Car Shopping Made Easy

July 29, 2017 By Callie Leave a Comment

Sponsored Post

The old truckster is getting well old. I have loved my Tahoe and still do (shhh-I hope she didn’t hear me). There comes a time in a cars life when things, you know, may start falling apart, although I intend to ride her into the ground I’m a preparer (yes I made that word up). I like to see the future ahead and know what’s coming. So like any good geek I research and that way when she rides into the highway in the sky I know exactly what I want.

No one likes looking for cars-especially going to the dealership. They follow you, try to sell, and doing research is next to impossible. So I headed over to Cars.com so I could do a little sneak shopping on the side.

Cars.com is such a great resource for car shopping. I can find all the information about the newest models or look into used models as well. Their website has information about selling, repairs, reviews and my favorite is the little tab labeled videos and reviews. The site gives you an honest opinion on a variety of makes and models and even tells you when things just don’t work well. Isn’t that refreshing?

One last detail about the site-make sure you navigate over to the dealers section and find all the dealers close to you who sell exactly what you’re liking for. Now go ahead-you walk in there and talk the talk. Get the minivan of your dreams!

Saving Money with Groupon Coupons

May 26, 2016 By Callie Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post written on behalf of Groupon Coupons but all money saving opinions are entirely mine.

So the hubs and I had a conversation….it was about our budget. I mean the man is a budgeting genius. We set family goals every January which includes family travel. Each of us get to pick a place to go and we-I -try and make it happen. I have this family goal of every state by the time Row is done with high school as well as a national park a year and of course Disney every single year.

So with that being said I am always looking for deals. Now I know everyone knows about the awesome Groupon deals but did you know Groupon has coupons???? It’s called Groupon Coupons That’s right coupons for purchasing online at no extra cost!

I went straight to their site and found out you can save on places like :

*Hertz-perfect for traveling this summer!

*Office Depot

*Kohls

*Target

*Barnes and Noble

There are so many stores you can quick search alphabetically! Once you click on a store it will bring up every online coupon code currently being offered. They have done all the work for you. Not only can you save money but you can save time. I know with having a little in the house time is money and I love saving on places I already shop at! That’s the best!

Another great feature…you can click on the store you want to shop at through their directory and up pops all the current deals-check out this one for Kohls.

True savings isn’t getting things on sale. True savings is saving money on things you already needed! Groupon coupons does just that!

Oh and you can guess where my extra money will be going! You get a vacation, and you get a vacation, and you get a vacation!

5 Things to Know About Magnolia Market

April 18, 2016 By Callie Leave a Comment

Waco,Texas

Have you dreamed of visiting Magnolia Market since the day you saw Chip and Joanna sit in the downtrodden lot and dream about buying the silos? Is Fixer Upper your inspiration for everything in your house? You’re not alone!

I was oh so lucky to get to go to Magnolia Market while my bestie was in town! Now everyone I run into wants to now all about it so…

 

5 Things to Know About Magnolia Market-

  1. Yes it is as adorable as it looks on TV.  It is clear Joanna put her mark on every single square inch and little detail of the entire place. From the tables in the open area, to the garden area it is clearly Joanna. Things have gotten big for the Gaines Family but that doesn’t mean they don’t pay attention to the details.
  2. Parking can be crazy-Drive around a bit because there is not any designated parking for the Silos and it’s super close to the downtown area. I recommend driving around to the back side of the silos-much more parking there and just a small walk.
  3. Bring some a lot of money. Things are cute but things aren’t cheap. I recommend looking at their website before going and getting price points. There are many many things at the store that they do not carry online and yes you will want them so make sure you plan and budget ahead.
  4. Shop first, eat second. I had no idea there would be adorable food trucks inside the Silos property-everything from coffee and smoothies to crepes and sandwiches. The best part…..if you decide to shop in Magnolia Market there’s a coupon at the bottom of your receipt which can be used at each food truck. Score!
  5. It’s BUSY-BUSY! We went during the week and it was like we were sardines in there. I honestly thought it would be less crowded since we were there just after opening during the week-wrong. Apparently Saturdays are the worst-oh and not open on Sundays and Thursdays are the best but expect a crowd. The good news is they have lots of inventory.

IMG_2815Notice how in the panic of finding my Magnolia wreath the only pic I took inside had my thumb in it 🙂

It was about 2.5 hours from the Houston area and even though it was a drive it was worth it! Especially if you heart Joanna. Save that money and get yourself a Magnolia wreath!

What would you buy????
