Smiths Doubling to $1 event

As you may know, Smiths is doing a doubling even this entire week (Wed - Tues). All coupons under $1 will be rounded up to $1. So those $0.30 coupons are now worth $1, $0.50 coupons are worth $1 and so forth. I went to the Smiths marketplace on 90th and Redwood this morning and found everything I was looking for in stock. The doubling part worked great. I did run into a couple items that didn't ring up for the sale price I was expecting but for the most part everything went really smoothly. I had a large list of not only coupon deals but also birthday party needs for my soon to be 5 year olds birthday party this weekend. I ended up spending $62 and saving $78!!

Target 6/21

All this for $2.87?? YES!!

I went to Target this morning and got all of the above for $17.87, I used $10 in Target gift cards that I received previously bringing my OOP down to $7.87 but I got back $15 in new Target gift cards making the total cost only $2.87!! Without sales and coupons this would've cost over $48.

Thomas Nelson Book Review - Love on a Dime

My most recent book to review for Thomas Nelson Publishing was "Love on a Dime" by Cara Lynn James. I have to be honest, I wasn't sure whether I would really like this book or not. It looked a little lovey dovey and I am not really into romance novels. However, I must say that I really enjoyed this book and was surprised how easy it was to get into it and for it to keep my interest. The gist of the book is that Lilly who is a member of the wealthy and priviledged back in the late 1800s writes dime store novels, which is completely against the "rules" of her social set at the time. Women are to depend on their husband or father for their support, not make money on their own. I really enjoyed learning more about life during that time period and found Lilly to be a wonderful character of faith and goodness even though she was surrounded by so much greed and inequality. I would recommend this book as a nice easy read, an enjoyable book with a nice message. It did kind of lag a little bit in the middle and I just wanted Lilly and Jackson to talk to each other openly but it was still a good book.
