Konad Addict!

I've been on a Nail kick lately and I just love Konad Nail Art Stamping!
I've been getting a few plates here and there from joyfulexpressions she is great and has wonderful deals! (Thanks Sherry ;)

Also on her website you can enter to win a free kit she does a monthly drawing that's how I got my kit!

I Just got The KONAD Nail Art Image Plate Book it has 70 full colour pages of nail art design ideas. Each page features 28 nail art designs of each image plate.

Also instead of using a CD holder to hold all my plates I found on YouTube a video from a girl who had a wonderful idea check out the link to Why Buy the konad book?


Here are a few pics

 

Added a few Jems stones

Walgreens Trip 3/23

I hope this won't be confusing..lol
I didnt want to post all 5 transactions so heres a quick Break down.
I went to 3 Stores and did 5 transactions in total


30 tomato sauce w/ Walgreens in store Coupon  3/$1
1 Arrid XX  w/ Walgreens in store .99
3 Tena Ultra Thins Sale $9.99 each ($10 RR back for each = FREE) PLUS $2.50 Profit see below!
2 Celadrin Soft Gels for Joints Sale $10 Each ( $10 RR back for each = FREE)
2 Airwick $7.99 Sale buy 1 get one free

I got (38 items) in the pic above for $10.85 and got back $20 rrs!!

On each Transaction I flipped the rr's
1st transaction I paid for Celadrin Soft Gels with yesterdays $10 rr from Tena ultra thins
Then 2nd transaction I got the Tena ultra thins and paid with the Celadrin rr and did that a few times

I found coupons for the Airwick deal I posted yesterday so I got them FREE! will get another set tomorrow :)

I didn't know till last night when I went on to iheartwags.com she has a coupon link for Tena Ultra Thins $2.50 off which is great so that is a $2.50 Profit!! 

Here is an example-
on one transaction I got the tena ultra thins used the $2.50 coupon and also got 9 tomato sauce which the overage covered that so out of pocket on a that transaction was $1.19 and got back $10 rr

Its all about flipping the rr's and using coupons to sweeten the deal!!

;)

Look what I found!

I was cleaning out my garden yesterday evening, pulling out weeds from the ground and in some pots. I pulled out what I thought was a weed turned out to be a carrot...lol  (Just a baby)
There is a stick that says carrots I went weed happy pulling wasn't paying attention. There are more I will give it a few weeks and pull another..lol

Wow! Can you believe this!!

                                                           

 

Police said a postal worker 👀 stole coupons from his New York route and sold them at steep discounts on eBay to help pay his mortgage.

Investigators said Thomas Tang, 38, took more than 7,000 coupons from stacks dispersed on his route and those stored at the Corona branch where he worked, the New York Post reported Monday.

Tang told police he made $35,000 from JC Penny coupons alone selling them on eBay. Investigators said they were working to determine how much money Tang received from similar schemes involving coupons from Kohl's and Lowe's.

"I have two small children, and my wife is pregnant," court documents quote Tang as telling police. "I also have a mortgage, and I have to pay cash for my children's baby sitter. I did not want this to happen, but it was the only way I could avoid having my house foreclosed on."

Tang is charged with felony grand larceny.

Wow that is unbelievable!

Update of my garden

Thanks to Mike (great guy) whom I met today off of Freecycle.org he posted that he had some flower pots , so hubby and I  jumped at the chance which was perfect timing I needed to repot a lot of plants.  Mike was also generous enough to give me some bamboo for stakes and 2 seedling trays.
I then went to home depot and bought a few bags of dirt and some more seeds.
also I noticed a cucumber today!
Thanks again mike!
