I must revise yesterday's post from, regarding the diaper deal at Target.  What I failed to realize was that the Target printables are manufacture coupons; thus, you may not combine them with the SmartSource coupon, too.   My apologies for the error -- and thanks to the anonymous commenter for making me aware of it.  :o)   It's  still  get a good deal, when you combine it with the right coupons.  Plus, you can use any of those high value Pampers $3.00 coupons, if you've been lucky enough to obtain them.

I've decided that, when I win the lottery, I wish to do the following, in order: Finish paying off mortgage. Hire a personal laundry servant.  First, train them how to fold laundry MY way.  Then, train them to put away laundry MY way. Finally get my TurbieTwist .  Perhaps even two of them! Buy out The Container Store.  I don't think I've ever stepped foot in there, but it sounds like it would be right up my alley. Hire Chik-fil-a... And then a personal trainer.   That is all.  For now.  ;o) What's on YOUR wish list?
