Fall
inventory generally starts arriving in stores around August and September,
however, you’ll pay top dollar unless you wait just a few weeks. October is an
excellent time to buy a new pair of jeans or a cozy cardigan.
Also the
closer you get to Oct. 31, the more your chances increase of snagging a
discounted deal on a bag or two of candy for all your trick-or-treaters.
So, if you're like me and always looking to save even more money on your online purchases two of my go-to coupon and coupon code browser extensions are Honey and Rakuten. Ibotta has recently launched a Beta Browser that is on the fast track to becoming my favorite browser, I highly recommend checking it out and giving it a try! I also recommend using cashback apps to earn money back on your every day in-store and online purchases. My favorite cashback apps are Ibotta and Fetch Rewards.

Halloween 2016 was our first Halloween in our new house. The thrill of decorating this new house was almost overwhelming. Figuring out where I was going to put things, what theme was I going to do, should I even do a theme at all, do I have enough decorations (this house is twice the size of our last house...), what am I going to make?...etc. So many questions and so little time to make up my mind and get it all done...!
One of the projects I wanted to make last year was an apothecary cabinet unfortunately I ran out of time and was unable to get it done... Fast forward to 2017 and here we are, my first project of the Season! While perusing Pinterest looking for inspiration I found there are several methods to making Apothecary jars. I found it hard to choose just one, so I've decided to try them all! As the old saying goes "variety is the spice of life."
So to get started, right off the bat you need a variety of jars and Bottles. I collected a variety of bottles and jars periodically throughout the year after deciding I wanted to do this project. You could ask friends and neighbors if they would save theirs for you as well. You could also check out your local thrift stores and even get some from the Dollar Tree like I did. You can also collect a few candle holders to add interest to some of your jars.
Next is figuring out what creepy crawlies you're going to put in your jars and bottles that you will be able to actually see the contents of. Eyeballs, spiders, snakes, worms, mice and assortments of creepy-crawlies are best (all fake of course...lol) you can find these items at Dollar stores like the Dollar Tree, party supply stores, Amazon and the party or fishing sections of most department stores like Wal-Mart.
Now what about those labels? Well if you're handy with Photoshop or any desktop publishing software and you're creative, you could make your own. You could also jump onto the Google machine and type “free printable Apothecary labels” into the search bar and see if any of those results tickle your fancy.
Next you'll need to gather your crafting supplies:
sandpaper
E6000 or other really strong adhesive
Feathers
Scissors
Tea bag
School glue
Glue gun with glue sticks
Mod Podge
Paint
Paint brushes
Container of water for brushes
Paint palette
Twine
Moss
Burlap
Fabric scraps
Paper towel
Food coloring
Printer paper
Water
Container to mix water and food coloring
Assortment of toppers for jars and bottles
Corks
Now that we have everything we need let's get started! Did you decide to get candle holder bases? Grab your E6000 glue and glue those on and set aside to dry, also dye fabric with tea bag if needed. (Don’t forget to dry them after you get them dyed.) Now we need to age your containers.
Here are a couple ways we can do this for your clear containers that you will see the contents of:
Sand them with sandpaper
Paint them with school glue
Add a little green and or brown paint to some school glue and paint them to give a dirty, muddy effect (my favorite option)
For your containers you can't see the contents of you'll want to add some embellishments first:
You can use your hot glue gun to write on the containers or even glue on some creepy-crawlies before you paint.
Spray paint with flat black paint or hand paint (I prefer hand painting. )
Dry brush with a lighter color like gray or brown, allowing some of the black paint to show through. When you add dimensional embellishments it gives them more character and interest.
You could also Mod Podge paper towel or fabric scraps to your jars and Bottles before using the painting techniques mentioned above.
After you've aged your jars and bottles and allowed them to dry, it's time to fill them, seal them, and add their top Embellishments. For your “clear” bottles and jars you're going to add your creepy-crawlies, then mix up some colored water with your food coloring, pour it into your jars and put the lids/caps on them. If you don't want them opened ever again you can glue your Lids on at this point.
Then add any extra toppers and paint the lids if you so desire. After your lids are done and dry “(if painted), you can now add your final embellishments and labels.
Finally it's time to set up your apothecary display. When setting up your display don't forget those little extra touches that really make your display pop. You can add some Halloween figures, little skeletons, lights...etc. For mine I added some spells scrolls tied with twine and put them in a crystal bowl that already resides in the cabinet I set my display in. Instead of finding the bowl a new home, I found a way to incorporate it.
Get creative and let your imagination run wild. The spookier the better!

April showers bring May flowers and also the dreaded spring cleaning.
Now is the time to start packing away those winter clothes. You can find many deals on storage totes, organization, and cleaning supplies. April is also a great time to replace your vacuum cleaner. I know buying a vacuum isn’t necessarily the most exciting purchase you'll make, but it can be less painful when you’re taking advantage of a spring cleaning sale. Easter is Sunday, April 4th this year, and when Easter is done and over, leftover candy and Easter-related products will be deeply discounted.
Also with winter finally over (for some of us..lol), it’s the perfect time to get active again and there will be many deals on sneakers and activewear to help you out. Consider this your reminder and extra motivation to keep working towards those fitness goals you set in January! Keep going, YOU GOT THIS!!
Surprisingly tires also go down in price around April, so if you need to replace them, April is a great month to find Krazy Deals on some new tires. Also, FYI Mother's Day is right around the corner coming up on Sunday, May 9th to be exact, so some April deals would work out well too, as small appliances and jewelry tend to be discounted in April.
April definitely has its fair share of spring deals and discounts. Other dates to remember coming up in April Earth Day on Monday the 22nd, Administrative Professionals Day on Wednesday the 21st, and Arbor Day on Friday the 26th. Normally Tax Day is April 15th however, this year it has been extended to May 17th, 2021.
