Newspaper Subscription

A Note about Coupon Inserts: Keep in mind, the value of coupons varies by region and not all areas get the same coupons. I have found that typically the bigger city newspapers get a much bigger selection of coupons than the smaller city newspapers.

Barbie Sweet Talking Ken Doll $9.59 (Fun for all ages?)

I was browsing around Amazon this morning and came across this fun deal. Get a Barbie Sweet Talking Ken Doll on sale for $9.59 on Amazon right now. This ships free with Super Saver Shipping on orders over $25 or with Amazon Prime. Prices fluctuate quite a bit on Amazon, so this deal can change at any time. Features:

  • This Ken is Barbie’s ultimate boyfriend. Why, you ask? Read on…
  • Ken says whatever you want him to say
  • He records up to 5 seconds of sound and plays back
  • 3 different buttons on Ken dolls back for record and playback
  • Play back in high, normal or low pitch

I have to admit when I came across this doll, it totally gave me a chuckle and then what really got my attention were the customer reviews, which is one of the things I love most about Amazon. It looks like this little guy is a fun toy for all ages. Here’s a few of the things they said, some of which cracked me up:

“This is far the most funniest ken doll to date!!!”

“Hearing a doll talk is always fun, even better when they repeat your lines, instead of repeating the same phrases over again. This is a nice change, for a talking doll. This Ken repeats what you say, so you can give it a little script to play out with Barbie. Its great! My daughter really enjoys playing with Barbie, dressing her up and changing her accessories. Now that she’s able to have Ken talk to Barbie, there is so much more do!”

“Santa left this Ken for my dad- who is a character, and notorious for playing Barbies in a hilarious way- as a joke, and so he could play with it with my daughter (4 yo) and people from 4-60 find this ken crazy funny, even the 12-16 yo girls in my neighborhood that come by to play with my daughter have a blast with it.”

“Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet Talkin Ken is a blast!!! He provides us hours of fun. Finally Barbie got it right!!! Sure, his hair is stiff and his pants come undone alot–and his arms and legs do not bend…but Ken ROCKS! He will say anything you ask him to say…and he can do it in 3 different voices!!”

“I had to laugh when I saw this Ken doll. It is great for me and my girlfriends who feel our partners are neglecting us. I have not received it yet but I know it will bring a lot of laughs for both partners as well as make a point to the neglectful significant other. Cant wait to have it talk to my husband. I bet a lot of grown women buy this doll.”

“This is the best Ken ever! My 6 year old daughter absolutely loves this toy and will not put him down.”

My Walmart Shopping Trip (Lunch for 2 only $0.98!)

Earlier this week, I had a long list of errands I had put off for awhile which had me running in several directions.  I also stopped in at a few stores while I was out including this latest Walmart shopping trip. I had my trusty cooler along, so it was no biggie to pick up a few perishables along the way. Sadly, most of what I was looking for was out of stock. I have yet to find a single box of the small Bayer Aspirin that is priced at $2.22 in stock at any Walmart to use the yummy $3/1 coupons from the 6/24 SS insert on, but I am sure they will eventually turn up one of these days. At least the coupon doesn’t expire until mid-August, so there’s hope at some point at least. LOL I did up using several great coupons I had accumulated from various promotions but hadn’t used yet, so that was great.

Here’s what I did find:

  • 3 Diet Coke (2 liters) – $0.68,  I’ve been trying on & off for a long time to get away from sodas, but they continue to call me back. Hopefully one of these days, I’ll get motivated once again, but for now, not sop much. 😉
  • Laughing Cow Garden Veggie Spreadable Cream Cheese Wedges – $2.68, Used $2.00/1 coupon (no longer available)
  • Old Orchard 100% Grape Juice (64 oz.) – $3.18, Used FREE coupon
  • “Value” Napkins (150 ct.) – $0.97, I had not seen this at their store before, maybe it is part of a new budget type line and I thought the quality was just fine.
  • Voila Beef Lo Mein Meal – $3.98, Used $3.00/1 coupon (no longer available), And I cooked this up when I got home, it made a very nice lunch (plus leftovers for later) for John & I
  • Bounty Basic Paper Towels (single roll) – $1.00, Used $1.00/1 coupon (no longer available)
  • International Delight Iced Coffee (half gallon) – $3.98, Used FREE coupon from previous promotion
  • Final Cost $4.93
