I just found out that tomorrow at 1:00pm (not sure of time zone) Nickelodeon will be broadcasting Barbie & the Diamond Castle! For you Moms with Barbie lovers this is a great freebie since you can record instead of paying about $20 to buy the DVD, that is if it’s commercial free. Enjoy!

Here are the deals that caught my eye as the best for your money, bear in mind there may be deals I missed and prices can vary depending on region. Hope you all enjoy them!

Okay I’m new at all these great little add-on widgets and plugins so bear with me my friends while I still learn a few things. Oh but have no fear, I’ll still post while learning the ropes of the blogospere.

I recently was standing in line at my local Dollar Tree scooping up some more of those sturdy Sterlite plastic bins for all my drugstore bargains I get when I couldn’t help eavesdropping on a teen girl and her mother. The conversation went something like this:

Teen: Mom why can’t you just let me wear make-up that regular stores sells, I’m only asking for a few things.
Mom: Have you seen the price of those new lip glosses you want?
Teen: You act like $20 is going to break you for a couple of Covergirl glosses! Geesh Mom all the other girls have them why can’t I?
Mom: Because I can’t justify the price when the dollar store version is just as good if you apply it throughout the day!
Teen: Duh! Mom that costs more than using it once per day for the Covergirl brand! Hello!
Mom: Enough already otherwise you won’t even get the dollar store brand!
