To view the full expected list go Here.

Remember that the inserts vary by region. If you are planning on purchasing several newspapers just for the coupons, remember that they are not guaranteed!

Frugal Teacher Gifts!


I can't believe that today is the Twins' last day of preschool! It seems like just yesterday they were starting their first day! My oldest, Ethan's last day of school isn't until June 9th. They have to go to school longer due to the wind storm we had last year, and all the snow days!



I really appreciate all of the hard work that the teachers and bus drivers have done throughout the year, so I wanted to give them all a small Thank You gift, but the problem is that the twins' have 2 teachers, and 2 bus drivers, and my oldest son has 2 teachers & 1 Bus driver! So I had to come up with an inexpensive & creative gift that would be reasonable in our budget!

Here's what I came up with:
They each painted Terra cotta pots which were only $.79 ea. at Walmart. We also planted a flower in each pot. The flowers were a little over a dollar a piece also at Walmart. Then they made them Homemade cards with card stock that read, "Thank You for helping me to Grow!" I got this idea from here.

Do you have any inexpensive or fun gift ideas? Please leave a comment below & share!
