Free Groceries at Wegman's

Today I had to take Ryan to the Dr for an ear ache, and on the counter at Dr. Michele's office was a little card that you could take to Wegman's and with each prescription filled or transfered, you get a coupon for $20 of free groceries! Between now and the end of November 2009 you too can get free groceries, up to $200 (that's 10 prescriptions)! (You know I got myself so Diet Dr. Pepper with my free $20!)

Library Drop Box

Gina asked me to post this for her some time ago... Sorry, Gina, I forgot. Heather, can you add her to the poster list?

Did you know there is a library drop box in the parking lot of the Good Year at the Virginia Gateway?? Totally helped me out yesterday. They just ask that if you are returning media to put them in a plastic bag.

Centreville BK

I don't know if any of you have been to the Burger King in Centreville recently with the two story play area, but I was there yesterday and the upstairs has gotten a big face lift! I was pleasantly suprised to see that they have taken out all of the old tables and put in couches and bar stools and made it much more like a coffe shop. In fact, there were two business men working on their laptops when we got there. Just thought I would pass it on, it was really nice!

Free Dr. Pepper!

 I love diet DP so much that I had to share this little tid-bit I read online!

Dr Pepper to deliver on its free-soda promise

LOS ANGELES — Dr Pepper is making good on its promise of free soda now that the release of Guns N' Roses' "Chinese Democracy" is a reality.

The soft-drink maker said in March that it would give a free soda to everyone in America if the album dropped in 2008. "Chinese Democracy," infamously delayed since recording began in 1994, goes on sale Sunday.

"We never thought this day would come," Tony Jacobs, Dr Pepper's vice president of marketing, said in a statement. "But now that it's here, all we can say is: The Dr Pepper's on us."

Beginning Sunday at 12:01 a.m., coupons for a free 20-ounce soda will be available for 24 hours on Dr Pepper's Web site. They'll be honored until Feb. 28.

Dr Pepper is owned by Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc.

Election day freebies

Chik- fil -A will give out a free chicken sandwich to voters today!  Starbucks will also give a free tall coffee for voters as well.  But, I was upset when I drove there and they don't substitute...no ciders or hot chocolate.  Bummer.  

Halloween Candy Overload?

Last week when Natalie was at the dentist, they told us that if we had too much Halloween candy after trick-or-treating you can bring it to their office and they will pay the kids $1/pound and the office will be sending the candy to our troops. What a nice idea!
The office is Gainesville Pediatric Dentistry on the corner of Wellington and Limestone (behind Lowes).

Coupon Codes

I'm sure most of you do a quick google search for coupon codes before buying something online, but what if you don't find one? I have figured out that you can buy someone elses coupon code on ebay. I've used this for Gymboree and just today for Crazy 8. I bought a 20% coupon code for $1.50 and saved $16 off my purchase. This is for those one time codes that they sometimes send in the mail along with an in store coupon. Remember this the next time you shop!

Michaels

With all the competitors coupons you can use at Michaels (they take AC Moore and JoAnne's) I always go in there with nothing less than 2 coupons to use at any time.  However, my frenzy was put to a hault today when she wouldn't let me use an AC Moore "25% off total purchase, regular and sales prices" coupon.  They'll only take competitors single purchase coupons, i.e. 40% off one item, 50% off one item, etc.  They won't take competitors % off total price coupons.  Just FYI for you craft junkies like me.

Bye bye

Okay, Linens N Things is going out of business. I think that they whole chain is stores is going and not just the one by Target. Right now everything is 10-30% off, so just keep your eyes open for when the real deals happen!

Pre-Christmas Shopping

I'm trying to spread out the spending frenzy that usually takes place in December this year.  

If any of you will be buying video games this holiday season, there is a great sale at Toys R Us right now.  Buy 2 get one free!  That's any combination of games for any game systems (PSP's, Gameboys, Wii, XBOX, and whatever I'm forgetting).  Sale goes through Saturday, but there are some limited quantities and no rain checks.

Gainesville/Haymarket--Growing Up

My neighbor just sent me an email listing all of the stores coming soon the the Gainesville area.

All these stores are all confirmed and being built or are about to open:

J.Jill
Ann Taylor Loft
Talbots
Starbucks-Drive Through
Bath and Body Works
Gymboree
The Children’s Place
Limited Too
Trader Joes

Chick Fila
Walgreens
Chili’s
Pei Wei
Regal Cinema
Belk

Home Depot

AND, a 1M SQFT shopping mall like Reston Town Center with all kinds of stuff right at Catharpin and RT 55. SO basically all the land on the right hand side of Catharpin to 66 and past the Methodist church will be shopping, hotels, fitness center and another movie theater…2 more department stores and high end restaurants (2 supposed to be Rio Grande and Cheesecake Factory). Construction to begin 2009.

And Wegmans opens Nov 2 at 7AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so excited I am going to pee my pants!

Farmers Market

On the way home today, I was driving down Heathcoate towards Catharpin and stopped at a little Farmers Market!  It's every Thursday from 3-7pm at that retirement apartment complex called The Marque.  The market is in their parking lot.  The apts are on the right before you get to Heritage Hunt.  The market had baked goods, honey, soaps, and tons of veggies.  It was really fun!  They said they'd do it till end of October.  Ashley loved trying all the little tomatoes.  They also have fun exotic veggies like sugar babies (sweet little watermelons) and other odd things.  Very fun.

Bolt Bus

Okay Ladies, if you like going to New York City, here's your big chance!  The AFFORDABLE way!  I was a little skeptical at first, but I tried it out myself with my kids and Bolt Bus ROCKS!  You get on their website www.boltbus.com and book your bus.  It's a shuttle from downtown DC to Manhattan.  There are other locations as well.  But I must tell you that I was so impressed.  The bus was a huge, brand new.  Leather seats, free wi-fi, and outlets on the back of each seat so you can plug in those DVD players for the kids.  There is a bathroom on the bus and it was very clean, very new.  It took about 4 1/2 hrs to get to Manhattan and the best part is the PRICE.  I paid $60 for 3 of us round trip.  That took care of tolls, gas, everything!  The earlier you book a trip, the cheaper it is.  The tickets start at $1 round trip and go higher the later you book/more demand.  So go to that Broadway show or see the Rockettes!  You can now because it'll cost the same price as a lunch out.  

Spread the love...

I know this isn't exactly the type of post intended for this blog, but Heather invited me a long time ago and I've never contributed! For what it's worth I thought some of you might be interested in this, already know about it, or be kind enough to pass the info on to others!

Last week Christian and Stephanie Nielson were in a very serious plane crash. They are a young LDS couple with four children under the age of six. They are in critical condition. Stephanie has third degree burns covering 80% of her body and Christian has third degree burns over 30% of his body. The recovery will be very long and very expensive.

If you are able, please consider contributing to this fund that will go directly to the family. http://www.nierecovery.com/

This weekend, several websites are auctioning off items for their benefit. Go here to see the comprehensive list: http://www.designmom.com/. There are some great things out there all helping a wonderful cause! (designmom is also an awesome, awesome blog that you should be checking daily anyway! :) )

Thanks guys!

Remember for Next Year....

Half Moon Beach is a cool place if you are like my family and don't mind swimming in mucky water. The sand is awesome there w/ sand volleyball and row boats too. You should check it out... it's in Strasburg only about 40 mins from Gainesville/ Haymarket.

Half Moon Beach website

Oh and it's named half moon beach because the water is shaped like a half moon :) ha. We wondered.

They have a huge outdoor paintball set up there too.

Toddlin' Time

Toddlin' Time is opening a new location in Old Town Warrenton and starting registration for their first 6-week session.  (They also have a location in Manassas next door to Stonewall Jackson High School.)  The Warrenton location is having a grand re-opening on Saturday, August 23 from 10-2.  They are also having free--free play sessions the week of August 25-29.   The Manassas location is having their open houses on August 27 and September 4.  Check out the websites for times.

I would like to sign Ryan up for one of the Toddle 3 classes (ages 24-36 months).  I would prefer a Tuesday or Wednesday class, but I'd go with someone else at another time!  Let me know.  I would go to the Manassas or Warrenton locations.

I haven't signed up for this myself since we moved... but I just got an email from a friend who says it's really cool so I thought I'd pass this on...

Ladies,

Enjoy,

Kids Night at Chick-fil-a

We went to Chick-fil-a on Saturday night and found out that they now have kids night every Tuesday, which means they get a FREE kids meal with every combo purchased. And Saturdays are Webkinz nights where the kids get a free meal if they bring in a Webkinz. Just thought I'd pass it along, I'm off to buy my kids some Webkinz!

Crazy 8 Jeans Sale!

Last year I bought almost all of Camerons pants and jeans from Crazy 8 and I loved them! They are currently having a $9.99 sale on ALL of their jeans when you buy two or more and I just stocked up. Again, here is their website and shipping is just $5. Just in time for back to school shopping!

Free Chicken Sandwiches at McDonalds Today!

I just heard that today until 4 you can get one of their new Southern Chicken Sandwiches for free with the purchase of a drink. They're supposed to be like the ones at Chick-fil-a.

50% off Kings Dominion

So I was planning a one time trip for the family to go to Kings Dominion (never been there) this friday and came across a coupon code that made the tickets only $27 instead of $54.55!  That's 50% off!!!!  This code is: JDRFDAYS

So go to kingsdominion.com and under the tickets tab, there's a place where you can put a corporate id in a blank spot.  Put the above code there and your tickets will be 50% off.  

Enjoy!

Free Slurpees

Today I heard that all 7-11's are giving out free slurpees because the date is 7-11.  

1 cent prints

Snapfish is running a deal until July 12 where you can get 50 4x6 prints for one penny each. The rest are just 9 cents. The code is JUL4PENNY08. I'm sure you've taken tons of pictures so far and if you're like me, you've haven't printed much. So this is great timing.

long car rides with kids

Just got back from the Pediatric Urologists. The doctor informed me of something that I thought other parents might find interesting. Red food coloring is a diuretic. Red coloring is in purple, pink and sometimes orange food products. Remember that on your next road trip with the family and the kids want a grape Gatorade. The fewer the stops the better for my husband, so I found this information valuable.

Bug Box

I was just searching the internet for activities for Bug Bonanza Day during summer camp and I came across this place---The Bug Box. I haven't been there, but it's in Fredericksburg and we all drive through there on occasion, so it may be worth checking out, if you're into that kind of thing. http://www.bugbox.net/ Only $2 admission!

Summer Reading

It's time to sign your kids of all ages up for the summer reading program at the library! In case you aren't familiar, if you sign up your kid (even babies count) you get a form to fill out with books that you are reading to them/they are reading. Every week, there is a free coupon you get just for showing them the form as well as different rewards for 5, 10 and 25 books (I think). In the past thare have been coupons for a free personal pizza from Pizza Hut, tickets to the fair, and Splashdown Water Park, and lots of buy one get one coupons for restaraunts. You can sign up at any library, but whatever one you sign up at you have to keep going to to get your prizes.

Online surveys for gift certificates

I have been doing these online surveys for about a year now and although the time probably isn't worth the reward, you do get something for doing these surveys. My favorite one is My Survey, because they send me the most and there is also Zoom Panel and E-poll. So far I have only cashed in on my My Survey points and have gotten several Target gift cards, although you can pick what kind of gift card you want or redeem them for prizes.

Haymarket Pediatrics accepting new patients!

I know some of you have been waiting for this. They just hired a new doctor and as of yesterday were accepting new patients. Here's their website. We love Dr Eddie!

House of Bounce

Do you have any young children bouncin' off the walls? Well, I do! Bring them to House of Bounce tomorrow (Monday, June 9) at 10:30. You can sit back and chat with the ladies while the kids work at tiring themselves out. I have a $4 off coupon if anyone would like to use it!

Great Country Farms

This has been a favorite destination of ours for a few years now. It is a great place to pick virtually any fruit or vegetable and they have lots of kids stuff too like a petting farm, homemade slides and swings, mazes, and this big air pillow jumping thing. The drive there is so pretty, but be aware that there is an admission charge even if you are only going to pick produce.

Flying Circus and Hot Air Balloon Festival

My mom went to this festival last year and said it was really neat to watch all of those beautiful hot air balloons go up into the sky. I think we will go this year on August 16. I have also wanted to take advantage of their airplane shows, but it looks like they are always on Sundays.

C & O Canal

This is a great ride to take visitors from out of town or just to do with your family like we did. The mules actually pull the barge on a short trip down the canal and you get to experience them opening and closing the locks that allow the boat to rise or fall. It's full of history too, and the workers are dressed up in period clothing. There is also a long trail/path that is fun for biking or walking.

Fairfax County Summer Entertainment Series in the parks

I've had this site bookmarked for some time now and have never taken advantage of the free concerts and children's shows offered throughout the Fairfax County parks. Several of the shows are at Burke Lake Park which in and of itself it a lot of fun, and most of them seem to be on Saturday mornings. Several of them look like they would be great for adults and kids.

Drive-In Theatre

Did you know that there is a drive-in theatre in Stephens City? It's a bit of a hike, but very fun for the family. We went once before and just opened up the back of our Jeep and ate our popcorn while we watched the shows. There are two screens, usually one with a double feature of kid flicks and one with adult. Jeremy and I parked right inthe middle so that we could watch a kid show and then the kids fell asleep so we could just turn around and watch the adult one. There is also a big playground there for early birds that get there before the movie and a snack stand. Here's the website for anyone interested. Looks like there aren't any kid shows right now, but we will be planning a trip once there is and anyone that wants to come with is more than welcome! We will let you know!

New Emergency Room

I didn't realize that there is a new emergency room (not an urgent care---but a real hospital emergency room) open so close to us until a friend emailed me this clip from a newspaper. Having an Emergency Room so close is fantastic! This is at the corner of I-66 and Route 15, on the Northwest side.

Published: May 29, 2008
A ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday marked the "grand opening" of the new Haymarket Health Center.
The center will officially open for patients on Monday, featuring state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging, a laboratory and rehabilitation services. On July 1, the freestanding Emergency Services department will open, serving patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The center opens with a staff of about 40 employees.
The full-service emergency room will feature nine beds and a two-bed trauma bay. It will allow emergency room specialist to care for a wide range of emergency needs, from sprains to heart attacks.

Hope you never need it---but it will be convient when you do!

My Bottom Dollar

Okay, so this isn't a very fun or glamorous tid-bit, but it is money-saving. I have started trying to do most of my grocery shopping at a store in Manassas called Bottom Dollar. An ad comes once a week in the mail so you can see what their best deals are for the week. It used to be a Food Lion and it's right in the middle of town on Sudley/234. They still carry a lot of Food Lion brand items. It's a normal small grocery store but they don't have a deli or a bakery and they don't have a huge variety of most things, but I think their produce is pretty good and they really have lower prices on everyday items, not always on convience foods though. The things I have noticed a huge savings on are cereal, poptarts, produce, cake mixes, meats, bottles of apple juice, packs of crackers with peanut butter. (Now you know what's in my pantry.) No big savings on things like chips, cheese, and milk. (And by the way, they don't carry buttermilk, although I keep asking them to get it.)

The best deals I've gotten there have been bags of granny smith apples---$1.99, 5 lb bag flour---.29, last week whole seedless watermelon was $2.99 each, and in the fall they had an ad that had a $10 coupon if you spent $25.

And FYI, when you get to the register, they have free boxes to load you stuff into or you have to buy your own plastic bags, .05 each, I get 10 if I have a full cart, and you usually have to bag everything yourself. It's no Wegmans or Harris Teeter!

Two weeks ago, I spent $130 at Harris Teeter with a cart about medium way full. The next week it was under $100 for an overflowing cart at Bottom Dollar. That's what makes me keep going back.

Manassas Railway Festival

ALL ABOARD! It's almost time for the Fourteenth Annual Manassas Railway Festival. It will be held on Saturday, June 7, 2008, from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. in historic Old Town Manassas, Virginia (at all streets surrounding the historic train depot). Admission is free. The festival will be held rain or shine.

Festivities will include VRE excursion rides; a variety of elaborate model railroads; railroad history and memorabilia; living history and folklore; three live bands throughout the day; and children’s rides and activities; and plenty of fabulous food. At 11:30am, 1:30pm, and 3:30pm, the one-man musician and comedian Rick Hubbard and The Kazoobie Kazoo Show will perform on the Kid's Stage. Admission to the Manassas Museum will also be $1.00 for all visitors.

VRE’s excursion rides will be offered every hour on the hour beginning at 10:00 a.m., with the last excursion ride departing at 3:00 p.m. The train consist will be made up entirely of VRE’s new Gallery cars, so if anyone hasn’t had the opportunity to preview the new cars, now’s your chance! The ride, which will run round-trip between Manassas and Clifton and last about 35 minutes, will cost $6 (children under two ride free). Tickets must be purchased at the Manassas Visitor’s Center and the Train Depot (advanced sale tickets are available from May 15 through June 7 at the Train Depot in Manassas, 703-361-6599). Passengers will not be allowed to detrain at Clifton, nor can people board at Clifton; it is strictly a round-trip excursion with passengers boarding and detraining at the Manassas station.

Picnic in the Park

Thank you so much for starting this blog up...and for all the info in it.

I was thinking of starting a Picnic in the Park for the summer--kinda going around to some of these great parks with the kiddos either weekly or twice a month. They could be the ones nearby or further. Anyone takers on that one?

Little Tots Summer Fun at Gainesville's Atlas Walk

Mr. Knick Knack on June 4

Free Bowling

I thought this was a super deal last summer and all of my kids loved it...FREE BOWLING!

http://bowl-america.com/programs.asp

If you have kids that are too young for report cards, don't despair. Did you know the shoes were free for sizes under 1? So if your older kids are getting free games for grades, the younger ones are getting free shoe rentals. It is a win win for everyone.

If only the adults could get some sort of deal!

Parks and Playgrounds

Awesome idea Heather!

I thought I would start a list of some of our favorite parks and playgrounds and why we love them and you guys can just pop onto this post and add your own.

Erika's Picks:

Meadowlark Park (Vienna)- I grew up going to this beautiful botanical garden and it remains a favorite of mine. It is huge and there are gazebos and ponds and nature trails and beautiful flowers, especailly right now. They started charging about 10 years ago which is a bit of a turn off, but it's $5 a person and 6 and under are free. It's a great place to take a ball to kick around and there is a nice picnic area right in front of the park to bring lunch to.

Clemyjontri Playground (McLean)- By far, the hugest, coolest playground I have ever seen! This place is awesome for kids and there is a carousel in the middle and a track that goes around the rubbery surface that all of the play equipment is built on. My best advice is to go on a slightly chilly day so it isn't so crowded and beware that it is an easy place to lose a youngster simply because it is such a big area.

Rady Park (Warrenton)- We just discovered this park last weekend upon the recommendation of a mom from preschool. It's nothing spectacular, but they do have a small playground in the SHADE and a stream that runs through that is shallow enough for kids to get right in, which we did. It has a trail that circles it and some huge athletic fields to run around in. While you're in Warrenton, stop at my new favorite fast food restaraunt Chick-fil-a that is right on the way to the park and is so super clean and the staff is very helpful and friendly, not to mention the yummy food!

Free Movies at a Theatre Near You!

Did you know that most theatres offer free movies during the summer months? Call your local theatre to see what days/times they offer their free movies...and their summer line up! Remember, the movies fill up fast so get there early.

Selected G & PG movies start at 10AM each Tuesday and Wednesday during the festival. First-come, first-served seating is limited to theatre capacity. The Free Family Film Festival is safe, lots of fun and a great way for kids to spend a weekday morning in the summer.
