I’m very impressed with Vitacost.com.  They’re prices are always wallet friendly.  Plus if you are new to Vitacost.com, create an account and get a free $10 credit to use on the site for whatever you want.

They are having a sale up to 39% off their gluten free foods.  If you think they only offer a small section, then you’ll be pleasantly surprised. They actually offer over 1000 items that are gluten free and they continue to add items all the time.

Just a few Gluten free items (as I said there’s over 1000) you can expect to find on Vitacost.com:

Bob’s Red Mill Gluten and Wheat Free Pizza Crust only $2.99

Ener-G White Rice yeast free bread loaf  l lb $4.37

Cherrybrook Kitchen Gluten Free Dreams  Pancake and Waffle Mix  18 oz $4.18

Annie Naturals Organic Yellow Mustard  $3.40

This is just a small sampling of everything they offer that’s gluten free.  Buying Gluten Free labeled products are expensive compared to their non-gluten free counterparts in the store.  Vitacost.com helps curb some of the cost.  If there’s a product you know you like, you can also sign up for their set & save program.  They’ll auto ship you the product you like and you can cancel when you want.  Save an extra 10% on set and save bonus brands.  Also after 12 months of consecutive orders you 13th order is free.  But you don’t have to do that you can buy at you leisure too.  

Ok I wish I could have grabbed some pictures of this but unfortunately I was lucky I remembered to breath during all this.

My 3 year old and I were sitting on the couch watching Sprout (thank goodness in this case the older kids were at their dad’s).  We have 2 cats.  I heard the cats come bumping and stumbling down the steps from the living room.  They sometimes fight with each other so I didn’t think much of it at first.  I looked at my 3 year old and said “Them silly cats, what are those goofy kitties doing?”  Then I heard the sound that that strikes fear in my heart.  The undeniable screeching.  Praying it wasn’t what I thought it was, I mustered up the courage to poke my head around the living room doorway to see what the cats were doing.  I didn’t even make it to the door way when a bat flew past my head.  I screamed like someone was killing me.

I coward on the couch with my 3 year old.  That ugly nasty thing kept flying circles through the house.  Every time it flew threw the living room I let out another blood curdling scream.  My 3 year old was crying and he said “mommy stop screaming”.  The bat then started flying back and forth from the foyer to the kitchen trying to get out one of the screen doors.  As soon as I could gather up the courage I grabbed my three year old and we ran outside.  I tried to calm myself down so I could calm my son down.

Thankfully it was only a half hour until my hubby came home. I waited gratefully on our front porch until he came home.  I was so happy to see his car pull up.  He got out of the car and my son says “Daddy we need help”.  I explained to my husband what happened.  He grabbed a straw broom off the porch and went inside.  He went through the house and stuck his head outside and told me he didn’t’ see anything.  I said “honey, it’s there I’m telling you.  If flew through the living room like 3 times”.  So I stood at the screen door and watched him from the outside.  I hear him yell “I found  it”  Then I see him back peddling down the steps swinging the broom yelling “oh shit!”

He finally knocked it on the ground and did a good shuffleboard sweep and pushed the thing up against the screen door where I was standing.  He shut the main door so it was strapped in between.  I again started screaming and ran over to the other end of the porch.  Hubby came out the back door and let it out and it flew away.  I was crying by this point.  He was laughing at me. Our neighbors probably think we’re nuts.

I have 2 irrational fears any type of rodents in my house and pretty much any kind of bug. I swear I could deal with an intruder in my house better than a bat.

I love when these coupon books are offered.  They usually have some good high value coupons in them  They’re free and they’ll send them to your house.

I’ve been using Swagbucks for a few years.  I have to admit, I’ve mostly saved up my Swagbucks for gift cards or paypal payments around Christmas time.  There are some really cool deals happening right now though.  I found this one and thought it was a great deal so I snagged it.

They have a deal in their Swag Store for a set of 3 sipper top lids that say they turn any standard cup into a child-safe sippy cup.  They’re new in the shop and they have them on sale for only 199 Swagbucks!  I just ordered me some.  These are in the “For Kids” section when you go under “Redeem” then “Swagstore”
