Free Quiznos

Quiznos is giving away 1,000,000 free subs! You just have to register on the website and then they email you a coupon to print and it just has to be used within 5 days of printing. When I printed one for Zac and I, it said that they had given away around 100,000 so far. This will be a fun, cheap date night for us! (you can use multiple emails to sign up so you can get more coupons) The coupon has my name on it and says I will have to show I.D.

Albertson's sale

This week Albertsons is having a Buy 10 save $10 sale. I was able to get all of the pictured groceries below for $23.35. I bought 30 items and saved over $75. If you buy 10 participating items it prints you out a coupon for $10 off you next purchase. I did this once, got my certificate, did another order and used my certificate on that order AND I also got another $10 off coupon. I used my second coupon to buy some extra things that I needed to make a salad for a church party. I wasn't planning on purchasing one of my items, but there were 75% off baskets of valentines things and I got a cookie cutter set for $3. I used several coupons--but most of them were internet printables. http://krazycouponlady.blogspot.com/ is where I got the link to the Albertson's ad (the link just goes to the pinchingyourpennies website) When I got home last night I found some more progresso soup coupons at http://progressotastechallenge.com/ and I plan to go back and get some soup . You can print internet coupons twice per computer--you just need to push the back button. There are also some additional coupons that print out at the register if you buy certain things. For instance if you buy 5 fruit rollups/gushers/snacks you will get a $3.50 print out. All you would have to do is buy 5 more items from the buy 10 get $10 sale and you end up with $13.50 in coupons for your next purchase!

***I just want to add that I do not only feed my family prepackaged processed food/junk food, but it is nice to have it on hand when I don't feel like cooking a homemade meal!

$23.35 for 30 items= an avg. of .78 an item!

Just a funny picture of Carson--he wanted to wear another diaper outside of his clothes!
**Yesterday I also got an awesome manicure from my sister in law Kaci. She is in cosmetology school right now--so next year at this time look up Kaci for all your beauty needs!

Carson

Carson found his jumperoo in the closet yesterday and wanted to get in it. I looked back through my pictures and found this one of when my dad first bought the jumperoo for him. He is 4months in the first picture and 20 months in the next one.

Anyone ever heard of electric football? I hadn't until Zac and I got married. Zac used to play this a lot when he was a kid. This is his old board and Carson thinks it is great. Last Christmas I found a new version for Zac so now they can both play.


The other night Carson picked out some pj's and we put them on to get ready for bed. A little while later he came out of his room with three more pairs and really wanted to wear them. I had a hard time getting them off because he wanted to sleep in all 4 pairs!

And the winner is...

Talking up a storm

Lately Carson has been talking so much! Just in the last few weeks he has learned so many new words. He will repeat almost anything you say (which is not always good!--see list below) These are some new things he says:

• help you (instead of help me, he always calls himself "You" when we look at pictures)


• money


• heavy (says it with a strained voice as he tries to pick things up)


• candle


• Haney


• Tipper (my parents dog)


• Elmo (during the inauguration on Tuesday, he was very concerned that Elmo was not on--he took the remote and pointed it at the t.v. and said, "Elmo, Elmo!)


• most all his body parts


• all the family member names


• Pepsi (thank you Ryan!)


• Jesus


• Merritt (his friend)


• hoochie(thanks Sarah)


• eat (tells me that when he is hungry)


• look (after we take a picture-he wants to see it!)

One line updates....

--Christmas with the Haney's
