Kohler Academy



I would like to introduce everyone to a new world of getting your hair done. Located in Scottsdale, AZ,Kohler Academy, my alma mater, is a great way to save money and still look great. Students do great work while being supervised by their highly experienced educators. Kohler Academy is the only school in the world besides Bumble and Bumble University that is allowed to use Bumble and Bumble products in their student clinic. KOhler is also a non-tipping facility. The students of Kohler Academy are truly special and talented. Each month, I am going to feature their monthly specials as a blog post. I encourage you to get out there and let these creative students get to work on you!

I also encourage you to visit www.kohleracademy.com

Discounted D-Backs Tickets!!!!!



Head over to www.dbacks.com/savvy to score yourself some discounted tickets! We went to a game a few weeks ago, we paid 15$ each for our seats and they were really great! Chase Field also has select "Value Items" at stands all over the stadium! It's an expensive way to have a fun family day/night at the ballpark!


And much much more! They have souveneir bats for $5, t-shirts for 10 dollars, hot dogs for $1.50 and more! Also, while your their, remember to stop by the Fry's kiosk and scan your d-backs reward card for some extra points!

Cutter BOGO... FRAUDULENT COUPON???


I went to Fry's today to get some last minute supplies for our Memorial Day camping fiesta at Lake Pleasant. I found Cutter insect repellant @ 5.99. When going to check out I used my BOGO Cutter coupon from Smartsource.com that was available a few months back. The cashier got real snippy with me and told me it was a fraudulent q! Now, I know a thing or two about coupons and I'm pretty positive that Smart Source does not put fraudulent coupons on their site. At least he gave it back to me. Has anyone else had this problem with their BOGO Cutter q's?

BZZAgent



Have you signed up for Bzzagent yet?It's an awesome consumer panel that lets you try new items for FREE. Within a week of signing up , a recieved an invitation to join my first campaign. Within a week I had a brand new scrubbing bubble extend a clean power sprayer and 2 refills. And I really like this product! It cleans really well! The only complaint I have is that I feel it might be wasteful sometimes with the automatic sprayer.

Have you tried BzzAgent? What fun campaigns have you got?

Albertson's 05/26


I am NOT the biggest fan of Albie's, but will go when things ae free/dirt cheap. Yesterday I went to get some Van Camp's Pork and Beans and Arrowhead water. I went to the self checkout which i know is a big no-no when you have q's but nonetheless :) My Van Camp's q's worked fine. The arrowhead q's would not scan. After waiting 5 minutes, the attendant comes over. I tell her the problem she says and this is an exact quote "Your gonna make me put my glasses on aren't you?" ummm yes. So she tries to scan and they wouldn't and she says "This is the wrong size." and walks away. I bring a pack of water and my q to the station and point out to her that it is in fact the correct size. SHe pushes the q through but only .75 comes off. My sister goes to the station and asks if they are having dble. q's this week. The lady says "I don't know" and nothing else. Hmmm. So my sister says " welllllll can ya find out?" Lady says "Im checking!" Anyway, pushed it through for a buck but it took about 20 mins to go through the self checkout with 6 items.

Here is my transaction

Van Camp's Pork and Beans (4) = .50 each=2$ -1/4 mq ConAgra coupon book

Arrowhead water 6 pack .5l(2)=1$ each=$2- (2) .75/1 05/16 RP pushed through to $1

Subtotal $4
Total after q's $1.07 and a headache :)

Asley Furniture- AWESOME sales and clearance!



Over the weekend, we went furniture shopping. Our first and only stop was Ashley. We got a complete 15 piece living room for $998.00!! It comes with sofa, chair, ottoman, rug, 2 lamps, a chenille throw, a five piece accessory set and a coffee and end tables. I wanted to take pics but my phone wasn't charged. I'll definatley take pics when it arrives in August. This is a GREAT deal for redecorating on a budget. I also checked out the clearance section which had BEAUTIFUL sofas that were missing a small section of fabric on the bottom for 97 bucks!!! These would be perfect for a basement, dorm, first apartment etc.
