Are you tired of missing good deals? After yesterday’s trip to Target, I am! While shopping, I needed 2 things and both were gone because of sales they were having. It was frustrating because it’s 2 items I use regularly. And no only could I not get my normal stuff, I couldn’t even get it on sale. So sad! Well I’ll try not to let that happen again because Target does have a markdown/sale schedule. These are the days that are best for finding awesome deals at Target.
Things could varie from store to store, but this tends to be normal. In general the markdowns go 30%, 50%, & then 70% off. I’ve even seen some 90′s occasionally.

May we all get the best diaper deals…as we await that moment when they are potty trained and no longer need diapers! Are you potty training a child right now?
Recently, I heard someone say that they were proud of themselves for ordering a salad, rather than a burger and fries, from a fast food establishment they like to visit. Then, yesterday, I heard about how great fermented castor oil is supposed to be for our bodies and it reminded me that I need to give my vegetables another shot since my first attempt failed. Two days ago, I took my bi-weekly trip to Trader Joe’s and looked at the cookie butter and other packaged pastries and was reminded that every store has its variety; we, as consumers, can make healthy or not so healthy choices in wherever we go. So, whether you are making better choices at fast food restaurants or fermenting vegetables, this list is for you. Here’s to making progress on our road to healthy choices!

Where are you on the road to making healthy choices?
You can use coupons. You can mail in rebates. You can use or earn store rewards points/dollars. But, whatever you do, get your stuff for free! That’s what this list is about. With just a little bit of work, you can get some fun and practical stuff for free. And, even though a certain group of people in Washington DC has not been responsible enough to have a budget in several years, you and I don’t have that sort of luxury. So, whatever your budget looks like, I’m pretty sure “free” fits into it!

Will you go freebie shopping this week?
Is it me, or are we seeing a trend in pretty good deals on the “large pack” of diapers? It’s at least a trend in the last few weeks! So, ahem, those might be the deals you take a closer look at again this week. Of course, it’s always possible to find a better deal with an unadvertised or clearance deal in your local store. So, keep your eyes open for those. In the meanwhile, happy shopping and happy Monday!
