Cheap Birthday Party..and other notes...
Well, we celebrate my daughter's birthday party.
How much would you spend on a party for a 9 year old? We are having 11 people including our family.
Here is what we are doing.
Pizza, on sale 6 for $10.00. Used a $10.00 Mastercard gift card from Swagbucks to pay for those.
Soda, Generic (2 liter bottles), and chips from Walmart about $5.00
Salsa, Free made from garden
Home made birthday cake, Free cake mix after double coupon. Cake mix from my stockpile. I bought at Logli's a while ago. Also making cupcakes from the other box of cake mix. That box was cheap too.
Chocolate Ice Cream from Target deal, so it was super cheap. I have a candle that is a "9", so we will use that.
We have paper plates that were free from Kmart deal. Paper cups, free from Kmart deal. Napkins (found brand new at a clothing exchange, they had boxes of them so we took a few packs), Plastic forks and spoons, free from Menards deal. We wash and reuse. Birthday table cloth that my mom will bring.
Streamers are from a free box at a rummage sale I found over the summer. We also have a bag of balloons that we 10 cents on clearance at Walmart from a LONG time ago. We use 2 or 3 for each birthday until the bag runs out.
Her birthday gift is where I spent the most. I found a the Leapster Diji on clearance for $29.99 ( Originally $59.99) at our Walmart back in early summer. I had the $10.00 off coupon, so I got it for $19.99. Over the summer, I kept hunting until I found games for it cheap. I got games on Ebay, clearance at Walmart and through the Ebates deal on Leapster.com Altogether, my daughter will be getting 5 games for her birthday ($40.00) and the Diji. So total spent $60.00. I also have 2 games put away for christmas.
That is it! I could have gone cheaper, if I would have bought cheaper gifts. But, I am thrilled to keep this birthday party inexpensive. One things that helped was buying through out the year and not waiting until the last minute to buy things. This helps spead out the spending, so you aren't whipping out your plastic at the last moment.
Do you have any low cost birthday party ideas? Please post them in the comment section!
Also, how is everyone doing on their christmas planning? I am almost done. I found some great deals this week through my school book order!!! It seems scholastic is now allowing parents to go online and order directly from their website. I was able to order $19.00 worth of items from the clearance section ( all christmas gifts) and have them count towards my teachers school order. That way, the teacher gets to pick an extra free book for her classroom and I get to save lots of money on my order. I ordered 10 things for $19.00. Including a math game, a book with a friendship necklace, some toy for my son, etc. So, if your son or daughter has a teacher who has set this up for the Scholastic book club, it's a great way to get some clearance deals, help the classroom and buy educational things for christmas. ( on a side note, the teacher does know I bought christmas gifts, make sure your teacher doesn't send them home with the kids!!)
Also, there is that $5.00 off My Little Pony Coupon (see my coupon bar on the right side of my blog) when you spend $20.00. I know my Walmart and several other Walmarts had some Pony items on clearance. My store has the ponies in the clearance section, not in the toy section, so keep your eyes open for gifts there!
My christmas gift list is small this year. I am buying for very few people. With that said, I am almost done. I have 6 boxes of items in the basement filled with gifts. Each gift has a post it note on it that matches my list. So I know that I have bought for each person on my list. :)
Other than that, I got my Shoppershotline reward this week, another $25.00 on my debit card. :) And I got my last $10.00 Mastercard from Swag Bucks. Swagbucks doesn't have the Mastercards anymore, so we will have to wait and see what is next for them! I am also half way to a reward on Report Port, so I will use that to buy more Christmas gifts. ( if you don't know what Rewardsport is, click on the "reward yourself" ad on the right hand side of the page and find out! It's quick and easy!).
I am keeping it frugal. I have already put aside HALF of the total amount I need for my Oral Surgery at the end of the month. I am hoping to have it all. I don't want to put that much on a credit card when we are so close to being debt free. I will post how I am doing with that. I have pet sitted, sold some items and paid less then budgetted on the credit card to put money aside for this surgery. OH FUN...NOT!!! :)
I hope everyone has a frugal, safe and fun weekened!!!

Would you be ready??
My husband and I have lived paycheck to paycheck. It's not a fun place to live. If any kind of emergency happens, you are stuck pulling out your credit card or borrowing from family. Either way it creates a problem. The interest on credit cards is crushing the average american family. Borrowing from family means that you will feel obligated to them until you pay it off.
As many of you know, we have been on our debt snowball for a long time! I feel like it's never going to be zero ( but we will). Yesterday, I was told I will need oral surgery at the end of the month and I have to come up with 50% down. That is well over $1,000! I told her we don't use credit card anymore. She looked at me like I was crazy.
So, would you be able to pay for this in 2 weeks without credit card? Well, I can take about half of it out of my emergency fund. The other half I have to come up with in two weeks. I am going to be ready, but it's going to take some creativity.
What would you do? Would you break down and take out your credit card? We are so close to paying off our debt, I don't want to go backwards. Once we become debt free, I can start saving for my kids college funds or a new house. I have to have this oral surgery, but I don't have to use my credit cards.
So, I will let you know what I do and how I do it as I figure it out myself! :)

Fun Night for me!!
My Grandma's birthday party was tonight. I had to do some volunteer stuff, so I arrived late, but when I got there everyone was saying hi and handing me coupons!! LOL. I got 3 bags full of coupons. I also got some coke points and some new books. :) I guess my family is starting to realize how much I use them. :) It was a fun night!!
Shopping Trip!
Well, it's be a long time since I did a big trip. This trip wasn't a full trip, I didn't stop at Aldi's or Target. I only did Kwik Trip, VS and Logli's.
First VS had a coupon that they sent for free underware, so I picked up another free pair! I have a huge stockpile of under clothes from them!
Then, Walgreen's. I picked up 2 more Red Baron Pizza's. After coupon it is $2.00.
![]()
Then Lolgi's. Not the best photo, but I was in a hurry!
2 cans of chicken broth
box of Earl Grey Tea
4 boxes of Eggos
1 package of Tuna
1 container of Oatmeal
4 bottles of Nestea
3 boxes of Jello
2 Kraft Easy Mac Cups
2 4pks of Yoplait Yougart
2 4pks of Dannon Yougart
1 bottle of Relish
2 bottles of Sobe water
4 bars of soap
3 reese cup packs
5 Yakisoba Meals
1 box Frosted Flakes
2 Kashi Crunch Cereal
3 Thai Rice Noodles
13 bagged frozen veggies
1 container cottage cheese
1 container butter
1 pk of beer brats
1 pk of Brats
2 pounds of london broil meat
1.3 pound of pork steaks
6 cans of cinnamon rolls
4 cans of cresant rolls
4 little containers of Chef Boy R Dee
1 bag Picsweet Frozen Meal
Total before coupons: $113.30
Total after coupons: $48.94
Almost all the things I bought had coupons from the sunday paper or IP's from my coupons.com bar ( on the right hand side of my blog). The Yougart coupons were from a friend. Everything was on sale combined with a coupon.
Last Kwik Trip.
I bought 3 dozen eggs, 3 bags of milk, and 2 pounds of bananas for $9.XX.
So, Now we will try to continue to eat from our stockpile, plus what I bought today, for about 4 weeks. I still need to sit down and make a meal plan. But I got the oatmeal, cinnamon rolls, eggs, yougart and cereal. That can cover most breakfasts. Lunches can be soups, sandwiches, mac and cheese. Dinners will have brats, spaghetti, pork steaks, london broil, tacos, and pizzas. So, that is just a start.

Run to Senty and Walgreens
Well, I typically avoid Sentry, but my kids won a $10.00 beef certificate from the Beef Council through a school project! So, we went. I found some great deals and only spent $3.36 out of pocket! Also, ran to Walgreens. I had $8.00 in RR's to use by Saturday, so I figured I would look around.

After RR's: $3.52 with tax, used the balance from my last Walgreens gift Card. Zero OOP.
While I was at Walgreens I saw hangtags for 50 cents off Sobe Life Waters. I grabbed a few because I knew they would double at other stores, so I figured I would find them on sale eventually. Little did I know..they were on sale at Sentry.

Getting Behind!
Well, my house is a disaster, and my coupons are piling up! It seems like this past weekend almost went by in a whirlwind. I have had something going on every night this week! Just got home from Bible Study about 15 minutes ago!
So, let's find some positives!!
First, I was able to send the ENTIRE payment on the medical bill!
Second, my daughter won a contest at school from the Beef Council, so we got a $10.00 gift certificate for any beef at the grocery store!! YEAH!!
Third, I was able to take my family and my brother and his wife out to eat on Monday night for his birthday. Paid nothing about of pocket between gift cards and coupons!!
My daughter just traded a bunch of paperback books for free. So, she started reading again for her McDonald's happy meals and her Book It pizzas!! Free food! YEAH!!
At my job, there was a bunch of books on a table with a free sign, I found about 3 books my daughter has been wanting to read!
One of the woman I trade coupons with just send me several free yougart coupons!! I am so thrilled!!! YEAH!!!
I got accepted into a new BZZZ Agent Campaign. So that should come in the next week!
So, I am keeping it frugal. I am thinking positive. And I have been thinking about how I can still pay off as much debt off the credit cards as possible. I have a leather dress and some old ren gear I am thinking about selling. I have some jewerly that I can sell for scrap gold.....humm....I wonder what else I can do. I am pet sitting for 2 different people this weekend. Fun and some extra cash there.
Stay frugal!
So, let's find some positives!!
First, I was able to send the ENTIRE payment on the medical bill!
Second, my daughter won a contest at school from the Beef Council, so we got a $10.00 gift certificate for any beef at the grocery store!! YEAH!!
Third, I was able to take my family and my brother and his wife out to eat on Monday night for his birthday. Paid nothing about of pocket between gift cards and coupons!!
My daughter just traded a bunch of paperback books for free. So, she started reading again for her McDonald's happy meals and her Book It pizzas!! Free food! YEAH!!

Can you still eat that?
I have recieved 2 emails asking about stockpiling food and wondering if the food is still good after a certain amount of time. I would like to share a site with you that helps sort out all those questions. Go to http://www.stilltasty.com/ and take a look at all the things you can store, keep and freeze. How long something will last and what you can do to store it properly.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Nice Quiet Weekend at Home
Tonight I got home and my husband had started the cabbage rolls in the crock pot. The cabbage is from our garden, the rice was free with coupon and the Tomatoe soup was free after RR's at Walgreens. So, cheap dinner.
Then, I took some tomatoes out of the garden and chopped them up and made salsa. :) I got the salsa mix for 10 cents on clearance at Walmart. So, cheap salsa.
Then, I wrapped my daughters birthday gift. If I would have bought everything retail, I would have paid over $199.99. But, after coupons and gift cards and ebay, I paid $61.00 for all her gifts! Not, including the Ebates rebates. So, I am happy. She is done shopping for.
Tonight, my kids and I read books and played board games. They had a great time!!
Hope you have a super frugal weekend!!
