House Party

I hosted a House Party this weekend for the Ball Canning Company. It was a fun way to get together with some of my friends and try out their canning products. We canned some strawberry jam...delicious and so very easy.

This is also the reason that I went over my budget this last week: I bought a 4 lb. package of strawberries at Costco to use in our jam. When I pulled them out for the party, more than HALF of them had gone bad! My friend ran to the store and bought four more pounds of strawberries so that we could make the jam. : ( Of course, when I go back to Costco I will have to let them know about this...

House Party is a win-win-win situation: the company wins by getting the word of mouth out about their products, you win by getting some great goodies to keep, and your friends win by getting to attend a fun party and take home some treats of your own.

For this House Party (my third), the GENEROUS Ball Company sent me a water canner with rack (very nice), a smaller plastic rack (called a Discovery Canner) that also came with three jars, a canning utensil set (jar lifter, magnetic lid lifter, funnel, etc.), coupons for free jars, coupons for $ off jars, and more. It was such an amazing "party pack". My friends got sent home with goodie bags with coupons and some pectin to make their own jam as well as the fruits of our labors.

January Report

I'm not sure why it was so tough for me to stay on budget in January. I ended up going over my $440 budget by about $40. I did spend a little more on diapers this month because I got behind on the diaper deals, so I'll try to keep up better this month.

I did get $35.98 worth of free stuff this month,though, including:

• $9 in free gas (Safeway power pump rewards)
• 20 pk. Electrasol power tabs
• Cascade rinse agent (from Right @ Home coupon booklet)
• Classico pasta sauce (rec'd free coupon from mfr.)

I'm reducing my budget to $420 this month, which shouldn't be bad, considering there are only 28 days in this month! I signed up for a 4 week trial subscription to a CSA (community supported agriculture) and am really excited for it to start next week. I'm splitting it with my sister to save some money and to make sure that we use all that produce. I'll give you a report on how well it works for us. I'm hoping that by centering more of our meals around fresh produce, we will reduce our food budget.

I feel like I've gotten a little discouraged with my food budget because I'm having trouble finding the time to gather and organize my coupons, thus forgetting them before my shopping trips. Or I find out the item I've purchased is on sale the next week. Before my babies went to one nap, I used to plan my shopping during their second nap, but now that it's consolidated into one, I find myself using that time for other things! I know I need to get into a better schedule...they're not the only ones making the adjustment!

I hope you did well on your budgets for January. With the new month comes the chance to do better than before!

A different kind of date night

One of our New Year's Resolutions was to go out on more dates! This past weekend, Husband and I went on a little bit different kind of date night. We're always looking for something besides that "dinner and a movie" routine. We went to dinner and then over to Borders, where we used our buy one, get one free coupon to get 2 hot chocolates (coupon good through March 3rd!). We browsed around a little bit, then headed to the magazines to check out some of our favorites. Then we found two comfy chairs in the corner and sipped our hot chocolate while flipping through our magazines. We only stayed for less than an hour, but it was so nice! We got a chance to talk (about things other than babies) and have some quiet time. So fun.

Valentine's Day is coming up, so I'd love to hear what plans you have for making this day special...and not too pricey, of course!

Free Bath & Body Works Signature Item

I hit the mall today because I am attending a double baby shower tonight and I needed some BabyGap gifts, stat! Thanks to Money Saving Mom, I quickly printed off this coupon for a free signature item from Bath & Body Works, just in case the babies would let me venture in.

Bath & Body Works is having a mega sale right now. They have redesigned their signature line with all new packaging (very fancy and very beautiful), so all the "old" stuff is on sale. A lot of other items are on sale, too. Since the coupon is a free signature item with ANY purchase, I picked up a travel size of the Warm Vanilla Sugar bubble bath for $1 and then a full size of the same for my free item. My mom loves that scent (and bubble bath), so I'll probably stick it in with her birthday present (the full sized one...the travel size is for me!).

I love how finding coupons and deals like this can help me to be more generous with the people I love. Normally, that bottle of body wash would have cost $12! But now, after only paying a buck, I can give my mom something else fabulous too.

The coupon expires January 25th (Sunday), so you have a few more days to stop in and get some inexpensive goodies!
