Yippee!  There were some items incuded in the sale that we use all.the.time. that I wanted to get, like Capri Sun Roarin’ Waters for Joshua’s school lunches!   Here’s what I got for just $26.43!

**One note: I had three $1/2 Capri Sun coupons, ALL THREE were sent to me by Kroger in Kroger mailers!  So if you haven’t already, go to Kroger.com to register your Kroger Plus Card – create and account so you can start getting these great coupons in the mail too!

I saved 60% – my bill was almost $60 before the Mega-Event savings and coupons came off my order. Of COURSE, I got all my coupon match-ups for this sale from my dear friend Andrea at Savings Lifestyle, so check out her Kroger posts so you can get your shop on!

I Heart Swagbucks!

If you’ve been reading blogs for awhile you’ve probably heard about Swagbucks.  But what IS it (or what are THEY?)  Swagbucks are points you earn for using Swagbucks.com to search the interwebz in place of your usual search engines.  Then, you can redeem said points for prizes!  I love Swagbucks because you can redeem them for Amazon gift cards.  I just got Sophie a play-doh set and three sets of flashcards for $5.09 shipped because I had $20 in Amazon gift cards that I earned through Swagbucks. WOOT!  And all I did was search the internetz like usual, and every once in awhile read the Swagbucks blog to see if they have posted any free codes, which they often do.

Fridays (that’s TODAY!) are Mega-Swagbucks days every week, when you can win Swagbucks in even larger quantities than usual just by signing up.  So head on over to Swagbucks.com to sign up and start earning!  And let me know if you have any swag questions!

Lemon-y Fresh

I’m guessing this look familiar to all of you:

I remember classic Pledge in the yellow can from my childhood, and I use it in my house now.

Well, I should say, I use it on the rare occasion that I dust. Which, unfortunately, is not all that often. But when I do, I just love the smell – it makes everything so fresh and clean.

When I was asked to try out Pledge, the info I received said it could be used on wood and cabinets (of course), but also on stainless steel, granite/marble and leather as well.

I will admit – when I saw the Pledge-shaped box come in the mail, I expected to pull out a brand new probably not improved super duper all purpose hybrid version of Pledge. I was surprised to find that Pledge is the same as it’s always been… it was my own misconception (Pledge = wood) that kept me from using it on the other surfaces of my house.

So let’s review – Pledge says it can be used on wood/cabinets, stainless steel and granite. Coincidentally, I have all three of those surfaces right in my own kitchen.

I tried it out (and really, it felt weird spraying Pledge on my stove and counter tops!), and I was immediately impressed. The Pledge took off the smudges on my cabinets that were left from the installation (I was going to get around to it anyway, ahem), took the fingerprints off the stainless steel range (and the oven door) and made my granite counter tops gleam. (It also cleaned my old white refrigerator doors, which was great because I’m hoping that if the doors are shiny and pretty no one will notice the weird brown substance that’s recently started leaking from it.)

Was that an over-share?

Anyway… Three surfaces – one can… a name (and a scent) you can trust. Also? It costs less than $5. I looked it up. That is hard to beat.
