Recycle Bras!


I just thought I would highlight a nice program I just came across:

The Bosom Buddies is a textile recycling company that specializes in recycling bras. They use them for girls and women who are experiencing difficult times in their lives and may be in need of a necessity such as a quality bra, which might be something that is unaffordable or unattainable in their situation. I read that recently they have been sending bras to women in Kenya who need them.

I think this is a great program because bras are one of those things that I have ended up buying a lot of throughout my life, only to end up not liking them weeks later, or not fitting in them not long after buying them due to weight gain, weight loss, pregnancy, etc. I know I have a plethora of sizes of nursing bras too that I have accumulated through my now almost 2 year breastfeeding career. And I always debate on donating them to thrift stores because I feel like not many people are willing to buy a used bra at a thrift store (I know it's silly, but there is just an ick factor to it for me), so they are probably just going to go to waste, possibly even ending up in a landfill eventually, and that's the last thing I want. I would rather send them to a charity which will be sure to get them into the hands of women who need and want them.

Obviously, The Bosom Buddies only accept clean bras which are in good condition. But if you are anything like me, you probably have a closet-full of these things that could use a good home.

So, what are you waiting for? Send 'em away.

For the record, I found out about this program from my daily emails from Smart2begreen, which I love!

Petsmart 4/13

I was really excited to go to Petsmart today because I had some awesome coupon ammunition that s few and far between for Science Diet cat food! (yes, you can make fun of me for being excited about buying cat food)

Here's what I did:

1 17.5 lb. bag Science Diet Light @ $27.99 ($32.99 w/o pet perks card!)
1 17.5 lb. bag Science Diet Indoor @ $28.49 ($36.49 w/o pp card!)
1 wooden cat comb on clearance @ $4.97
1 cat scratcher box @ $6.97 (I think this was on sale too)
2 cans Science Diet wet food @ .90 ea.
2 cat toys @ $1.03 ea. ($1.29 w/o pp)

Used:
2 $5/1 Science Diet printables from HERE
2 Pet Perks Birthday coupons for $3 off cat toy (w/a $10 purchase)
1 peelie for 2 free Science Diet wet foods (found on 17.5 lb bag)

OOP = $58.79
Saved = $17.90 (not counting Pet Perks and clearance savings)

Pair this with the Target deal I did last week to get 80 lbs. of Arm and Hammer cat litter for $21 (got a $5 gc for buying 2 boxes) - plus free cat treat samples in the boxes -- and I have one happy cat!

Target 4/13

I scored some great deals at Target today, even with the accompaniment of a tantrum-throwing toddler!

Grocery:
Annie's Bunny Crackers @ $1.99 - on sale
Bear Naked granola @ $3.79 - used $1/1 printable = $2.79
Chocolate Silk soymilk @ $2.69 - used .75/1 MFQ = $1.94

Bedding:
Queen size bed pillow @ $4.04 - used $1.50/1 Target printable = $2.54
Circo kid's sheet set@ 13.99 - used 20%/1 Target printable = $11.19

Kitchen:
6 pack kids tumblers @ $1.38 - clearance
6 pack kids bowls @ $1.38 - clearance

Outdoor:
Solar walk-way light @ $3.00 - used $2/1 Target printable = $1.00

Dollar spot:
box of Brawny sandwich bags @ 1.00 - dollar spot
beach towel @ $2.50 - used $1/1 Target printable = .50
set of 4 bamboo placemats @ $2.50 (I hang these on the wall and hang my earrings on them)

Baby:
A&D Ointment @ $3.94 - used $2/1 Target Q (from mailer) and $1/1 MFQ from Parent's Mag (I think) = .99
California Baby bug repellent @ $12.99 - used $1/1 = $11.99 (you don't really find much better deals on this stuff, sadly)

-My store was all out of the Kandoo travel wipes which would have been .65 after MFQ
-Also, Huggies wipes are on sale for $1.66 this week, so if you have any Qs for that, this is a good time to use them. I didn't have any on me today.

*I only bought the A&D because I thought I had read the price as $2.99, so I thought I was getting it for free after Qs, but apparently it either rang up wrong or I read the price wrong. I have to go back to return some clothes, so I will double-check the price then. I might return it and get my dollar back b/c I really don't need this (was going to give it away or sell it in my yard sale), but if I did need it, this would be a great price on it...

All of those Target printables came from HERE although some of them may no longer be available. Remember, you can stack Target store Qs with Manufacturer Qs to get excellent savings!

ETA: I took the A&D back to the store. The employee looked at my receipt and said the ointment did ring up at the sale price of $2.99, but apparently my cashier rang my $2 Q, but not my $1 one. Since I had no way to prove that I had given the coupon, I just went ahead and got a refund. However, if you happen to have the Target mailer Q and the MFQ from the newspaper, you can get free A&D right now. Just make sure they scan both of your coupons!
