Here’s a crazy good deal to start off your Thursday morning!  Through May 19th only, Office Max is offering up to 90% back in Office Max Rewards on select office furniture.  After Max Rewards, both of the chairs above are just $9.99 (WOW!)

Max Rewards are credit that you can use in store on future purchases, so if you have other office supplies you’ll need (like paper and ink!), you can use your Max Rewards towards those purchases in the future.  Here are the other items included in the sale:

• Buy 10-ream case copy paper at $49.99, get $34 in Office Max Rewards (makes it $14.99)
• Buy Post it Notes or Post-it Flags at $2.49 – $3.49, get 100% back in Office Max Rewards (makes them free)
• Buy Paper Mate Pens at $6.49, get $5 in Office Max Rewards (makes it $1.49)

Some days I just love every single minute of planning, preparing, and cooking up a meal, and some days . . . well . . .  I just don’t.  In the midst of the craziness around here during the last few weeks of school, just getting any meal eaten together as a family at our house is a tiny miracle, and so far this week we’ve dined on cereal, leftover Mother’s Day food, and pb&js. (And I write a blog that every so often talks about the importance of menu planning . . . yikes!)

So today when I glanced around my fridge and checked out the Publix ad, I knew I had to come up with something a slight step above leftovers or the drive thru.  (And thank goodness, we had just enough dinner as a family before baseball practice . . . woohoo!) This recipe hit the spot, and put dinner on the table without too much mess, all at a bargain meal price.  So, if your family needs a real meal too (that’s not prepared for you by someone at the drive thru window . . .), roll up your sleeves and get to work.  (I promise, we can do this.  Really!)

Did you join us last week in donating a few items for Couponing for Community? Kaley from Cha-Ching on a Shoestring (who coordinates this effort), has put together a fantastic slideshow sharing tons of photos of how people gave throughout the week, and it was so fun to see the abundance we’re able to give when we all work together! (Not to mention, how funny it is that we all have oodles of Suave, Colgate, and Carefree to give!)  Head on over HERE to check it out.

If you weren’t able to give during Couponing to Community, don’t forget that there’s ALWAYS a need, and you can donate a few of your coupon deals anytime, all throughout the year!  If you’re looking for a place to give, start with your local churches, food pantry, or homeless shelter, and always feel free to contact me at contact@ passionate penny pincher .com if you’re looking for a local mission to donate to.

As I type this I need to be walking out the door to my son’s sixth grade awards ceremony.  (I’m running late as always, and I’m pretty sure he’s used to it.)  For the last twelve years of my life, I’ve been the mommy to a newborn, infant, toddler, preschooler, and even elementary schooler.  But I can hardly believe that after next week my baby (ahem . . ) will be an all-grown-up middle schooler.

On top of that, his baby sister (who really is a baby, really!!!) will be heading off to kindergarten the very same day that he starts middle school this August. (Is that even allowed?  I think all mommas should be exempt from doing both on the same day!)  I’m sad. . . I’m busy . . . and I’m a little too overwhelmed with all of it to even keep up.

I’m heading out the door though, so here I go (can’t you tell I’m walking???) Peek in on your little ones if they’re peacefully napping in your home right now, give a hug to your preschooler if they’re pulling on your leg while you try to get in a little reading, and say a prayer for your older child if they’re off in school at the moment too. It really goes too fast, doesn’t it?  Yup . . .walking out the door now (sniff…sniff…)

Right now you can create customized mommy cards, labels, note cards and more from Vistaprint!  They’ve got all of their super cute designs priced at just $2, plus shipping.

If you choose to order several different options (by clicking back through this link after you’ve designed your first order), you’ll reduce your shipping costs on your total order.  My niece received a gift for graduation with the  super cute Vistaprint note card above, and I was so impressed with the quality of the Vistaprint products (and we all raved about how cute they were!) Head on over HERE to create yours while this offer is available.

Yesterday my daughter and I purchased our first pairs of Yellow Box Flip Flops, and I think I’m in love!  When I mentioned it last night on the PPP Facebook page (and asked for a few price checks), it dawned on me that Amazon might just carry them . . . and guess what, they do!  While their pricing varies quite a bit by style, here were  a few that I thought were a great price:

(Note that the prices will vary depending on the size that you’re looking for, but I found quite a few deals in the sizes we need at our house!)

Women’s Sizes

• Yellow Box Women’s Cali Flip Flop $18.09
• Yellow Box Women’s Beverly Flip Flop $20 – $28
• Yellow Box Women’s Melinda Flip Flop $20 – $28
• Yellow Box Women’s Chamomile Flip Flop $22 – $38
• Yellow Box Women’s Fold Flip Flop $17 – $28

Kids Sizes

• Yellow Box Simba 2 Flip Flop (Little Kid/Big Kid) $10 – $19
• Yellow Box Hydra 2 Flip Flop (Little Kid/Big Kid) $14 – $19

I’m pretty good at grocery couponing, but not quite as good at retail couponing (there aren’t enough hours in the day!), so if you’ve found a better deal on these, please leave a comment to share!
