I used Random.org to pick the winner. Just put in how many comments there were and it ordered it randomly. Winner is................
I have been tagged by JANE4girls. Now I have to tell 7 random things about myself and tag 7 other people.
1. My stockpile closet is my one of my walkins in my bedroom (we have 2).
2. I have 3 turtles and 3 chickens.
3. CVS gets on my nerves sometimes so I rarely go.
4. At Safeway 5 checkers and 2 managers know me by my first name.
5. I scare away a lot of people that I try to convert to couponing when I tell them how many papers to buy. LOL
6. My dad has been kicked out of 2 Kroger stores for "using too many coupons" and getting too good a deal. LOL (so funny)
7. I drive a orange minivan.
Ok, maybe not too silly and random but that is the best I can do. I don't like talking about myself. LOL
Now I have to tag 7 other blogs....
1. Frugal Makes Cents (another couponer in my state)
2. "Cents"able Mamma (she is great at making senerios)
3. Money Saving Methods (has the inside scoop on deals that are not grocery related)
4. $5 Dinners
5. Thrifty Mamma Ramblings (shopping excursions like me)
6. The Centsable Sawyer (love this one)
7. I am a Money Magnet (shopping trips)

I need help finding the shower soothers. I love these and so does DH but we cant find them at any WAG.
About a year ago I got a little sample of Kiss Me Mascara that uses tube technology. It is wonderful. It goes on well and does not smudge or come off. It takes a little warm water and a little pressure to slide the tubes off your lashes. It makes your lashes very long and lush looking. I just bought the Loreal Paris Double Extend (beauty tubes technology) at CVS this week. It is on sale for $9.99 and $2.00 back in ECB. After using the Kiss Me I was very disappointed with the Loreal. I do like the idea of the nourishing end of the tube but it went on thick and goopy. The applicators on the Loreal are very bushy
and do not extend out very far from the end that you hold. It was very awkward to use. You can see from the picture (sorry for the quality) how short it is. I think that I am going to stick to my Kiss Me mascara. Even though it is more then 2 times the price. It is worth it to me.
You can find it Here!
or if you don't mind the awkwardness you can get the less expensive version at CVS this week for $9.99 - $2.00 ECB= $7.99 (even better if you have a coupon).
I forgot to add that Kiss Me mascara is the best mascara I have ever had!
Do you want to try a Kiss Me mascara. I will give one away to someone that comments on this post. Please remember to leave your email, have your profile enabled or just leave a comment and email me your email addy ( mamma.liz@gmail.com). Drawing ends on Friday 10/24/08 at 6pm PST

.50/1= Money off / Product requirement. (.50/1 is $0.50 off 1 product . .50/2 is $0.50 off 2 products.
Frys and Safeway double my coupons up to $1.00. So if I have a .35c coupon it would take off .70c. Or if I have .75c coupon it will take off 1.00.
In all my posts I use 1 coupon per product unless stated otherwise. So it will look like this.
8- Green Giant Veggies @ 1.00 - .25/1 = $4.00
~Means~
I bought 8 green giant veggies that were 1.00 each. I used 4: 50/2 coupons taking off 4.00 giving me a total for all 4 equaling $4.00.
If I only had 3 coupons it would look like this.
