Revlon Tools money-maker at Rite Aid!

Oh my gosh! I am actually posting about my shopping trip! MIRACLE!  I REALLY miss posting about my shopping trips, but sadly it’s one of the things I’ve had to give up since having baby #3. I am TRYING to get back to it, though.  I am still coupon shopping every week, I just haven’t been able to post about my sweet deals.  However, today I decided I was going to give myself the gift of posting about this no matter what.  So, here goes.

There is an awesome money-maker deal at Rite Aid on Revlon beauty tools. If you buy 2, you get $4 +UP Rewards!  No matter how much the tools cost!  I bought a set of emery boards and some nail clippers. They were priced at $1.25 and $1.45 but rang up and 75 and 87 cents.  And I got the $4 +UP!  No coupons needed! WOW!  If I haven’t had the baby with me, I would have gone back and gotten more.  Not sure what the limit is on this deal.

Here’s what I got today:

Crest toothpaste $2.99

Oral B toothbrush $2.99

Fusion ProGlide power razor $9.99

Rite Aid allergy meds for kids (generic Zyrtec) $8.99

Revlon emery boards $.75

Revlon nail clippers $.87

total = $26.58

coupons

-$3/$15 Rite Aid coupon I got for taking a survey (look for this offer on the bottom of your Rite Aid receipt)

-$1.50 Crest toothpaste today’s P&G

-$1.50 Oral B toothbrush today’s P&G

-$4 Fusion today’s P&G

-$14 +UP Rewards from last week

=$2.58 + $1.65 tax = $4.23

and I got back $13 +UP Rewards!!! 4 for the Revlon tools, 5 for the Fusion razor, and 2 each for the Crest and Oral B.

WOOT!  Hoping to go back and get some more Revlon tools maybe tomorrow.

What did YOU get at Rite Aid this week??

Royally Social

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess named Jenny.  Well, actually, there was a nerdy 7th grader named Jenny.  Who was obsessed with the royal families of Europe.  For a couple of years.  Give or take a few. Who may or may not have wanted to scratch Camilla’s eyes out when all that shizzle hit the fizzan.

And who may have gotten up at 4 a.m.on my 20th birthday to watch Princess Diana’s funeral.  Even though she had a bunch of college girlfriends sleeping over.

*Ahem*

But now, I’ve morphed into a super-busy, half-crazy, live-in-a-bubble mom.   I see very little news, I never watch real tv, just TiVo or Netflix.  Truth be told, I get most of my news from Facebook.  {the shame!}

So it barely even registered when Prince William and Kate Middleton announced their engagement a few months ago. And it really crept up on me this week that the wedding, is, well in a few hours.  Probably good and over by the time you read this!  So tonight I’ve been trying to “catch up” really quickly on all the news and plans and schedules (because if the baby wakes me up at 4:30 a.m., I might get up and watch.  But if not, then NO. That is what the aforementioned TiVo is for.)  And what I’ve found has bloooown  my MIND.

The British Royal Family has gone all Social Media on us. They’re like, “with it” and stuff.

There is an official Royal Wedding 2011 website.  And an official British Monarchy Royal Wedding “Share Your Stories” Facebook App.  And a Flickr stream. And a You Tube Channel where you can watch live, or better yet upload your own video message to the happy couple.  And of course, there’s a Royal Wedding twitter.  With hashtag #royalwedding.

Well, on this Royal Wedding eve, I must say, thanks to the savvy British Monarchy for helping me catch up on all the wedding details via social media.  I am very impressed!  For an institution steeped in tradition, you’re working this whole wedding thing pretty hard in a pretty modern way. {Insert British congratulatory phrase here.}  Well done!   And now, I may just get up at 4:30 whether the baby wakes me up or not!

Scott Naturals 4 Week Challenge – Week 3

**Congratulations to week two winner, Jacob!**

As you know (hopefully, since I’ve written about it a couple times!), Scott Naturals is celebrating Earth Month by encouraging everyone to take their 4 Week Test Drive, and try their new products out for four weeks. Additionally, they’ve pledged to give $1 to the National Wildlife Foundation for every person who clicks on this link. All you have to do is click, and they’ll donate up to $25,000!

Today I was sitting at our kitchen table, and happened to notice the tree we planted when Sam was born three years ago. It was given to us as a gift from dear friends – it was such a unique and special gift. And now, much like he has, it has grown and is so pretty! I honestly hadn’t noticed it this spring and it caught me off guard by how beautiful it is and how much it adds to our yard.

Planting the tree was a wonderful way to recognize the birth of our baby boy, and it was also a wonderful way to reduce our carbon footprint. According to Wikipedia,
“Climate scientists believe that human-induced global deforestation is responsible for 18-25% of global climate change. The United Nations, World Bank and other leading nongovernmental organizations are encouraging reforestation, avoided deforestation and other projects that encourage tree planting to mitigate the effects of climate change.”

Of course, it’s even more important to save the trees that we have already, which is where taking the Scott Naturals 4 Week Challenge comes in! If everyone did that, we would save two million trees during that time. And, if you take the 4-Week Test Drive Challenge, you’ll be entered to win a new hybrid sedan.

Win/win!

And speaking of winning, we’re giving away another package of Scott Naturals products again this week.

To enter, leave a comment about trees!

For extra entries, click here, and Scott Brands will donate $1 to NWF for YOU and/or take the 4-Week Test Drive Challenge, and leave separate comments telling us you did so.

The contest will end on Thursday, May 5 at 5p.m. EST and a winner will be chosen randomly.

To learn more about Scott Naturals, visit their website, “like” their Facebook page or follow #ScottNaturals on Twitter.

Good luck!

I received a package of Scott Naturals and additional compensation via this campaign through The Motherhood, but as always, the thoughts and opinions are my own!
