POOL FUN!!

So normally I would be on top of getting a pool right away but with moving and the summer weather coming later here in NY that it does in NC we just got one this week. I searched around for the past few weeks to find one that I liked, one that would work well for both kids. I've seen Barbie ones and princess ones which Chloe would love but that's no good for my little man lol. So Sunday morning I was browsing thru the circulars and saw Target's sales. I love Target so any excuse to go there is a good one for me, so Monday we checked it out and found the pool! It has a volcano slide, waterfall, palm tree sprinkler and an alligator ball thing (basically basketball but instead of throwing the ball in the hoop, you feed the balls to the alligator.)
The kids love it and I was definitely pleased with the $25 price tag :) 
Chloe loves sitting under the waterfall and going belly first down the slide, and Liam loves playing with all the balls. He runs around the pool, chasing after them yelling" all all all!" He hasn't gotten the "B" sound yet but its soo cute! 


Here are some pics :) 

They absolutely LOVE it!! and it makes me soo happy to watch them having so much fun together :)

Shopping Deals- 6/3/11

So I planned on updating more frequently this week and then the week got away from me, its Friday already and I haven't blogged since last Friday so here goes. 
I went to Pathmark, Target, King Kullen and Rite-Aid since my last post and got some great deals! 

This picture includes a few things that I got from Rite-Aid, Target and King Kullen
When I went to Target I got 3 tubes of Crest Toothpast for only $4.24. I was like buying 1 and getting 2 FREE, 1 tube goes for $4.36. SCORE
Then in the dollar section at Target I grabbed the popsicle thing for the kids! and the love it and for $1 we can keep making them all summer!
The Herbal Essence Shampoo was on clearance, not sure why but I'm guessing because off the funky design/advertisement on the bottle is unlike all the other bottles so I grabbed that for only $1!

I went to Rite Aid for Diapers and Gardening gloves, I had $5 off coupon for diapers plus a $3 off $15 purchase or more coupon which was a reward at the bottom of one of my past receipts. I ALWAYS get these and love them so be sure to always check your receipt. I ended up getting the 2 pairs of Gardening gloves for FREE!
I  had planned on purchasing Garnier Fructis Shampoo that was on sale at Rite Aid because I had 2 coupons that were each $1. Then I saw the King Kullen circular and saw it was on sale there too or the same price and KK doubles $1 coupons. So the sale was $2.99 a bottle and I got $2 off each bottle so they came out to 99 cents each!
The Ragu sauce was on sale at KK 2/$4 I had a $1 off coupon which doubles to $2 so got them each for $1. I also got a print out with my receipt, my next purchase of $15 or more will get a FREE gallon of milk. Which is great because with milk being around $4-$5 a gallon and the way we go through milk in this house thats a deal for me!

This is from my trip to Pathmark
I went Friday evening, they were having a special sale that was Friday ONLY.
I misplaced my receipt but off the top of my head due to sale prices and coupons, I got the 3 of the 4 boxes of fruit roll ups FREE. Pringles= FREE, Butter=FREE, Hamburger Helper was only 30 cents a box, the pasta was 77cents a box, the cake mix along with the icing(not pictured) was free, the brownie mix was 25 cents and I forget what the others were but all in all it was a good trip. Total I bought $157 worth of products and only paid $78. Thats almost 50% savings :)

I've got my circulars and coupons ready to begin this weeks shopping trip. But I've got a busy weekend ahead of me so that may wait until Monday, we'll see what I can squeeze in. ;) 

Until next time
