at 9:52 pm and I just got this email from Little Debbie: 

Launching today, we have a limited number of coupons available to print for our delectable new Chocolate Chip Brownies. Simply visit Facebook.com/LittleDebbie and 'like' us to print your 55¢ coupon. Current and new fans alike will have the same opportunity to enjoy the savings!
Does anyone else think they were a little late sending out that message!  No worries, I prefer the Walnut Brownies any day!

Culinary Crafts: My Life According to Maxine

After reading this week's Culinary Crafts: My Life According to Maxine, I just couldn't help but wonder what good ol' Maxine would have to say about couponing?  Especially Extreme Couponing!  I'd probably have to cover my ears!  But wouldn't that make a funny Hallmark card?  Don't they say Hallmark makes a card for everything?

I wish I could draw, but I can't, so use your imagination.....Picture a little house with a little lady in front of it, then beside that there's a huge house where she keeps her stockpile...she had to build the bigger house to hold the stockpile....and it would say Stockpile = $30,000...Paid = $300........
New House for Stockpile = $150,000.......
Never running out of toilet paper = Priceless
 
Be sure to check it out on Leigh's Culinary Crafts blog or on iSurf!

If you've been trying to find the Pepsi printables available on SmartSource, here is a good link for you courtesy of Southern Savers!

After printing my coupons, the browser redirected to the Stater Bros. Market website, and I have no idea why!  But, hey, the coupons printed!
