Saving Electronics that get Wet

I recently got a new washer and dryer, and was excited to try them out. I gathered up a bunch of clothes, threw them in the washing machine and started the cycle. When it was done, I took at all the clothes, and transferred them to the dryer. What did I see at the bottom of the washing machine? My son's ipod!!! ACK!! He left it in the pocket of his shorts, and I didn't check them before I washed them. I end up washing lots of items, I am not a pocket checker.

I was sure it was destroyed. I remember saving a cell phone before, so I tried the same method on his ipod, and it worked. It is seriously good as new!

Here is what you do if you get something wet, and hopefully it will save your device too, I have saved 2 electronics with this method.

1. Don't use a blow dryer or fan to dry it out, you will want to use a vacuum cleaner to suck the water out, not blow it around.

2. Take the device apart if possible.

3. If it is a phone that got wet remove the battery and Sim card.

4. Set in a bowl of dry rice, completely cover the item. Leave for 24-48 hours. The rice should absorb the any of the liquid.

5. After the wait time, check the device. Do a happy dance, because it is perfectly fine.

6. If it is not perfectly fine, you can skip the happy dance.

I cannot tell you how relieved I am that we were able to save his ipod. I saved myself the money of replacing the device by taking the time to dry it out.

15% off at Walgreens 7/31 Only

Use THESE coupons at Walgreens on July 31st, and you will receive 15% off your entire purchase. Plus, if you are buying any Walgreens brand items, they will be 20% off instead of 15%.

I plan on using this coupon in conjunction with the hair dryer they have on sale for $14.99. When you purchase the hair dryer you will receive a $10 Register Reward. My hair dryer recently died, so it is time to get a new one.

My Target 75% off Clearance Finds

I finally unpacked the box with the camera/computer cord in it. Yeah! So, here are all of my Target clearance finds. I picked up a few of these items yesterday, and the rest I picked up today by stopping at 3 Target's. I will list everything and give you the prices, so if you are out you will know what items to look for.

I saw somebody mention the Leapster on the Gotta Deal message board, so I knew it was ringing up 75% off. When I found one at my Target it was marked $34.98, I had my son run and scan it for me, and sure enough it was only $12.48. So remember to scan items you are really interested in, they may be lower.

I do want to mention that all of these toys are not for my family, I also pick up items for my sister (who works) and a couple of other friends (who have small napping children at home), and some of the items I save for the Giving Tree at Christmas time. I have mentioned this before, but I pick up toys now when the are 75% off so when my kids get invited to birthday parties, they can bring a gift that I got at a great price.

So here is everything!

Transformer 22.48 (reg 89.99) My son found this and he is so proud!

Leapster 12.48 (reg 49.99)

Leapster game 6.24 (reg 24.99)

Hyper Jump game 3.72 (reg 14.99) picked up 3 of these for b-day gifts

Our Generation doll 9.98 ( reg 39.99)

Playskook Giggle Garden 4.24 ( reg 16.99)

Card game 1.23 (reg 4.99) Another great stocking stuffer!

Transformer Potato Head 2.48 (reg 9.99)

Cupcake decorator 3.24 (reg 12.99)

Air Hogs Micro Gravity 8.24 (reg 32.99)

Small Knex 1.24 (reg 4.99) Another stocking stuffer!

ATM bank 7.48 (reg 29.99)

Aquadoodle 6.24 (reg 24.99)

Lil Loveable stuff dog 3.74 (reg 14.99)

Planet Heroes figure 3.74 (reg 14.99)

Wedgits set 4.48 (reg 18.99)

Puzzibits 3.74 (reg 14.99)

Dino Puzzle 2.48 (reg 9.99)

Small Baby Alive 6.24 (reg 24.99)

Small imaginext 2.98 (reg 11.99)

med imaginext 4.24 (reg 16.99)

large imaginext 6.24 (reg 24.99)

Leap Frog 2 puzzle set 1.24 (reg 4.99)

I found this item in the Picnic item section at 90% off. It only cost me $ .79. My daughter has already put this to use. I have definitely gotten my .79 out of it already.

If you want to post your finds too, you are more than welcome to leave a link in the comments section. I love seeing every bodies super deals!

One More Target 75% Off Clearance Update

If you haven't been to Target today, you should head there now. I stopped at 3 stores this afternoon, and they all marked lots of the clearance down to 75% off. I took my 14 year old son with me, and gave him some tips as we headed into each store, things like "you grab the cart, I'll start walking back there" and "throw things in and we'll decide later whether we want it or not" and "walk fast, we don't have time for water". He told me as we entered the 2nd store "Man, somebody should do a comedy routine about this, because they could really make fun of you". Sweet, isn't he? I'll admit it, I am a bit of a crazy lady when it comes to Target clearance.

We found some great deals, and once I do a little more unpacking I will take pictures and share our deals.

Stocking Stuffers - School Supplies

I mentioned in my previous post that I like to save some of the freebies I get for stocking stuffers at Christmas time. I also like to stock up on the school supplies this time of the year, and save them as well. You can find school and art supplies at great deals before school starts, and they make great stocking stuffers.

I picked up a couple of the Rose Art watercolor paints that were on sale this week at Target for $ .50. I also bought some Crayola colored pencils for $ .88. You should be able to find crayons and markers at a great prices too. By doing this I save money by buying them now when they are an excellent deal, and it also saves me time at Christmas, because the majority of the shopping for stocking gifts has been done.

Free LeapFrog Board Book

LINK HAS BEEN FIXED, IT SHOULD WORK NOW!

You can receive a free LeapFrog board book when you sign up at LeapFrog.com and link a LeapFrog toy to Learning Path. You will receive the Tag Junior Animal Orchestra ABC book for free. Go HERE for all the instructions, it is super easy. I have done it before, and I am not very tech savvy, so if I can do it you know it has to be easy. What a great freebie! I love to save freebies like this for stocking stuffers, before you know it when Christmas rolls around you already have a bunch of stuff for inside your kids stockings.

Today's Target 75% Toy Clearance Update

Yesterday I stopped by a store in the late afternoon and they had marked thing down to 75% off. Yeah! They had a smaller selection than some of the stores I have seen, but I was able to find a few items I wanted. I will share pictures of what I found as soon as I find which box the camera/computer cord is in.

If you store was in the process of resetting the department (moving the toys to different shelves) yesterday, you may want to check back today. They will probably be needing the extra space so the toys should be marked down soon. Not all items are getting marked down to 75% off, the Lego's seem to be at 50% off, and also some Star Wars items.

For those of you that are local, these are the stores that have been confirmed at 75% off:

Kent - 75% off Wed. afternoon

South Hill Mall - 75% off Wed. (Thanks Liz!)

Go HERE for the most recent information on what people have found and what stores have gone 75% off. If you have any information regarding your store, make sure to leave a comment. Thanks so much!

High Value Honey Bunches of Oats Coupon

You can go HERE to print a $2.00 off coupon for Honey Bunches of Oats with Pecan clusters. Right now Safeway has the Honey Bunches of Oats cereal on sale for $1.99, so you will be able to get if for free with the coupon, if this variety is included in the sale.

Target Toy 75% Markdown 2009 NOW!?

Are you anxious for the toys to be marked down? I sure am! Some stores mark down their toys on Wednesday, while others seem to mark theirs down on Thursdays, so you will probably need to go on whatever day your store normally marks the toys down. If you aren't familiar with which day it is and you don't want to miss out on the sale, I would check your store on both days.

According to THIS thread, one store is reporting that their toys went down to 75% off as of 7:30 PST this morning. She also reported that one of the seasonal outdoor toys went to 75% off, just the regular toys (this is normal, they always seem to mark the seasonal toys down later). Another person has reported that the seasonal picnic items have been marked down to 90% off, so if you head out you might want to check that aisle too.

Remember that when it comes to clearance, not every Target works on the same schedule, it is possible that your Target could be marking down their toys next week. Good luck!

Please leave a comment here, and let us know what you find at your Target, and if they were marked down. Thanks so much!

QUICK UPDATE: One more person reported 75% off. GO CHECK IT OUT!!!!

MY UPDATE: I stopped at 2 stores this morning, and neither one of them had been marking the toys down, I think they will be busy resetting the entire department today and will not make it to marking down the toys. I stopped at Factoria & Issaquah for those of you that are local. One store still had all the clearance mixed in with the regular price toys and the other had carts full of toys that they were reorganizing. Thanks so much for everyone that leaves a comment, it helps everyone know just what is going on in their area.

Target Toy 75% Markdown 2009 Update

The toys are Target are still at 30-50% off as of today. I don't think the big markdown will take place this week. In the past, is has happened during the last week of July, so I am assuming it will happen next week or even the week after that

.

To keep an eye on what is being marked down, you can view THIS thread at Gottadeal.com. The page I am linking you to is the last page as of right now, so you will want to make sure you read all the posts after that for the current updates. I will not be available tomorrow morning, so you may want to come back to this post and check in on the thread just in case.

I can't wait for the big day! If you haven't ever shopped the big Target clearance markdown that happens twice a year, you will love it. You can purchase items now at 75% off for Christmas and birthdays you have coming up. For some tips on how to shop the Target clearance, check out my post HERE.

The C & H Sugar is on sale 4/$10, buy 4 packages and you will get $3.00 off, making it only $7 for the 4 packages. That is $1.75 each, and equals out to $ .35 lb. That is a great price!

Fred Meyer 60% of Home Clearance

Fred Meyer has an additional 60% off their clearance in their home section. This doesn't apply to all clearance, most of the other departments are 40% off. I have been able to find some great deals. I am in the process of re-doing my daughters room, and I was able to find her a dresser that was regularly $399.99, and I got it for $117. I don't think the quality of the dresser is worth $399, but it is definitely worth more $117. Plus, this is something that she needed, because the dresser she currently has was part of a nursery set, so the drawers are now way to small for her clothing.

I was also able to find a mirror that I fell in love with when it was full price. I wasn't willing to pay full price, so I waited I was thrilled to finally see the mirror in the clearance section when I stopped by yesterday. The additional 60% off made is a super deal.

So, if you are in need of anything for your home, it might be worth checking out the clearance at Fred Meyer. They have tons of comforters, lights, furniture, decorations, etc.

My Kohl's $3.23 Shopping Trip

Today was the day that we got the keys to our new home. Yeah! So exciting! Another exciting thing is that there is a Kohl's about 5 minutes from our house. Previously, I had to travel 30 minutes to get to a Kohl's store. I love Kohl's clearance, it has really helped me clothe my family for super cheap. Here is what I got today.

I had $20 in Kohl's cash to use that I earned a couple weeks ago when I had to buy a new vacuum cleaner. After the $20 Kohl's cash I used, I paid only $3.23 out of pocket. The original price of everything here would have been $170.00. The ties, underwear and husky shirts were 90% off. The other items were 80% off.

Saving Money on Paint for your Home

Painting your home is a fairly inexpensive way to freshen things up. I love having color on most of my walls. Even though paint is inexpensive compared to some home improvement items, the cost can still ad up fairly quickly. Whenever I am at a home improvement store or even Fred Meyer I like to check out the "oops" paint. These are the paints that have been mixed and didn't match the color exactly, or maybe they were mixed with the wrong finish. The great thing is most places mark down these gallons to only $5.00. That is a huge savings! You can also find 5 gallon paints for larger areas, usually marked at only $15.00. I like painting the bathrooms in my house with the "oops" paint because 1 gallon is enough to do the entire job, so I just keep looking until I find a color I like. I was able to paint one of our bathrooms with a really pretty blue, if I was looking at paint chips I would have totally picked the color out. So, if you are looking to make some improvements and aren't in a hurry, check out the "oops" paint at your stores. They usually stack them together in the paint section

Here is a look at the paint I bought for our bathroom. Since we are moving we have to do a lot of re-painting. The current color in my bathroom is a green color which I love, but it is definitely not for everybody. I knew I wanted to repaint it a neutral color. When I was at Home Depot I happened upon this beige color in a semi-gloss that is recommended for bathrooms. I was thrilled!

Craigslist is another great place to check for paint. Since it can't be thrown away a lot of times people will offer it for FREE if you take it off their hands.

Here in Washington, if you are a King County resident you can also get FREE paints from the City of Seattle through Seattle Public Utilities Household Hazardous Waste Section. They have left over paint from projects that they can't throw away, so they give it away free . They have both indoor and outdoor paints. They also offer other items for FREE, paints, solvents, automotive products, fertilizers and gardening products. If you are interested in this program you can call their customer service number 206-684-3000 .

If you live in a different state, you can check with your city to see if they have a similiar program. You can't beat paint and fertilizers for FREE!

Spode Square Baking Dish 73% off

UPDATE: The green version is now back up to $58.00. OUCH! I love how Amazon has some great deals, but their price changes can be frustrating some times. Hopefully, it will go down again.

This super cute Spode 10 inch baking dish is currently 73% off at Amazon. The regular price is $58, and it is currently marked down to $15.56. The green variety is the only one that is marked down this low, so make sure to click on the green dish for the $15.56 price.

Spode Baking Days 10-Inch Square Dish

This would make a wonderful gift. You could pair it with a baking mix, tie it up with a ribbon, and it would be super cute. I just love things with polka dots, they make me happy. This also qualifies for free super saver shipping when you spend $25.
