5 Must-have Fashionable Pieces to Pack for Every Weekend Trip

So what are my Top 5? These are a few items I'm SURE to carry with me on each and every weekend trip.

1. Tank Tops - I tend to stick to black, white, and one bright & bold color. You can always mix & match and layer too.

2. Leggings - What would I do without a pair of black leggings? If the weather is hot and I don't feel like dealing with jeans then my leggings always come in handy.

3. Shrug or Cropped Cardigan - I NEVER take a trip without a shrug or cropped cardigan with me. They are light & easy, mix and matchable. I typically wear my tank under and just use my shrug for a bit of arm coverage if its windy.

4. Flip Flops - Travling without flip-flops? You won't catch me doing that. I always have a pair or two on hand. They always come in handy!

5. Necklace or Bracelet - A simple necklace or bracelet can change your whole outfit. I tend to bring something that isn't flashy, just simple, cute, and fashionable.

My Top 5 are all mixable and definately matchable. What are your Top 5 Fashionable Pieces? Leave me a comment and let me know. =)

TARGET Trip 5/3: Nivea, Sobe, Bath Buddies, Gerber and a few more...

After reading up on a few Target deals, I checked what coupons I had and set off on my quick journey. Unfortunately, I didn't find nearly half the things I was looking for, duty called for my 5-month old and we had to get out as quick as possible, lol! I was able to grab a few items... I even found the Gilette Body Wash on clearance for $1.52 a bottle! Too bad the cashier "didn't know how" to use the $4/2 Body Wash coupons I had and the person who assisted her said I couldn't use them. So I opted to void them. I think next time I'll try using the BOGO coupons for Gillete Body Wash if I can find any on clearance still. So here's what I purchased from Target...

Transaction #1
Buy (3) J&J Bath Buddies Soap $0.99ea
- use (3)$1.00/coupons on J&J Bath Buddies
(1) Gerber First Foods Double-Pack $0.89

(2) Sobe Life Waters $1.00ea

(1) Dial Hand Soap $1.25
(1) Nivea Men Body Wash $4.99
- use $3.00/coupon on Nivea Men Body Wash
TOTAL: $7.64 (+$0.61 TAX)
OOP $8.25


Let's DO the math...
TOTAL OOP: $8.25 for $13.39 WORTH OF PRODUCTS!!!

WAGS Trip 5/3: Veet, Nivea, Dawn, FREE Sure, and even more Hallmark cards!

I broke this down into two transactions and was pleased with the outcome. I've been on such a body wash and dish soap roll this week, lol. You can never need enough body wash or dish soap. Another favorite of mine is the Veet Hair Removal Cream... it's heaven! I tried it out last weekend and I can't say it enough, I love, love, love it. I used up all the Veet coupons I had, but I'm definitely keeping my eye out to get a hold of some more before the end of the month. WAGS has an IVC coupon in the May book for $3 off Veet, pair it with the printable $3 Veet coupon and each bottle is only $0.99! Check it out...

WAGS Trip 5/2: MORE Hallmark Cards, Irish Spring, Softsoap, Dawn & Envlopes!

(Candy & Snacks and Newspaper not pictured.)

I HAD to go back the next day for more Hallmark cards... this is one deal I wasn't going to miss out on! I was able to locate the $0.29 "In Memory of" cards but unfortunately they wouldn't scan at the register and even after being manually keyed in, no RR's!There was plenty of $0.49 cards left so I snatched em up, with still a ton on the shelves. I made three total transactions... check em out!

Transaction #1
Buy (8) Hallmark Children's Cards $0.49ea
(1) Dawn Dish Soap $0.99 w/in-ad coupon
- use $0.25/coupon on Dawn Dish Soap

TOTAL: $7.15 (+$0.66 TAX)
PAY w/ $5RR ($3-Tone Body Wash & $2-Plackers)
OOP $2.81
+ GET $7RR ($5-Hallmark & $2-Irish Spring)

Transaction #2
There we're a couple errors with this transaction... lol, I guess I was so excited of these Hallmark cards. I was charged for 9 "In Memory of" Hallmark cards (no RR), so I returned these afterwards. I also made the mistake of not using the in-ad coupon for the envelopes which would have only been $0.39 but due to my mistake I paid $1.29 for them!)

(1) Softsoap Body Wash $2.99
- use $0.75/coupon on Softsoap Body Wash
(1) Pumpkin Seeds $0.99

PAY w/ $7RR ($5-Hallmark & $2-Irish Spring Body Wash)
OOP $2.69
+ GET $2RR Softsoap, plus refund for 9-Hallmark $0.29 cards ($2.83)

Transaction #3
Buy (1) Sunday Paper $3.00 but rang up as $2.75
TOTAL: $2.75 (+$0.23 TAX)
PAY w/ $2RR Softsoap
OOP $0.98

Let's DO the math...
TOTAL OOP: $3.65 for $18.15 WORTH OF PRODUCTS!!!

I admit, lol, I know I could have done better. You live you learn and I will continue to save on! =)

WAGS Trip 5/1: Hallmark Money-Maker, Tone & Plackers

After seeing so many bloggers writing about this Hallmark Money Maker I had to find these cards for myself. I was surprised to find a good stock of the $0.49cent Children's Encouragement cards... they are adorable and having little ones -- I can surely put them to use.

TOTAL: $3.92 (+$0.33 TAX)
PAY w/ $3RR Tone Body Wash
