Sorry for the lack of updates. Too much going on in my life now but I will try my best to update more often.

Here’s a great deal going on this Friday & Saturday. The Halloween costumes will be only $2 at Old Navy on Friday and Saturday (10/30 – 10/31). Even if you are not a big fan of Halloween like me, it is a great time to stock up for those dress -up chest. My little girl loves to dress up and when her friends come over to play, they are big fans of the dress-up chest too. I am sure that the selection will be small but it never hurts to look.

IKEA Seattle is currently having their Summer Sale. Save 20-60% off selected items. The sale ends July 12th, 2009.

If you haven’t check out Kohl’s clearance sales, you need to hurry and check it HERE.  Prices are down to 80% off!! I found some nice tank top for my little girl for only $2.40 each. Today the shipping charge is only 99 cents per item.

As part of our money-saving project, DH has been bringing lunch to work everyday for the past few months. Since DH takes the bus to work, it is important to use a proper lunch box so that it doesn’t spill all over his bag. After many attempts, we finally found one that he really likes – the Mr. Bento!

Mr. Bento is easy to carry and even comes with its own bag. It doesn’t spill even when DH brings soup to work. He can also bring hot food from home and it still remains warm by lunchtime. If you bring lunch to work, do try this out. Right now, it’s on sale for only $36 (original price = $65).

If this lunch jar seems a little big, there’s always the smaller-sized Ms. Bento or the cute Zojirushi Mini Stainless Thermal Lunch Box.
