Harris Teeter Trip, 9-6-11

Posted on September 7, 2011 by Ken

Hello again everyone! I’m posting a couple of my latest deals tonight and I will probably post something about my weekend with my grandson later today!

Today, I want to show you a deal that might not blow you out of the water but it will demonstrate that you don’t have to get everything for free to get a great deal!

Here’s what I got today:

This is not a huge transaction but it was one I wanted to take advantage of before the sale ended today. These 7 items cost me $7.02. That may not sound like a great deal but if you think of the price of these items normally, this is an excellent deal!

The sugar is normally $3.99 each and the Canadian Bacon is normally $4.69 each. The Playtex is normally $5.29 each. At normal price, these items would have cost $31.33. At sale price they were $18.06. I saved $11.40 with my coupons (and one eVic coupon). So, this was really a great deal for $7!

I’ll post more later as I see a few good deals for this week and a possible great deal at CVS tomorrow!

Have a wonderful day everyone!

My Target Trip From Saturday

Posted on September 7, 2011 by Ken

Hey everyone! I have had a long and busy Labor Day weekend and it is finally coming to a close. Tomorrow is doctor appointment day and back to work also! :-(

I’d like to post a couple of deals before I go to bed tonight. First off is my trip to Target on Saturday evening. We had went there earlier in the day and I saw a deal I could do but I had to get my coupons from home first (I had to clip some from my file). So, here is the deal:

This was my Febreze deal! I noticed that Febreze was on sale for $2.50 each and that when you bought 5 you would get a $5 gift card. With my $1/1 coupons this made this a deal where I could get each one for $.50 each! Not too bad a deal!

Since the P&G coupons state that there is a limit of 4 like coupons per transaction, Trina and I each did a deal and split it up. Trina got 3 Air Effects and 2 Set & Refresh. I got 3 Set & Refresh and 2 Air Effects. We also each got our limit of 4 on the Cascade Complete trial size pouches.

So, the total before coupons was $32.76 and after coupons was $4.76. I had $.03 overage on each one of the Cascade so my $5 total was brought down a little. Even better was that we were able to use the employee discount and bring it down a little more. With tax and all we paid roughly $4 for all of it!

Sometimes the best deals are spur of the moment deals that you work up without any kind of blog help! :-)

Thanks for letting me share everyone! :-)

Still Evaluating

Posted on August 30, 2011 by Ken

I’ve been rethinking my blog lately. It seems I do this quite often but I am very serious about this. I don’t want to see this die but I also realize that I am not as involved in genealogy as I used to be. This is not because of a lack of desire so much as a lack of time. Things have just been so hectic lately.

I think I have come to the conclusion that this will soon be transformed into a “Personal Blog” as compared to a “Genealogy Blog”. That is just a simple way of saying that I plan on not limiting myself to one single subject.

I’m still working out how I want to do this but I will do it. I’ll still post thoughts about genealogy and such but now I will post my other hobbies, family, current events, random ramblings, etc…

Thanks for all your patience with me!

Decisions Are Being Made

Posted on August 23, 2011 by Ken

Hello everyone!

It’s hard to believe that it has been over 3 months since I posted here! It seems life gets so busy and I rarely have time for genealogy now but I hate to see my blog die!

I’ve been brainstorming ideas about how to handle my blog going forward. I must be honest, I have no plans on being a full-time genealogist right now. There is too much going on in my life right now! I don’t want to kill off my blog either. So, I’m trying to figure out the best way to proceed.

Ideas and suggestions are welcome. I’m always open to new ideas!!!!

Be patient with me while I do this. I know most of my readers (if there are any) are my family and that is who the blog was mainly aimed at in the first place. I’ve got several ideas but I want to make sure I have the right plan in place before going forward.

I’ll try to make sure that it doesn’t take 3 months this time! :-)

Have a great day everyone!

Ready To Get Back To Blogging!

Posted on May 11, 2011 by Ken

Hi everyone! :-)

I just wanted to post a message and let you all know that I will be back to blogging soon (actually this is my start!). I’ve been busy with my move and getting set up. Of course I also have a full-time job!

One thing I should mention is that I will probably post a little less often than before. I’ll try to make the posts a little more thought out though.

I’ve changed the format of my other blog (personal blog) to reflect what I am trying to do now, save money and earn rewards to help us out financially. I’m trying to get back in to couponing (not extreme) and I am doing a couple of rewards sites to help me out with some other things.

So, I hope you are all doing well and I look forward to sharing my research with you again soon!

Now back to my 471 blog posts I have to catch up on! :-)

Ken
