Bargain Shopper: 70% OFF Red Dot Merchandise at Target

I stoped by my local Target on yesterday and as usual I stopped by the Target $1 section first and I came across a lot of real neat and useful items for only a buck. Not only was these items a buck but most of the things I picked up were 70% off (red dot items only)! I notice they had a lot of summer party stuff as well as a lot of Marvel Comics stuff (I guess it's because the Texas International Comic Convention is coming up). I was able to pick up three things for my kiddo, two mini Buzzy Seeds greenhouses and a fanny pack (I have been looking every where for one of these) for under $4 bucks. The fanny pack was it was regularly $3 but I picked it up for $0.90, the animal crackers were regular price ($1) and everything else was only $0.30 each. I'm not sure if this was only this location but if you plan to stop by Target any time soon be sure to check it out.



I'm looking forward to growing these!

Bargain Shopper: What is Ibotta?

Let me start by saying that this new program is awesome! Now the scoop on Ibotta:

What is Ibotta?

Ibotta is an app for smartphones (Android and iPhone) that allows you to save money when you purchase popular products. You can learn facts, watch videos and take one question surveys before purchasing a product to earn cash. Also, Ibotta now has bonus offers for opportunities to earn even more cash back. So far I've earned over thirty bucks since I started using this app in April.

How do I Get Paid?

Once you have purchased the product, you simply submit a picture of your receipt showing your purchase of the item. After you’ve redeemed offers totaling $5 or more, Ibotta lets you transfer your earnings directly to your PayPal account. Choose “Withdraw Cash” from the main menu of the app, then select “Get My Cash” to link Ibotta to your PayPal account.

What Stores are Ibotta Coupons Good At?

There is currently over 40 stores that are partnered with Ibotta and they are adding more all of the time. Some of the stores currently participating are CVS, Walgreens, Kroger, Walmart, Target, and Family Dollar just to name a few.

Relationship Post: Pat Robertson Gives Marriage Advice - What are your thoughts?

Butterflies....I can't even! So, I was supposed to be sleeping but I had to send a few emails, anyway I somehow ended up watching this video and let’s just say I won't be going to bed anytime soon.

First, to say “men will be men” is basically saying, it's ok he can cheat on you because he is a man and then to say that “it's a spouse's job to keep the other mate in line” is preposterous! It's each individual’s own responsibility to have willpower and not give in to temptation. At the end of the day people (men and women) are going to do what they want to do or at least what they think they can get away with. I did agree with a few things he had to say but for the most part his comments and advice were ridiculous.

I can personally attest to the fact that marriage takes a lot of work, it might look easy from the outside but it's something you have to constantly work at and be 100% committed to. After years of being together life happens, sometimes couples grow apart and fall out of love with each other, that's why it's important to stay focused and enjoy the things you love about your spouse each day.
