A bargain I just couldn't pass up!!

Perhaps by now, it's well-known that my three favorite "C" words are Carol (daughter's name), Coupons (duh), and CLEARANCE (double-duh)!  

Coupled with my strange obsession with boxes and various storage containers, this deal at my local Kroger immediately coaxed me over. I snagged 10 storage boxes (shoe box size) for a TOTAL of $2.50!!

What will I do with all of these boxes?  I don't know yet, but for a quarter a piece, I simply couldn't resist indulging in my OCD-driven obsession with all things organization.  :o)

    Hey, y'all. I should have been more specific: this was from a few days ago, and they were being snatched up as I was snatching up mine.

    But for curious minds, it was at the Dunwoody Club Kroger, in Dunwoody/Sandy Springs.

    Kroger frequently has clearance deals like this. Once, I scored a big pack (not just the small jumbo size) of Pull-Ups for $9 on clearance, plus a coupon I had, so they were less than the smaller packs in the isle.

    I've also gotten some cute little salsa bowls on clearance for 49 cents a few weeks ago. Guess what I'll be gifting this Christmas? ;o)

Gift Guide for Toys to Keep Kids Moving

Before I dive in to great toys and activities to keep kids moving, a disclosure: portions of this post are sponsored.  I’ve received a form of compensation in exchange for featuring some of the items in this post; however all opinions, experiences, and bad puns are 100% my own. With kids’ birthdays sneaking up on you, and Christmas being a close -um- nine months away, it’s time to start pondering gift ideas for the kiddos in your life.  If you’re like me, you may be looking for toys and activities that promote getting active, rather than passively sitting in front of a screen.  While I’ve already mentioned games and activities for preschoolers, these toys are geared more for an older crowd, say ages 6 – 106.  😉 Here are some great gifts to keep kids moving, both indoors and outdoors: (Laser) Tag! You’re It!   My kids, particularly my son, enjoy a good game of Laser Tag, and have really dug the Laser X we got for Christmas last year.  We have recently added a few more L...
