I love these Glade fragrance products and have been stocking up when I find a sweet sale! 😉

These products also qualify for the $5 SCJohnson Rebate! (I will tell you more about that in a minute!)

We are leaving for vacation tomorrow, so I wanted to head to Publix this morning to get some of the sweetest deals that I have come across for this week’s Publix sale. I SPENT: $9.61 and SAVED: $129.87!!! Of that total, $3.70 was sales tax–gotta love it! 😉 My cashier, Lori was so sweet and very patient with me as I had over 30 coupons! 😉

I was able to stock up on Toothpaste for donations and the cookie mix will be for baking during the holidays! I was also able to use the rest of my $3 Snuggle Fabric softener coupons for FREE Fabric Softener.

How would like to be able to stay home and order groceries right from your own computer? Well, now you can, thanks to a wonderful new site called www.alice.com! You can order groceries, HBA items, paper items, baby items, etc… from the luxury of your own home and you will get them shipped to your front door for FREE!!! Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Well, it is not! I already signed up and am contemplating my first order through Alice!

Not only does Alice ALWAYS offer FREE shipping, but here are some other things that they provide:

–FREE coupons for the products that you are ordering! Alice will apply coupons that they have available for their products directly to your order-no need to worry about clipping coupons for the grocery store-they do the work for you!

-I also love the fact that you can set up a schedule of when you want your products delivered to your door. You can choose by every month, 3 months, 6 months or by year! That is so sweet!

-Don’t you love the fact too that if you live a distance from your local grocery store that you can save money on gas by ordering your groceries at home? Also, it’s nice if you have inclement weather and can’t get out of the house! Oh, did I mention, you don’t have to drag the kids out to the grocery store? 😉 I like that one!

-Alice offers a FREE membership and you can cancel at any time!

-Alice also has SALES like your local grocery store!

-Alice will keep track of all your savings, coupons used, items purchased, etc…

Okay, have I enticed you enough? I highly recommend going and setting up your account and then searching the Alice site for the products that your family uses. From what I can tell, even the products that they don’t have a coupon for are very reasonably priced! Where or where was this site when I had Drew almost 4 years ago? This is every mother’s dream of never having to go out to purchase diapers! 😉

Check it out and let me know what you think! 😉  www.alice.com

I recently came across an amazing article written by Charles Passy of the Palm Beach Post on The 10 commandments of the new consumerism. I wanted to share this article with you all as it has some helpful and valuable information that we should be using on a daily basis! I hope that you will find this article as educational and helpful as I did! “The 10 commandments of the new consumerism“
