OLD NAVY and their crazy exchange policy

A couple of weeks ago I went to old navy to purchase some school uniform pants. The only size they had left was a size 6. After getting home and trying them on they were a bit big. I could not find my receipt so I had to do an exchange. They still did not have the size 5 so they had to send me a merchandise certificate in the mail which took 7 days. At the time I made the exchange they had the pants online and the girl told me I would have to go to the store to use the merchandise certificate to place the order from their online store. Keep all your receipts from old navy before you get screwed like I am. Bad company policy. They don't even work with you to try and help you.

Weekend October 16-18, 2009

Today Katie has no school due to records day so we are chilling at home. Tonight we do have gymnastics and tomorrow I want to go order Katie's pants or hopefully they have some at old navy in her size. I went to walgreens yesterday and they did stock back up on the razors. Gillette MVP razors are $8.99 -$4 MFQ and you get back $6 in Register rewards so its a money maker. I also picked up the total toothpaste. It wasn't a great sale but we keep running out of the toothpaste really fast. You buy 2 for $5 -2@$1 coupons and you get back $1 RR. So it wasn't a great sale but it will do.

Week of October 12, 2009

Yes this week was very busy. Monday was Katies field trip to the pumpkin patch. The kids had fun but it was very hot and very muddy. Two people got over heated so I am very glad I was able to go out there and make Katie drink more then she would of with another mom.

Tuesday our fundraiser came in so besides student of the week we wrote names and teachers on all the packets. Also made sucker ghost.

Wednesday I had a parent workshop to go to. It is very interesting and makes you think about what your doing and the way your doing it. Then we kicked off the fundraiser.

Thursday there was a sock hop to raise money for united way. It was for 3rd, 4th and 5th grade. Some of the teachers even got out there. It was a very busy week so now I am just enjoying today. I will be posting so check it out.

Sunday October 11, 2009

Yesterday we took the girls to the circus and they enjoyed it. It was a bit pricey for everything. They got to ride an elephant which was $8 a person and Sammy got on there with them. Good thing the girls got in for free. Our tickets were $17 each b/c we got it upgraded which I am glad we did b/c we would of had to sit in bleachers and wouldn't of seen much. Today I will be busy cooking, cleaning and washing clothes. Tomorrow we are taking a field trip to a pumpkin patch. Tuesday is PTO day and we are kicking off a fundraiser, Wednesday I have a parenting class which is only an hour so it shouldn't be too bad, Thursday we are doing a sock hop and Friday will be gymnastics. This week is pretty busy. I will try and post as much as I can.

Walgreens Trip October 7, 2009

I have been so bad. I am so sorry. This upcoming week will be another busy one. I will try and do what I can to post. I actually went shopping Wednesday but also had to bring Sara to the Dr for her ear hurting. This was my shopping trip at walgreens with a picture.

The gloves were free after in ad coupon and $1.00 coupons I had. Soup was free with in ad coupons and internet coupons. The peanut butter and jelly was on sale for $2.00 each and I had a $.50 coupon off of each making them $1.50 which is a good deal. The halls are still $1 get $1 Register Reward. I also had a .50 coupon off of the halls so they paid me to take them home. The gum was $1.00 -.75 coupon each and I got back $2 total for them. The childrens motrin was $5.99 -$2. in ad coupon -$1 coupon I had. Only reason I got it was b/c we were out and I couldn't pass up that much off of it. The aquafresh was on sale .99 big tube. cottonelle is still .97 for the 4 roll which is still good for this type of paper but I can't for it to go lower. Then I ran into 2 carts that were 75% off. The little packets with the notebooks, easers and pencil regular $2 clearanced at .50 each. Then there were sticker packets with a little sticker book and stickers regular $2. marked down .50 each. Those will be part of my 12 days of Christmas I do for the girls. The 6 pack of toothbrushes which we needed anyway only .50 each. Freezie pops 24ct .50.
After all my coupons and my Register Rewards I paid $2.92. Got back $3 RR. Not a bad trip at all. I loved it and hope to have more times like it.

Monday October 5, 2009

Today I am keeping Katie home from school. Her and I have some type of stomach virus. I just hope it will end with us but I am sure it will go around the whole family first.

I am on a search for girls knee socks. I think they will look really cute with Katies skorts for school and then when it gets colder outside then she can wear them under her pants without having to worry about pulling up stockings. Old navy is out and I'm not ordering any from online b/c shipping is too crazy. I did find some on amazon and used my gift cards from swagbucks to pay for them but for 2 pairs of socks with shipping it came out to be $13.00. I am also bidding on some on ebay. We will see how that goes.

Christmas is right around the corner and I need to start making my list and get the kids to make theirs. I know one thing Katie already wants. A puppy named Chip lol. I'm not too crazy about dogs and I'm still trying to potty train my kids like I really want to have to start potty training a dog right now. I don't think we are ready for a puppy just yet.

Weekend October 2-4, 2009

October already and its a rainy day. Which is kind of a good thing for us b/c our AC started freezing over again. I will have to call someone over to recharge it. This thing keeps doing it is what is getting on my nerves. Then to top it off I have been feeling weird. This week I was planning on eating better and exercising more but I have been very tired and when I wake up hungry. I'm not sure if maybe its just my body catching up on sleep and trying to get some energy from these things or what. I have been getting 7 hours of sleep at night and Wednesday I sleep on and off from 9am-1:00pm then yesterday I took a nap also. I hope I'm not getting sick.

Last night old navy reset really early. I want to say it was about 6:15. It happen pretty fast. They had $75/$100 which were gone in seconds but I finally got one for $50/$100. Bad thing is I already got Katie's pants another bad thing is I can't find the receipt. I was going to return them get the money back and buy the smaller ones that we really need but not sure how it would all work. We shall find out today. If you would like a different amount coupon there are still some left for 20% off and 15% off. If you unzip Eva's boot you will get a 10% off of a sweater. 15% move the green necklace from Heather to the green sweater on the right hand side. For the 20% off take the movable stars and put them on top of the #4 wear it 4 ways. $10/$50 in the bottom right hand corner click on the star and select RITA.

Gretna Heritage Festival is this weekend. Hubby wanted to go check it out on Sunday but its suppose to rain so not sure if we will go or not. We are just going for the food. Crab & Corn Bisque in bread bowl , Alligator Sausage, Pheasant / Quail Andouille Gumbo, Cracklings, Oyster on 1/2 Shell, Boiled Shrimp, Boiled Crabs so much yummy food. What will my kids pick? a hot dog.
