2010-11-20T20:46:00.000-08:00

Shutterfly is one of my favorite printable photo sites ever! Right now, they are doing an amazing deal where you can get 50 free photo cards simply by blogging about them. I have ordered photo books and cards from them in the past and the quality is amazing. Look how cute these cards are here. I personally love all of them and am going to have a really hard time choosing which design to use.

If you are interested, go here for all the details.

I cannot say enough good things about Shutterfly. They have always been my go-to site for printable projects. Their site is easy to use, their products are affordable, and they ship really fast. The colors are always true to the original pictures and the paper is really high quality. I have never been disappointed. You should totally check it out and score not only some great products but some free cards for your friends and family this Christmas!

I Love Albertsons!

Albertsons Best Deal EVER!!

2009-08-07T12:25:00.000-07:00

Ok- this was by far my most favorite trip to Albies! I made 4 transactions, but it was worth it!!

Total paid: $7.79
Total saved: $205.53

Let me just give you a little run down of what I got so you can understand how SWEET this was!
- 16 packs of pens
- 2 gallons of milk
- 6 ALL laundry detergent
- 2 boxes of cake mix
- 5 boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios
- 6 jars Skippy peanut butter
- 6 jars Best Foods Mayo
- 6 Dove shampoo/conditioner
- 1 box Q-tips

I am so excited! I also learned that you can use 2 sets of double coupons together if they are from separate ads ( I used 5 doublers with each transaction). I even went back the next day and got more groceries like Ragu and Hamburger Helper, but I didn't have 5 doublers that time, so I wasn't as pumped about my deals. Overall, I think this has been the best week at Albertsons. Consequently, I am a little shopped out and am taking a break :)

If you have any questions about how I did this or want to know where I got the coupons, then just leave me a comment. These deals are running through at least next Wednesday.
