Crazy Bayer Aspirin Deal at Walgreens!

Christie over at WildforWags is a saint for keeping us in the know on all things Walgreens - she just sent me a heads up for an AWESOME deal on Bayer Low-Dose Asprin!

Bayer Low Dose 32ct Aspirin is regularly priced at $2.99.
There is a Monthly RR deal where you earn a $3 RR wyb 2.
There is a $1/1 Bayer Aspirin 10ct+ in 3-21 SS or PRINT
There is a $3/1 Aspirin Walgreens Q in the coming week's ad (starting 4/18) that pictures the 32ct Low Dose Aspirin!

Put 'em together and whadya got?

 ~ Bibbity-Bobbity-FREE BAYER ASPIRIN!~

Buy *2* Bayer Aspirin Low Dose 32ct = $5.98
Use *2*  $1/1 from the 3/21 SS = $3.98
Stack with $3/1 Bayer Aspirin In-Ad Coupon (Deducts $6) = Negative $2.02

NOTE: You'll need a $2.02 filler for this, and even then - the register might not accept all the coupons.  The cash register will likely beep, so just go ahead and expect it.  In fact, I have no hope of this actually working at my Walgreens.  If forced to choose between the coupons - only use the in-ad coupons and it will still be free!  Now back to the story...

Total = FREE ~ Get $3 Register Reward

(makes it a $3 - $5.02 MONEY MAKER!)

Christie used 7 exclamation points on that last sentence (hehe)!

"Mom,

You are the glue that holds are family together 

and makes all the pieces fit.

We love you so much, Happy Mother's Day."

Since Pixable allows you to simply transfer photos (or entire albums of photos) from Facebook, Flickr, Picasa,or Photobucket in 1 Easy Step - this photo mosaic took me all of 10 minutes to make - and it will only cost me $5.95 SHIPPED!!  If you use that zoomy tool to zoom in - you can see that all the pictures are clearly visible still - I think this is really, really cool.

Birthday Cakes On A Budget: Airplane Cake

As spring & summer begin to roll around, birthday parties move away from Chuck E Cheese's, roller rinks, and arcades - and into our own backyards.  With the home party, comes the home cake - about 90% cheaper and yummier than a store cake (In my opinion!)

If you've taken advantage of cake and frosting deals at the grocery - your total cost to bake and ice a 9x13" cake will be about $1 (including eggs & oil).

If you buy a 9x13" Sheet Cake at a grocery or Walmart, you'll pay $20.  A "theme" cake will cost you upwards of $40.  In my family - $40 is about all we spend on each child's birthday, so naturally we opt for the home-cake :)

If you too are trying to cut costs on your child's birthday party this year - I'll be helping you out with a new segment on "amateur" cake decorating.  These aren't expensive, they aren't fancy, and they don't take much know-how.

Let's start with a super-easy cake:

The Airplane Cake

Easiest Airplane Cake.  Ever.

• Bake a cake, any size, any flavor.
• Dye a can of icing blue, and put in the microwave for about 20 seconds, or just until you could scoop/pour it over the cake easily.  I still had to spread mine around some, but warming it up for just a bit gives it a little shine and makes it spread much more smoothly.
• Put your pre-bought airplane somewhere on the cake, push it down a bit so the wheels anchor it in the cake.
• Fill an icing bag with white icing (canned or otherwise) and use one of your large tips to pipe out some big, cheerful cumulus clouds here, there and in the corners.  If you don’t have an icing bag, you can use a ziploc bag with a hole snipped in the corner.  If you find yourself entirely bagless, like me this time, you could even spoon all your icing into one of those cookie presses.  For clouds this billowy, you don’t need precision.
• Make a curly-q of chocolate chips trailing from the airplane to give it that “Just flew in to wish you a Happy Birthday!!” look.
• Put it in the fridge and wait for party time.

Want more cake ideas?  Stay tuned for next Friday!
