Trick or Treat!

If you are trying to plan the Ultimate Trick or Treat Experience for your child check out the fun activities below!

Toys R Us is having a monster sale starting at 5pm today.  On Halloween, from 12-3p, if you bring your child dressed in their costume they can join the Geoffrey parade thru the store and pick up treats as they go! Check out all the details for the parade, monster sale, and coupons here!

Don't forget to call your local Sears store to see of they are participating in the FREE toy giveaway if your child visits the store on Halloween dressed in costume.

If you are a member of the Chuck E Club for Chuck E Cheese's, then you will receive a coupon for 20 FREE tokens for Halloween!  Sign up here and you'll also receive monthly emails containing way better coupons than the ones in the Sunday paper.  We go many times just to let the kids play while I take a break!

I know my friend Lauren at PalmettoStateSaver has lots of FREEBIES for Halloween on her blog too, so check it out!

Have a Scary Good Time!

Food Lion Deals 10/28 to 11/3**updated**

Weekly Totals 10/23

This week I got the closest to my goal of only spending $50.00 a week on groceries and health and beauty items.  I probably would have made it, but I did get some extras like chocolate milk and diapers for an upcoming baby shower.  So all in all, I'm feeling pretty good about my purchases this week.  OH! And I almost forgot to share my great news!  I opened my mailbox yesterday to find a $100 gift card to Publix!  Isn't that exciting?  I entered a drawing over the summer and had totally forgotten about it!  What a nice surprise! I never win contests and sweepstakes!
