GIANT Huggies Wipes Bags $2.50 at CVS! (DEAD DEAL)

Well, good things don't last forever.... CVS has officially changed the price BACK to $7.99. Glad some of you guys were able to snag some for the low-low price of $2.99! And sorry to those who missed it.

 I don't know if this is a pricing glitch or some super-secret deal!  The super-duper big bags of Huggies Wipes refills are ringing up for only $2.50 ea!  That's the cost of a regular-size tub, for about 4X the wipes.
*UPDATE: ForTheMommas is reporting that some people have received a $2/1 Huggies coupon from the CVS Magic Coupon Machine - which would make these only 50¢!!

Think outside the box with these...this could be a GREAT donation item for a church nursery, pregnancy center or mom that you know.   A pack of wipes can make someone's day!

You might need to price check them, to be sure - and they may or may not be marked.  Leave a comment if you are able to find some!

- Thanks, MommyOctopus!

NEW: $1/1 Pillsbury Grands & $3/1 Aveeno Shampoo!

 Here are a couple new printables for you this morning:

• $3/1 Aveeno Baby Essential Moisture Shampoo PRINT (FF Link)

• $1/1 Pillsbury Grands Frozen Biscuits PRINT *Thanks Pamela!

If you like the Pillsbury Grands that are frozen in the bag, but can't find a good sale on them - here is a great tip from Tiffany (aka: FoxFunds)

"Yes, you can freeze a whole can of biscuits, but if you take them out of the can and flash freeze them on cookie sheets - you can make your own "pillsbury singles" biscuits. Freeze them and load up your freezer bags for one biscuit, two or twenty - they come out as fluffy as they were before freezing. I froze 80 biscuits today! 

 Another idea - bake biscuits until golden (not QUITE all the way). Cook sausage/bacon, bake eggs in muffin tins, add a piece of cheese. Wrap in wax paper & freeze for a fast breakfast during the week!"

Thanks for the tip, Tiffany!  I just got 12 cans of Grands FREE last night at Bi-Lo with the Pillsbury Catalina (ended yesterday) - and if I had a bigger freezer I would LOVE to try this out!  As it is, I just have my regular old kitchen fridge/freezer.   Leave a comment if you have any great "ways with biscuits", for those of us who have stocked up a lot lately!

Perspective

Last year, I received an email from my best friend and college roommate, Whitney that her seven year old son had brain cancer.  They took him to the doctor thinking he might have low blood sugar, but instead it was cancer - her family's world changed in a moment.  Instead of Forester returning to first grade he would instead be admitted to the hospital for brain surgery to remove the tumor followed by months of radiation and chemo.  Their faith and hope in the Lord is incredible here is a link to Forester's story and how it all began.  I would encourage you to go back through the archives and start from the beginning, and read their journey.  What a testimony of God's grace and mercy in the midst of a "fiery furnace."  Start HERE in January 2009, at the birth announcement of their new baby girl.  The next post is the beginning of their journey.  Praise the Lord!!  Forester is now cancer free and has just returned to school.   

Today, when I read Whitney's most recent post about perspective HERE I could relate.  In the midst of my dad's cancer, my three year old daughter being diagnosed with diabetes, and us having three mortgages I remember those same feelings.  I don't ever want to lose sight of what my heart truly desires.  It's not for my house to be perfect, or laundry to be done, or even my grocery list ready.  Those things are nice but in light of eternity and my family they mean nothing. 

Here is a link to the blog that Whitney referred to in her post.  Below is a picture of Layla Grace.  I couldn't get through the first post without crying and hurting for this family.  So tonight, before I go to bed as I look around at what appears to be the remnants of a bomb that has blown up in my house I am going to thank God for the mess.  Dirty laundry means that my family is alive, toys on the floor mean my children are healthy, and my worn out tired body means that I was able to work today.  As I kiss my babies good night, I want to make sure that I thank God for today and his blessings in my life. 

I would like to ask that all of you pray for Layla Grace and her family.  To pray for Whitney's family and Forester's continual healing.  I know that this post is hard to read, and that the emotions that it stirs are difficult to feel, but the gift of keeping our lives in TRUE perspective is priceless.     

     

Layla Grace - February 12th

(her first bubble bath since May of last year) 

  

God, I pray that you hold your precious daughter Layla in your arms tonight and comfort her as she sleeps.  I pray that she rests peacefully and free from pain.  I can't imagine how much her parents are hurting it seems impossible to face, I pray that you would carry them.  I pray that your presence would be so real and that your peace that passes all understanding would envelope their mind and hearts.  Give them strength that is beyond their own, and hope for tomorrow.
