Also, if you write up a short shout-out on your own blog as I have done here they will give you 1 FREE POUND of candy!!!
Make sure to add a picture of yourself and link the store's website to your own blog and that is it!

C FREE is the life for ME!!
I am so proud to say that I am cancer FREE!!!! The surgery went extremely well today. My oncologist, Dr. Hyde and Dr. Bowen were able to remove the remaining cancer as well as a clean margin. My mom, Nate, and I arrived just after 10 and had to wait 3 hours after the first initial cut before they would stitch me up. They have to assure they removed all the cancer before they sutcher up the site. After 14 stitches, 3 underneath/inside (whatever that means). I am hoping I heal fast and that my ear will look somewhat normal.

RED LOBSTER BISCUITS!!!
How would you like to save some more $?
Try making these delicious biscuits that call your name and require you to drop a ridiculous amount on food when all you really want is the biscuits. This recipe is SUPER easy and way more affordable than the $50+ you would spend if you were to eat at Red Lobster.

Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups Bisquick
4 Tbsp cold butter
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
3/4 cup milk
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Butter Glaze:
3 Tbsp butter
1/2 tsp garlic powder
3/4 tsp dried parsley flakes
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease or line one cookie sheet with parchment; set aside.
Combine Bisquick with cold butter in a medium bowl using a pastry cutter (I just used 2 forks). Don't worry about mixing too thoroughly; there will be small chunks of butter in the mix about the size of peas. Add cheddar cheese, milk, and garlic powder. Mix by hand until combined, but don't over mix.
Drop 1/4 cup portions of the dough onto the lightly greased or parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 13-15 minutes in preheated oven until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown.
While the biscuits are baking, melt butter is a small bowl in the microwave. Stir in garlic powder and dried parsley flakes. Use a brush to spread the garlic butter over the tops of all the biscuits. Sprinkle a little kosher salt on the freshly coated biscuits. Makes one dozen.

Trust Me I Have a Coupon for That...
Hi everyone! Sorry I have been nursing a stress fracture as well as vacationing to Las Vegas with friends. While down there I was able to snag some FABULOUS deals that I want to share with you.
Upon arrival solo in the amazing city at the ripe hour of 6 AM :/ I contemplated what I was going to do to kill time until our hotel allowed me to check-in as well as until the other girls arrived. The concierge allowed me to store my luggage with them for free and they also offered a free shuttle to the grocery store and then another free shuttle to the outlet malls. I decided to take advantage of this since everyone knows how expensive taxis can be especially in this lovely city (I swear the taxi drivers take the longest route possible). While at the grocery store I loaded up on snacks to avoid having to pay the ridiculous jacked up prices ( FYI even Subway charges $1.35 extra for the SAME EXACT sandwich). After returning back and putting my luggage in the room that I was able to allow them to let me check-in to 2 hours early :) I jumped on the next shuttle to the outlets!! My first was to the Information Booth so I could pick-up the coupon book and have access to exclusive coupons for every store. They typically charge $5, but I asked them how I could get one for free and the nice gentleman told me to show my out-of-state license and I could have one. I decided while I read through the booklet and mapped out a game plan I would get my hair curled by the nice lady offering. She was super nice even after I was brutally honest with her about having no intensions of purchasing her special straightner an still curled all my hair. This allowed me ample time to decide that my poor swollen, nasty fractured foot deserved new running shoes! The Nike Store offered a coupon for $25 off a purchase of $100. I knew the Nike Airs that I wanted were $129, so I figured I was good to go! After trying on the shoes and absolutely falling in love with the comfort the salesman informed me that I could save almost $50 by buying the "child's version" of the shoes. I laughed hysterically and assured him my size 8 1/2 feet were definitely NOT child's size. He then told me that a 7M in kids is equivalent to my size. YIPPY!!! Not only were these shoes cheaper, but so much cuter too!! I then was able to get this jacket for basically free by using that coupon I found in the outlet booklet.
Another great way to save is to take a peak inside the coupon books the hotel provides. While walking to Denny's at 4 A.M. with my girlfriends I announced we would be saving $10 off of our meal due to my coupon that I found. They all laughed and stated that only I would do such an awesome thing!
In the end never let a price be bottom line, research it out and BARGAIN.... BARGAIN... BARGAIN!!
