It's up!!! This site will officially be moved to HERE. The new address is beprovident.wordpress.com I think you will like the cleaner design and shorter address for one. Added bonus- I can update it from my phone, which will make it easier to keep up to date. Spread the word and take a gander. THANKS!!!!!!

Heads Up
I'm creating a new blog to replace this one. The new address will be beprovident.wordpress.com I have decided I like WordPress better than Blogger these days. Plus, my account has reached it's photo max. I hope to have it ready by the end of the day, or the end of the weekend at the very least. It's going to be great and way better than this one!

Attention Wal-Mart Shoppers
Okay, I know I know.... I practically fell off the planet. Guess I was enjoying my summer a bit too much. But this is the last week of summer now so you can rest assured there are regular posts to be resuming. I have some great shopping examples from the last couple of weeks to show you. I am teaching Grocery Smarts classes again so be sure you get in touch with me to schedule a free class and get your $20 gift card. I also have some fun creative ideas to show you, projects we've been working on around here, for the creative side of this blog.
(p.s. There's a new Arizona list for my AZ friends!)
In the meantime....
Have you caught the Wal-Mart clearance going on? I was first alerted to this last Friday by my friend Nikki. She said that all their toys $25 and under were marked down to $2. Well, I wanted to verify this myself but couldn't make it there till nearly midnight on Friday. While that information wasn't entirely accurate, I did find some toys still marked down to $2 from normally around the $12 range. Additionally, I learned when I checked out that this is the time that Wal-Mart typically has their big clearance sales. Being clearance, it's not advertised. But the cashier informed me that she has worked there for a long while and virtually the whole store goes on clearance in these couple of weeks every August. A little note about this: my store is the Centennial Wal-Mart and so I can only say what I know for that store. The following day I went to the Aliante Wal-Mart because I was in the area and curious about if they had the same toy clearance going on. Each store is different in the items on clearance. I did not find nearly the same clearance (in fact some stuff I'd gotten the night before for $2 was on clearance there for $7), but I did find a generally larger selection and just plain different stuff. You have to keep your eyes peeled though because these stores can be tricky about where they hide their clearance items and it is different by store, even by season. But just keep your eyes open and you might find some awesome steals! I now have pretty much all our presents for cousin Christmas gifts purchased and that's a lot of savings.
ALSO, Have you checked out Springs Preserve here in town? If you have a library card then you can get a discount when you visit before October 14th. Just show your library card and receive a free Child's Pass when you buy an Adult's Pass or a 20% discount of an Annual Pass.

Cirque du Soleil SALE
Please visit this LINK for full details and sale amounts. Las Vegas Cirque shows are offering special summer pricing (which I have never seen happen before). In addition to this, when you buy two tickets, the second ticket is just $25! That gives you a potential savings of over 40%. Additionally, this is not a locals only sale and I've noticed the show dates on sale go into October.

Free Movies
Hopefully you are all aware of the free family film festival that Regal Cinemas does over the summer. It is a fabulous way to beat the heat, kill summer boredom, and see some shows for cheap! Check out the schedule here.
