My Blog Just Grew!

I decided today to import the posts from my old blog, Fun Finds For You, into this one!  I only had to delete a couple of posts that were inappropriate :)  You'll find the old posts in the 2007 section.  They were fun to go back and read.  I find it funny that I didn't even blog about getting pregnant or anything baby-related!

Let me know if you read my old posts!  I have some other plans for my Fun Finds blog...

2 Year Stats

I came across Cody's doctor visits booklet (honestly, I can't believe I haven't lost it yet) while cleaning so I thought I'd post his 2 year stats for you all.

Height - 33-1/2 inches
Weight - 28.6 pounds
Head Cir - 15-1/2 inches

In terms of percentiles, he's in the 25% for height, 50-75% for weight (how did that happen??!)  and 50-75% for head circumference.

We don't have to go back to the doctor until he's three. THREE?!!  Our doctor is sweet, she said she doesn't want to wait that long, but hopes it's for nothing serious, just a case of the sniffles.  Aww!

In a recent email from a mailing list I am on, it had a calculator to "predict" how tall your child would be at age 18.  Here's the results for Cody ~ interesting!

Height Predictor

Your boy will likely be 5 ft. 10 in. at age 18.

Young men often continue to grow a little past 18 until they reach 21, but their height at age 18 is very close to their final adult height. This prediction is a "best guess" but it's still just that -- a guess. Based on the formula we used* there is a 50 percent chance that your boy's full-grown height will be within 0.8 inches (above or below) of this prediction, and a 90 percent chance that it will be within 2.1 inches.

Diapers.com

If you have a little one in diapers, then you'll want to pay attention to this post!

Diapers.com

Diapers.com delivers diapers, wipes, formula and other baby necessities at reasonable prices with fast and free shipping.  And when I say fast, I mean fast!  I recently ordered three large packages of Huggies Overnight Diapers that I am really having a hard time finding in any retail store (read: I cannot find them anywhere!!)  This website carries them and at a good price, too.  One of the things that I really like about this website is that you can mail in your manufacturer's coupons, and they will credit them to your account.  It took less than a week for the coupons to be credited to my account.  I scored a great deal with a good price, coupons & free shipping.  And all delivered right to your door, no hassle, no fuss!

Right now, if you enter my email address or Referral Code on the shopping cart screen, you'll get an extra $10 off your first order of diapers ($49 minimum total order. Cloth diapers excluded. Other restrictions may apply).   Wahoo!!

I'm No Longer a Rainbow Foods Rookie!

Well, okay, I am...but at least I have experienced my first journey through Double Coupon Daze!  I actually took advantage of the Double-Double-Daze a few weeks ago.  Typically, Rainbow Foods allows you to double coupons on Wednesdays & Saturdays, and the limit is 5 doubled coupons.  OH - to have a store that doubled coupons all the time - I would be in heaven.  But, I digress.

So, the week that I tried out Rainbow for the first time (in couponing, anyway), they actually allowed you to double 10 coupons, instead of 5.  Wahoo!  And my favorite Coffeemate coffee creamer was on sale for 99 cents a bottle.  That's right, 99 cents a bottle!!  That's a great deal in itself, but you know me, I had coupons for it!

I also was able to get some other stuff for a great price, so here's how the transaction went.  I had to spend $25 before coupons were deducted, so that's why there are a few random things in there (goodies & birthday party food!):

Taco Sauce $2.19
Oreo Cakesters $2.69
Reese's Pieces bag of candy $3.19
Mini Corn Dogs - 2 boxes @ $2.50 each
Bananas - 3 pounds - $1.46
Grapes - nearly 3 pounds - $2.69
Coffeemate creamer - 10 bottles, yes, I said 10 - $0.99 each

After doubled coupons & a few other coupons, my total was $10.31 and I saved $41.66.  Wahoo!

For the items with coupons and double-coupons, it worked out to be:
Oreo Cakesters - $1.69/box
Corn Dogs - $1.50/package
Reese's Pieces - free (received coupon in the mail for buying a regular size candybar)
Coffeemate - 10 bottles for $1.10 or 11 cents each!!!


WAHOO!  Now I can finally throw my receipt away since I've bragged it up!

There are a couple of bloggers that post about Rainbow deals, that I would tell you about, but to be honest, I'm not a super fan of either one.  I just don't like the layout of their sites that well.  Like I know anything though...

Coborn's Deals

With all my spare time that I have (ha ha), I decided to create a new blog today.  I really want to get into the deal/coupon/mommy blogging world.  I don't know when I think I will have time to do this though.


At any rate, I noticed that no bloggers out there (that I know of) are covering the Coborn's grocery store deals.  True, there are not that many Coborn's stores (they are in Minnesota and South Dakota only) but I figured it was worth a shot.  I did read recently that Cub Foods in the St. Cloud area was bought out by Coborn's, but these stores are changing/changed to Cashwise, not Coborn's.  (Coborn's owns Cashwise stores also)


Introducing the new blog:
Coborn's Deals


We'll see if my plans go anywhere!
