What Are Your Plans For Memorial Day
I'm thinking gardening~!
This is the 1st year in 23 years that I have no kids, they're all either adults that moved out or at their grandparents. My husband is deployed. So no stress for me! I can choose to do whatever I want. I don't have to go to the parade in town and stand with thousands of people waiting for anybody to throw candy at me!
Of course there may be a quick trip to a couple places to pick up the Memorial Day deals - but that's yet to be determined.
What are you going to be doing?? Anyone want to come do my gardening for me? LOL

Free Bandages??
Rumor has it that Walgreens has rolled back their price on NexCare bandages to $1.00. If you have the $1.00/1 coupon they're FREE! If you have the same coupon I have, which is $1.00/2, they're still a good deal at $0.50 a box.........especially when the kids use them for EVERYTHING and I do mean EVERYTHING! (uuggghhhhhhh - how many times can you explain to a kid that bandages do nothing for an ache??)

Kodiak Chiropractic Cream - FREE Sample
So all this walking I've been doing for the past week has brought not only weight loss, but tired, achy legs!! I ordered my FREE sample of Kodiak Chiropractic Cream (a topical pain relief/anti-inflammatory cream) today and the best news....they say it'll be here in 10 days! (ok - so hopefully I'm not still achy in 10 days!)
I'm soooooo excited!!!
My kids laugh at me - but I'm seriously very excited today!
I never, ever order coupons. But there were a ton is the past weekends inserts that are excellent, and that I wanted more of, and it just so happened I came across a crap load of them for almost nothing so I ordered them Tuesday and they were in the mailbox today!!!! YAY me!!
I'll be clipping for the rest of the night! :-)

Coupon Database
I'm on a mission!
I haven't found a coupon database that satisfies my desires - so my cousin and I are writing our own!
It's going to be way cool, and way useful, and make couponing so much easier!
Who would be interested in a database that tells you what Q's you have, how many of each you have, allows you to scan them in with a handheld scanner or smart phone, lets you remove the Q's you're using on a trip with your handheld scanner or smart phone, and could do match ups for you to boot??

Heading out............
Keep your fingers and toes crossed! I'm heading out for my weekly deals! Hopefully it's not too late to find what I want - I just haven't had a night this week without some other "have to" included so I haven't been able to fulfill my "need".
Check back in a little bit to see what we found for FREE or "next to FREE"!

I Have Muscles There???
Earlier this week I posted "But It's Sooooo Early!"........to catch you up a little if you didn't read the first post I have officially lost what little mind I have left after 7 kids, 2 dogs, and a husband in the Military, and decided it'd be a great idea to get a little exercise. My sister and I decided we'd walk every morning before work.....which for me means I have to be out the door at 5:30 to be home by 6:15 and get a 4 mile walk in there.
Friday night I had walked the same 4 miles with my niece who was over due hoping to help her labor along. Good news....it worked - she went into labor about 5 hours later and had the baby 16 hours after our walk! Bad news.....my legs hurt so bad on Saturday that I couldn't hardly walk. Now I'm not that out of shape....in the summer I usually walk 1.5 miles every day, but it's been a cold, snowy winter (hey that's my excuse so play along) and I didn't get out much.
So Monday rolls around and we get up before the crack of dawn and head out. I'm half asleep, my legs are still achy, and my allergies are in full swing. I walk 3 steps and then sneeze....walk 2 steps and say "ouch"....walk another 5 steps and sneeze again.....you get the idea!
Day 2.....tempted to call off - besides the fact that I slept for 3 and a half hours last night (hubby is deployed and called in the middle of the night which is fabulous, yet exhausting) I can't move my legs without feeling the previous 8 miles and this is after using the FREE Tylenol Precise I had got the week before!
Day 3.........really? We're going to do this again?? It's not so bad really - except the sleep part since my husband called again. I can do it.....1/2 mile in I'm ready to scream uncle and call my 20 year old who is home sleeping to pick me up!
Now here I sit on the eve of day #4. It's storming right now.....and I've never in my life prayed for the storms to continue as much as I have tonight! Believe me - I want to do this, and I need to get more exercise, but I'm thinking if it's not raining in the morning and we walk I'll lose a leg half way through the course and have to walk home on my hands!
I'm committed.....I'm going to do this and the pain will stop.........right??

My Very Realistic Kroger Trip 5/25/11
Made a quick run to Kroger today because we were out of "basics" and I had a few deals to pick up. Of course our first dose of reality occured when we stepped out of the car into a puddle that was at least 3 inches deep! (yes - got to love MI weather!!)
Second dose of reality set in when a grumpy 30 something was walking through an aisle and saw me giving my 13 year old a lesson on how to figure out a final price using Q's. She just had to mumble something about those "d*** couponers**. Guess she was jealous!
I ended up with a full basket which included:
10 Kool Aid canisters
2 Bags Ore Ida frozen potatoes
4 Lean Cuisine
2 Digornio Pizza & Cookies
1 box of Fudgcicles
2 Sara Lee Frozen cheesecakes (YUMMY!)
1 Large bottle of Heinz Ketchup
1 Martha Stewart coffee cake mix
4 Knorr Pasta packages
4 Knorr Rice packages
1 Helluva dip
3 Extra Large bags of Sunflower seeds (baseball!)
6 Pepsi 2 Liters
Total before Q's and Savings Card (original price) was $134.77
Total OOP: $56.39
Total Savings: 59%
3rd dose of reality..........the woman who had grumbled at me in one of the aisles was standing in line behind me. The cashier was going on and on about my total savings, and how I do it, what my binder looks like, an interview she saw on television this morning, etc., and the whole time the "grumbler" had to stand there and listen to her, then watch my total drop. This dose of reality was given to her!!

Sneak Peek Match Ups
I will have coupon match ups for the 5/29 sneak peek ads up tomorrow for anyone needing to order extra coupons
Do You Belong????
If you do not already belong to a Couponing Forum - I highly recommend you do so!
I keep the site as up to date as possible, however I am one person running this blog, and I can't be here to answer your questions 24 hours a day, and there's only so much searching for the "deal of the day" I can do. However, coupon forums - such as WeUseCoupons have hundreds of people on line all day, every day, ready and waiting to help answer questions, or providing information about unadvertised deals they've found while out and about.
There's a wealth of information on the site - and it can be intimidating at first - but trust me, after you hang around there for an hour or two you will be addicted!
When you sign up tell them stretchthatdollar sent you, then go to "friends" and type in stretchthatdollar and friend me!!
Hope to see you all there!!
P.S. - there's a link embedded in this post, as well as one to the left side of the blog page that is always present.

There's a wealth of information on the site - and it can be intimidating at first - but trust me, after you hang around there for an hour or two you will be addicted!
When you sign up tell them stretchthatdollar sent you, then go to "friends" and type in stretchthatdollar and friend me!!
Hope to see you all there!!
P.S. - there's a link embedded in this post, as well as one to the left side of the blog page that is always present.
But it's sooooo early......
I now know I've officially lost my mind!
23 years ago I decided to have kids. Not a bad idea! I had no idea at that time I'd decide that 7 sounded like a well rounded number. (that thought came much later - along with the laundry, grocery bill, clothing bills, etc.) Jump forward to the decision to marry my awesome husband......that too sounded wonderful! I mean every girl wants to marry her hero - right? And mine wears combat boots! We thought this year we were "safe" from deployments........that's what we get for thinking!
So here we are today - I went to bed at 11 PM last night after baseball practice for the teenage son, running the 2 teenage girls over to see my niece's new baby, doing 2 loads of laundry, putting dishes in the dishwasher that can never seem to find their way there without my help, and cleaning up the mud left on the wood floor after my teenage son decided to pound his baseball cleats clean in the middle of the dining room.
My deployed husband often calls at 12:30am - there's quite a time difference and that's when he usually can grab a phone for a few minutes to talk......so after sleeping an hour I'm up to catch up on the occurrences of the day/weekend with my hubby then it's back to bed at 1:15.
I then start the day at 5:00 AM this week - rather than 6 AM because I've made this new commitment to myself to get more exercise. (again - another great idea at the time turned into a "huh?!" moment later) And since I clearly can't fit it into the schedule after work, it has to go in before. So here I am, blogging before my 3 mile walk/jog with my sister. I'll get home just in time to grab a shower before the kids get up and start getting ready for the day, which is good - because 3 teenagers getting ready for school somehow seems to empty the hot water tank in no time, and using a bathroom for the hour and a half before school is next to impossible. (I meantioned 2 of them are teenage girls right? I do not remember ever primping as much as these girls do now)
Maybe I can squeeze in a nap during the 45 minutes I have to wait between the time my son has to be at his ball game and the time the game starts tonight!
How do you manage your work/life balance? Do you work exercise in there somewhere? Anyone know how to get 8 hours of sleep in 4?? :-)
