Let’s all take a minute to be thankful for coupons! I hope the tricks of waiting until items are on sale and stacking on coupons has made your upcoming holiday meals less stressful and gives you more time to just enjoy this season with your family.
This week, I am hoping for you all to share a traditional Thanksgiving recipe, your family’s favorite dish or what you are bringing to the big dinner this year. We are taking a break from counting points this week and just sharing some recipes that make it Thanksgiving!

The following is part of an ORGANIC JOURNEY GUEST POST SERIES, written by Amy a long time helper behind the scenes of Southern Savers.
I have dreaded doing research on dairy for many reasons. One, it is ridiculously controversial with opinions ranging from all dairy is evil to eat anything you want. The kicker is that there doesn’t seem to be a clear consensus of opinion (I like things black and white!) Two, to make changes in this area is super expensive, especially if you consume as much dairy as my family does. Finally, there is just so much stinkin’ lingo in the dairy world. Pastured and pasteurized, organic and raw, it’s a whole new language to learn. As much as I hestitate to dive in, it is the next logical baby step for my family. So here we go! Read More→
Some HUGE news coming from Walmart recently regarding layaway and Black Friday. Here’s the gist of it:
- Items on layaway that are paid off on Black Friday will be sold at Black Friday pricing.
- You may use coupons on layaway Black Friday items.
- You can price match other stores Black Friday ads (even on layaway items paid off on Black Friday).
- Walmart will begin online Black Friday deals early on Thursday.
This policy has some significant money saving implications. You see a Blu-ray player or TV on sale at Best Buy, put it on layaway at Walmart prior to Black Friday (note that it will be the regular price, but will be sold at the sale price on Black Friday). Then, on Black Friday, bring the Best Buy ad and you’ll be able to get those products at the Best Buy Black Friday ad price. Crazy!
This news was such a shocker to me that I was completely skeptical. I called several of my local Walmarts to see if they were really ready to honor this at the store level.
Of the four local stores I called, one was a resounding yes, two were maybes, and one was no. Granted, these stores may not have been told by corporate yet, but I strongly suggest you call your local store to ensure that they are on board before you go through a bunch of effort to layaway everything in sight.
Do not assume that you will be able to convince the manager amidst the hectic activity of Black Friday. Save yourself a ton of frustration and stress by calling and making sure your store is participating. Also keep in mind that their layaway policy clearly states that they will have limited hours on November 23rd.
Honestly, it may be better to just grab what you want and head to a regular register for price matching other stores deals, than trying to go the layaway route. I am imagining the layaway line being longer than the regular checkouts!
But… if your store is participating, this means that you can score some serious deals. Theoretically, all of your shopping can be done at Walmart and you can ensure that you’ll get the products you want if you put it on layaway prior to Black Friday.
The cost to open a layaway account is $5 and you’ll need a $10 or 10% downpayment. You’ll get the $5 back on a gift card when you pay for your item in full. It includes toys, electronics, small appliances, floor care, refrigerators, jewelry and select sporting goods.
Leave a comment if your store is participating or not.
(Thanks IHeartTheMart)

I’ve never been a mom to tell my kids what to wear. Not only do I like not having to deal with picking out clothes, I enjoy letting them be creative. While I may not have a say all the time in what is the outfit of the day, I still make the final decision in what outfits we buy! I like quality clothes that are versatile and can go with many things in their closet. While I may buy something as an outfit, they will pair it with pretty much everything they own, so it has to be something that “plays well with others”. I also like a deal…
That’s what I love about FabKids, a clothing website started by parents including actress Christina Applegate. They have great clothes that have a goal of helping girls express their individuality through personalized fashions. They also have a deal: right now you get your first outfit for $25 shipped.
This is how it works:
1. After you sign up, create a style profile which is just a quick and free quiz so they can get to know the girl you’re buying for.
2. Shop your outfit picks, which refresh each month. Every outfit includes 3 pieces for $39.99 and you can either buy it or skip the month. (Your first outfit is currently $25, there is no obligation to buy any other outfits).
3. Receive your outfit with free shipping (and free returns) within a week!
I got signed up to try it out, and my 4 year old had a blast with the “style quiz”. It is very visual, so she sat there pointing to each item in the list she loved. In the end they completely had her figured out! I picked out this ballerina outfit for my one child who can be found wearing a tutu any day of the week (she even tries to wear one over pjs at night). The outfit included the dress, tights and bow for $25 and included a free shirt when I checked out!
The only thing is that you can’t mix and match the pieces that come in the deal. While the outfit is great, I would have preferred pink tights (or she would have should I say). In the end she will wear the black tights, just maybe not with this dress as they have planned.
Our outfit shipped the day we ordered it and arrived within 3 days! I couldn’t be happier with the shipping, especially that they have free shipping.
If you have more that one little girl to buy for (like me with 4 girls in the house now), you can even add more of your girls’ style profiles to buy for! Just head to the top left corner of the screen and there’s a drop-down box that says to “add a girl”.
The Giveaway:
FabKids is giving 5 winners a 3-piece outfit.
