The Summer Review

After using Time4Learning for a month, I have mixed reviews.  My 2^nd grader who enjoys school, but still needs help with reading loved the program.  She would ask to get on line to work and had to be told to get off to go to bed.  My 5^th grader who enjoys video games, but hates anything related to school or learning, not so motivated.  It was fun for him at first, so I was hopeful, but quickly became a battle.  I like that I can track what and how they are doing.  We will continue for the summer.

The Challenge of Keeping Kids Brains Active During the Summer

I've been invited to try Time4Learning's online curriculum in exchange for an honest review. My opinion will be entirely my own, so come back and read about my experience! Learn how to use it for homeschool, as an afterschool study program or for summer learning.

CVS & Walmart - 11/10

Can anyone say CLEAN HANDS? Look at all these FUN goodies :) You wont believe the massive amount of savings.. Just scroll down.. 

CVS has Arm & Hammer on sale for $2.99, get $1.00 in ECB which is just like a dollar off coupon, except you can use it on any item! This broke down to $1.99. I used my CVS gift card I received from last time (previous post has details) and got this for FREE!! It has 32 loads & is for sensitive skin, extra 7 loads for the same price.. YAHOO! I originally went in for the softsoap deal, but they were out!!

Walmart price matches, which I love! They have a bigger variety & bigger quantities! I like to go to the store that has the sale going BUT if they have cleared shelves, I just head to Walmart & usually they have the item in stock :) 

Here is the break down of the rest of the picture. This was at Walmart, you can do this until Saturday at 11:59 pm. 

CVS has Softsoap 8.5 - 9.5 oz bottles of hand soap on sale for 99 cent! Yes, you heard that right, 99 cent!! These were $2.12 each at Walmart, but they price matched my CVS deal, so they were 99 cent a bottle.

Scope was $2.97, we needed it anyway :)

Old Spice Body Wash (Trial Size) - 97 cent

Head & Shoulders (Trial Size) - 97 cent

The BREAKDOWN!!

* 24 bottles of hand soap. I did 2 different transactions since you can only use 4 like coupons per transaction. 

So I used 8 x $2.00 off any 2 Softsoap 8 oz or larger,

8 x 75 cent off Softsoap 8 oz or larger,

1 x 75 cent off Scope 750ml or larger, 

1 x $1.00 off Old Spice Body Wash

1 x $1.00 off Head & Shoulders

Totals:

Before Coupons/ECB = $58.78

After Coupons/ECB/Gift Card = $3.00

Savings of 95%

This was my most exciting trip yet!!
