TOYS 'R US: $5 off $25 (HOT DEAL)

If you received a Hasbro Play-Saver coupon insert in this past weeks Sunday paper, you are in luck!  Here is an awesome gift idea for that special little girl, or a gift donation to Toys for Tots.  Here it is:

*Buy 2 Hasbro Strawberry Shortcake Berry Cruiser RC on sale for only $14.99
Total = $29.98

Use the $5 off $25 Toys R Us coupon found here
Use 2 $10/1 coupons from the 9/26 Play-Saver coupon insert (not all areas received this insert)
Final cost ONLY $4.98 total– just $2.49 each!

I went to my local Toys 'R Us store last night to find the shelves completely empty.  Not a complete shocker as many times, moreso than none, I have gone to Toys R Us to find the stocking of advertised items either at slim or none at all.  Lucky for us, Toys R Us offers rain checks on most of their items, this one including.  Thankfully I got a raincheck for 2, stapled my 2 $10 off coupons to it, plus my $5 off $25 and will be checking back with my store soon to hopefully score these for Emma.

PEPPERIDGE FARM: Strawberry Milano - Savoring the Sweetness of Life

Ahh, the love of chocolate... Ahh, the love of strawberries. Combined - absolutely, just as good (if not better)! Yes, you read right. Milano’s newest cookie - Strawberry Milano cookies. Oh how I love thee chocolate, and moreso, love strawberries - combined in a cookie form, even better. I can just picture the flavor - a outer cookie shell with rich dark chocolate and scrumptious strawberry in the middle - every bite bursting with the combined flavor of chocolate and strawberry. (Boy, can I go for a Strawberry Milano cookie now!)

I have always enjoyed Milano cookies, growing up as a child and now as an adult. My favorite has been the Double Chocolate Milano cookie. Actually, to this day, there is not a Milano brand coolie that I do not like or have ever turned my nose up to try a new flavor.

I have yet to try the Strawberry Milano cookie, however, with this $1.00 coupon, I will be picking up a bag to enjoy with the family. Actually, my son is leaving for college next Friday (can you see my eyes starting to well up now) and since he too loves Milano cookies, I will pack him a bag in his care package of goodies. Once he opens his care package up, I am sure he will be overjoyed as he will have a little of home with him.

Eating Milano cookies is like savoring the sweetness of life. This past summer I savored the sweetness too many times to count, though my biggest moment was watching my son walk across the stage and graduate with his classmates from high school. Believe me, I have always prayed for this day to come and knew it would, I guess it was the anxiety leading up to it. You see, my son is a straight A student, and I believe he fell into “Senioritis” during his Senior year (as I am sure others do). My son has developed, through his love of sports, a cracked spine. With many doctors appointments, surgery, missed school days, I was very hopeful to see him graduate - and guess what? I did! Seeing him walk across that stage, proudly, grinning from ear to ear, an accomplishment, one of many more to come in his future. That moment is how I savored the sweetness of life this summer. How did you savor yours???

Toys R Us: Deal of the Day (3/23) Strawberry Shortcake dolls

UPDATE:  I am very disappointed with Toys R Us.  This has happened before though I thought to give them the benefit of the doubt to post this.  Is it me, or does it seem at times (moreso than not) that they advertise for items they NEVER have in stock.  Now granted, I was not able to get there at 9:00 am because, like other moms, I have to get my kids ready for school, than I have to go to my full-time, out of the home job, work all day, come home, cook dinner, THAN go to my local Toys R Us store, to be completely disappointed of their stock (or shall I say non-stock) of Strawberry Shortcake dolls, and of course, they give no rain checks.  Now this has happened to me before on an item which I made sure I was one of the first ones there to also (again) find they were out of stock.  Why advertise for an item that they do not have.  I understand this is a national advertisement, but the company should make sure all stores have stock in what they are advertising.  Basically, Emma will NOT be getting these in her Easter basket this year!

Oh, how I loved to play with these dolls as a child, and now my daughter does too.  I remember when my mother had first bought them for me, their hair smelling like fruit.  I wonder if they still do?  I guess I will find out soon enough when my daughter gets her dolls.
