My final post!

Lucky for me I have discovered a wonderful new hobby - ballroom dancing!  I have been dancing for about 6 months, and I am enjoying it more every day.  This new passion for me, however, means less time for other things in my life, like blogging.  Also, dancing is kind of pricey, so I need to really spend more time planning out grocery trips and saving as much as possible every single week!  

So I am shutting down operations at My Kids Piggy Bank.  If you are looking for a resource that lists weekly deals make sure to check Krazy Coupon Lady and Southern Cali Saver a few times each week.  KCL is best for drug store deals, and SCS is amazing with grocery match ups.

Thanks for reading!  And good luck filling up those piggy banks:)

Have you noticed that minimum order amount for free shipping on Amazon has increased to $35??  Just in time for the holidays!  If you need a few items to get you up to that $35 mark have a look for kids movies. I have found a lot of titles go on sale for only $4.99, and now you can get Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs for this low price!  Great idea for a stocking stuffer, or to keep the kids busy while you make a Thanksgiving feast:)

Half-off LeapFrog My Own Leaptop - only $12.86!

I went to check this out because KCL had it posted for a price of $17.99.  With an emerging reader in the house I thought it would be a good buy for Christmas.  But a nice surprise, when it loaded it was only $12.86.  This is 49% off!  I picked up one for each kid and a few cheap dvd's (you can often find movies for only $4.99) to meet the new higher free shipping threshold - $35 for free shipping.  Still a great deal though!

Spent $24 and made $26 for all this at Rite Aid!

Rite was some super fun coupon shopping this week!  I scored so many deals!  Here they are:

Natural Instincts hair color was on sale $7 each or 2 for $14.  There was an in-ad coupon for $ off 2, so they came down to $10 for both.  I happened to have 2 catalina coupons from Rite Aid for $4 off one box, so that took off $8.  I got these for only $1 each!  Which is especially great since I need 2 boxes for each color:)

Crest mouthwash was on sale for $4.50, and I used $1.50 coupons, making them $3.  I also got a $3 reward for buying each one.  The deal limit is 2.

EcoTools products are buy 2 get a $4 reward.  I found 4 of the loofah sponge that cost only $2.23 each, so I only spent under $9 to get back $8 in rewards.  I didn't have a coupon for these, but if you want to get one by signing up for the newsletter you can - I didn't have time!!

Softsoap refils were on sale for $2.99 each.  I bought 2 and used 2 $.50 coupons.  I also got back $2 for buying both.

Old Spice is on promotion get $2 when you buy 2.  The ones I bought only cost $2.99, and are also buy one get one half price, which is $1.49.  So each pair cost just under $4.50, and I used a $2/2 coupon, so $2.50 to get back $2 in rewards.

My favorite deal was the CoverGirl cosmetics.  I bought 8 eyeshadow, also buy one get one half price.  They cost $3.39 and $1.69.  I used 4 $4/2 coupons, saving me a total of $16!!  So I spent only $4.32 after my coupons, and got back $5 in rewards (promotion is spend $20 get $5).  AMAZING.

Last I got 2 bags of Halls, on sale 2/$3.  I used a $1/2 coupon, and a $.50 rite aid facebook coupon, saving me $1.50 total, and I got back $1 for buying 2.

So before tax this all cost only only $17.68.  Tax brought it up to just over $24, and I got back $24 in rewards.  I am so excited to spend some of these on Halloween clearance!  Dress up costumes and decorations for next year:)

Hand Made Clay Necklaces - Cool Gift Idea!

I saw this idea in the current issue of Family Fun Magazine.  I love to have the kids make something for the grandparents for Christmas instead of buying something.  I think it means more to my parents and in-laws to have something handmade, and I like that my kids put some serious focus and energy into a project that they are making to give to someone else.  Like a lot of kids, mine want to keep everything for themselves, from pine cones they find at the park to that really cute teeny tiny blueberry.  Ok, maybe my kids are a bit weird.

But anyway, these necklaces are a super easy and cute craft and gift!  You can help younger kids by making the clay shape for them, and older kids can do their own or use a cookie cutter shape (we used play dough shapes).  The kids both had a great time sticking the beads into the clay.

I also like this craft because you need to buy glass beads - plastic ones would melt when you bake the clay (might be kind of cool too!), and this week at Michael's all beads are half price!  Perfect time to shop.  You can also get a large block of oven bake clay for about $8-$9, and if you kept a flyer from the weekend paper you can use a 50% off coupon.  So not a bad outcome for a pretty special creation!

Beaded Clay Necklaces
Laura Moss

Beaded Clay Necklaces

Surprise someone with a boho-inspired mosaic necklace your child can proudly say she made herself. Working on foil (so that the piece can be transferred to the oven), roll or press oven-bake polymer clay into a sheet about 1/4 inch thick. Use a dull knife to cut out a shape. Create a hole or two for the cord with a toothpick, wiggling it to widen. Press small glass beads firmly into the clay. Once the design is done, check the holes and reopen any, if needed. Bake the clay as directed. Coat the cooled piece with clear nail polish and add a cord.

Here is another deal to help me with my Christmas card mission.  I have used Vistaprint for cards before and I really like the layouts, editing tools, and the finished product.  With this coupon code you can save 50% and get free shipping on orders over $30.  I seem to remember last year getting some codes for Vistaprint for free cards, and what I did was order a few different designs and multiple orders to take advantage of the free offer codes.  I am planning this year to start with a holiday design but hold off on ordering to see if any of those codes come up again.  That way I can get the free deal but also get the free shipping with the deal below.

Shaving Deals at CVS!

I did not get this super cool $4/$10 shaving products coupon from the CVS coupon machine, but I did get one last week for $5 off any CVS brand 5 blade razor, and I put it to good use today.  They are part of this promotion, along with a few other select shaving items, where you get $4 back in rewards if you spend $10.  The razor was priced at $9.29, so I also bought an Edge shave gel for $3.49, and it happened to have the bonus razor attached (yay!).  I used the $5 cvs coupon and a $1 coupon on the shave gel, and paid $6.78 for both.  I also cashed in my $5 in Beauty Bucks (you get $5 for every $50 you spend on beauty products), so my total was only $1.78 and I got back $4.  I was happy to get some kind of deal at CVS, it's been a little slow for me lately!

Here are the deals as posted on KCL if you get the $4/$10:










Make sure to scan your ExtraCare card at the “Magic Coupon Machine” this week at CVS. If your stockpile is running low on shaving products, here are two great deals to grab using this store coupon:

Free Pumpkin Carving for Kids in Sherman Oaks

I was at the Sherman Oaks Street Fair this weekend, and I got a flyer for a free event happening this weekend, on Sunday Oct 27 from 12-2.  Kids get a free pumpkin to carve, and there are other events and games too.

The event is at the Sherman Oaks Lutheran Church, just south of Ventura on Dickens St.

Rite Aid Happiness:)

I love shopping weeks when I have a lot of rewards to roll over.  I can check out with almost nothing out of pocket, and still get back more in rewards!  After the great beauty tools deal last week I had lots of rewards to spend.  Here is what I got:

2 Lady Speed Stick, sale price $2.99.  I used 2 $.50 coupons, and got back $2 for each one.

Physician's Formula cosmetics, the deal is spend $15 get $10 reward.  I have the gold discount, so full price items I get 20% off, which can mess with my totals!  So I bought 2 felt marker eye liners for $6.04 after discount, and one eye pencil for $4.76 after the discount.  I also used $1 coupons on each item.  So I spent $13.84 to get back $10 - not bad!

I used a total of $18 in rewards from last week (and I still had $3 left over!), so my total before tax was only $.82!!  And, I got back $14 in rewards for next week.  Such a good deal.

I also read that Finesse shampoo was a good deal, but I didn't get the $1 coupon.  If you did, the deal was buy at $2.99, use a $1 coupon and get $2 back.
