My Walmart Clearance Finds
I had to go to Walmart over the weekend for a couple last minute items for Bryson's birthday party. As I was walking by the Craft section, I noticed an associate marking down items already on clearance so of course I had to stop and browse. She told me the Baby Instant Scrapbooks were already on clearance for $11 but were being marked down to $3. I love these and for this price I couldn't pass up buying some for baby shower gifts.
I was excited with my clearance shopping!!
Total OOP for all 4 - $12
Not sure of the original price but I know I saved at least $24 by the $11 clearance stickers on the books.

My Thrifty Custom Birthday Invitations for Only .04 Each
My little man turned 2 years old on Monday and I am having a Spongebob party for him Saturday. As with anything I do, I try to always find ways to save money when planning birthday parties. This year instead of buying party invitations I decided to be creative and design my own. I was able to make a custom birthday invitation for only .04 each.
Last year, I took advantage of the great deal at Walmart on the Avery Greeting Card Pack for $1.88 that I shared with you here. There is 25 cards per pack, each card being .08 each after coupon. I cut each card in half and designed a postcard invitation so that brought my cost down to .04 each.
I am not the most creative person but I was impressed with my invitation.

Giveaway - Honey Bunches of Oats Review and Giveaway - 3 Winners
I love to try new items. As a Purex Insider, I was given the opportunity to review giveaway 3 coupons for a FREE box of Honey Bunches of Oats.
I was very impressed with Honey Bunches of Oats. I had it every morning until the box was gone. It didn't take long for the box to become empty because my 2 year old and 5 year old loved it too. I wasn't sure how my kids would like it, but it was requested every morning. I also loved that it stayed crunchy after I poured milk in my bowl.
Here is some facts about the Product:
- 10 grams of Whole Grain
- 6 grams of Sugar
- Provides 9 essential vitamins and minerals.
- Contains 4 nutritious grains into crispy flakes and even more crunchy granola bunches
- Heart Healthy

Thrifty Recipe - Cheesecake Filled Strawberries Dipped in Chocolate
I have often made chocolate dipped strawberries but I had never seen or tasted a chocolate dipped strawberry filled with cheesecake. When I first saw this I couldn't figure out why I hadn't thought of this. My husband loves cheesecake and I often make chocolate dipped strawberries as a quick dessert with dinner. I just had never thought of combining the two together. As soon I saw this, I made them within 24 hours and they were fantastic!!
Ingredients:
1 - Pint of Strawberries
1 - Cheesecake Mix
Chocolate - Milk Chocolate or White Chocolate - Your Preference
(I used leftover Easter chocolate bunnies)
Directions:
Prepare the cheesecake mix.
Put the mix inside of a ziploc bag and cut a small hole in the corner of the bag.
Wash the strawberries. Cut the top of the strawberry off and cut the bottom of each strawberry so that it will stand upright.
Fill the strawberry with cheesecake and place the strawberries in the refrigerator to chill.
Right before you are ready to serve dip them in chocolate and place on wax paper. I also drizzled a little chocolate on top.
I made 16 strawberries and between the four of us they were gone within minutes. Enjoy!!
