Boxes for Laura Zang

2012-02-06T13:17:00.000-08:00

Hi there peeps :) I am doing some massive early spring cleaning and am in need of lots of boxes (for sorting, packing up for attic storage, etc.). I wanted to ask if any of you could please let me know if you have some boxes I could have. I'd be happy to pick them up from you or if you'd rather drop them by my front doorstep at your convenience then that would be fabulous! Thanks ladies!

PLUS size clothes for sale

2011-08-04T15:14:00.000-07:00

Ok, I’ve been working hard on losing weight this year, and I have lost 50 lbs since April, which don’t get me wrong is GREAT, but now I have had to cut down 80% of my entire closet! BEAUTIFUL dresses that I JUST bought 3 months ago and only got to wear ONCE are now not fitting right… and I’ll be rolled in sugar and dragged thru an ant hill before I just toss these in a trash bag and take them to Good Will… it’s just not right. I want my LDS sisters to have a chance to look thru them first, it’s so HARD to find clothes that FIT right and are affordable and modest.

So here is what I have:
I have a small box of 1X clothes (I held on to these for many years and I’m just ready to let go of them now)
A small supply of clothes from 14-18
A BIG BIG BIG supply of BEAUTIFUL clothes and dresses from 20-24
a few items that are 26-28.
A small box of maternity shirts and pants/shorts.
And a small box of the “unmentionables” – I know that’s like a bad voo-doo, but whatever – it’s there to look at if you want too. I won’t judge if you don’t.
Even some purses and shoes (size 9.5-10)

PLEASE – if you are interested, call me (705-5822) or email me (kiatone_nuba@yahoo.com) and come over and go thru my BIG supply of clothes! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me find good homes for these! You are welcomed to come and TRY them on at MY HOUSE! It’s totally fine for kids to come, I’ll watch them while you try the outfits on.

I’m thinking of selling the shirts for $2, jean pants for $5, reg pants & shorts for $2 and dresses for $10.

AND – I have a BIG supply of mens PLUS size clothes, regular wear, Sunday shirts, and suits. Email me if you want to know more about those.

THANKSGIVING placemats

2011-07-29T16:44:00.000-07:00

Ok I was really excited about scoring on this and so I realized I have to share it with the “pfl finds page”. Not too long ago, I had just found out that I’ll be hosting the Workman side of the family at my house for thanksgiving this year, and I didn’t have any plate/cups/and what-not to cover that many people, let alone “THANKSGIVING” ya know. So I did some research and got totally inspired by this picture I saw of a placemat leaf:

I was thinking of making my own. I happen to see that they were selling packets of 2 a Hobby Lobby and I was excited… till I saw the price! $13 for 2 placemats!! EVEN IF I could get them on sale or with a coupon, it would be PRICY to get one for everyone in my party (16 people!) and even if I was RICH and was going to buy them… Hobby Lobby is NOT going to have 15 of them on the shelf! So… I’m depressed again and thinking I’ll make them… somehow?
And then I saw THESE!!

I found these are the DOLLAR STORE, that means each of these are only $1!!! I JUMPED on this deal and got 15 (9 leaves for the adults and 6 pumpkins for the kids) I’m SUPPER excited!! 15 placemats for only $15 bucks is AWESOME!

It’s NOT too early to start getting stuff together for Thanksgiving, and it’s the dollar stone, so you KNOW that if you DON’T got get them NOW, they WILL NOT BE AROUND will thanksgiving comes by.

Ladies,

I have (found more) around 35 Seychelle water filtration bottles...these will filter about 100 gallons of water (each)

http://store.seychelle.com/Std._Filtration_Bottles-28oz_Flip_Top_Filter_Bottle_Standard.html

You can check them out at their web site.

These are new and in their package...and look to be almost identical to the one pictured...slightly different shape of the bottle and a little more insulation.

You'll see they sell for $29.99 plus shipping.

I'm selling these for $20 each...and only about 6 are spoken for.

I made sure all of my children have them for their home storage...you can make potable lake, river, pond, pool water. (note: they will NOT desalinate)

Book Swop?

2011-07-27T07:44:00.000-07:00

I'm wanting to go thru my books for a garage sale, BUT... I know I can only get $0.25 or so for each book... and I'm wondering would anyone else in the ward be interested in doing a BOOK SWOP with me?
we would put all our kid/adult/whatever books together in a room and however many books you want that's how many you have to give back to the person (or something like that)dose that sound like something ANYONE would like to do with me? it's ok if no ones up for that right now, I just wanted to ask.
you can email me if you want to talk about the idea some more

$1 books @ The Book Box

2011-07-18T07:44:00.001-07:00

"The Book Box" store is going out of business and ALL this week (STARTING TUE - SAT) ALL their books (no matter how old, thick, or popular they are) are going to all be priced for just a buck!
even if you don't want it for the reading you should really think about buying them for book-crafts. it's only $1 and anytime I can do a holiday craft that is under $5 I'm really happy. you can do ALL kinds of holiday crafts with books, just google or email me (lol) if you need to get inspired.
for example I'm going in to buy old leather/fabric bound books so I can paint them up black, put gold titles on them and use them as decorations for Halloween. I'm really excited about it cause old leather books are really pricy to come by $15-$45 at least.

Toddler bed for sale

2011-05-24T13:21:00.000-07:00

Hey ladies, I'm in the process of downsizing, and if anyone is interested, I have a toddler bed for sale. My youngest is now 6 and is no longer interested. I think I got this one when Amanda was old enough (she's now 17). It's in good shape--- white metal with a guard rail that folds down and slides underneath. The nicest thing about this set is the mattress. It's not a cheapo one, but a very nice thick Simmons inner spring mattress-- "baby slumber deluxe". Very cumfy! I'll also include 3 fitted sheets-- very deep pockets and never been known to slip off-- plus a fitted waterproof sheet. Not sure what to sell it for-- so make me an offer if interested.
Unable to download pictures at this time-- can't find my cable.

Barnes and Noble has the one-year subscription to Parents magazine available for $1 again. It’s listed at $4.97, but use coupon code K4M8W9D to knock the price down to just $1 per year.

Happy shopping/subscribing!

QUEEN Mattress & … junk (but it’s FREE junk!)

2011-02-09T20:05:00.000-08:00

Ok I have a Queen Size Mattress WITH box spring that is up for grabs, like we’re talking totally FREE here, I just need someone to be able to pick it up themselves. It’s a few years old but still in good condition.

I also have a very low to the ground, tan-fake-wood TV stand, also for free.

And a BIG BIG pile of diaper boxes – I was thinking if someone is packing up stuff, home stuff, food storage, maybe for crafts… they’re up for grabs too if anyone wants them. I was storing all my kids clothes in them but I finally caved and bought “real” storage boxes, but they were working great for the past 5 years.

AND… I have a few bags of store-type child-size hangers. Some are pant-clip types, others have those hang-top-and-bottom-together type and some are just your normal hanger type. I finally got “nice” hangers for my kids so I can finally let these go.

If you need to see a pic, or want to come by to see, or have questions, send me (Nikki Workman) an email (kiatone_nuba@yahoo.com) or call me on my cell (705-5822)

Target Deals

2011-01-21T20:22:00.001-08:00

I found some sweet deals on baby gear at the Round Rock and Pflugerville Targets. Yesterday at Pflugerville they had some Graco cribs that are 50% off. I know I saw a "Lauren" one that was originally $159 and is marked down to $80. There were other cribs as well that I didn't look as closely at. Then today at Round Rock I saw some Baby Trend Sit 'n Stand strollers that are originally $129 and marked down to $65. Sadly I don't need any of these things but I thought I would spread the word in case someone else does.

Journey to Bethlehem--in Pflugerville

2010-11-30T21:32:00.000-08:00

My friend Heidi is directing "Journey to Bethlehem" at the Pflugerville Community Church this Friday and Saturday night. She asked me to post info about the event here---and I'm happy to do so!! It's wonderful. We take our family every year and highly recommend it. http://www.facebook.com/notes/journey-to-bethlehem-2010/journey-to-bethlehem-press-release/119067418146815

Sweet Target Deals

2010-11-22T12:21:00.000-08:00

I just got EZ two books for his Tag Reader at Target for $5 total. Right now certain titles are $9.99 and all of the titles are buy one get one free this week. So I bought 2 for $10 and then I used a $5 off coupon that I got here http://www.learnonthegosweepstakes.com/ and so it was just $5 for both.

Also Target has the Little People Nativity for $14.99 this week. It is usually $27.99 and it is awesome so you should get it. You should check online or caqll the store to see if it is in stock before you go because some stores are already sold out.

Going to the Movies During the Thanksgiving Break?

2010-11-22T06:30:00.000-08:00

Did you see the deal on movie tickets?? (Marie Tidwell told me about it!)

I don't know if you're taking your kids to go see the new Disney "Tangled" or not (Harrison and friend went and saw a sneak peak of "Tangled" last week in 3-D and said it was really fun)..here's a good way to get movie tickets for cheap.

You buy 2 general mills cereals (specially marked packages) and use GM cereal coupons (like those on coupons.com) for around a $4 total at Target, Wal-Mart, etc. for the 2 boxes.

You enter the codes from the cereal boxes at http://new.emoviecash.com/gmills/code.php?eng and it sends a movie pass to you printer. The pass pays for up to $12 of a movie ticket including "no pass and no coupon" movies.

I thought it was a pretty good deal since you get a movie ticket plus 2 boxes of cereal for around $4.

Apples

2010-11-03T09:05:00.000-07:00

The Mercantile at Dyer Dairy in Georgetown has apples for 50 cents per pound. There are Gala and Cameo apples straight from the tree. They aren't going to be as pretty as the apples we buy at the store, but neither do they have herbicides, pesticides, or any of that waxy stuff on them. I just picked up our milk there and the apples smelled soooooo good. Just thought I'd share the info. You do need to bring your own boxes. Store hours are M/T/Th/F/S from 10-7, and Sunday from 1-6. Address is 7801 E. Hwy 29, G'town. Phone is 512-638-0415. Web site is www.DyerMercantile.com

This saturday i'm having a get this stuff out of my garage sale/give away

For my friends just about everything is free, for my friendly strangers there will once again be a huge pile full of stuff that i'm not going to bother to try to sell for what ever reason. Last time this was about 50% of the stuff and it was dissapearing almost as fast as we put it out there, no clue what will happen this time but i'm sure there will be plenty. We are going to start as bright and early as we can muster and keep going untill we can take no more. heh.

I will open the garage and start sorting, so I will continue to add stuff through out the day.

Does anyone have an extra folding table or 2 I can borrow? If so please let me know.
Thanks and see ya on saturday.

Kiddie Acres half price!

2010-10-05T08:49:00.000-07:00

This is a really good deal that Free Fun In Austin posted on her blog today. She has some great stuff on there everyday so check it out at http://www.freefuninaustin.com/

I thought this one was worth double mentioning.

In celebration of their 31st birthday, Kiddie Acres is offering a $40 gift certificate (20 kiddie ride tickets, and 2 mini-golf games), for only $20. This pass will allow a family with 2 children to ride all of the attractions once and enjoy a round of mini-golf. Or kids can go on their favorite rides multiple times (the train!) and skip others. You decide how to use your ride tickets. There is no admission charge and free parking.

There are only 25 of these gift certificates available, so act now if you're interested. This offer is available from Neofill, the company that offers deals through local radio stations. Neofill will send the gift certificate through the mail, so you will need to pay $3.75 for shipping. I have used Neofill several times and, apart from the shipping charge, have been very pleased with their service. Go here to purchase your $40 Kiddie Acres Gift Certificate, for $23.75. Your gift certificate will expire March 31, 2011.

There are 4 more ways you can save at Kiddie Acres:

Use the coupon found here. You will get 3 free ride tickets when you purchase 10 or more.
Discount Day is Wednesday. On Wednesday, ride tickets are $1.10.
Grandparents Day is Sunday. On Sunday, ride tickets are $1.10 when grandparents purchase them.
Military Discounts apply every day. Show your valid military ID and you can purchase ride tickets for $1.10.

Fabulous Kid Sale

2010-10-04T20:12:00.000-07:00

Ladies,
I found this post on craigslist and it sounds totally awesome! Unfortunately, I'll be out of town on this day, but it sounds like there should be a lot of good stuff. I've just copied and pasted the info below from the post on Craigslist, so if you would like the invite to the pre-sale, reply to the post on craigslist:

The Austin of Mothers of Multiples Club is hosting their twice yearly Children's Resale on Saturday October 16, 2010 at Austin Sports Center on 425 Woodward St from 8-1pm. Members will be selling their gently used baby equipment (strollers, car seats, high chairs, bouncers, cribs etc) as well as clothing, shoes, feeding equipment (bottles, plates, bibs, booster seats etc), safety equipment (baby gates, potty chairs, diaper trash cans, etc) and tons of books and toys for all ages as well as lots of bigger toys like bikes and ride ons. Because our membership has grown our selection has grown making each sale bigger than the last. We currently have over 80 sellers which means our largest sale ever!

Seasonal items will also be sold including costumes for Halloween and Holiday wear. This sale will include a separate boutique clothing area where higher end clothing will be sold.

Come enjoy this great opportunity to get some great bargains! The Austin Mothers of Multiples uses the funds from this sale to fund our non-profit organization. For more info, please go to http://www.austinmoms.org/childrens_resale.html.

Free Family Nights

2010-09-13T19:43:00.000-07:00

Thanks to Ian's teacher I have this info to share

Free admission to anyone at the Pflugerville Recreation Center from 6 p.m.-9 p.m. For more information, please call 251-5082.

4/5 Preschool

2010-08-10T16:07:00.000-07:00

Ladies-
Though I am not part of the Pf ward anymore, I am still closeby and close with a lot of you so I thought I would put this out there.
I am doing a homeschool curriculum this year with my son, Dallin, for preschool. I wanted to know if anyone else was interested in having their child join us. Dallin is almost 5 years old (his birthday is at the end of September) and we are toying with the idea of homeschooling him beyond preschool so we wanted to try it out this year.
I would like to open this up to 4 or 5 year olds only since the curriculum is desgined for that age group and I am basing it around my son's needs. I am using the Sonlight Pre-k 4/5 curriculum with added language arts (early K level) and Saxon math (level K, but very basic to my understanding). Sonlight is a Christian based program and does have a Bible element which uses a different Bible version....so I will be using the idea of a memory verse and scripture story, but from KJV or BOM.
This curriculum is about $600-$800 if you buy it yourself. I would be willing to do this for free if anyone is interested. You would be responsible for either buying the workbooks (about 30-50) or for making the copies of our workbook for your child to use. It would be M-TH 9-12 with optional F playday or field trip.
I plan on starting on Sept 6.
Please let me know if you are interested.
Thanks-
Valerie K.

There is a great site I found through facebook friends called Scriptures 4 Kids. It has scripture stories, online games, reading charts, etc for kids to help them learn to read and enjoy their scriptures. They are doing a summer reading program sponsored by Deseret Book. If the kids read scriptures 15 minutes a day for 60 days, they can earn a $10 deseret book.com gift card. (There are also lesser reading programs available). They even have cool summer reading charts and a kick-off FHE lesson for the summer reading program.

Farm Fresh Milk & Eggs

2010-03-14T16:16:00.000-07:00

For a while now I've been getting farm-fresh, raw milk from a dairy in Georgetown. Currently the cost is $6/gallon, which is what I've paid for organic milk at the grocery store. Here's the info in case you're interested:

Dyer Dairy
7801 E. Hwy. 29
Georgetown
(512) 638-0415
www.dyerdairy.com

Mr. Dyer also has eggs, I believe at $3.50 per dozen, plus seasonal veggies, beef, etc.

Also, if you want to save 50 cents on the eggs, Pioneer Farms is selling their eggs for $3/dozen. The museum is open now Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. I usually go on Fridays to pick up eggs (and my daughter who apprentices there), so you can either go for yourself, or place an order with me. There's no guarantee on availability. The current hens produce about 12 dozen eggs per week, and the farm just got a bunch more chicks, so by summertime they'll be swimming in eggs. The web site is www.pioneerfarms.org.

Homemade Stain-Remover Spray

2010-03-14T16:13:00.000-07:00

This recipe is from my cousin and it appears to be working just as well as the expensive store-bought stuff.

1 Cup Amonia
1 Cup Liquid Dish Soap (containing no chlorite or bleach)
1 Cup White Vinegar
1 Cup Water

Mix it all up, pour it into a spray bottle, and clean your clothes! I'm finding that the smaller spray bottles are easier to handle. I made up a gallon of this recipe a little over a month ago and I'm not even half-way through it yet - and I treat everyone's tops, etc., so it's a good bargain.

Homemade Laundry Soap

2010-03-14T16:05:00.001-07:00

I've had requests to share this recipe - I hope someone finds it useful. I'll post a recipe for stain-remover spray as well.

HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED:
Small Batch
1/3 bar Fels Naptha (or bar soap of your choice)
1/2 cup washing soda (see note at bottom)
1/2 cup borax powder
Water
(Optional) 2-3 oz essential oil or fragrance oil of your choice
Small bucket, about 2 gallon size

Large Batch
1 bar of Fels Naptha (or bar soap of your choice)
1½ cups washing soda (see note at bottom)
1½ cups borax powder
Water
(optional) 2-3 oz essential oil or fragrance oil of your choice
Bucket, 5-6 gallon size

DIRECTIONS (large batch in parentheses)
* Grate the soap and put it in a sauce pan (stock pan for large batch)
* Add 6 cups (18 cups) water and heat it until the soap melts
* Add the washing soda and borax and stir until it is dissolved.
* Remove from heat.
* Now add 1 gallon plus 6 cups (4 gallons plus 2 cups) water to your bucket.
* Now add your soap mixture and stir.
* Let the soap sit for about 24 hours and it will (should) gel.
* Use ½ cup per load.

Note: Plugerville Wal-Mart does not have "washing" soda on the laundry aisle, just regular baking soda. HEB has the washing soda.

I've made the large batch twice now and it's lasting me about 4 months, at an average of 8 loads per week. The cost breakdown is about 2 cents per load. A great savings.

$1 Meatball Plates at Ikea

2010-03-03T14:47:00.001-08:00

My favorite thing is back, the $1 meatball plates at Ikea. They are yummy and between the meatballs and the mashed potatoes one plate is enough for me. John eats 2, but hey for a buck I can handle that. The kiddies love them as well so it makes for quite the cheap night out. It is going on this Friday through Sunday. Maybe we will see you there!

Re: Baby Model

2010-02-25T16:42:00.000-08:00

Actually, I'll take any infant (boy or girl) that weighs between 12 and 15 pounds who is willing to try on my dress :)

Baby Model

Does anyone have a 13 pound baby girl?

Hehe, that was a weird question. The thing is, I am making my niece's blessing dress (and she lives in Idaho) and I am, of course, doing it in typical Chontal style (which means without a pattern) and I need a baby to try it on to make sure it fits/works.

So, that said, does anyone have a 13 pound baby girl who is willing to try on my blessing dress?

Thanks,
Chontal

TomTom 140 GPS for $45.04 at Target

2010-01-30T12:40:00.000-08:00

I saw this on slickdeals today and then went and found it at the Super Target by 685. So this is a TomTom 140 GPS and it was originally $180, but is now marked down to $45. You can also get a 2 year protection plan for $4. Not too shabby. I picked one up about 2 hours ago and there were 3 left. The guys said when they initially marked them down yesterday that they had 11, so if you are interested you really better jump on this one.

Once Upon A Child

2010-01-20T11:04:00.000-08:00

There is a pretty good consignment store near Randall's called Once Upon a Child. Prices are okay but they pay pretty well for what you are selling to them. This Saturday they are having a sale...they will hand you a bag when you come in the store. Put as many clearance items (red slash through price tag) in the bag for only $15. Not too bad. I don't know how big the bag is, but if you even get 10 things in the bag, then that's only $1.50 each. Happy Shopping!

Evaluation Anyone?

2010-01-20T08:15:00.000-08:00

We are flying out a specialist (and old family friend) to do an evaluation/set up a program for our Dallin. She is from Dallas. Her name is Donna Bateman and she runs Parenting with Purpose. She specializes in brain development particularly in children with special needs (brain damage, add, adhd, dyslexia, autism, etc). She has had A LOT of success (including with her own son). If anyone is interested in having an evaluation of their child done, we could set up times together so that you don't have to pay to fly her out here. The evaluation is $500, but includes A LOT. If you are interested, you can contact me for more information at valerieakellogg@gmail.com

Card Making

2010-01-17T19:16:00.000-08:00

I have a huge family, and I like to make them all handmade birthday cards...so every January I make about 60 cards, and I thought it would be fun to make an activity out of it.

It will be next Monday, January 25th from 10:30am-12pm. Bring your supplies, bring your kids, and prepare to get lots done. (If you don't care about making cards, bring your scrapbook, knitting, whatever you want to work on, or just come as a play date.)

Just let me know if you are coming so that I can make sure to have enough work space for everybody.

Stock up on citrus --Price might be going up!

2010-01-08T20:18:00.001-08:00

Hi Ladies: You've probably heard on the news that this freezing cold weather might have an impact on the future price of citrus (citrus futures on Wal-Street soared this week in anticipation of low supply due to the freeze).

So if you want to stock up, HEB on 685 (and perhaps other HEBs, as well) are selling 5 lb. bags of grapefruit and naval oranges for just .97 cents this week! That's not per pound--but the entire bag!! Plus, strawberries are $1.50/lb!

Just FYI! :-)

No longer supporting a missionary----

2010-01-07T14:39:00.000-08:00

----so now everything is falling apart :)

Does anyone have or know about someone who is getting rid of their washer and dryer?
Ours is about to fall apart, and I don't know how much longer I can depend upon them.
I"m looking for a cheap deal-- as I've mentioned, there are other things around here that are also needing to be worked on or replaced.
Must be an all electric set. No gas dryers.
Thanks!!

The photo isn't too great....this was after we had put it in the box, and then quickly pulled it back out to snap a photo. Looks better when fluffed! :-)

Band Hero for Wii

2009-12-30T18:08:00.000-08:00

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

2009-12-28T06:59:00.000-08:00

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.
