Free Printable Grocery Store Lapbook Template

I love to reinforce good shopping habits whenever Emma and I are out and about.  I am teaching $$ management, budgeting, and most importantly "Coupons are Cool!".  I often have her offer coupons to folks we meet in the store.  They think it is cute and Emma is reinforced for sharing and being generous.  These templates are great and I am going to whip up a set this afternoon.  CLICK HERE to checkout all of the great shopping and learning activities offered!

Little Tikes- Summer of Fun -Part 1

I Love Little Tikes.  Our collection started with a brand new "School house playhouse" that my husband picked up for $10 at a yard sale.  Over the past few years were have hunted high and low for out of production play structures and toys that we thought our whole family would enjoy.  We have build our dream playground in true frugal fashion.  While we often buy used Little Tikes toys, the Little Tikes sales and promotions that are constantly running have helped us stretch out budget.  My daughter loves the entire line of toys.  Over the next month I will introduce a classic little tikes toy and then introduce a current little tikes toy that I think would offer similar fun and learning opportunities.

Here is one of my favorite Little Tikes Toys:

Can you believe that this lovely castle has now survived 3 families!  I am in love with the trap door.  The other door that bolts closed is super cute and the tower is perfect for a game of princess!  Little tikes has a good sale at the moment.  Prices seem steep but they are well worth it!  They are durable and made in the USA.

Great Crocs deal!

I really recommend starting with a cash back site to sweeten the pot on this deal!! My personal pic is Shopathome, but most of them (ebates, cashbaq) have a rebate for crocs.com purchases.

If you use one of those sites start there and navigate to crocs.com from your account page. Then:

• Search “Wave Flip”…
• add it to your cart and use coupon code: WAVE999 at checkout (Watch as the price drops to which will drop your total to $9.99)
• Then enter STACK15 (in the code box) to get an additional 15% off + you’ll score FREE shipping.

There is nothing quite like a shoe sale to cure a case of "The Mondays"!
