This morning, when I opened the Taco Bell app, the $5 Taco Discovery Box was already in my bag which includes the MTN DEW Baja Blast, Catina Chicken Crispy Taco, Avocado Verde Salsa Packet, Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Taco and a Cruncy Taco for $5. I think 3 tacos and a drink for $5 is an excellent for lunch!

The CVS Maison Perrier Ultimate Sparkling Water Deal Worked Great!🎉

The CVS Maison Perrier Ultimate Sparkling Water deal worked exactly as Couponing with Sal said in her video. I had a $4 ECB from the FREE Clairol Hair Color deal from earlier this month which lowered my out of pocket AND I was able to roll the Extra Bucks into actual cash with the Ibotta rebate!!!

I paid $4.08 with tax and I got back $7 which is amazing for me.

I had never heard of Couponing with Sal but when I looked on YouTube, this morning, she was a channel recommended for me to watch and I am glad I did because I kept thinking to myself "What am I going to do with the $4 ECB?" I'm so grateful that it all worked out!

By the way, the water is 16.9 fl. oz and it was tagged $2.59 BUT it rang up for $2.49 each. ALSO, when I checked online to see if my nearest store had them in stock, it didn't them but I know, from experience, that items in the refrigerator isn't always reflected in their inventory online. It's a situation that you'll have to go to the actual store and look.

This morning, on YouTube, Couponing with Sal (first time I've ever watched a video by her) and I saw that she had picked up the Maison Perrier Ultimate Sparkling Water and in her YouTube video, she tells us about a little glitch. The video should start at the 11:16 mark...or you can watch the entire video because she talks about a lot of CVS deals.

Check Shopkicks for Select Nabisco Cookies & Crackers Deal (YMMV)!!!

Go to your Shopkicks account and under Walmart, look for the Nabisco Teddy Grahms, Chips Ahoy or Oreo Cookies Cookies or Ritz Crackers offers. I believe the limit is 4 and the offers are for select sizes. Each item cost $3.48 each, therefore, after rebate, they will cost $0.48 each.

At the store, you must scan the products with the Shopkick app to ensure that they are a participating item.

This offer is only for a select few because most didn't get the offer (including me).

Good Luck!!!

Plotting and Planning

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!!! HELLO, CHERYL!!!

When you wake up and it's overcast in July, it means that it's going to be a very humid day. I need to get a newer laptop because I've had my MacBook Air almost 10 years (I got in 2015) and I guess Apple is no longer providing updates for my computer which means that I can't get update for my browsers. I have never had a virus nor purchased virus software for this computer. My middle brother is into tech and I asked for his recommendation.

He told me the first thing I needed to do get a new credit card with no annual fees that will give you like $300 or $400 back when you spend like $3,000 in the first 90 days. Use that credit card to buy the computer and of course, pay off the credit card right away and you've saved $300 or $400 on the computer.

Now, let me tell you that I have a "New Computer Fund" because I knew at sometime, one of us is going to need a new computer. Mr. Man's computer is about 3 years old so he's good. But when you plan your purchases, you don't have to rush and get any old thing.

We don't just put stuff on a credit card and then make the minimum payment, we make plans. We estimate how much something is going to cost and then we make automatic payments into that particular account until it's fully funded.

Anyways, there will not be a coupon insert inside the Sunday newspapers. It’s Saturday …enjoy your day! On Sundays, I take the day off from blogging.

Marshall's: Puma Cali Wedge Women's Sneakers Only $34.99 (Reg. $90)

During the summer months, I love wearing a denim dress, capri pants, flowered shorts, linen tops, linen pants and...a bright white tennis shoe. I am a shoe girlie and I have all kinds sandals, flip flops and tennis shoes to fit whatever aesthetic that I am going for on a particular day.

I found the Puma Cali Wedge Women's Sneakers at Marshall's for $34.99 but you can find the Puma Cali Wedge on the Puma website for $90. The wedge is about 2 inches, however, you must try on the tennis shoes before you buy because according to the Puma website, these shoes run small and I can attest to this because I normally wear a size 6 in women's shoes but Marshall's didn't have a size 6 and I took a chance and I tried on a size 6 1/2 shoe and it worked for me.

The Tennis shoes is almost giving a nurse vibe with the exception being the shiny gold lettering. My dad sandals (the picture of the shiny gold doesn't do them justice) are super comfortable but I probably would not have gotten except for the shiny gold hardware on the sandals that gives the sandals an elevated look.

Let me say that I always wears socks with tennis shoes because I don't like sweaty feet and I happened to be wearing tennis shoes when I walked into Marshall's and tried on the Pumas. My feet almost leans towards being narrow so I do have a little room in the shoe.

I wouldn't go hiking in the Puma Cali Wedge Women's Sneakers but I am very satisfied with my $34.99 Marshall's find!
