The LOOT!

I am so getting a hang of this coupon thing!! I did not do as well as I could have because I did not have a coupon for EVERY ITEM, but I did pretty good and I know where I made my mistakes.

My total bill was $56.09 and out of pocket I only paid $8.67!! A savings of OVER $47!!

So I also purchased this


So I can duplicate the binder this lady had!! I am going to be a coupon MONSTER!! I spent a few hours yesterday scouring sites with coupons. Watching you tube on "how to do it" I am SO EXCITED about saving money on stuff we need anyways..

And I also discussed with the hubs when I can get stuff for free I am going to start a big box of stuff for one of the charities or "food banks" in our area! I can see the overflow becoming a certain problem..ha ha..

Look out retailers I am going to find you and the best deal I can get!

We have a WINNER!!

The winner of the book giveaway is



Mrs R over at Blogging away!! You should go say "hi" She's a military wife and she plays the guitar!



I used Random.org to pick the winner.. (such a cool site!) I wish I knew how to do the cute little cut and paste thing but I can not figure it out!

Congratulations!! Email me at crazyrandommusings@yahoo.ca and I will get your FABULOUS book out right away!

I will let you know tomorrow what the next book is!! I need to get to reading!!


In other FABULOUS news. Actually in HUGE news I was at Kmart last night and I walked passed this lady with a HUGE binder of coupons. She looked approachable so I said "hi" (thats the Canadian in me) and she was SUPER nice. I totally did not get her name though however she did show me HOW TO SHOP FOR FREE!!!!

With coupons. See I can clip coupons with the best of them but I rarely use them. She had this binder set up super user friendly and she gave me a BUNCH of tips.

I think we created a MONSTER I have been up all night printing coupons for FREE STUFF, well not free really (yet) but Kmart has a double coupon week and she showed me how (I was buying shaving cream for the hubs) to do it.

Shaving cream $1.99 (on sale)
Coupon $1 off x2 (double coupon)
= FREE!!!

I am so excited to shop for free.... I am heading back to Kmart with all my coupons and I will let you know when I return how I did! I am sure I will not be able to master it like she did, her and her husband bought $193 worth of stuff for $1.89. WOW!! I am so going to learn how to do this. She says its been YEARS since she has paid full price for anything she uses on a regular basis including house cleaning supplies!

When will I ever learn?

You NEVER go to the grocery store when you have PMS? Like EVER? Or when you have PMS and are stressed.... And never at 9pm at night because "I think I need a snack.. I am craving something sweet"...

The loot.


Pumpkin pie (A WHOLE ONE)

Whip Cream (for on top of the pumpkin pie. duh?)

Cheesecake (in case you change your mind about the pumpkin pie.. or you want both?)

Strawberries to have ON TOP of the cheesecake... with whip cream..

Last but not least 4 (FOUR) flavors of Ben & Jerry's.

Umm yeah? I already feel my ass getting bigger!! And I was doing so GOOD!! This just means 2 hours a day of cardio.. AND ITS GOING TO BE WORTH EVERY BITE!!

Fabulous Fridays!!

To enter the book giveaway go here!! Good luck!



So these babies are my cute little BCBG girls shoes I bought about 2 years ago.. I tried to find the post but its lost in all my "shoe" posts.

I know I got a good deal on them I just can not remember what. Oh and I still have not worn them because I had not found the PERFECT outfit...









Until NOW!! I found this fabulous dress (Ann Taylor) for $2 at my new favorite discount store. The pictures do not do it justice its really beautiful and its perfect for all of my engagements I have this summer!! So excited!
