Acorn Treats
Here is a super cute and easy fall snack that the kids and I made this morning.
Step 1: Melt some of the chocolate chips (or you could use chocolate wafers). Place melted chocolate in sandwich bag and cut off the end. Put a dot of chocolate on each cookie and top with a Hershey Kiss. Allow to get hard (only takes a few minutes)
Step 2: Place a dot of melted chocolate on the opposite side of the cookie and top with a chocolate chip.
It took us only about 20 minutes to make these yummy snacks.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Cars 2 Couponing
I am not an extreme couponer, although I wish I were. I think it's amazing how people can get these deals. But after today, I have learned that I do not have the time or patience to prepare for a shopping trip. So bear with me as I outline the awesome deal I got on the Cars 2 5-disc combo pack at Target:
Transaction #1:
There is a $10 mail in rebate if you buy $20 worth of Kimberly Clark products and Cars 2.
Pullups - $9.49
Scott paper towels - 12.79 (after using a $1 manufacturers coupon)
Kleenex tissues - 6.03
Total: $28.31
In one of the coupons inserts in last Sunday's paper, there was a coupon for Target that if you purchased $25 in Kimberly Clark products you would receive a $5 gift card.
There is also a $10 mail in rebate from Johnson & Johnson if you purchase $10 in Band-Aid products and Cars 2.
4 boxes of band-aids - 9.31 (after using a $1 manufacturers coupon)
Total price of transaction #1: 37.62
Transaction #2:
Cars 2 5-disc combo pack - Target sale price $29.99
I took in the ad for Best Buy, which has the same combo pack on sale this week for $24.99. Target does price match. So that took the price down to $24.99. Then I had a $5 off coupon printed from Disney, taking the price to $19.99. Used the $5 gift card I just received and then I had another $10 gift card for Target, making the final cost that I paid $4.99 plus tax.
So I paid $37.62 + 6.19 = 43.81 and will be getting $20 back in rebates.
I can understand how people get a thrill out of getting great deals, but still very time consuming. It takes a lot of planning to figure out how to make it all work correctly.
