Wonderful Trip to Lake Michigan !

We went to South Haven Michigan for vacation.
Lake Michigan is so beautiful . The water can be
very cold but it was nice when we went (late August).

Hotel:

I used Priceline for the first this trip. I did alot
of research on prices and places but to be honest
it was overwhelming! I bid too low at first trying
$50 and then , being tired of looking, I increased
my bid to $70.  I ended up with 4 night for just
under $300 (after taxes).

Food:

Breakfast -

free at the hotel :)

Lunch  -

Deli fresh sandwiches , lunchables &

chips , fruit ..typical lunch box items

Dinner -

Hotel had a fridge & microwave.           

We ate in at least 2 nights having

Brats, pizza rolls , eggrolls (me)

We ate at Applebees on kids eat free night .

We had pizza at a local parlor , yum!

Entertainment :

                This is were we splurged !

                 1 1/2 hour cruise  http://saugatuckboatcruises.com/
                 Dune ride  http://www.saugatuckduneride.com/
                 Duck ride  http://www.harborducks.com/

                 Free or almost free (parking)

                  beach
                  park
                  Hotel pool and hot tub

Gas and Turnpike Fees :

gas-
$50-$75
(not sure because my tank was full b4 we left)

Tolls-
about $12 there ..took scenic route back home


In the end I spent a rough total of about $800.
I traveled alone with my kids (hubby has a new job)
We extended the trip and visited my bother in
Canton, MI. He just had a baby so I really enjoyed
this part of the trip!
Our trip was 6 days long (not a full week , my
son had school orientation so we had to leave
on Monday morning).

I splurged on entertainment and it was worth it.
The duck ride starts as a land tour and then a water 
tour. It brings up its wheels and then floats. How
cool is that ?? The Dune ride was a blast. It was like
a rollercoaster without a track......Awesome !
The boat ride was just absolutely gorgeous !!      

This trip was all about the kids . I did whatever they 
wanted. Honestly they would have been happy in the 
Hotel pool though , lol.          
                
                 

Interesting Walmart Tidbit

I was looking on the Walmart website and noticed the shower
curtain I just bought was $4 cheaper online. I called Walmart
to see what to do and they said they do not price match their
online store ....ok ?  She said that Walmart prices are always
cheaper online. She also told me it is better to buy online and
have it shipped to the store (free shipping to store). Hum??

Pancake coupon still available here . $3.28 at Walmart.

$2,28 after coupon (24 in bag)

Nice Find at Walmart !

I had (2) $4 off coupons for the Fusion Proglide razor. I went to Walmart and was disappointed because the razor was priced at $9.99. I didn't think it was much off a bargain to pay $6. Then I remember reading that some of the sets were clearanced priced.  I took the gift set to the scanner to price check. I was surprised that it was $6 because it was clearly not marked on sale ! So be on the look out for these. It's a nice value at $2. It includes body wash , deodorant, Proglide razor, and cooling lotion.

Not sure if this a local deal but you may want to price check this set. The coupon was from the

August P&G and expires 8/31.

The coupon fairy left a $4 coupon . That is how I ended up getting 3 sets !

Isn't this purse so cute?

Can you guess what its made of?

Duct tape !  

These are made by a local group of girls . The girls started

making and selling crafts in effort to raise money to help

local animal shelters .

See how you can get your own "one of a kind" purse or how

2 travel size Purex 3 in 1 

________________________

.05 after coupons !!!!!

If you haven't heard,

Walmart has a new coupon policy out. You will now receive the

full value of your coupon . What this means to you is that

you will get to spend the overage on other items or actually

get money back ( I think) .

That being said here is what happened when I had overage:

I had a $3 off coupon for the Purex. The travel size was .97.

The cashier had to push the coupon through . I was in fear

that I would be scolded for trying to use the coupon on a

travel size. Lucky for me she didn't look or maybe care :)

Others have reported using this coupon successfully but YMMV!

Also , I had an overage of $1.28. The register alerted the
cashier to call the manager. This made me really nervous.
Yes, I was chicken to test the new coupon policy. I was in
no mood to have to battle this out if need be. Soooo , I
grabbed some Mentos and avoided the dreaded manager.
I know I know ....I'm a chicken ..lol !
