I signed up for Coldstone Creamery's birthday club this weekend, and I got to thinking about other places to sign up for.

Layered dessert recipe. Here is the recipe I promised. You can use any flavor pudding you like. I use either chocolate or lemon.
First layer: 1 1/2 c flour, 1 stick of butter or margarine, 1/2 c nuts, finely chopped (I use pecans). Mix together and press into a 13x9 dish. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
Second layer: 1 c Cool whip, 1 c powdered sugar, and 1 package of softened cream cheese. Mix well, add on top of first layer
Third layer: 2 packages of instant pudding, 3 cups milk. Mix, let set a few minutes, and pour over second layer.
Fourth layer: cool whip..spread cool whip over the top. You can also sprinkle with more nuts.

odds and ends...
Well, today I was on the hunt for these bracelets for my kids...they're called Silly bandz and they were featured on CBS news last night. My middle son was in here watching with us (really he was playing his DS) and he said a lot of kids at school have them and he wished he did. He's 10, by the way. So, I tell my husband later on that I want to get him some because he never asks for things like that, and I'd just like to surprise him. Supposedly, they sell for $5/pack. Ugh. Anyway, I went to Walgreens...sold out. Rite Aid...sold out. Kmart...they don't have them. Claire's..sold their last ones yesterday...she suggests Hibbett Sports. I walk down there...sold out yesterday. Guy said they had like 100 of them and they can't keep them. So, out of desperation, I call my favorite toy lady at Walmart and she says they have them...for $1 a PACK!!! I almost cried. I rush over there and they have them! The brand was different, but they are the exact same thing! I bought 2 packs for him and 2 for my youngest (who will be 6 in June) because he will have to have them if his brother does. I felt so good about it! And....he got home from school and now thinks I am the BEST MOM EVER!!!
It's been a good day.
*****************************
I went to Walmart yesterday and I got so irritated. They were marking down a lot of clearance, but just barely. $5.24 down to $4.97 or $4 that sort of thing. So, I bought very little. I found one bottle of Nivea, so I got it, then I just decided to go get me some socks and sports bras. I know...I still have my JCPenney one, but I like sports bras for weekdays. I mean, what if I'm out and just wanna take off jogging? Ok, it probably won't happen, but you never know. I could be chased by a raid dog or something and it would be a shame not to have the right bra on for running away.
*****************************
I got my Cover Girl Simply Ageless Bzzkit yesterday, too. If you aren't signed up for BzzAgent, you should!! You get free products to try and all you have to do it try them, then tell them how you like them. They're called "Bzz Reports" and you get rewarded for those, too! I'll let you know how I like these as soon as I try them out.
*****************************
Here's a neat little deal. Bring a wrapper from Kraft cheese to a minor league baseball game at Tuesday night home games and get a ticket FREE when you buy one. Read about it here.
****************************
I am going to post a recipe for my layered dessert probably sometime tomorrow or Sunday. It's so good...you're sure to love it! Have a great shopping day!

Happy...Wednesday, is it?
I posted several coupons on my Facebook page.
Sorry..I've been MIA. Sometimes I just get in THE most unsocialable moods!! I don't even know if I spelled that right.
Anyway, like I posted on FB, if you have the $5 Schick Hydro coupon from this weeks paper, use it at Walgreens. The razor is $7.99 with a $5 RR. You will pay $2.99 OOP and get $5 back.
My little transaction went like this:
1 Schick hydo $7.99
1 6pack Charmin Ultra (I needed it) $3.59
1 candy .34 (filler)
Used $5 Schick coupon
$5 previous RR
$1 previous RR
paid 1.64 (including tax, which is on the pre-coupon amount)
got back $5
It wasn't the BEST route, but I needed that toilet paper, so at least I got something I needed.
************************
I got my free box of Kraft macaroni coupon in the mail. It was the one where you get it for being a fan on FB. Facebook is really rolling coupons out. Well, I guess Facebook isn't doing it, but it's a great avenue for them. If there is a product you really like, see if they have a fan page!
Don't forget the $4 Nivea coupon from the week before last gets you free Nivea at Walmart! They were out when I was there the other day. :( I'm going back tomorrow, so I hope they've gotten some in!
I found some Reynold's wrap recycled aluminum foil at Food Lion for $1.88. I found $1 Reynold's wrap coupons in store, and got them for .88 each
There was also a $2 FL coupon on chicken when you bought a Deluxe Kraft mac and cheese plus another item: Stove Top, Velveeta Mac and cheese, or Shake and Bake. The macs at my store are $1.58, so I bought 2 and chicken that was $2.47. I used that coupons and 1 .55 on Velveeta mac. The manager had to punch something in because the coupon is coded to the Kraft Deluxe, not the chicken. In the end, it was $3.08 for all of it.
******************
Be sure to look for coupons everywhere. The blinkie machines, tearpads, etc. Often there will be a fantastic sale on the items the blinkie machines are for JUST after they take them down, so don't be afraid to take a few extra and hold on to them.

Walgreens
Walgreens is great this week.
Sure Deodorant is 2/$3 when you use the in-ad coupon. $1.50 coupons just came out this last week, so you can score FREE deodorant. You will need a filler because you will have three coupons (the in-ad and 2 manufacturer's coupons). Get something cheap like a piece of candy or if you are already buying something else without a coupon (*gasp*) it will attach to that. There were also Try Me Free stickers on some of them....REBATE!!
Pert Plus is on sale for $1.99, and $1.50 coupons just came out for that, too. .49 shampoo!
Nivea is a money maker this week if you have the right coupons! You get a $5 RR wyb $15 in Nivea products, which are on sale for 20% off. $4 coupons for women's and $3 for men's coupons just came out.
My transaction looked like this:
2 Women's Nivea bodywash- $5.59 each
2 Men's Nivea bodywash $3.99 each
used 1 BOGOF coupon from All You magazine, 1 $ women's coupon, 1 $4 men's coupon (don't know where I got it, but it was in my stash), 1 $3 men's coupon
Total: $2.57 OOP and got back a $5 RR
If you have 2 each of the $4 and $3 coupons, you can do this:
2 women's $5.59 each
2 men's 3.99 each
-
2 $4 coupons and 2 $3 coupons
total: $5.16, get $5 back..not free or a money maker, but only .16
OR if you have 3 $4 and 1 $3
5.59x2 + 3.99x2 - $12-$3=$4.16 , get $5 back
and so on...
So, depending on the coupons, this is a great deal. The bodywash is also free after the $4 coupon at Walmart, so if you miss out on this at Walgreens, you can still get free bodywash.
Irish Spring bodywash is $2.99 get a $2 RR back. .50 coupons were out, so you can get it for .49 after RR too.
Other things at WG that might interest you:
get $2 RR wyb $10 in participating Mr Clean, Bounce, Tide Stain Release, Cascade, Febreze, Downy or Swiffer products. The $3 Tide Stain release coupons work nice for this if you need them.
$1 RR wyb 3 Garnier hair products...this really isn't a good deal UNLESS like my store, there are some on clearance and you have coupons. Too bad someone beat me to it.
Soft Soap body wash is also $2.99 with a $2 RR. Get a coupon here. It's a .75 off, making it .24
Remember if you are paying with a previous RR, it counts as a coupon, so you cannot have more coupons than you do items, AND if it's from the same company as the item you're buying (for example..Soft Soap is from Colgate/Palmolive and you are using a Colgate RR) then it likely will not print a new RR. Occasionally, they will roll, but it's risky to try and find out.
