Bi-Lo just keeps giving me FREE stuff!!!
Bi-Lo does not have many great deals this week. Actually, I only wrote a few items on my list from the sales ad. I have my best luck checking every aisle for un-advertised deals and close outs.
Here are my best deals:
SH Chicken & Wild Rice Soup: FREE (coupon in bilo mailer)
Nestle Choc & Caramel swirl chips: .23 cents
Chinet Crystal Cups: .25 cents
Ziplock Steam Bags: .47 cents
Swiffer Duster Kit: $1.90
Swiffer Sweeper Refills: $2.90
Cheerios Snack Mix: $1
YoPlus Yogurt: $1
Pampers: $6
Gas Token Deals: I earned 3 tokens total
3 packs of Oreos: on sale for $3/pack ... used 3 $1 coupons
3 of any Luvs, Gain, &/or Bounty Basic: I bought 1 of each using $5 Luvs coupon, and $1.50 in bounty coupons
Spent over $50 for one more token
I earned 1 milk token and there was a $1 coupon the milk making it only $3.59 (I'll take any coupon for milk ... its so expensive)!
My overall savings were not super great, my subtotal before savings was $96, after coupons and sales it was $53. I'm used to getting over 50% savings. I was kinda bummed at my total but when the catalina started printing out gas & milk tokens I also got a coupon for $5 off my next purchase and I got a FREE $20 eBags gift card for spending over $25 in P&G products in one transaction!! I am really excited about this, I've been pouring over bags since I got home!! My rebate form is filled out and ready to go to the post office in the morning!

Moo--volous, Absolutely Moo-volous!
Did y'all dress up to get free food at Chick-fil-a last Friday? Being that I love anything cheap, but especially anything free I decided not to pass this one up. It started with just making outfits for my girls. I made white pillowcase dresses for them and let them paint black spots on them. I picked up some white with black polk-a-dots ribbon at Hobby Lobby to tie them up with.
They had so much fun! Unfortunately the dresses were placed out in the warm sunshine to dry and a sudden swift storm (alliteration .. Mrs. Lawly would be proud) washed away all the cow spots. Take two: We used washable markers inside yielding the same cute cow clothing! I then took a permantent marker and drew spots on white ribbon for their ears and tail. I also made ears (ribbon tied to a headband) and a tail for myself. I put the cow spot stickers chick-fil-a gave away on white t-shirts for dh and I and he wore the cow hat.
Here are the mini-cows on their way to get free food!
The whole herd!
DD1 with the Chick-fil-a cow, DD2 was terrified of the cow getting too close to her. From a safe distance she was friendly, just stay on the other side of the place and we'll be good!
Oh, and I almost forgot. This Chick-fil-a was having a contest and our family won! They picked our family herd picture as the grand prize winner! Our prize ... free milkshakes! YUM
