I got this today in the mail. Make sure you don’t throw away your Kohl’s flyer in the mail today. There was 3 discount cards inside and one of them is free $10 gift card. Sure am glad I looked. For those of you live in the apartment complex make sure you dig in the trash can by the mail boxes. You never know how much free money you can find. Too embarrassed to do that and need an excuse in case someone saw you? Like I told my good friend Kelly, just say “I am looking for my ring”.
Wow, a sample I really want and excited about. I use Ovaltine on JMM’s milk every morning and stick pack is just a great way to take on the road trips. Click here, like them and request your free sample.
I am overwhelmed with the gifts that JMM made at school. Hard to imaging what a mother goes through until I am a mother myself. A mother does not need money or presents from their children, just lots of hugs and kisses would melt a mother’s heart, and I am a very lucky mother to have 3 kids who are generous about giving me lots of hugs and kisses everyday. Well, except Jake. When I give him kisses he would wipe off with his hand right away. And if I show him my sad face he would maybe hold off for 3 seconds then wipe off. I picked CiCi’s pizza for my mother’ day meal. We went around 2:30 pm to avoid the crowd because I know all the restaurants would be packed today. I wanted to go somewhere that are kids friendly and JMM loves Cici’s spinach & macaroni pizza so that’s where we went. Cashier was nice to give us 3 for children 3 and under price which was only $0.99 including drink. And no, she did ask how old are the kids and we told them 4, but after she found out they were triplets she just gave me a sympathy discount which I was gladly to accept. Kids finished their Chinese Sunday class for the school year tody and they made 100 (Mia), 99 (Molly) & 96 (Jake) on their final exam last week. They also got most improvement award certificates. I guess that is just another way to tell me my kids sucked in the beginning. They really deserved the awards because I know how bad they were in the beginning and I was going to quit for them, or really quit myself I should say. I am just glad I didn’t give up and somehow found a way to make them better. They did all the work I just gave them the tool. This is truly a best mother’s day present I could ever ask for. Happy Mother’s Day to you all.
Keep reading, there is something you should know about. Went Target trying to get some Nivea lotion my coupons finally arrived. And of course all the cheaper ones were wiped out so I am just going to wait until they restock, hopefully. This is what I did: 2 Method Laundry Detergent 8 loads $2.54 each on clearance (regular $2.99)
2 Aquafresh Extreme Clean $3.00 each (Temporary Price Cut) 2 Steamfresh Vegetable $1.50 each 2 Van De Kamp (or Mrs Paul’s, depend on your area) Bake Fish $4.56
Yes you read it right. Target has promo for buy 4 Birds Eye Steamfresh at $1.50 each and get VDK fish free ($4.56 value). BUT as of right now they are working buy 1 veggie get 1 fish free. This is program error, for every bag of veggie you get one fish free. I can confirmed it as I bought two frozen veggies and two fish and my fish were taken off along with the coupons and all coupons went through no beeps. Even without coupons for every frozen Birds Eye Steamfresh you get a pack of VDK for free, that is $1.50 for both items. Yes fish is expensive and only 2 pieces in a box, but for free I am not going to complain. I buy Steamfresh anyway so free fish is bonus for me. Make sure your Target is tagged with the promo. Target by my house is tagged but Target by my work is not, and I even price checked and sure enough they are regular price instead of $1.50. I believe the deal is good until 5/19 but like everything else, Target could change it at any time. Big thanks to THong for providing this info.
Made a trip to Kroger and got some great deals I want to tell you about. 5 Jello-O Refrigerated Pudding or Gelatin $2.64 – $2.84 after mega buy 10 save $4.00

Kettle Potato Chips $1.99 mega mix & match
Skinner Pasta $0.39 mega sale mix & match (just a great price and no coupon needed) Also I have not tried this yet but I think it’s working. Buy 4 Ozarka 24 pk $2.99 each mega mix & match
I didn’t get to buy water today as my cart was full and didn’t have room for but I am going back to get them. Will report back and let you know. Here is the info on the catalina:
Wow. I went to Kroger tonight trying to get some strawberries that they have on sale for $1.50. No luck, all wiped out. I was bummed because kids have been asking for strawberries. Then I saw this huge display by the produce they must have 20+ Wholly Queso tubs for 10 for $10.00 or $1.00 each in both classic (yellow) and blanco (white). I was so excited I didn’t buy any because I know I will be going back in the morning to pickup some strawberries and at the same time, print some $1.00 coupons and get Wholly Queso for free. I like Wholly Queso much better than Wholly Salsa. These are probably over stocked for Cinco De Mayo celebration last Saturday and now they are trying to get rid of them cheap. These are regular priced well over $4.00 and if I can score for less than $2.00 I consider a great deal. For free? That is unheard of. Check your local store and see if they are also trying to get rid of their inventory. And I forgot to check Wholly Salsa, I am hoping they are also $1.00. You can print here and here for $1.00 coupons good on any Wholly product. Now I can smile at the camera and say “cheese”.
This week Target has selected Nivea on buy 3 get $5 giftcard. And guess what, those cute little Nivea creme tin for $0.87 is also included. But don’t get too excited. Buying 3 of those alone will not prompt for $5 giftcard as the total is below $5.00 and somehow Target has their giftcard programmed if total is less than $5 you won’t receive your $5 gift card. And no, buying 6 to get over $5 will not work either. There are lots of other options available for you to mix and match by using this Nivea tin to your advantage. I bought 2 tins at $0.87 each and 1 Nivea Extended Moisture lotion 1.7 oz for $3.59 (or large bottle 13.5 oz for $4.22 a much better value) to bring my total to $5.33 and got my $5 giftcard, so this come out to be $0.33 for 3 items or $0.11 each, without using any coupons. Nivea lip is also working for the deal and they are priced around $2.24 & $3.14. So you can mix and match by buying these with the tins to get to as close to $5 as possible and earn your $5.00 giftcard. There are $2.00 & $1.00 Nivea lotion coupons available on 4/15 RP & 4/29 RP so with these coupons would easily turn into money maker. You can do more than once in the same transaction but make sure you group them and let cashier scan them in the order you group them. Some stores might have already taken tag off on the tins or lip items but they are working for me this morning. If cashier scans them correctly and you know your total is over $5 but no giftcard prompted then I would suggest before the transaction ends just let cashier take them off for you like you change your mind. This way you don’t lose anything and no hassle for returning them later as well. I am expecting Target to correct the mistake sometimes next day or two about tins and lip items not to be included so go as soon as you can if you are planning on doing the deals.
This is an annual national event and really can’t be any easier. You place a bag of non-perishable food items by your mail box on the morning of Saturday May 12 and your mail carrier will take the items away and deliver to your local food bank. How easy and convenient is this for everyone? Also a great chance to clear out your pantry for the food your family don’t like and share your stock piles to make room to stock pile more new items in your pantry. You can read more about it here.
I once again signed Molly up for the 2nd annual Chinese singing competition this year. This year they did a bit different. First and final rounds were all on the same day to save the judges, parents and volunteers time to do all in one day instead of breaking down into two dates. I also signed Jake up this year as well. That was really not my intention at first because I didn’t know if he knew two Chinese songs to start with. But he did so I figured why not. Plus this year there were only total of 5 kids signed up for four year old age group and the worse he can do is 5th place, which would still be pretty good. Molly did very well this year. I think she knew what to expect this year compared to last year, plus one year older and wiser. They sung whatever their school teach them and all I did was making sure they practice once everyday. I didn’t teach them anything. Practice makes it perfect is so true. During first round Molly was to go 2nd and Jake was 5th. Then of course all 5 kids were all in the final round and Molly got to go 2nd agai and Jake was right after Molly at 3rd. Molly sang well. I was thinking at least 2nd place. And as for Jake, I was hoping for 3rd. So the result? Molly won first and Jake won 2nd. Jake totally surprised me. I would have been very happy with Jake for 3rd but he came in 2nd instead.
Honestly, Jake did okay. He didn’t have any gesture movements and he rushed his songs as well. But he was calm and confident and no stage freight at all. Somehow he just captivated the audiences attention. Maybe because he was petite and also one of the 4 boys in the age 3-6 groups among 25 other girls. Molly did much better than last year. She took her time singing and her body gestures were good and she was loud as well. As for prizes this year? Much worse than last year and they also charged admission for watching the show. Even the parents of participants had to pay but at least they made this clear ahead of time and it was only $2.00 so I was okay with that. Mia stayed home with daddy. She didn’t want to sing and I didn’t want to force her but next year I will enter all three of them into group singing at least to get Mia started. My good friend Kelly came to cheer them up eventhough she does not understand Chinese, what a trooper. Then we went for some Chinese food and of course, boba drinks afterward. You can’t complete a meal without boba drinks. Needless to say, I am a proud mom 2 times over today. |
