Saving on healthy foods?

On huge problem these days is that junk/crap processed food that tastes so good and is 100 times worse for us is so much cheaper then the good stuff and there are always coupons for them. There are two solutions to this:

        1. Price Match
                -Walmart will price match any competitors price right at the register, you dont even need the add of the item you want to price match. 
     
        2. Bountiful Baskets
                -Bountiful Baskets (BB) is such an amazing thing I can not praise it enough. BB is a Co-op that is free to join. Each Monday you go on their website and order your basket which is 16.50 for a full large laundry basket full of fresh produce. They also offer an upgrade to a organic box option at an additional price. They have extras too like Coconut Oil, Fresh tortillas, bread, cookies, granola, large boxes of produce that are great for canning, it is always different so it is a surprise every week. The only catch is if you do not like that you dont get to pick out your own fruit and get just what you want then you will not like BB. Every week the produce is different which I love because my family has now eaten/tried so many new veggies that I never would have bought had I gone to a store. I love it and the people that are there every Saturday morning at 5:20am to help sort the veggies and fruit, Note: you are NOT required to go and sort the produce I just do it because I love it and love talking to my friends, you just have to show up and get your delicious produce.  
They have many different sites in many states so just check out the website to see if there is a site near you. 

Hope this helps even a little. Have a great day!

Ways to Save!

Its a new year and everyone has there goals set and ready to go, to help you out with your spending goal here are some of the deal sites I love! Hope you all enjoy these as much as i have! They are all completely FREE to sign up for with no purchase necessary!

These sites have new deals added every day so there is always something new to look at!
My go to site is Totsy!
 They have these blowout deals every so often and just recently I ordered a full size violin for $32, it was well over $100 originally! I have also bought some amazing socks, tights and leggings for my girls at a fraction of the original price. So sign up its free!!

Next we have Zulily!
Zulily is just like Totsy and they often get similar items but they are always a little different in prices. I got our girls a Trampoline last year for Christmas and they love it!

 Plum District is another one that I have used once and it was great!

Then there are your most common you have heard of which are

Target Savers

Now for coupons there are a few different sites to choose from the number one site is

Coupons.com

redplum.com 

SmartSource.com

Target.com and don't forget that with target you can use a manufacturer coupon and a target coupon on the same item! target savers made a great post of how to know which coupon is a target and which is a manufacturer coupon go here.

Also did you know that Amazon has coupons? Yep they do here! They also have great deals that are constantly changing and if you have a gamer in your house like I do they often have promos with popular games if you pre-order them!

When in doubt use google and search for the coupon with the month and year to see if there is one for the item you are wanting. Ive found many coupons and freebies doing this.

Lastly keep an eye out for freebies, they are everywhere especially in the facebook world!!   I could keep going but I will try to post more on other ways to save since there are so many different ways to save. Have a great day and if you have any questions leave a comment and I will get back to you.

 This is all my own opinion and all links are from my invitations to you 

Another Gift

Here is another gift I made. It is a picnic blanket that I saw 3 years or so ago on a website but I cant remember which one. If I find it I will post the link. It has a pocket in each of the corners to hold games, plates, and silverware and what ever else your heart desire.

Then I decided to do some crafts with my girlies and we made some soy candles they are scented wild orange and peppermint.  Here is a picture of the finished project.
