Smashbox Freebie

I forgot to post today's Smashbox freebie earlier, so you only have about 2 hrs to get in on this if you want it. Sorry, guys!

Every Tuesday & Thursday Smashbox has a deal called “Let’s Do Lunch” where they give you a free gift with any order between 9-2 pm PST. Today’s gift is this Green Room Bronzer which retails for $30! Just place an order & after you hit submit & the freebie will show up on your order.

Additionally, you can become a Pretty Points member which has lots of perks (free shipping, points earned for all your purchases, bonus deluxe sample, birthday gift, etc.). If you’re gonna buy something, you may as well get free shipping & other bonus items, right?

Lastly, you get the “Let’s Do Lunch” freebie on any purchase, so make it as cheap as you can (unless you really have a specific item in mind). The Curtain Call section is items that are on sale, so pick one of those.

7 Packs of Huggies $3.28 Each

Wow, this is a stock up price on diapers! My friend Holly emailed me over the weekend with a question about the diaper deal at Rite Aid this week & she came up with a scenario I didn't even think of. I emailed Rite Aid's customer service department to make sure this would work before telling you guys about it, & good news...it will!

Huggies are on sale this week for $8.99/package (you will need your Wellness+ card). Here is how you can get 7 packages of Huggies for $3.28 each after coupons & rebates. You will have to do 2 transactions, but it will be worth it!

Transaction #1

Buy 3 packages of Huggies at $8.99 each = $26.97
- $5/$25 Rite Aid coupon (Wellness+ coupon or Video Values coupon) = -$5
- $3/1 printable MQ x 3 from Here, Here, or Here = -$9
- $1/1 Rite Aid May Video Values coupon (no longer available) = -$1
= Pay $11.97 OOP, get back $2 from SCR (rebate #53)
= $9.97 after coupons & SCR

Transaction #2

Buy 3 packages of Huggies at $8.99 each = $26.97
- $5/$25 Rite Aid coupon (same as above) = -$5
- $3/1 printable MQ (same as above) x 3 = -$9
= Pay $12.97

Then submit for the Huggies rebate (#800) & get a voucher for a free pack of Huggies when you buy 5 packs. After coupons & the free voucher, you will have gotten 7 packs of Huggies for $22.94 which comes out to just $3.28 per pack!

If you already used the $3/1 printable coupons listed, you can get $4/2 or $3.50/2 coupons here. It will cost you a few pennies more per pack, but definitely still a fantastic bargain.

Thanks for the idea, Holly!

Organic Crib Sheet Set 52% Off

Another today only deal (are you sick of them yet?)! This isn't inexpensive. I'll give you that. But trust me when I say it's a great bargain. Today only get this 100% organic crib set that includes the fitted sheet, crib skirt, reversible bumper, & reversible comforter for $189. This set normally retails for $390!

The set is made from 100% organic cotton sateen that has a thread count of 220. The bumper & quilt are filled with eco-spun 100% Regenerated Refill Polyester Fill that releases zero VOCs (volatile organic compounds). The printing is low impact and approved by the Organic Trade Association. Heck, it's even made in the USA!

This set is absolutely stunning. Really, we're talking the kind of set you'd see in a celebrity's nursery in a magazine. I love that it isn't a theme based set, too. I prefer bedding sets that aren't selling some product or character, but that's just me.

I can't imagine anything better for your baby's crib unless you bought a lama & a loom to make your own fabric (I'm kidding!). Check out this deal at EcoBabyBuys, but remember it's good today only.

Grandma El's Gift Set 38% Off

I love all the daily deals offered online. Target is having a baby sale, so there are several to choose from. But the one that caught my eye is on the bottom of the screen, in the lower right hand corner....the Grandma El's Gift Set. Today only get the 4 piece set for $19.99 with free shipping. Included are:

• Baby Wash
• Baby Shampoo
• Diaper Cream
• Washcloth

If you're not familiar with Grandma El's, they are known for creating safer baby products. They are not certified organic, but contain only ingredients of natural or organic origin. In fact, they only contain ingredients on the FDA GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) List and are Hypo-Allergenic. The products are manufactured in a FDA & cGMP compliant skin care product manufacturer.

This is a great way to try the product line or buy a set as a gift. With free shipping, you can't beat this deal!

Violight Toothbrush Sanitizer

Today only at Sellout.Woot get a Violight Toothbrush Sanitizer for $7.99+$5 shipping. You can also get a kids version at Kids.Woot for the same price.

Do these work? I have no idea. I used to work in dental offices, so maybe I should email my old boss & ask. Either way, these are a good price, so I doubt you could go wrong.

Tasty Tuesday

I love eggs because they are an excellent source of protein, versatile, & inexpensive. Even the organic eggs I buy are only $4.99 a dozen, & while that seems pricey, it isn't when you consider all that you can do with them.

We also love breakfast for dinner at our house. Here is a recipe from All Recipes that we like. I tweak it a bit by adding some Dijon mustard & adjusting both the amount (we need way less for our family) & cooking time (it needs longer to cook that what it states). But it's a very thrifty dinner option, especially if you use whatever you have in the house for the meat (bacon, ham, sausage, etc.).


Egg Casserole


12 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 pounds ground breakfast sausage
16 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
7 slices white bread, torn


Preheat oven to 350 degrees & brown your sausage (or cook your bacon or dice your ham). Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray & add your bread, sausage, cheese, & then pour the eggs on top. Cover with foil.


Check after approx. 35 mins & top with remaining cheese. Bake for about 15 minutes longer, or until casserole is set cooked through.
