Bic Soliel House Party!

I am a Bic Soliel House Party Host. I was selected by HouseParty.com a few weeks ago to host a Bic Soliel Party. My party is this Saturday, May 15th, 2010. I am combining the House party with a fish fry. This way I will be able to include the whole family and not just the women! I thought it was a great idea. I have quite a few people attending, many of whom have children. 

Some of the activities that I am having include The Compliment Game, Balloon Shaving, Volleyball, Bubbles, and Sidewalk Art. I am trying to have a variety of things that everyone can do. The Compliment Game is for the women and teenage girls. We will have to write one compliment on a card for everyone participating. It is so easy to do. I will have one envelope for each person. This envelope will have enough note cards in it for everyone to write one compliment on per person. We will sit in a circle and pass the envelopes around while writing one compliment for each person's envelope. We will pass the envelopes until everyone is done. 

The next game I am having is a balloon shaving contest for the kids. They will each have a razor and they will be shaving a balloon. Whoever shaves the most and lasts the longest will win a prize! The prize has yet to be determined.

Volleyball is for anyone who wants to play and will be an ongoing game. The bubbles and sidewalk art is for the younger kids and even the kids at heart. 

I am planning on taking numerous pictures and posting them on my House Party page. You can check out my page here!

Walmart Shopping Trip-May 5th

I just posted how I saved $32.00 at Walgreens. Now I am going to show you how I saved more at Walmart. There were a lot of good deals and I didn't use any of the food items, but I did partake in the beauty/personal care items.

Gillette Body Wash was on sale for $3.50. I had two coupons that were Buy 1 Get 1 Free. I bought 4 body washes, which two were free, but then I combined them with two coupons that were $4 off two Gillette body washes. This made all four that I picked up FREE!!!

Nivea Body Wash for Men was on sale for $3.97. I bought two of the Men's Body Wash and used two $3.00 off coupons. This brought the price of each down to $.97. That's still a great deal!

Nivea Body Wash for Women was on sale for $3.97 also. So I bought two of the Women's Body Wash and used two $4.00 off coupons. This made both of them absolutely FREE!!!

Gillette Shave Gel was on sale for $1.87. I picked up two and combined the sale with two $1.00 off coupons. This made them only $.87 cents.

I also bought James, my husband, a 4 pack of Gillette Fusion cartridges for $13.97. They weren't on sale and I didn't have a coupon for them. I am only mentioning this, so you can see why the total was as high as it was.

My grand total was $21.35, which as you can see it would have been around $7.00 if I hadn't bought the Fusion refill. I saved a total of $31.00 with all of my coupons!!! Anyone can do this!

Walgreens Shopping Trip-May 5th!

I saved quite a bit this past week at Walgreens. You are not going to believe how much I saved and how easy it was. All you have to do is watch for their weekly sales ad and then match up your coupons. I am going to start posting weekly match ups for various stores here.

I bought 4 packages of Bic Soliel Bella razors. These were on sale for $3.99 each. I had four $3 off coupons.  These coupons are from my House Party kit for Bic Soliel. This brings each pack of razors down to $.99 each.
I bought 2 Sure deodorants, who doesn't need deodorant this time of year! These were 2/$3 with the Walgreens coupon and then I had two $1.50 coupons off. This brings the total to FREE!!!
I bought one Pert Plus shampoo, it was just to good of a deal to pass up. It was on sale for $1.99. I had a coupon for $1.50 off. This brought it done to $.49.

I only spent $6.87 which $1.92 was tax! I saved a $2.00 with a Walgreens coupon. I also saved $14.00 with their advertised savings. And finally $16.00 with manufacturer's coupons. This comes to a total of $32.00 worth of savings!. Can you really believe I saved that much? This is what it looked like too!
