Since I have been so far behind on my blog lately, I decided I best line some reviews and giveaways up to get me back on my feet and keep me motivated! In doing so, I have decided to resurrect Feature Fridays!! Clearly today is not Friday, I am aware of this. But I did not want to wait! So I bring to you my newest fun feature... Happy Times Co.

I recently had the pleasuring of chatting with Emma from Happy Times Co. Here is a little bit about Emma:

"I am a news photographer by trade... and Etsy also allows me to show my fine art photography and graphic design work. I am constantly updating my site. My quotes are meant to inspire and make you smile! I love simple, clean, lines and bold colors. My photography is everything that would never get printed in the paper! It's beautiful, calm, and soothing."

Happy Times Co. is stocked with captivating photography & inspiring quotes. Their slogan is, "Life is too short to be anything but happy." Photography is available in 8 x 10 and 10 x 13 size prints. Quotes are available in the following dimensions: 5 x 5, 8 x 8, and 8 x 10. Quotes are also available in sets. Custom orders are available to meet your needs.

BJ's Review & $25 Gift Card Giveaway

When I received the opportunity for BJ's Saving Solution Package I was so excited! I had never shopped at a BJ's but had always heard great things when it comes to buying in bulk. Unfortunately my extra small apartment does not allow me to stock pile much at this time but I was still able to take part in some other fantastic deals! I am a coupon addict...so what I particular love is that BJ's accepts ALL manufacturer's coupons AND there are also store spefic coupons that you can pick up in store or download online! At my shopping trip (at which time I also used my $25 gift card), I purchased crest toothpaste, progresso soup, toilet paper, eggs, milk, and cheese. Most of which I also used coupons for! I did spend more than my $25 Gift Card, but I was excited and wanted to use the opportunity to stock up on a few extra things!

And now for one of my lucky readers...

BJ's and General Mills has offered a $25 BJ's Giftcard to giveaway on Ashley's Allowance!

Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters Review & Giveaway!

A few weeks ago, MyBlogSpark sent me a Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters "Snack Pack" prize pack that included all four (4) varieties of the Granola Nut Clusters along with a sling backpack, stainless steel water bottle, flashlight and binoculars! The 4 varieties of Granola Nut Clusters included: Nut Lovers, Roasted Almond, Roasted Cashew and Honey Roasted Peanut.

My personal favorite flavor would have to be the Honey Roasted Peanut. Anything peanut/peanut buttery has my vote! But honestly... they really were all delicious!

I really liked how the Granola Nut Clusters packages were resealable. I didn't have to worry about going through one bag at a time so they wouldn't go stale on me. I was able to sample from each bag without waiting to finish a whole flavor before moving onto the next!

I highly recommend Granola Nut Clusters!

**GIVEAWAY**
MyBlogSpark has also generously offered to provide one additional prize pack to give away to one of my readers!

Again, this Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters "Snack Pack" prize pack that includes:

Winner!

Please Excuse My Disappearance

What a slacker I am! I know, I know! I said I would be posting again...and then I disappeared! I unfortunately had some car trouble this past week and ended up spending all of my extra energy on focusing on that! Also, I have been working on trying to line up a few extra "side" jobs, so please bear with me. I may break a promise or two here depending on my schedule. Well anyways, let's get back to the blogging.....

CVS

I went to CVS this afternoon after work and picked up a 4 pack of Sharpie Highlighters. I used a $1 off coupon (online coupon-I apologize, I do not recall where I found it!) and the product was on sale for $0.99. So I paid tax only out of pocket for a grand total of $0.07 or 100% savings!

That way my big purchase for the day. Nothing else really caught my eye in this weeks flyer, but who knows, I may stop back in. I do still have a $0.99 ECB that I have yet to use!

Stop & Shop

We actually skipped the food shopping this past week. We had plenty at home to use up and our work schedules have been a bit nutty lately so we haven't been cooking as much. We do plan on doing a Stop & Shop grocery shop later this week, I'm thinking we will last till at least Thursday. I will let you know how I do when I do! If you have already done your weekly shop please do share your sales and good finds!

50 Calorie Fiber One Yogurt: Coupon

MyBlogSpark has offered a coupon to share with you for $1.00 off new 50 calorie Fiber One yogurt. Be sure to print your coupon while it is still available!

Don't miss out on my post below for more Fiber One coupons!

Some Coupons and Samples For You!

Just wanted to share a few samples and coupons with you! You will find the links below. I'll be back to post some more tomorrow... including a new giveaway! So be sure to check back!

Another Visit to CVS This Week

My CVS Trip: How I saved 94%

This morning I hit up my local CVS to take part in the 3 day sale. I didn't really make out as well as I should have...many of the 3 day sale items were already sold out so I just got what I could and worked around it. I still did pretty good though. Here is what I got in 6 transactions:

Transaction 1:
(1) CVS Tampons (10 ct) $1.89 + get $1.89 in ECB
-$1.00 ECB from previous CVS trip
=$0.95 OOP (including tax)

Transaction 2:
(1) 4 oz. Colgate Advanced toothpaste $2.88 + get $2.00 in ECB
-$1.00 Manufactures Coupon
-$1.89 ECB from Transaction 1

-$1.00 ECB from Transaction 5
-$5.00 ECB from previous CVS trip
=$0.42 OOP (including tax)

In total I spent only $1.99 (including tax)

All in all, I would have spent about $31.40 all together If I used sales only (no ECB or coupons).
So I saved $29.41 OR about 94%

And, I still have $1.00 ECB to save for next week!

Ashley's Allowance Makeover Madness

I am looking to revamp Living on Ashley's Allowance! I am looking to create a more user friendly, more organized blog. I am not all to computer savvy, so I am turning to you for help! For instance, I would love to create a relevant banner for Living on Ashley's Allowance (to include my button). I would also love to have tabs at the top or side of my page to redirect traffic, questions, and information in a more organized manner. I feel like a lot of valuable space is being wasted with the template I have now.

Can you, or someone you know- help me out? Any little bit of information would be ever so greatly appreciated! In fact, in return I would be happy to advertise, promote, or feature you (your blog or company) here on Living on Ashley's Allowance. In some circumstances, it would also be my pleasure to advertise you (your blog or company) on my blog with a LIFETIME advertisement!

I would also consider paying the right person for there time and efforts.

Interested in the slightest?

Please leave me a comment here or email me at ashleysallowance@gmail.com and I will get in touch with you as soon as possible! Thanks!
