Hancock Fabrics SALE....

It is no secret that i love Hobby Lobby. But did you know that i also LOVE Hancock Fabrics! I had to make a quick trip to town today and i stopped at Hancocks cause i had gotten their new mailer. Boy was i glad i did. And i wanted to share that with you. I just love passing on where to find good deals. If you live near one you will want to go check it out. They are having an AWESOME sale. I had $8.00 cash on me and i was determined to spend it...HA! Actually i might be going back...but today i only spent 8 dollars. I found 4 new patterns that struck my fancy. 2 are purse patterns, 1 is a few cute little outfits for little girl and 1 has patterns for storage baskets and round foot stools that i plan on making into beanbags for the little ones. :) I'm so excited! They were just 99 cents each!

I also found some fabric that is so cute and i already know what i'm going to make with it. :) Can't wait to share that with you. The fabric was only $1 a yard. Then i found a yard of plastic for my eye spy bags that i love to make....and it was only $1.00!!! So if you love to sew or quilt or craft...now is the time to check out your local Hancock Fabrics.

While my family was in...my mom taught me how to use my new serger machine. I have wanted one for so long. And now that i have one some of my sewing projects will look so much better. So don't be surprised if you see alot of sewing projects on here in the next few weeks. :)

Happy Monday....

A Penny Saved...

As a stay at home wife/mom i find it my "Job" to make the money my husband earns go as far as possible. I work hard at finding good deals and to stay as frugal as possible. I use coupons, i shop the sale racks, i go to consignment sales and thrift stores. I also have a membership to Costco. I went and scooped out Sams and found that Costco actually has the better deals and saves (me) more. We hit Costco up about every other Sunday. Why Sunday? Well because one we are already out and two little girl LOVES to go to the snack bar and get a big'ol hot dog. They have a deal on Hot dogs..you get the foot long dog and large drink for just $1.50!! Yep! I split it with her and get a very berry sunday for dessert. Then we peruse the isles for samples. That is her favorite part. Then i pick up my usual...Huggies, Wipes, Batteries, Milk. Why those items? How much is saved?? Huggies usually cost around $10 for a pack of 32. I get a box of 224 for $40. So that saves me around $30 (for the equivalent). I save about $7 on wipes. On Batteries i save $4. And Milk i save 0.35 cents per gallon. Trust me that adds up when you have a 2 yr old running around. Worth the $50 membership...YES! For me anyway. What are some ways you save money??
