Extreme Coupon What's Working? What's Not?

Shopping makes me crazy and it's not often I leave the mountain to trek out to the busy traffic to shop for myself. If you have followed my blog you know I have a very hard time finding jeans to fit. Through the years I have always known that Levi's fit the best but can cost so much.

Today I found a deal I couldn't pass up. JCPenny had a sale on levi's for 34.98 and I had a coupon for 20% off that I found online. I also got a coupon in the mail. I tried on 3 pair I liked them so much I got them in 3 different styles. Boot cut and straight leg could only find one pair in my length but they will shink.

So I get to the check out I get another 20% off if I fill out the penny's credit card app. So I did and saved 40% more. Low and behold the cashier tells me today is customer appreciation day and it's another 15% off. Holly cow how great is that? So I had a gift card from my birthday for 50.00 and ended up paying 22.00 for 3 pair of Levi's. My total would have been $73.00 and that is not bad for Levi's. They are all a bit big but at least when I bend over my butt will not be sticking out. besides jeans all have Lycra now so they will shrink over time. Why do they do that? What happen to the old no Lycra cotton jeans?

So yesterday I went and cut coupons out of the news paper. I had to get some groceries and cut out the ones I thought I could use for things I needed. It didn't go well. First the store brand was cheaper by a lot! I couldn't find half the brands I had coupons for and all of them were 2 or more dollars more then the store brand and they weighed less. So my couponing at the grocery store bombed. Doesn't matter I saved big on jeans.

Tell me about your coupon adventures. I would love to hear some of your great saves and what works for you best. where do you save and where do you find those great coupons?

A blast From the Past

Wow I remember this guy. I had one as a kid and remember going to big boys when I was just little. I used to put all my tooth fairy money in it. When I got to be about 7 or 8 I cut the bottom out to get my money to buy a horse book and poster. I remember getting into trouble for it to. LOL I taped him back up and used him for years as a piggy bank. This one is in good shape I think I scrapped his eyes off because he was scary in the night. Kids!! You can find this on Etsy Here

Summer Projects and Craft Events at Pure Bath and Beauty

This summer has flew by so quickly I can't even believe it's almost over. With a very busy show season it has been hard to keep up with my internet marketing. I had a few minutes and thought I would share a few projects and things I have been working on.
I will be having a craft show event here at my house on the 13 and 14th of August. The same day as the Eagles Mere Craft Show. I thought I would have my gram hang her sweaters and my sister and Mother bring their items also and do a whole weekend at our house so we can catch some of the happenings going on too.
So if your in the area come on by. I will have things set up 10am to about 4 pm. both days.

My items are now in the Artisan Market on main street in Muncy. Last night was the last Friday event and it was nice to meet some of the people who have stopped by to see whats new. I will be there for the next even also and that is the last Friday of August on the 26th.

Our newest items coming up will be our chocolate coffee scrub, Bye bye bug spay and our delectable soaps. I have a few pictures listed here.

The Cake Soaps will be $6.00 each I will be making lots more and starting our Halloween items and Christmas soaps soon too. If you have any ideas please share them with me. If you would like to order a cake or cup cake soaps in a scent of your choice give me at least 6 weeks notice. It takes time to cure them.

I have a lot of fun creating them and my cakes have gotten away from me a bit. They look like carnival rides. LOL These are cut in half  and will be sold as one item. I will have them packaged in silver boxes and decorated nice. You can also get these at the Artisan Market in Muncy Pa at Orlando's Bistro. These will be ready August 9th.

My fiance and I have been doing a bit of gardening and our plants have really come out nice. Today I picked 2 very nice sized zucchini to make a casserole out of. I will have to share my recipe with you all. Once I find it myself. It's very rich and yummy.

This is just a few of the things I have been up too. Creating jewelry also I will share that with you tomorrow. I hope to pop in every day and let you in on our referral program too. So until tomorrow stay cool and have a fun rest of the summer.
