But today, I scored my greatest deal yet...so good, it's almost unbelievable! This deal totally just made my week and although you may not be able to get your OOP as low as mine (since I started out with two gift cards in hand), I'll show you how I did my deal exactly and you can still score a great deal even without the gift cards at the starting line...</p>
<p dir="ltr">For starters, if you're registered at Target like I am, view your registry online and print it out. At the top of the first page you should see a coupon offer to receive a $10 Target gift card when you purchase $50 in baby products. PLUS, Target is running a deal that when you purchase 2 qualifying baby products, you'll receive a $10 Target gift card, no coupon necessary. </p>
<p dir="ltr">If you do not have a Target Baby registry, simply create one and put a few items on it and when you select the print option, you too should see the coupon to receive the gift card as listed above. </p>
<p dir="ltr">OK so here's the part where I started out a little ahead of the game. As I mentioned previously, I already had my baby registry created with Target and had received a free $20 gift card in the mail from Target as a thank you because Target is awesome like that :) I also had a $6 gift card I received from a prior promo deal I did in store a month or so ago and I had been holding on to these gift cards just waiting for a super deal opportunity like this. Also, already in hand, I had a 15% off your registry coupon which Target sent me via mail as well and these items were already listed on my registry. So with $26 in Target gift cards, the registry coupon for a $10 gift card with $50 purchase, and my 15% off registry coupon, I was ready to go...</p>
<p dir="ltr">I grabbed the following:<br>
1 - Size 2: Huggies boxed diapers $24.99<br>
1 - Size 3: Huggies boxed diapers $24.99<br>
1 - Huggies Natural Care wipes $1.97</p>
<p dir="ltr">I used the following coupons:<br>
1 - $10 GC wyb $50 in baby TQ (Note: Be sure to present this coupon FIRST) <br>
2 - $4.50/1 Huggies boxed diapers MQ<br>
1 - $1.50/1 Huggies boxed diapers via Target Mobile Coupons<br>
1 - $1.50/1 Huggies boxed diapers TQ (received in Target registry gift pack coupon booklet)<br>
1 - 15% off Registry TQ (took off $6.05 for me)<br>
1 - 5% off Huggies wipes via Target Cartwheel <br>
Used $26 in Target Gift Cards<br>
Paid balance with my Target Debit card and received 5% off for being a card holder (took off $0.39 for me) <br>
Paid $8.60 OOP<br>
Received 2 $10 Target Gift Cards</p>
<p dir="ltr">I then submitted my receipt thru Ibotta and redeemed the Kimberly - Clark deal for purchasing 3 of their brand products and received $3.00 cash back in my account. (Note: you must purchase three different products to qualify, hence why I purchased two different sized diapers)</p>
<p dir="ltr">So after the cash back and the gift cards, it's as if I got all three products for free plus $14.40 in my wallet to boot!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Like seriously, this deal was awesome!!! And even without the gift cards to start out with, you could pay somewhere around $35 bucks (depending on your coupons & if you've got any gift cards, your OOP could be higher or lower) and after receiving the $20, it would be like paying only $15 bucks for all three items. Still a great deal in my book!</p><p dir="ltr">Sidenote: I've also heard word that some people received Catalina coupons at the register for purchasing Huggies products, I wasn't that lucky but I'm surely not complaining :)</p>
<p dir="ltr">*will post link to the high value Huggies coupons as soon as I locate it again<br><br><br></p>

Here are my fav inspirations...<a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/Aezh4Ak6fEAuZyrwbJs7T2MgbE5goRryHxuD4q6Z2w6SOI1c_0yH-tU/">#1</a>...<a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/16818198581669628/">#2</a>...<a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/243687029812292629/">#3</a>.<br>
<br>
I have been wanting to create one for our living room ever since then and promised myself I would once the weather warmed up....but at 7 months pregnant, I needed a little help, *insert husband here* :-)<br>
<br>
So with a little coercion...bit by bit...I managed to get the hubby to build us our own coffee table, despite his lack of interest, and doubting the whole idea all together...in the end he impressed even himself and was so proud of our creation, so much so, I caught him bragging and even visiting Pinterest WITHOUT ME and wanting to make more creations! <br>
<br>
I tell you, we adore this thing...and best of all, it cost us absolutely nothing!<br>
<br>
Here's how we did it...<br>
<br>
First things first, I gathered pallets from work (for free of course)...then we just used tools and some old paint that we already had on hand.<br>

<br>
At first, we tried to follow some of the instructions we found on other blogs but quickly ditched those ideas after unsuccessful attempts and pretty much just winged it and made our own custom creation. We took the nicest of the pallets and cut off the two end boards to bring the table down to a desirable size to fit in our space. Then we sanded down the whole thing to make it smooth enough to not cause injury (splinters anyone?) Then we took the two end boards we cut off previously and cut them into four even sections to act as our table legs, then we simply drilled holes and screwed them onto the table top and viola! We had a table...and after a good double layer of black paint, we now have this beautiful piece in our living room...what do you think? Isn't she lovely! <br>

And the best part is it's the easiest thing you could possibly do. I kid you not. I found out about this perk directly through my insurance program. However, I was a little skeptical after doing a little 'google research' which turned up a lot of frustrating stories of having to jump through hoops to get it or not being able to find a vendor but from my personal experience, I found the complete opposite to be true. The whole process, from order placement to delivery, took barely 4 days which even included the weekend, which is superb! Here's how the process went for me:</p>
<p dir="ltr">1st: I obtained a prescription through my doctor during my regular prenatal  appointment this past Friday.<br>
2nd: I obtained a list of vendors by calling my insurance company and I chose to use Edgepark as I had seen a couple of reviews on them with positive experiences.<br>
3rd: I visited the Edgepark website as listed on my insurance documents, which simply  asks you what state you live in and your insurance provider in order to verify the partnership and show you your breast pump options. For me, there were six choices which included the Medela Pump In Style Advance system that I had  been eyeing which was exciting to say the least. I made my selection, entered my information, and placed my order that Friday evening.<br>
4th: I immediately received an order confirmation which  included information on where to submit  a copy of my prescription for quick processing (or they would obtain it for me on my behalf but processing time would be extended) I simply used my CamScan app on my phone and emailed a copy as instructed.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Result: My order shipped the very next day and I received it at lunch time on Tuesday. Even my husband was impressed to see the delivery come so soon and I never thought I would be this excited about pumping! Lol</p>
<p dir="ltr">Here's a look inside my package which is valued at $179.00 and I paid $0.00 [outside of my insurance premiums of course :)]</p>
<p dir="ltr">So ladies, please be sure to check with your  provider to see if this perk is included in your plan before shelling out hundreds of dollars!</p>

Especially the 15% off Burlington Baby Depot coupons which I might have been a little too excited about lol #DontJudgeMe :) Anyways, here's a look inside my bag...<br />

And let me just say I wished the process worked as easily as Amazon advertised but unfortunately I never got the email as indicated BUT let me scratch all that out by saying Amazon's customer service is AMAZING! I used the chat feature to reach out to them and they hooked me up with the information I needed without hesitation. Amazon rocks! And so does this gift box! Let's take a look inside:<br />

After creating your registry, you should receive an email in 1-2 days with instructions on how to redeem your free gift box. I, myself, just signed up for Amazon Prime on their 30 day trial and enrolled in Amazon Mom and created my own baby registry in hopes of being able to snag a free box. If I do get one, I will certainly show you a peek inside with an update…stay tuned. If you too are interested in this nice freebie, you can enroll in Amazon Mom <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/mom/signup">here</a> if you aren’t a Prime member already - Amazon offers a free Prime 30-day trial if you have never used it before, otherwise enrollment in Prime is $99 a year. <br />

This program really is an ingenious creation that puts them back on the map so to speak. With the Savings Catcher program, Walmart does all the work of ad-matching for you, something that I have never much had the patience for to begin with, and when they find a lower advertised price at any of the local competitors in your area, they give you the difference on a Walmart eCard! Which is really awesome and really couldn’t be any easier to use: Just shop Walmart as you normally would with any coupons you might have, then simply scan/enter your receipt via the Walmart App or online <a href="https://savingscatcher.walmart.com/">here</a> and that’s it! Walmart does all the work to compare ad prices of the surrounding competitors and once complete, they will notify you that any difference has been added to your account. You can transfer your balance to your eCard immediately or let the funds accumulate and transfer whenever you are ready.<br />

Sure you are spending the money up front initially but you are saving time and energy by not having to browse all the store ads in the Sunday paper and fiddle with ad-matching yourself and you are getting the best prices without having to “stop at Kroger for these items and then Food Lion for those items and Martin’s for another couple of items”….and if you’’re a regular Walmart shopper anyways then it’s a total win-win!

a quick baby freebie you can score without much effort. Target offers a
free baby registry gift pack to everyone who creates a baby registry
with them. You can do this online or in store and once you’ve added even
just a few items to your registry, just show an associate at the guest
services desk a print out or screenshot on your phone and they will gift
you with a pack filled with goodies like the one I received below...</div>

Ok,
so I’ve been a member of <a href="http://www.shopyourway.com/">Shop Your Way</a> for a long while but have never
much taken advantage of the benefits of the program...until now! </div>

What is
<a href="http://www.shopyourway.com/">Shop Your Way</a> (SYW) you ask…well, it’s a FREE reward program of sorts for
Sears, Kmart, and other affiliated brands under that umbrella where you
earn points on every purchase that can be redeemed on future purchases
much like a coupon but the greatest thing about SYW is that they often
hand out “surprise points” (READ: FREE MONEY) to their members. For
example, $5 off in points on a $5 clothing purchase, $7 off in points on
ANY purchase, $10 off in points on a $30 purchase, etc., and although
I’ve been aware that you could essentially get something for free with a
surprise points deal like $5 off in points on ANY purchase, my
thought was always "there really isn’t anything less than $5 that I would
want to take advantage of" so I've let a lot of surprise points slip away but guess what I’ve recently discovered…baby items
often are! And with that realization, my new obsession is born lol </div>

These twelve items are valued at $126.91 according to their respective retailers but with sales, some promo codes I found on <a href="http://www.retailmenot.com/">RetailMeNot</a>, and a bunch of random surprise points, I paid $3.95 for all of the above and remembered to use Shop At Home to get a total of $2.26 cash back, which means I paid just $1.69 for everything you see; a savings of $125.22 or nearly 99%...insane right!?</div>

<br />
In celebration of Krispy Kreme opening their 1000<sup>th</sup> shop they
are giving away free original glazed doughnuts to everyone who stops by
any of their participating shops on 2/24/15.<br />
<br />
So if you are lucky enough
to have one nearby then stop by tomorrow and snag yourself a free
original glazed doughnut.<br />
<br />
This will be a deliciously easy task for me as
I have to drive by a shop every day on my way to and from work…you
could imagine the amount of will power it takes me to not stop by every
day! Lol…ENJOY!<br />
