Winn Dixie

I generally never shop there but today on the radio I heard something that made me want to stop.

Here is the deal (which is good till the 5th and is 1 deal per transaction):

Buy 2 Tombstone Pizzas for $11.58 (kind of pricey but....)

and get the following free:

Winn Dixie 10.5 oz Garlic Bread Sticks
Farm Rich 10 oz Mozzarella Sticks
2 Liter Coca Cola Product
48 oz Breyers Ice Cream

Yes, you get all of the above for $11.58!!!

The manager (whom was checking me out) even told me (without me asking) that you can do seperate transactions if you want more than 1 deal. I have a very small freezer so that won't work for me. :(

When was the last time you went out to dinner?

If you are like me it has been a very long time. Maybe you are too busy, can't get a sitter or just can't afford it. I know these days I cannot. Not that prior to me becoming a mommy I went out a lot. Though compared to now it sure seems like I always was going out to eat. I have taken my son out to eat a few times but it is rather difficult especially if it is just the two of us. If someone else tags along it makes it so much easier!!

Restaurant.com does help a lot with the price though. You can score loads of gift certificates for dirt cheap from them. They always have some sort of special going on. I know I have purchased them many times as gifts for people and for myself throughout the last few years. Easy to do just go to their website, put in your zip code and see what they have to offer (always read the fine print on each one since they differ) and you can score yourself a cheap night out. Well, a cheap dinner anyways. Too bad they didn't have gift certificates on there for babysitters.

If you notice on the side of my blog there is a widget (JuiceBox Jungle) with a survey asking which you would prefer: Going out with your SO or your friends? Who would you choose?

Wags

This was 3 different trips. I am making one more trip tonight to get some more that I should have got when I was there. But thought I already had those ones. These will be used as an incentive for potty training.

3 trips for a total of 10 Hot Wheels Total = $5.42 (total for all)

There is a Wags coupon (in sales flyer) that makes them .49 cents each. Regularly $1.29 ea.

Would have loved to do the Zooth Toothbrush deal but none of the stores had any as usual. Same goes for CVS with the Thermacare which would have come in handy since I go through those things like crazy.

Publix

Went and bought more stuff at Publix.

I bought :

3 Nivea @ $3 ea = $9 used (3) $1 off coupons = $6

Cover Girl Puffs $2.49 used $1 MC off and $2 off Publix Coupon = + 51 cents overrage

Cover Girl Sharpner $2.49 used $1 MC off and $2 Publix Coupon = + 51 cents overrage

Goody Bobby Pins .99 cents used $1 Publix Coupon = + .01 cents overrage

Revlon Nail Files $1.69 used $2 Publix Coupon = + .31 cents overrage

Total before taxes and coupons = $16.66

The coupons added $1.34 in overrage.

Total after taxes and coupons = $5.33

Not too bad.

Want to see how much $ you will actually bring home if you get a raise etc. ?

Go here. It takes out the taxes for you so you can see how much your paycheck will be if you get a new job, raise or work more or less hours.

I was trying to figure out how to calculate your federal withholdings and I could not figure it out. It differed so much depending on hours and I tried to figure out the % but it changed per hours. Then I found this and it worked!!! It was only like 40 cents off on the many and many paychecks I compared it to. Awesome!!

Here is the info.

Wags

I bought tons of chocolates for last minute Xmas gifts. Spent over $25 and received the $5 Christmas Bucks which I will use for diapers.

I didn't really get any good deals just bought them cause I needed them so I won't bother with listing what I got and how much I spent.

An Open Letter to MSN

Please stop changing the homepage. It is very annoying to get used to it and then have it change. This is the second time in I believe less than 2 years. Not too mention that now every time I go online all of my info is no longer there (ie. my zip codes for the weather are now all NY - I could care less what the weather is in NY).


I am now going to change my homepage to something else because I am sick of having to constantly redo over and over my settings.

Sincerely,
An Annoyed Ex MSN Homepage User




**Anyone have any suggestions for a new homepage? Thanks!!

Need photo editing software?

If so I would suggest downloading Picasa (it's free too!!).

I have been using it for years now and I really like it. It is super easy to use. I just realized the other day that it actually has a retouch feature (if only I saw this years ago). And it is simple to use and actually works! My son without fail everytime he is supposed to get photos done has some sort of scratch or bruise on his face. Recently he got Xmas photos taken at school and yep, he had various blemishes of one sort or another on him. So I get the photos back and I wasn't too happy. Well, I scanned them and then used the retouch feature and ta da! no more blemishes!!

Anyways I just noticed that feature the other day and wanted to let you all know that this is good software and you can actually get rid of pimples, bruises etc. on your photos. Here I thought I was going to have to buy Photoshop. It is under basic fixes and it called retouch.
