We were affected! I was super sad that the glassware we bought from Macs were recalled 🙁 I really like them – we paid US$1.99 for it when we buy a Mac meal. Returned the glasses to Macs and received US$3 each. Erm.. we earned US$2 for returning the glassware. We used the $ to pay for Imax Toy Story3 movie, which we are watching this Friday! haha.. date night!
A picture to rem the glasses:
If you have been reading my blog, you’ll know that I’ve been couponing alot 🙂 I take time to do research to make sure I get the best deals – saving money on groceries is my top most priorty… so… It was a random day that I visited my fave coupon website
I really like the site because this lady Christy is located in the same state as I am, so we kinda share the same deals… I participated in her giveaway just for fun… and i WON!!!!
I was able to choose from these prizes –
1) Flip Video (white, pink, black or yellow)
2) iPod Nano (black, blue, purple, silver, pink, orange or green)
3) $100 Amazon Gift Card
and I chose 3) $100 Amazon Gift Card
heh… now I can buy my blender and food processor!! I think I can smell my pandan cake in a distance 😀
Thank you Christy, ThriftyandThriving and random.org ( haha… for picking my no. )
A VERY HAPPY GIRL!!! Flooded with Happiness!!!
BH had a 4 day long weekend!!! The perfect weekend started on Thursday evening when BH came home early!!! So we spontaneously went out for dinner then watched Shrek 3. Pure bliss!! 😀
Actually, we could have gone on a roadtrip or something.. but we didn’t.. ( Thankfully not, the weather was very WET) oh well, so we decided that maybe we shld go shopping? hahaha.. it was a super duper rainy long weekend 🙁 I mean.. I love my new PINK VS brolly… rain makes going out very very sianz
Friday: Here’s me – feeling happy coz I got to use my brolly.
There’s a newly opened Lacoste outlet! WOW! BH bought 2 polo tees while I bought 1 – It’s our very first Lacoste 🙂
Saturday: because it’s still rainy… we decided that we will bake a cake
Sunshine Chiffon cake, which didn’t taste as good as we expected. The rubbish bin ate it in the end
To perk me up – this came in the mail! haha.. free sample not for me but for BH!
Ended the night with FREE DVD rental of Sherlock Holm – Love freebies!
Sunday: Still raining… So it’s DIY home improvement day!
Changed our New York decal to this cheesy quote.. hahaha.. but this decal is of good quality…took us a long time to paste it on the wall .. it looks painted doesn’t it?
Made our own canvas using fabric and wood bought from Ikea ( a few weeks ago) – Looks nice??
It was still raining… so I cooked Nasi Lemak, which was a disaster 🙁 The rice was too wet (like the weather) and milky. Eeks! BH ate it anyway. However, the sambal seafood curry saved the day! Wish my mum was here man!
Monday: Still raining but decided that we shld still go out
So… we went out for lunch, took a walk at the mall and I saw MR Q 😀
Surprisingly, after I bought Mr Q , it was sunny and the weather cleared!! hahaha… shld have bought him earlier!!!
We also went to the Folklife Festival ( we call it ‘Pasar Malam’) near our home. Very crowded.. lots of yummy and poisonous food. To think of it, it’s the 2nd time we went. ahhh… time flies… I hope it’s not my last
———–
A great weekend with lots of quality time spent with BH 🙂 *meow*
Say ‘Hi!!’ to MR Q , my new boyfriend 🙂

Why red? haha.. I don’t have a red bag? The other colours available on sale are Wave ( Green) , Yellow, Magenta
Anyway, I was waiting for this bag to go on sale and FINALLY!!! It did… haven’t bought something which I really love for soooooo long… I’m soooooooo happy!! 🙂
Now I need new clothes, new shoes to go with my new bag.. hahaha.. feels like X’mas already!!! hehehe
Was feeling kinda down today , so I’ve decided to go down to Walgreens for a walk..
Came home with these
V05 conditioner/shampoo was advertised on walgreens papers for $0.69 BUT it was on clearance at my store, so it rang up as $0.39!
Here’s what I bought
2 Vo5 conditioner 2*$0.39 ( Perfect filler)
1 U-Kotex pads $3.49
1 Luster toothpaste $5
Used RR $2 + $2
Used MQ $1 for Kotex
Total paid: $5.15
Received RR/Q: $2.50 ( from Kotex) + $5 ( From Luster) + Free pads from always!
Amt earned: $2.35 + FREE 18 ct pads
Felt happy at that instant ( esp. when the printer kept printing coupons and didn’t stop! hahaha)
Here’s the loots worth at least $50…. guess how much we paid ? 😀
Bought the above in 3 transactions

Note: I miscalculated. The no. of coupons I used for transaction 2 was MORE than the items I have. In order to use the RR, I need 2 more fillers ( no choice bought mentos – nearest to me). I should have used a cheaper filler like Hunt’s Tomato sauce@$0.25.

I had been doing research for the past few days.. and figured out these are great deals!
#1 LISTERINE
3 Bottles of 1L listerine (Regular price $4.99 for 1 bottle)
WAG Coupon : 3 for $6.99
M Coupons: 3 X $1
Total paid: $3.99 + tax
I nearly had difficulties with the cashier for this deal above – The cash register started beeping ( normal if u are using too many coupons). She was saying that there’s a limit of 1 coupon per transaction. I was like I did this before and I have no problems. So she went ‘whatever’ and keyed in the discount! hmmm… weird… I see that she’s a trainee. So, in my mind I was planning to say ‘I want to talk to your manager’ hehe.. luckily, she gave in to me.
#2 Glade motion sensor spray
Glade Sense & Spray air freshener (Regular price: $9.99)
Clearance at WAG: $5.99
M coupon: $4
Total paid: $1.99 + tax
I’m a happy girl at WAGs today! 😀
