with Mr. Clean & his Magic Eraser.

Quick TRUE story:

Some hoodlum graffitied on my bro's car with a permanent marker.
I was determined to renew bro's white stallion to its original state.
I saw a commercial for the Magic Eraser.
I was suckered in and bought the thing.
I scrubbed the hood of bro's car and ...VOILA!!!... no trace of street-rat hieroglyphics!

Old Navy Alert: 50% off already cheap!

My friend Lindsay Y gave me the heads up on this super savvy find:

Old Navy's clearance is now an additional 50% off! Whoop-whoop!

We're talking many items for pennies on the dollar.

Thanks, LY!

My Target Steals of the Day.

What did I find?

1- Circo socks for $1 ... usually $1.49!

2- RoseArt Easel for $4.98 ... usually $20!

3- Homerun Baseball outdoor game for $4.98 ... usually $20!

Many Christmas overstock toys are 30-50% off. Stock up for Birthdays, Christmas, or just a special day to give a child a new toy!

Here's the deal: I picked up a few of each of these toys. I will be keeping 1 of each, but since I'm such a nice person, I was being considerate of DSS readers as I shopped and picked up an extra one of each. If you'd like one, first come first served. I will sell it to you for the $4.98.

There were quite a few easels & homerun games at Target for this price, but I'd suggest moving quickly...steals like this don't last forev (I got these at the Target @ Westgate near Saratoga & Prospect).

FYI...$3 Anti-bacterial Soap

I had a question regarding when the $3 anti-bac soap from Bath & Body Works ended.

I have an answer: this Sunday, January 18th.

Happy scrubbing.

Safeway must be butter cuz it's on a rizz-oll

I apologize to DSS readers that do not shop at Safeway...the past few posts must be totally boring for you. I promise to come up with some good finds for you too in the next little while.

For those of you who are Safeway shoppers ---- Hoo-Dilly!

These babies are on sale 10 for $10...obviously a buck a bag. I know that you could probably buy the big guy at Costco for the same price or possibly cheaper, but these little bags-o-goodies are SO convenient!

Why so convenient? Where do I keep them?

*diaper bag- check

*car console & back seat of car- check, check

*pantry- check

*stroller basket- check

*church bag - check

*stocked up in the garage for future use- check

*basically liquified and in an IV bag pumping through mine and my child's veins- check, check

PS- Do the multi-colored goldfish freak anybody out besides me?

Safeway pantry items..and fresh berries

You know that feeling of panic when dinner should be served in 10 minutes and all you can think of is pasta...but you have no sauce to cover it?

Well fret no more. Rush over to Safeway before JAN 20TH to stock up on Ragu pasta sauce...BUY 2 GET 3 FREE!!! You're basically stealing from Safeway!

Thanks to my bro Austin for forwarding these deals on to me. I think he's sending hints that the cupboards need refueling.

Breakfast, the most important meal o' the day.

I bought these cereals yesterday for $1.88 each at the Safeway on El Camino near Fair Oaks in Sunnyvale - boy, that was a lot of prepositions.

It's not the creme-de-la-creme of physical fitness facilities, but it has the essentials and is pretty clean...not to mention I love the smell of the soap in the bathroom.

It has 6 tv's, good weight equipment, and I've NEVER had to wait for an eliptical or treadmill. And how could you beat the breathtaking view of El Camino?
