A Savvy STEAL!

We were in the market for a double stroller of some sort since I have Lilly with me and watch a little one as well.  Walks were tough since both wanted to be in the the stroller so out I went shopping.  Of course, there was no way I was going to the store to spend $100+ dollars for any stroller so I set out to shop in the comfort of my own home on Craigslist! 

I came across a Joovy Caboose stroller (similar to a Sit n' Stand).  The seller was asking for $75 for a stroller that was only used a few times and in 'great' condition.  A brand new stroller retails from $130-200 (more on the 200 side if you don't buy it on-line)

Let's just say one persons 'great' condition is definitely different than another persons 'great' condition.  For me, great condition would be gently used but still in out of the box condition. 

He dropped it off this morning and it was in LESS than 'great' condition.  It had mold all over the handles, cobwebs, crumbs, dirty all over  It was definitely not in great condition and definitely not worth $75.  I got him down to $45 since he did deliver it to me and saved me a 2 hour drive there and back. 

I took some Sol-U-Mel, rubbed it over the handles and the mold was just erased away.  Gave it good vacuum, washed down the rest of the stroller (including wheels) with Tough & Tender and then sprayed Sol-U-Guard disinfectant over the stroller to get rid of the smell and just disinfect the stroller. 

See below the before & after pics and my great buy for today!

You can't see the mold too well on the first handle but you can see it on the second handle.

My 'brand' new stroller all cleaned up and ready to roll!  It is in now 'GREAT' condition and in out of the box condition!


My great 'steal'!

If you have any hard to get stains off and would like to try some new cleaning/household products let me know! 
As you can see they work wonders!

I am also very excited to announce that I will be setting appointments for coupon seminars for those that are interested.  I will share with you the ins and outs of couponing, how to set up your coupon system, how to make a grocery list by goig through the ads with your coupons, how to use coupons, how to save the most on your orders, and how to go green all with putting those green dollars in your pocket!

Super Savvy Sunday!

Some great deals at Marsh this week!
This week at Marsh they have their awesome sale that if you purchase any 10 of their specified items you automatically get $5 off on top of the items having a great sale price!  So for EVERY 10 specified you buy you automatically get $5 off!  You can buy 10 of the same item or you can mix and match.  This week I purchased 50 of those items and received $25 off my purchase!

Here are some of the deals I got:

Green Giant Large Bag of Frozen Vegetables: the ad price is $2.49 and when you purchase 10 they are $1.99 each.  I had a $1 coupon so each bag I purchased was $.99 each.
Ritz crackers: add price is $2.49 and when you purchase 10 they are $1.99 each.  I had a $1 coupon so each box was $.99 each.
Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls: the ad price is $1.69 and when you purchase 10 they are $1.19 each.  I had a $.35 coupon (which doubled) and made each package $.49 each.
Homemade Ice Cream: the ad price is $2.99 and when you purchase 10 they are $2.49 each.  I had a coupon for $1 off each package so I paid $1.49 for each
Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks: the ad price is $1.99 and when you purchase 10 they are $1.49 each.  I had a coupon if you purchase 2 you get .50 off which doubles to $1.  So each box was only $1 each.
Yoplait Delights: the ad price was $2.49 and when you purchase 10 they are $1.99 each.  I had a $.50 off coupon which doubled to $1 so each package was only $.99 each.
Betty Crocker Cake Mix: on sale for $1 a box.  I had a $.50 off coupon which doubled so the boxes I purchased were FREE!

Another great deal at Marsh is Tuttorosso Pasta sauce.  We were in need of sauce for lasagna and saw that Marsh had it for $1 each.  Well worth the cost.  The sauce was just as good or really even better than Ragu or Prego.  It does have a zest of spices so if you like spices and a great pasta sauce this is a great deal!

So in the end my total was $267 but after my Marsh card was swiped and coupons were used I only spent $118 for groceries that will last us quite a while!

Have an awesome week!

Savvy Saving Sunday!

Boo on not-so-great ads and coupons!

Here are some deals for this week (sorry there are not a lot!)

Kroger

General Mills cereal  $1.49 each with $1.00 off coupon from 10-31 FINAL PRICE 4.96 for 4 boxes.
Sunny D $1 each with .25 coupon FINAL PRICE .50

On a side-note for those that want to "go green" Kohls has their recyclable collapsible totes on clearance for .79 each which is a great deal since the bags are normally 1.99 each.  Note that the bags are located back by customer service so if you look for them at the front of the store they will not be there the new design that is 1.99 will be there.  I use my Kohls bags everywhere when I shop instead of the plastic bags.  Target and Marsh will give you .05 back for each bag you use.  The great thing about the Kohls bags are that they hold at up to 5-6 plastic bags worth of groceries,  they have long handles so you can put them over your shoulders and carry them comfortably and they hold 3 gallons of milk!  I store mine by putting all of the bags folded into one bag and then putting my binder in there as well.  Now, to prevent the loss of your recyclable bags in your cart since it is the first thing that goes in, purchase a mommy-clip.  You can find these at Babies R' Us and I am sure you can find them at Buy Buy Baby.  They are only $8 and you can clip it on your cart handle and then hang your bags from it.   Another use for these bags is for your recycling.  I put all of my recycling in the bags and drop them off the recycling every week (or so I try)   So all in all, these bags are definitely a great buy!

Have a great week!
