Band Hero for Wii

Our mistake could be your advantage! We made the mistake of buying and opening “Band Hero” only to realize it’s really outside our family’s needs and wants right now. it comes with the drums, guitar, mike, and game for a Wii. It costs 172, but we’re willing to sell it for 150. It’s brand new, repacked into it’s box, only used for a test run, everything works perfectly. If no one seems interested in it then we’ll try to sell it on Craigs list. if you are interested call me at 415-3067. Thanks!

Free Food at Ikea

Today through Sunday January 3rd you can get free breakfast for the family at Ikea from opening till 11am. This includes eggs bacon and hashbrown type potatoes and also a cup of coffee, which maybe you could dump out and fill with juice instead. Don't quote me on that though. Then if you are there later the kiddies eat free from 11am to close with no adult purchase! As mentioned on an earlier post, we love Ikea and will definitely be taking advantage of this.

Home Decorations

Mhari Fleischman has some home decorations she was planning on just getting rid of, but was kind enough to think of us first and is offering them up to anyone who is interested. Just give her a call at 512-695-2350. Thanks!

Majic Chef Food Dehydrator $3

Hi Ladies: I stopped at a garage sale in Blackhawk this morning (12/12) and picked up a food dehydrator for $3. I already have one, but thought I'd offer in case someone in the ward needs one. Let me know! - Colette

Two FREE Weekend activities:

Gingerbread House The holiday season is upon us! Get in the spirit by building this festive Gingerbread House

Christmas Ornaments Christmas is right around the corner! These ornaments are the perfect way to decorate your tree this year!

Lowe's

Saturday morning at Lowes they have the Build and Grow workshop at 10am.Tomorrow is the gingerbread house and next saturday is the ornaments. My kids love these workshops. I know they say you can register online, but we just usually show up early and I have never seen anyone checking in so I don't think that this will necessarily save you a spot. They also get an apron and a patch showing what they made. They say they only have 50 kits so get there early!

Michaels

I saw this one for Michaels online, but we have never been. Make-It Take-Its looks like it would be fun, but I am sure just like at Lowes there are a set amount of kits, so get there early.

Kitchenaid Classic Mixer $100

Mhari Fleischman is selling a white Kitchenaid Classic Mixer with the bowl, dough hook, wire whip and beater. She is looking to sell it for $100. It is 3 years old and runs perfectly. She is only selling it because she outgrew it and just got the larger one. Her phone number is 512-695-2350. Thanks!

Halloween Costume Help

I really like Nikki's idea about swapping Halloween stuff. This year EZ wants to be Diego and I am still trying to see if I can piece the costume together myself without buying one of the over priced ones or resorting to sewing one, which is not my strong suit. So I was wondering if anyone has a safari type vest or orange backpack we could borrow. EZ wears size 4Tish. Also I have 2 cute costumes we used last year that anyone can borrow. The first is a princess costume size 6-12 months and the second is a sweet Buzz Lightyear costume which is a 2-3T. Thanks

The answer is....$1.15. Come on ladies and gentlemen, spend 15 minutes learning how to do this and then go shopping!

Music Class

I was looking for a music class to take my son to, and then I realized that I should just start my own and invite some friends to join us! Just a quick background, I have taught children's music classes for almost 10 years. I would be teaching the same curriculum here, although slightly altered for a more casual home environment. The class will be for babies/toddlers 9-18 months and their moms. We will meet Thursday mornings from 10:30-11am in my home. The cost would be $10 a month to help cover expenses. Please call (512-850-1628) or email (abby.fife@gmail.com) if you would like to join, or if you have any other questions. Class starts on September 24th.

Halloween boy costumes

Hey, I'm cleaning out my boys' closet and have two Halloween costumes that my boys have grown out of. I bought them at the Disney Store on clearance a couple of years ago. There is a small tear on the knee of the power ranger outfit, but other than that they are in good condition. The power ranger costume is a size medium and the buzz lightyear costume is extra small. My boys only wore them one year before growing out of them. They're free for anyone who wants them. Email me if you want them at egibby@att.net

Mens Bike Needed

Hello! Yesterday our car engine died and we are having to get a new one put in....good times. Anyways, we were wondering if anyone is getting rid of a mens bike or knows someone who is. I am trying to avoid buying a cheap Wal-Mart bike to get Christopher to and from work for the next couple weeks until the car is fixed. Thanks!

Girls Drapes

I changed the curtains in Kelsey room a couple of weeks ago. So, does anyone want some girls drapes? I have white sheers that have embroidered flowers on them in pastel colors. I also have light pink checked valances. Let me know if you'd like them!!

Cheap Cereal

Until Tuesday HEB has Cocoa Puffs and Trix for $1.00. You can go to coupons.com and get a $.55 off Trix coupon and $1.00 off 2 General Mills cereals that you can use for the Cocoa Puffs. This would make the Trix $.45 and the Cocoa Puffs $.50. You should be able to print two each of these coupons from each computer in your home! Happy Saving! Also there are some good cereal deals at Randall's right now (like Cheerios for $1.00 with coupons when you buy five boxes of cereal and Kix for $.75). Check out Savingwithshellie.com and she'll tell you how to get cheap cereal. Click on Safeway/Randall's on the right and scroll down until you find the cereal deal.

Free $10 gift card to Highland Mall

I found this on slickdeals today:

Shop Smart Look Fab, presented by Bank Of America & Express stores, offer a Free $10 Gift Card to your local GGP Shopping Mall. Follow the instructions below.

Click Here http://www.shopsmartlookfab.com/Malls/Search
Enter Zip code and click "enter information"

Enter email in the box and click "sign up fast"
An email will be sent to you with a confirmation code to print out

Dont be confused, there is one offer that recquires you to spend $75 to get a gift card, but you want the one that says sign up fast no strings attached and that just gets you a free gift card. Pretty sweet. Like I said this is for Highland Mall. Not the fanciest mall, but they have Forever 21, which I love so I am sold.

Girl size 8 dresses / Boy size 3 suits / 2 boxes baby boy clothes

Emma Allison (currently an investigator w/ missionaries) would like to get the word out that she has size 8 girl dresses and size 6 boy Sunday shoes if anyone needs.

She also has two boy Sunday suits (like-new condition) size 3.

And anyone need baby boy clothes (6-12 mos), baby blankets, etc?? I have a couple of boxes if you know anyone that can use.

Anyone have these things laying around??

Hey ladies: I've been hauling a lot of stuff to Goodwill lately (cleaning out for the move)... it's amazing how much stuff we accumulate.

Before I go buy these items we need, I thought I'd ask if anyone has extras lying around they want to get rid of. Here's what I'm looking for:
*computer mouse (USB connection)
*computer speaker (ours died for the kids computer)
*small stereo speakers (we have a massive one from 1970) :-)

Thanks ladies!

Bowling Follow Up

So I took my niece and EZ bowling at interstate lanes on Saturday and it was awesome. They pretty much have free lanes all day everyday and you dont have to print off the bowling coupon like I thought. You can just go in and they will give you a punch card type thing. Also the shoe rental is $1.50 for kids 12 and under and $3.00 for adults, not $1.50 for everyone like I thought when I posted last time. Still totally worth it though.

Free Bowling at Interstate Lanes

I recently found out that Interstate Lanes on 35 in Round Rock has their own summer free bowling for kids program. Any school age kid K-12 can print off a bowling pass at their website and use it for 1 free game everyday. It says during "open bowling" and I couldn't tell for sure on the website when that is exactly so you would have to call and check. The best part is that shoe rental there is only $1.50 so this is definitely a better deal then driving down to that 300 place. The website is interstatelanes.net.

Free Slurpies at 7-Eleven

In honor of today being 7/11, 7-eleven is giving out 7.11oz slurpees at participating locations. Not the biggest slurpee I know, but hey it's a free cool treat, which can only help in this heat!

Get paid for plasma donation

BioLife Plasma (www.biolifeplasma.com) will pay anywhere from $55 to $85 a week for plasma.

You can make 2 visits every 7 days. The first visit they pay $20 ($30 on a priority day). You can go again 2 days later and then they pay the rest. Right now the program is running based on a month. The first week will get you $55, the second $65, and the third and fourth weeks will pay $75, plus $10 extra if it's priority day. They will give you a debit card that they credit every time you donate.

A note. If your first visit is on a Wednesday then you can't come the next week for your first visit until Wednesday, because you can't have more than 2 visits in 7 days. So I recommend getting in on a Monday for your first visit then your second one can be anytime from Wed. to Sat.

Each visit takes about 45 minutes to an hour and a half. It just depends on how fast your blood pumps through, which is more about how much water you drank in the last 24 hours. They have a great childcare room. I take my 2 little girls (2 and 4) and they play with dolls, the pretend kitchen, watch movies, color, and paint. Two sweet little old ladies work in there and the girls love them now.

You will need to call and schedule a first visit/physical and donation. The physical isn't really a physical it's a lot of questions about your health and whether you do anything (tattoos, drugs, etc.) that would make your plasma unusable. Once that's finished (about an hour) you can go donate (about another hour). The first 2 visits you have to call and schedule, after that you can do it all online.

So if you're looking for away to make a little extra money, this is a great way to do it for only a couple hours a week.

If you have questions, let me know.

Pizzeria Corvina

This weekend John and I ate at Pizzeria Corvina, a new restaurant in the same shopping complex as Target, Best Buy and Jason's Deli, and it was phenomenal. They specialize in coal-fired pizza, but they also have homemade pasta. I got the pizza and John got some pasta and we both loved ours. We also got the polenta appetizer and it was amazing as well. They have appetizer specials from 3pm to 7pm Mon through Fri. You can even order smores there. We ran out of time before we could get dessert, but we will definitely be checking those out next time we go. You can check out their website for the menu with prices www.pizzeriacorvina.com.

So imagine my excitement when I found out that through Restaurant.com you can order $25 Pizzeria Corvina gift certificates for just $2 today through Thursday. I have seen these kind of specials before on restaurant.com, but they never offered them for any restaurants I was interested in. Now you do have to spend $35 in order to use the certificates, but still that is $35 worth of food for just $12. Not too shabby. You also can only use one certificate per month per party. Still though totally worth it, because the gift certificates are good for a year. Anyway so go to restaurants.com and search by zip code and then once you have put the certificates in your cart, use the code DISH to get them for $2 each instead of $10. You print the certificates off online so as soon as you order them you can use them.

So even if you dont get the gift certificates you should definitely check it out. Let me know if you love it as much as we did!

Mediterranean House Buffet

There is a Middle Eastern/Mediterranean Buffet that opened up in Pflugerville in January and it is amazing. John and I noticed it the other day and decided to stop by and we loved it. I studied in Jordan and Egypt and am always on the lookout for good Middle Eastern food and this is the place. We got the dinner buffet, which was $9.95 a person and well worth it. There were tons of meat dishes to choose from and also lots of salads and of course pitas and different spreads. It also included some amazing dessert along the lines of Baklava. Kids under 5 eat for free and there is a reduced price for kids 5-12 but I can't remember what it was. The owner also said that if you bring in a group of 5 or more, I assume over the age of 12, then it is just $7.95 a person. There is also a regular menu if you aren't up for the buffet. The owners are from Jordan (a land of amazing food and great people) and they were so friendly. They had a tv set up in the back were their son was playing video games and they let EZ play back there with him (don't worry we could see him at all times) which made it much easier for us to enjoy our dinner. It was pretty empty when we were there so I wanted to spread the word and help them out. When you walk in don't let the decor fool you, it may not seem fancy, but trust me it is authentic Middle Eastern. So definitely check it out and if you want some dining companions John and I will be going back regularly! The address and phone number are:

15803 Windermere Dr
Pflugerville, TX 78660

Free 13" Sylvania TV/VCR

We have a 13" Sylvania TV/VCR that we were going to post for free on craiglist today, but figured we'd offer it to friends in the ward first. The 13" color TV works fine, but the VCR tugs on tapes sometimes, so you might want to be careful, there. Come get it if you're interested, but email first. :-)

Free Burt's Bees

"This year Burt's Bees celebrates its 25th anniversary, which is pretty impressive -- I had no idea they'd been around that long. To celebrate, the Earth-loving company is giving away a bunch of free stuff, starting with 25,000 tubes of lip balm. Each day through June 20, the company is offering 1,000 free Beeswax Lip Balms online. Today's stash is already gone, but you should bookmark this page for a chance to win. The contest starts sometime between 9 a.m. and noon ET, but it changes each day -- you have to keep checking the site. (Very clever, Burt.)Other anniversary features include celebrity "toasts" from the likes of Adam Duritz, Jane Lynch, Billy Bob Thornton and others. And hey, here's a real-life fact about Burt (the bearded dude on the package): He retired in 1999 and now lives in Maine "in a converted turkey coop with Pasha, his loyal golden retriever." And I bet he smells like honey."

Yogurt r' Rock

If you haven't already checked out Yogurt r' Rock in La Frontera, you need to. It is one of the self serve yogurt places that are popping up allover the place. Basically you go in, grab a container and pick from about 10 flavor that rotate every so often and then pick whatever toppings you want (tons of fruit and goodies to choose from). You pay by the ounce and this place is $.39 an ounce, which is cheaper then the place I went to by UT. I got a good size serving with plenty of toppings and only paid $3.00. It is really really good and even pretty good for you (depending what toppings you choose haha). So yeah if you haven't checked it out already you should. It is by Men's Warehouse and the kid hair cut place. The actual address is:

2711 La Frontera Blvd #230
Round Rock, TX 78681

Playgroup Tomorrow

Sorry for the late reminder, but don't forget playgroup tomorrow at 10:30am. Pack a lunch and bring sand toys to Katherine Fleisher Park 2106 Klattenhoff Dr. Austin, TX. See you there!

Ranch Dressing

Today Mike and I were talking about how we needed to make sure we had Ranch dressing (and lots of it) in our food storage because we have a couple of kids who would drink it if we let them. Well, I was at HEB just now and struck gold. Kraft dressing (16 oz) is on sale for $1.99 (not the gold part yet!!). But with it there was a $1.50 off Kraft Ranch--yeah...that's $.49 each! Yippie! So I stocked up. This was in the produce section of the Gattis one but it's probably at the others too, somewhere! Hurry the deal ends on the 21st!

More Artscow.com Deals

After Jeri posted about Artscow I decided to check it out and right now when you sign up for a new member ship you get 600 free 4x6 prints and 600 5x7 prints over the course of the next year. You can use up to 100 4x6 and 50 5x7 per month. I am a slacker and usually wait till the end of each year to print pictures. Last time I printed using Sam's club mail order it was about $85 for 600ish prints. With Artscow it will only cast about $40. Not too shabby. Also with a new membership you get an 8" x 8" Custom Imagewrap Hardcover Photo Book (20 pages) for $6.99 with free shipping. I am really excited about that. I don't know how long this will last so you should check it out!

e.l.f. makeup

e.l.f. makeup is just $1 on their website for almost anything! www.eyeslipsface.com Enter coupon code CAROLINA to get half off (so everything is .50), and code EGKABUKP to get a free face brush ($25 value). This makeup has been featured in many magazines and is legit! The $1 price is their everyday, regular price, but the coupons are subject to change.

Home Storage Center Now Open

The Austin Home Storage Center is now open. The hours of operation are Tuesday from 2-8 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. The address is:
3912 Gattis School Road, Round Rock, Texas 78664
Office Phone: 512-252-2177
Office FAX: 512-252-8311

Linda and Dave Ellefson are the service missionaries in charge of the Home Storage Center.

Patrons who are interested in purchasing materials from the Center are encouraged to download a copy from the web site, www.providentliving.org, and plan their order before visiting the Center. These forms will also be available at the Center.

At this time, it will not be possible to dry-pack products on-site at the Center. However, both a can sealer and a pouch sealer are available for loan. These will be loaned out for no more than a week at a time. Since these two pieces of equipment are key items, the Center management wants to insure that the sealers are available as much as possible and would encourage their return to the Home Storage Center on the next day the Center is open once the sealing project has been completed by the Patron.

Patrons are expected to fill their own orders and load their own vehicles. Bulk supplies can weigh as much as 40 pounds per container. The pouch sealer with case weighs 60 pounds, and the can sealer weighs 40 pounds. Patrons who are buying bulk items should either be able to lift these weights or have others with them who can when visiting the Center.

The Center cannot accept debit or credit cards. Materials and products need to be paid for by cash or check at the time they are picked up at the Center. The ability to make change at the cash register will be limited, so patrons should come with exact change if at possible. This is another reason Patrons should be well familiar with the current product and price list prior to visiting the Center.

Contact our home preparedness specialists Jeri Ashford and Marie Tidwell with any questions you may have.

Happy Hollow

Here is a great family deal, go to:
http://www.happyhollowparkandzoo.org/

This is a zoo in San Jose, California. If you look under membership you can join for $75 (this just went up for those of you who I've told that it is $60). But this is good for 2 years. The zoo is closed right now so they are offering a deal.

On their website you can see a list called a Reciprocating List and this tells you the other zoos and museums that you can get in to for free or half price. You can get into the Austin Children's Museum for free, Houston Children's Museum for free, Dallas and Waco Zoos for free, and San Antonio Zoo for half price. This is a pretty good deal.

If you have less that 4 children, you can still put 4 kids on you card and then you can take friends for free!

This is a good deal, with summer coming soon!

Hail Damage

I don't know if this is something appropriate to post on here or not, but I know that we had hail damage this evening and figured others did too.

If anyone needs any work done let me know and I can get you his contact information.

Free Samples

Free Samples Website

I came across this website and it looks pretty good. According to other bloggers it is awesome for free samples of all sorts, they add a new one every day. Apparently, they don't make you fill out any type of surveys or gimics. You can sign up to the newsletter as well to get the free samples e-mailed to you, but it is not required.

I haven't used them yet so PROCEED WITH CAUTION....you might want to use an email address other than your normal one. I normally use a gmail account but have a yahoo one that I use for online stuff like this so my regular account doesn't get inundated with spam. :-)http://www.sampleaday.com/

Also, if you spend $6 or more, you get a loaf for free.

Super Target

I went today to check out the new Super Target in Pflugerville and it is pretty dang sweet. I can't even list all the deals that they have but you probably got the advertisement and there are way more than just that. I definitely recommend checking it out and doing some grocery shopping. I used the 5 dollar coupon I got in the mail and then they gave me another for $5 off of $75. Not a screaming deal but hey I liked what I saw there and I can always use an extra $5.

Free planters

Cheap Movie Night!!!!

Just in case you hadn't heard, but Monday nights is 50cent night at the RR movies 8. That's right! 50 cents a ticket! Yeah, they will soon be out on video, but when I can take my family to the movies for $2, that is less than it costs to rent! (have to buy 4 or more tickets - we even met another couple after kids were in bed for a date night - have to love having a teenager at home for something!!!!) Even their normal $2 ticket price is affordable. it has certainly helped to meet even my movie addict husbands needs in a close budgeted world! Now if they would just drop those food prices :-). But who says you have to have the large tub of popcorn and drink to enjoy the movie... if I can convince Brian then you could too... I promise you will survive (tee hee!). and you can even turn it into a family night lesson - Wall-E: recycling/taking care of the planet, Bolt - service, loving others, etc. Maybe we will see you there some time.

BTW.... Twilight is there now :-)

Stay-at-Home Jobs

Hey, sisters. Many of you have expressed interest in finding work preferably from home. This can be tricky since there are many scams for at home work, but a website that specializes in finding job openings that are legit was listed on the Austin Area Stakes LDS employment list serve . The site is

http://www.ratracerebellion.com/

You can sign up to receive a weekly newsletter with the latest stay-at-home jobs. The site screens companies for scams before they post their job openings. I would still encourage everyone to read the article about identifying scams before you start applying for work. It's listed on the menu options on the left hand column of the website. The site has plenty of information on different types of stay-at-home jobs, so it's great for researching. I am really impressed with the website. I have done freelance work in the past, and know how difficult it is to find work from legitimate companies. Also, if you wish to be a part of the LDS employment list serve, go to this site to sign up.

http://groups.google.com/group/ausldsemp?hl=en

Jobs around town are listed on there frequently and you can also post job openings to share with others. They also post when career workshops are happening.

Big Consignment Event at Dell Diamond

Check out fairytalethreads.com. At the Dell Diamond on Feb 20th and 21st there will be a huge consignment sale. I think you can still sell things too. Looks like you have to have 15 things or a combined sale price of at least $100 to be a seller and they have really straight forward instructions on the website. You get 65% of the sale price or if you volunteer to work it you get 80% and get to pre-shop. Looks like they charge $10 per seller and take it out of the check they send you once the sale is over. Anyone ever done something like this before?
