What to buy THIS week for Easter 2/8/19

I know, I know. Easter is still 2 months away. That makes this the PERFECT time to stock up on summer clothes (because they will go OFF clearance in a just a few short weeks) and to buy items from online companies that ship from China.

Bonus: Crazy 8 and Gymboree have announced they are going out of business. This means some excellent deals on what is left of their inventory.

Here is what I'm buying this week:

(Disclaimer: These were the prices and items in stock on the dates I wrote/researched for this post 2/5-2/7/19. Prices and availability are subject to change.)


For the Baby:

If you are already placing an Amazon order, add this teether on to your order for $3.54.

With Gymboree and Crazy 8 going out of business, I would also shop for headbands, bows, hats and socks. You may even find some deeply discounted outfits.


For the Toddler:

I am digging these faux wood sunglasses sunglasses for boys and these sparkle sunglasses for girls from Gymboree ($2.97 each). Go ahead and check out the deals on the rest of the Gymboree sight to stock up on clothes for the coming summer season too!

Also, now is a good time to start watching the discounted movie bin at Walmart!

For the Little Kid:

Go on over to Crazy 8 for an amazing deal on summer tanks. Your little girl is sure to love this rainbow tank and your little boy will be extra awesome in this awesome tank, for $2.97 each.  They also have a ton of accessories for under $2.

Go ahead and buy some character toiletry items. Make bath time more fun with these Paw Patrol 3 in 1 shampoo, conditioner and body wash.

For the Big Kid:

This week, I stocked up on Abercrombie Kids summer clothes. Their shipping rate is really reasonable and if you sign up for their rewards card, you will get a $10 off $50 coupon (which I didn't use this time, because I only spent $20). This girls logo shirt is under $7 and this boys logo shirt is only $9.99. They also have shorts on sale for both for around $12.

This is also a good time to head on over to Wish to buy some sports or favorite character items. They have a variety of sports bracelets like these for $2 including shipping. They also have necklaces, headbands and hats. Your kid not into sports? They also have a magnificent collection of Harry Potter items and Fortnight shirts for cheap. Pay attention to sizing, they tend to run small so your big kid may very well wear an adult small or medium.  These items can take anywhere from two weeks to about a month to get to you, so don't wait to order these items. I have ordered items I never received but the refund process was quick and painless (next day after the item didn't arrive by 1 week after the expected delivery date.) I have received over 90% of the items I ordered, so overall for the price, it is a win!

For the Tween:

I found a coupon code for these bluetooth earbuds that made them $11. The coupon code is IAXGHIMA. The expected delivery date isn't until March, and I don't know how long the coupon code will last.

Now is also a good time to go ahead and look for a decent pocket knife or stock up on some cosmetics.

For the Teen:

Ok, so I actually bought two pairs of the earbuds above, one for my teen and one for my tween. Both American Eagle and Hollister are running sales right now. Hollister has this swim separates like this cute emroideried top for $9.99. They also have these charcoal board shorts for $19.99. If you join their rewards program, you will get a coupon off AND once you earn a certain amount of points, you will get FREE shipping on EVERY order! Yay!

This week is also a good week to raid your local dollar store for the best tech accessories. These will go fast once other people start thinking about Easter. My favorite find was a cell phone stand at Dollar Tree. This will come in handy for making videos or video chatting with friends with out having to hold the phone the entire time.

For the Adult:

I don't know many adults who would not like this wireless charging pad on Amazon for under $12. It is a daily deal, but I have noticed the tech deals seem to renew every day for about a week. Keep checking!

This is also a good week to check out the kitchen spoons, can openers and other gadgets at Walmart, Target and Dollar General, especially if you are looking for spring colors.



That is what I bought this week. What did you buy? Do you know of any good deals I should check out?

If I ignore it....

....will it go away? Today is just one of those days when everything hits me all at once: The stress of our situation and uncertainty of what is to come, the worries of money and how we will survive, and the feeling disconnected from the world. Day in and day out, I try to look at the bright side and hope and pray for the best. I do research to affirm where we stand and the likliness of a good outcome. I have thrown everything I have into finding ways to make and save money, telling myself it will make a difference. I never stop racking my brain. However, I never seem to shake the feeling of being disconnected from the world. My only social outlet is work, and being that, is limited. I seem to have very little in common with the people who are easily accessible to me outside of my family, and very little time for those with which I can relate. I crave something creative...to paint, photograph, write, but by the end of the night, when I alot my self some time, I am too mentally tired...

Easter Bunny Interview

The night the Easter Bunny was to visit our house, Zachary asked me: “Don’t you think the Easter Bunny is with Santa Clause and has Santa give him a ride on Easter?” Well you know, I don’t know. I remember asking Santa how he made it to all those houses in one night. I don’t think I’ve ever asked the Easter Bunny….anything! Now that Easter has come and gone, the Easter Bunny agreed to answer some essential questions. Me: “Do you live at the North Pole with Santa? EB: “No No, it is much too cold there for a bunny. I live in a hole in the ground.” Me: “Is this hole in the ground on Easter Island?” EB: “The location of my home is classified. Santa can give out his location since it is hard to travel to the North Pole, and the weather is frightful. My home is actually much more accessible and the weather is pretty nice.” Me: “Are you and Santa friends?” EB: “Oh yes! I am friends with the Tooth Fairy too!” Me: “How do you get all the candy for Easter?” EB: “Well, I started out making all t...

I'm a WOH! Mom

I am a WOH! (Work Outside the Home) Mom. I don’t have a choice. My Husband and I both have to work to afford a 1200 sq. ft. house in a small town 45 minutes out of Nashville. We both have to work to afford two older vehicles (2002 and 2003). We both have to work to pay the electric bill, water bill and car insurance. We don’t have cable or satellite, we don’t have internet and we don’t spend money eating out. Most months we barely get by. If one of us decided to stay home and we got rid of one vehicle, we could only afford to pay $200.00 in rent. We would still make too much to qualify for any kind of state or federal assistance. So we both work. But, if I had the choice, I would still be a WOH! Mom. Don’t get me wrong, I would LOVE to not HAVE to work, but I would still work. I would still send my daughter to preschool five days a week. For me, Preschool is a God-send. The group of teachers at her preschool are brave. They let the one year olds finger paint!! Preschool has taught my d...
