Nanny to Mommy

Did you ever lose your way while blogging? That's how I have kind of felt lately. My blog started out as a way to keep track of my pregnancy and then just share deals with friends & family. Then I found that I could make a little money for sharing deals that I was already sharing! And now with giveaways, reviews, and sponsored posts...I feel I have lost my way. I apologize for that. I love that you all are still managing to stick with me through thick and thin. And my randomness. Thank you all.

So on to the reason that I'm assuming most of you still stick around, my couponing trips! :D My dear friend over at Funny Postpartum Lady commented on a photo I shared on my Facebook page about how I saved 70% Saturday on my groceries. The picture isn't very good, but I did manage to buy fruits, veggies, dairy, and meats but only spent about $60! How did I do this? Well I'll give you one of my tips on how I pay for the good stuff; OVERAGE! Next frugal post, I'll share another tip I use; Hint: Catalinas! :D

Okay so this is what I bought. I went to Kroger and Publix but only one trip because I live 30 minutes from anything and gas is expensive. So here are the breakdowns. Today is the last day for most of the Publix deals, but you can grab some of the Kroger deals still. :D

Okay so that's how I did shopping last week. Sorry it's so late. I have been so over whelmed (and sick) so I have just been on pause. I will try and get back into updating everything regularly and with a better consistency than it has been lately. Let me know how you all did in the comments! :)



Some free products found here, I received through the Kroger Summer Grilling Bzz Campaign. I love Kroger brand products. The burgers were juicy and fit perfect on the soft slider buns. The cola was refreshing and the chips made the perfect side. I bought more cola later as they had a 4/$9 deal that I just couldn't pass up! I love feeding my family fun foods and when I shop at Kroger, I know I can do it without breaking the bank! :)

Thank you Stonyfield for sponsoring this review and giveaway. All opinions are 100% my own.



My daughter has been a huge fan of Stonyfield yogurt since she was a baby. We loved feeding her Stonyfield YoBaby and knowing she was eating the best. That's why I jumped at the opportunity to try out their new YoKids sMOOthies!

YoKids sMOOthies are made with real organic fruits and veggie puree, they are a convenient kid-friendly size, they are a healthier alternative to more processed on-the-go snacks, and each bottle accounts for 1/3 of kids' recommended daily serving of calcium! How awesome is that!? My daughter loved them! She would have a sMOOthie with breakfast, in the car, on play dates, just about anywhere! I am going to be honest, I didn't feel comfortable just letting my two year old drink out of them in the car, so that's why a straw is pictured below.



Are you ready for the fun part? Stonyfield even offered one lucky Nanny to Mommy reader the chance to win an "On The mOOve" Prize Pack of their own! One US winner will get 4 FREE product coupons and deck of "52 Fun Things to do in the Car" cards pictured below.



Giveaway is open to US only, all entries are verified.

If you can't wait to see if are a winner to let your kiddos try them on the mOOve, click HERE for $1 off coupon!
