Dashing December Savings (frugal chatter 2014)

[Angela273]

We've missed you Granger, what type of baby coupons should I be looking for so I can send them to you!! You too Angela let me know and I will keep my eyes open for diapers, wipes, creams etc!!!

Thank you so much for the helpful offer. I think we are pretty set for Penentin. I could use more J&J baby coupons, Huggies wipes (use that with current son), Huggies diapers, Pampers diapers. LO is allergic to Pampers wipes, so we don't use those and I might not use them on the new baby. I made all of my own baby food with LO, so I plan on doing that again with this baby too. Thank you so much. The help is appreciated.

My SIL is pregnant with twin boys, currently 29wks. My neighbour/friend is currently 38wks pregnant with baby #4, also a boy.

edit: I exclusively BF LO so I don't anticipate needing formula coupons.

I will keep my eyes open for you, can you still do the J&J call ins? It is nice you have people close to you expecting as well for support and hopefully some hand me downs!

anything goes folks.....here's a chance to honk your own horn beep beep...




I guess my most lucrative accomplishment this year was taking on an unexpected second job to help out my sister in law.I made over 10,000.00 and didn't touch a dime so I will add to Jayden's Resp and the rest will go in my RSP, or maybe TFSA depending on how my deductions look.
I also saved 2400.00 because I quit smoking last year..I know a filthy habit and very few people knew I smoked but I did it and thank goodness I did with my health issues.Wish I could have done it years ago.
Those are the main financial gains for me.
I plan to cut corners more in the grocery bills this year and continue to shop year round for the holidays,I picked up my son in laws beautiful Billabong sweaters today for 30.00 regular 85.00 they are tucked away and ready for next year!! BEEP BEEP

beep beep for sure thriftygranny

Great score on the sweater for your son in law for next Christmas

After this years last minute shopping and back orders (sigh) I am going to start picking up stuff all year long for the stockings and gcs for stores such Canadian Tire where the guys (dh & Fil) tend to base the Christmas lists on . As for the kiddos it's so hard as their taste change or if Jaden has any free cash it's gone as he buys whatever he wants while Logan doesn't want anything, HOWEVER, he is really enjoying his ice cream maker which dh got him

Congrats on quitting smoking! That is a huge accomplishment and something of which to be very proud.

Baby coupons - any diaper (I don't need tons though since we do cloth diapers too)
Wipes - Huggies (I agree with Angela they are nicer on the bottom)
Formula - I plan to breastfeed again, but will probably introduce formula around 6 months and slowly wean for 6 months...but this is all depending on the babe. I like Similac the best (it tasted the most similar to breast milk than all I've tried...DON'T ASK!!!), but I don't know that I will go that route again...depends on what works best for babe. I will keep you posted! Thank you for offering!!!

Sold a diaper bag for my sister tonight . Lady messaged and came right away. Youngest DS has another frien over till about 845. Then I'm sending him to bed so mama can watch one of my fav Christmas time movies. The Holiday. Love it and I haven't watched it in over a year. Will finish the dining room in the morning.
