Since I have so much fun finding deals and bargains out there, I try to return the love by sending at least one care package every 3 months to Any Soldier. Isabella and I have a great time picking out a unit to "take care of" and they make it quite easy as there is always a list of wants and needs. Since our last unit has returned home since our last care package, we had fun picking a new unit, this one also from Arizona. We are also partial to picking Marines (seeing as John is a Marine) and I like to pick female units because, well, I bet being the mothers and daughters and sisters, they are the least taken care of, since the women are the ones usually sending the care packages! Anyway, this is a great program if you want to help out. It's easy, fun, and makes a difference in someone's life. BTW, since I made this a game at my first Bargain Bootcamp, I will share the bargain-related information here too. the retail value of this care package was $84.72 and the actual OOP cost was only $8.04 (plus shipping, which is $15.00ish for flat rate box to Armed Forces). So, the impact is huge for our troops, but the cost is minimal to us here at home.

I love dining and entertaining with my husband, but not when it costs a fortune. I love creating with my kids and teaching them all there is to love about life, but I want them to learn about saving, living within their means, and that money does not equate happiness.

Things to watch for at Target
There are pool totes on clearance – and there is a $2.00 off beach tote Target Q the one I saw yesterday was on clearance for 9.48 – so 7.48 after Q. Not a deal for me, but if you need a pool tote it might be right up your alley.
There are Sonia Kashuk make-up brush sets on sale from 7.48-17.48 on clearance. Pairs well with the $1.00 of Target Q. Again, not a good enough deal for me yet, but if you need new make up brushes, might be good for you! As always, clearance finds vary by store and don't forget to check the end-caps.
There are many bikini’s on clearance as well. There is a $5 off a top and bottom Target Q – may make for a deal if you are looking for a bikini

Super 50% off Groupon Deal for OLD NAVY!
Check out the Wednesday/Thursday deal for Groupon. You will get a $20 certificate for only $10. I do believe this can only be used in-store and expires 7/31/11, but if you had something in mind from Old Navy already (like me), this is a sure-bet.
You will need to sign up for Groupon first, or go to your account if you already have one, and then copy and paste or follow this link to find the national deal for Old Navy. This is a 2-day Groupon, so don't fret if you're finding this late in the day.
