Monday Holidaze Giveaway: Bugalug Baby Hair Accessories

bugalug1.jpg

I am SO excited about this giveaway, because I love, love, LOVE the prize! Today’s giveaway is a $50 gift basket from Bugalug Baby! They make awesome hair barrettes and headbands for little girls. Sophie has some of these and they are phenomenal. Her Bugalug barrettes are my favorites that she has, hands down. They are very cute and they stay in like no other! They are also handmade in Canada by stay-at-home moms so its a business I feel good about supporting! As a matter of fact, Sophie is in dire need of new hair clips, so I am investing her $20 in birthday money she received in a new hair accessory wardrobe from Bugalug! And Bugalug is making it easier for all of us to do that with a 10% off coupon code for Mommin’ It Up readers! Just use the code MOMMY10 and save 10% until 12/31/08.

To enter the contest, just go to Bugalug’s website, then come back and leave a comment stating what your favorite product or pattern is! We will close comments and draw the winner on Saturday, November 29th.

Now get entering! Thanks Bugalug!

Now for my super-fun week of savings!

Target paid me to buy these

Target had a great deal on Glade holiday candles. (Can you hear the “Target Lady” from SNL saying “Halliday Cayndles!”?) If you bought 4 of them, you got a $5 Target gift card. The Glade Scented Oil Candle holders, refills and jar candles were $2.50, and I had LOTS of coupons! So I got all this in picture for about $2 profit after all was said and done! And before you start scoffing me (Emily), I am going to give these as gifts to Joshua’s Awana leaders and co-op teachers. 🙂

Now on to my first coupon love, CVS!

paid 56 cents!
I had to hit this great battery deal!
4 packs of AA batteries @ $5.99 each = $23.96
Coupons: Rite Aid $5 off $25 purchase (my CVS takes competitor q’s)
Four 75-cent off coupons
Total $15.96 before tax
I paid with a $15.99 ECB adjusted down to $15.96, and got back 15 ECB for buying the batteries!

Next up: MORE GLADE! This time at CVS instead of Target!

got paid to buy Glade by CVS this time

1 Vaseline lotion $5.99
Two Glade plugins fans $7.99 each
Two Glade refills $3.99 each
