Pirate Day at BRM tomorrow-FREE!

Tomorrow is Pirate Adventure Day at the Brandywine River Museum. Admission is free until noon. Admission on Sunday mornings is always free, except for the holiday season. Here is some info on the event. If you time it right, you can go and see the other Wyeths, and just about the time your kids are getting bored, go join the Pirate Adventure!

 

Pirate Adventure Family Day

November 6, starts at 11:30 a.m.

Discover a world of pirate adventure!  Create a pirate hat and colorful parrot, listen to pirate tales and go on a treasure-hunt in the special exhibition, N. C. Wyeth’s Treasure Island: Classic Illustrations for a Classic Tale.  At 1:30 p.m., see the movie Treasure Planet (PG, 2002), featuring the voices of David Hyde Pierce, Martin Short and Emma Thompson. This animated Disney production brings Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island into the future, as young Jim Hawkins sets off across the universe in search of riches. The film’s animators were influenced by N. C. Wyeth’s illustrations and incorporated aspects of his style into the movie’s backgrounds and settings.    Free for members and included with Museum admission.  Arrive before noon to take advantage of the museum’s Free Sunday Mornings from 9:30 to noon.

Diapers & Wipes price round up, week of November 6

Here we go, the weekly price round up!

First, as always, the coupons! Last week had the P&G inserts that included Pampers. Huggies was 10/23, and here’s a $2 printable. Huggies, Pampers and Luvs all also do home mailers and other harder to find options. If you have the Walgreens Infant Care booklet, they expire 12/31, so it’s time to stop hoarding those coupons and think about using them. I think I’ve had one booklet left, since March or April, just waiting for the perfect deal.

Here are two SavingStar offers for you to load on to your shopping cards. These rebates can be stacked in addition to sales, coupons and Extra Bucks and stuff like that.

And, when you go out, if you do purchase Pampers, look for these specially marked packages that have $5 of coupons inside.

diapers, diaper coupons

Now, on to some of the prices. Remember that item counts vary by size of diaper, so you want to use your phone/calculator and figure out how much you’re paying per diaper or wipe. Personally, I prefer to stay at a penny per wipe or less, and won’t pay $0.03 or more unless I’m desperate. Diapers, my kids are in the bigger sizes now, so I aim for $0.15 or less per diaper, definitely under $0.20. More than that, only if absolutely necessary.

Amazon:

Ok, lots of good deals to be found right now, as most of the major brands are offering $2 & $3 clickable coupons. You can only use each coupon once. So, for example, if you buy Pampers and click the $2 coupon, if you buy any other Pampers, you cannot use it again (at least in that account). But you can still go and find a pack of Huggies and use that $3 coupon, but only once.

Here’s what you want to do:

Go to the Amazon diapers and find the brand, variety, count and size of diaper that you want, and while you’re looking at the page, make sure it has a coupon that looks like this:

If it does, click the coupon to activate it, and, click “Subscribe & Save” to save another 20%. Now, calculate your price per diaper to make sure it’s a decent deal–most of what I’ve found is under $0.20 per diaper which I think is good. Amazon allows you to cancel Subscribe & Save any time after your order has shipped. If you choose the bigger boxes vs the smaller packs, they qualify for FREE shipping too.
