Caring for My Chaos

**I received product in return for my 100% honest review. All opinions are my own!** Oh, my goodness, am I excited to share this! I know a lot of people are trying to be more green and use reusable bags when they shop. I would like to but the thought of carrying all those bags with me is such a hassle, I just give up and get plastic. Introducing the Lotus Trolley Bag System. This is such an ingenious invention. It's 4 heavy duty reusable bags that attach to each other with handles to keep them upright in your basket. Just carry it with you as shown above, put your groceries up on the conveyor, open this up and put your groceries in! Easy peasy! Here it is in use! There's even a cooler bag, an egg holder and wine holders in there! They come apart so you can easily use one at a time if you want to. And it cut down on the time it takes me to bring all the groceries in. Usually it takes me at least 5 or 6 trips back and forth to get the whole lot in, but I was done in 3 with...

It's that time again! The time of year that all the parents look forward to and all the kids cringe! Back to school. And a lot of states are doing the tax free weekends again. This can save you a bit of money, especially if you have a few kids! This is a list of when the tax free weekends are in most states, but check with your state to find out what is tax free. That changes from state to state. Like here in VA, clothing, footwear and school supplies are tax free. There are also limits on the prices. Like here, it's clothing and footwear under 100$ and school supplies under 20$. So, check with your state and get ready to do some major shopping!

As everyone knows, Goodwill is my favorite store.

I had such a good shopping day! This was from the first stop today at the Dollar Tree. They have these adorable little metal stakes for your garden and I had gotten the cow and pig a few weeks ago and today they had a new shipment in and I got a snail and a butterfly. They are adorable. Then we went to Goodwill, my favoritest store in the whole world! I got 2 pillowcases that have pink roses and crocheted trim and they were 1$ for both. I found Bubby a Dallas Cowboys sweatshirt which he has been wanting for ever and I didn't pay 40$ for it! I paid 2$! Then I found me a pretty blue sundress. I am determined to have enough dresses this summer that I don't have to wear pants! It's a good goal. Then- I hit Kroger for the breakfast deal and got all this for 5$! I had a coupon for 1$ off 3 Big G cereals and since the Big G were included in the buy 3 get free milk deal, I was so happy! I am so stocked up on cereal! It was such a great shopping day!

I just had to share about my shopping trip yesterday! I went to Target to get my doggie some food. He likes the new Kibbles and Bits American Grill which only Target carries so far. Well, I was going to just get the little bag to tide him over until grocery day and they had one bag left that had a 1$ off coupon on it! We all know I love coupons! So I got his food for 4$! I then had to get crickets for the icky thing but decided to stop at Kmart afterwards to look for laundry soap. I knew I had some points on my rewards card. They had the BIG box of Arm and Hammer Oxy powder, 160 load, on sale for 11$. I had over 1$ on my rewards card so I got the huge box for under 10$! THEN, I had 2 coupons from Bath and Body Works that I had gotten in the mail, (You must sign up for the mailing list!) One was for 20% off my entire purchase and 1 was for a free hand sanitizer. I needed a new Wallflower for my room, so I got one of those and then I got Doodle Berry Paris hand sanitizer since she is i...
