I know it is not WINSday, but I won a couple of things this week, that I was SOOOO excited about that I had to tell you about them!!

First, I won a Posh Lily $25 Gift Card from Because Cheaper is Better. Oh my gosh-have any of you checked out Posh Lily?! There are SUPER cute little girl items there and I am a sucker for those cute homemade items!

Want to know what I chose to spend my $25 on?! I chose the Olivia Combo, the Beautiful and Elegant Sky Blue Rhinestone Flower Hair Tie and the Gorgeous and FUN Butterfly Clippie. See the Olivia collection below:

Another giveaway I won this morning made me totally freak out (in a good way)! WHen I entered it last night I said to my husband, "Well, I promise I will not win this one because I really, REALLY want it!" Imagine my excitement this morning when I checked my email to find I HAD won the Tillen Farms VIP Sampler from Learning to be Thrifty.

Can I say that when we lived in Spokane, Washington I fell madly in love with all the family farms and fresh foods! I so miss and adore going and grabbing fresh yummy produce so easily there! Not that we cannot get fresh foods here in Omaha, but there are just not that many farms that sell their foods directly (and really what I get to buy here is corn and pumpkins...)

Anyway, Tillen Farms "works closely with select farmers in Washington State’s agriculturally rich Yakima Valley where the unique climate produces world class fruits and veggies". They clean, trim, steam and rapidyl chill the produce then can them and send them out to us! I am seriously SOOO excited to get this.

Check out the VIP Sampler I will be getting:

Now is your mouth watering as much as mine?!

BTW...I am now up to 27 wins since 1/16/11. 

I am sure this week will be a low week though because I have not entered any new giveaways today and I will not be on the computer again today (well probably not as my husband is on call and will likely need exclusive access to the computer when he returns from the hospital).

First, Thank you so much Kelly for sponsoring this great giveaway! Please make sure to contact her if you want to order any Thirty One Gifts items!!

I used Random.org to generate a winner in the Thirty One Gifts Thermal Totes giveaway. I had 151 entries and Random.org chose entry #144 which was nantz24 (April).

So, I know it is hard to read this, but for a limited time, Monday-Friday from 11 am until (well...I cannot remember how late-I will look next time I drive by), lunch entrees are BOGO (Buy One Get One Free)!

I love this place and how nice is it when you can get one meal free...I think my husband and I will have to take advantage of this while he is off in the mornings this week!

Can't quite see what it all is? Let me tell you.

And to make it even better, there was only ONE bill in there. AND we got 2 FREE coupons from Walmart (Chef Boyardee Ravioli & Egg Beaters) AND we got the letter that our daughter got into the preschool we wanted for next year, and I got invited to a little party (which NEVER happens!!)! Phew! I cannot help but suspect that today's mail is going to be a let down no matter what...

Well, You know it is a good shopping trip when the checker comments that you did really well at the end of the transaction!! And I really made out at Walmart yesterday!!! I did not take a picture of everything before I unloaded the bags sadly, so I will have to just tell you about it. The gist of it is that I got items that before price matching and coupons would have cost me $159.21 plus tax, but after coupons and price matching, it cost me $47.67 plus tax. Friends, that is a Savings of $111.54.

I won't give you the detailed run down (unless you want it), but here is what I bought:

• 4 matching Kids Turtlenecks
• 1 Hannah Montana Skirt
• 2 pairs of Girls Pants
• 2 Nice Button Up Girls shirts
• Duck Tape
• a replacement Headlight (this was the killer item...it was $10 on its own with NO discounts of any sort...ouch)
• 1 box Hard Taco Shells
• 3 Loaves of Bread
• 2 Dozen Large Eggs
• 3 8 oz bags of shredded cheese
• A 3 lb roll of Ground Chuck

• Herbal Essences Shampoo & Conditioner
• 1 HUGE can of Mini Ravioli
• Egg Beaters
• a HUGE bag (40 Fish Filet bag) or Gortons Fish
• Planters Almonds
• Doritos

WOW! I felt good, and it made me feel even better when the checker comment about how well I did at the end!!

Well, Since I mentioned a BOGO lunch on Omaha, I thought I would let your SLC readers know that you can get a BOGO Pei Wei coupon for Korean bbq when you like them on Facebook!!

Thanks MySLCMommy.

As I mentioned before, I LOVE to read (in all my spare time LOL). And now I will get to read and review books for free thanks to Book Sneeze. If you are a blogger that would like to read and review books they send you for free, you should go to their site and sign up. It only took me a day to get approved and I got my first book, Couples Who Pray, very quickly.

I have started reading it finally this week, adn so far it is interesting. I find I am coming from a very different perspective than the couples in the book. I grew up always being told to pray together as families and couples so we always have. This book is about couples adding praying together to their marriages. So far I would say the main downfall of the book for me is that the couples they chose to focus on are all either famous or semi famous. THere is not really a "normal joe" amoung them. But that aside, I am excited to read about how Praying together made a difference for these couples! SHoudl be an interesting wuick read and I will do a full review when I finish!

You can Read what it is about here.

FYI, it appears the books here are all faith based in some way. Just so you know before you sign up!

Here is a GROWN UP freebie...YOu can get a free sample of Play™ lubricants from Durex. Just go here to request your sample.

Thanks Freebie Fever.

I thought since today was a "Winsday," I would give you all an update on my little winning experiment. (You can see the explanation of my experiment/idea to keep track of my "wins" in the last "WINSday" post here).

I started keeping track of my wins on the blog on 1/16/11 and so far I have won 22 giveaways.

My little E Dawg got a Valentine with a free Krispy Kreme donut on it. While we were in there, we noticed this sign:

NICE! If you cannot see the pic, it says that kids get a free Krispy Kreme donut if they bring in their report cards! (You can also bring in your report card to SkateDaze locally to get free skating passes)

Here is a fun lunch deal going on here in Omaha at the La Mesa restaurant:
So, I know it is hard to read this, but for a limited time, Monday-Friday from 11 am until (well...I cannot remember how late-I will look next time I drive by), lunch entrees are BOGO (Buy One Get One Free)!

I love this place and how nice is it when you can get one meal free...I think my husband and I will have to take advantage of this while he is off in the mornings this week!
