Dairy Queen Buy One Get One for $0.99!

*** I want to note that I was such a nice wife when hubby ordered a weird pineapple, coconut one tonight, and then didn't like it, I traded him my yummy M & M one. Aren't I nice. :)

$5 Challange

I sometimes hear people complain that they can't coupon or build a stockpile because they don't have the money to buy anything extra. Trust me I understand that, but I promise you that you can build a stockpile with just $5 or less a week! I'm not kidding. Yes, it will take a little longer, but with just $5 you can have a well rounded stockpile in just a few months!

Most of us live in the real world. We aren't going to build our stockpiles with one large insane haul like on the popular TV shows. Guess what people.. That's TV! They spend months getting ready and the show insures that they have access to the very best coupons and LOTS of them. Again.. That's TV. This, my friends, is the real world.

I use lots and lots of coupons each and every week on items I use every single day, but when it comes to items I just need to "stock-up" on I try to limit my spending. Again, I want to note that I buy a lot of items that I donate or give away, but my point is you don't have to. You can build a stockpile for $5 a week!

What are the advantages of this method?
* You don't spend hours upon hours cutting out coupons and looking up sale items. You focus on just a couple items each week.
* You don't have to buy a bunch of Sunday papers. You can simply print them (for free) and use what you have.
* You build a stockpile slowly and you save money by having items on hand and NOT having to run to the store and pay ... full price.. gasp!

 I'm not done with my shopping for this week. I made a quick run to Dollar General and CountryMart tonight before class. There are several items that they didn't have that I want to pick up later this week, but here is a $5 example.

 

So lets talk about what you get. 

* 2 Bottles of Deodorant. So a good couple months worth, unless you are like me and put it on several times a day. lol

* 12 Razors. That should last awhile. These are better than the cheapo ones so honestly you are looking at a good 3-6 months. Longer depending on how long you use them. 

* 8 Sponges (they are 2 pack) So Again if you open one pack a month. They last awhile I run mine through the dishwasher to clean and sanitize them.

* Dental Floss. I use a lot of dental floss! Ever since my last few visits to the dentist I'm an avid dental floss fan. Just one package, so this isn't really a stock up but would last awhile.

* Kool-Aid this item isn't really a stock item for me as we use it really fast, BUT if you bought an extra 8 packs (on sale 8/$1 this week) you could have some extras stocked up.

* Cookie Mix. I use this as a stock up because I normally make homemade cookies, but these are GREAT to have around for a late night snack when hubby wants me to make some and I may be out of stuff to make them from scratch. 

RETAIL VALUE:  $24.50 

My Cost $5.50 (ya I know I went over $0.50) 

So, a few things to stock up on and maybe a few things that are everyday use. Either way you go is great. By only buying these items, you have saved almost $20 ($19 to be exact), you will have them on hand when you need them and have only spent $5.50.

 Now that you have a couple months worth of Razors, Deodorant, and Sponges, plus have a few extra treats, next week you can pick something else to stock up on.

Happy Shopping!

Compare & Save Swiffer Wet Jet VS's O'Cedar Spray Mop

I recently made the switch from my Swiffer Wet Jet to a new O'Cedar Spray Mop. First let me say, I loved my Swiffer. I love how it cleans and I love the smell of their solutions. What I don't love.. the price.

Here's the breakdown..

First the Swiffer:

 

Here's the Cost:

Swiffer Mop:  $19.97 

Disposable Refill Pads: $12.97 for 24

Cleaning Solution: $9.42 for 2 Pack

4 AA Batteries: $3.77

Cleans very well. The bottles are NOT refillable. You have to use their cleaning products, which are good products, but expensive, All of the pads are disposable and pretty costly. 

So if you have to replace all of the disposable products every month (note they probably last a little longer than a month) you are looking at $26.16 every time you have to restock up. 

Just to make it fair we will throw in coupons: I occasionally get coupons for around $1 off Swiffer products. Only once did I get some for $2 off. So you might be able to save a few $$ if you stock up when you have coupons.

Still pretty expensive, but like I said before. It cleans well and I love it. 

Next the O'Cedar Spray Mop: 

Spray Mop: $19.98

WASHABLE Microfiber Pad Refill: $7.48 

OR Simi-Disposable Refills $6.98 10 Pack 

First you can use your own solution! You just simply refill the bottle that comes with the mop. I've even used my Homemade laundry Detergent. Cleans well and smells great! 

Also the pad that comes with the mop is WASHABLE! You can reuse it over and over again! I bought a second one just to have on hand if I'm busy washing mine. 

Even the disposable pads are semi-disposable. This means they can be washed up to three times before being tossed. So your pack of 10 is like a pack of 30. I love this because I still wanted the option of being able to throw away the pads for times when I'm moping around the toilet and such. 

There is no extra cost. Buy the mop, use whatever products you have. No need to buy refills until yours just wears out! Cleans just as well, if not better than my Swiffer. 

Hand's down my vote goes to the O'Cedar Mop. It's cleans better, is much cheaper, Better for the environment "Greener Product" and I never have to worry that I'm going to run out of supplies. 

So the next time you head to the store to pick up ANOTHER box of refills... It might be just as cheap and save you so much more money in the long run to pick up the new O'Cedar Mop.
