New blog!

I have a blog to document me saving $40,000 this year for the new house...it's called Operation $40K. Feel free to check it out-- that is where a lot of my frugal talk is going to be from now on...how to pinch pennies without pinching the family fun!

I will be having blog candy on there shortly...so keep an eye out!

That being said...here are a few deals I found this week:
1)
www.customcrops.com -- Cricut original machines for $65. Great if you are like me and need to finally replace yours...they have a lot of cartridges under $30 here often!
2)
Big Lots has been reported to have Cricut cartridges for $30 - selection varies by store, but usually the older ones
3)
Roundy's stores have buy 6 boxes General Mills cereals for regular price and get $10 off instantly ABD get a coupon for a free gallon of milk. Go on double coupon day with 6 coupons for $.75 off a box of cereal...5 of them will be doubled. That makes $8.25 off in coupons...so I shoot for boxes that are roughly $3 each. 6 x $3 = $18...take off $10 and then the $8.25 and all cereal is FREE! I know they are smaller boxes, but FREE is FREE! I could go up to the next size and spend about $1 per box...but why pay more? To bring that $18 up to $25 I will add $.99 packs of english muffins (for breakfast sandwiches and english muffin pizzas) and I am running low on sugar (for baking)!

I hope that helps you save a little of your own money -- stop back soon, as I will have some blog candy to give away!
