October Shopping Guide


 Check out all the Krazy deals we found for October.
This post contains paid affiliate links, please read our Advertising Disclosure Statement.


It's FINALLY Spooky Time!!
🎶Deck the halls with ghosts and goblins🎶


With the change of seasons and the drop in temperatures, there will be plenty of deals in October to cash in on.


Outdoor furniture for one! People tend to spend less time outdoors when the temperatures drop unless you live in Florida like we do then you spend more time outside enjoying the cooler weather! Expect deals on patio furniture and outdoor living products in the Fall as retailers make room for the upcoming Christmas décor.

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.

DIY Halloween Apothecary Tutorial


Check out all the spooky goodness in this DIY Apothecary Tutorial 
and be sure to watch the full Video Tutorial below!
This post contains paid affiliate links, please read our Advertising Disclosure Statement.










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...!








Apothecary Jars


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.







Apothecary Labels


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:
  1. Sand them with sandpaper 
  2. Paint them with school glue 
  3. 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:
  1. You can use your hot glue gun to write on the containers or even glue on some creepy-crawlies before you paint. 
  2. Spray paint with flat black paint or hand paint (I prefer hand painting. ) 
  3. 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. 
  4. 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!

June Shopping Guide

Check out all the Krazy Deals we found for June.
This post contains paid affiliate links, please read our Advertising Disclosure Statement.


Did you know that June is the third month of the year with less than 31 days?

Although June may be one of the shorter months of the year, its supply of shopping events and promotions is far from lacking.

You may be considering buying a gym membership this summer, this may be because the hype of the New Year’s resolutions is dwindling. So if heading back to the gym is on your to-do list, look for those offering deals and discounts on their memberships.

Did you know in the United States, Flag Day is June 14th? Flag Day honors and commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States which occurred on June 14th, 1777. Some states provide a sales tax exemption for flag purchases on Flag Day. Also, retailers in the past have been known to offer Flag Day deals and even Flag Day sidewalk sales. So be on the lookout for those.

Father’s Day is Sunday, June 18th, 2023. Father’s Day commemorates fatherhood and gives us all a chance to celebrate and appreciate all fathers and father figures including grandfathers, great-grandfathers, stepfathers, foster fathers…etc. Like Mother’s Day retailers offer an abundance of deals and specialty gifts just for dad!

We can't forget about Amazon's biggest event of the year, Prime Day! Amazon's annual Prime Day event is on July 11th & 12th, 2023. As a Prime member, you can see up to 50% off Amazon Devices, extra rewards when using your Prime Credit Card and so much more! Don't miss out on your chance to save big!

Lastly, we have the first day of summer known as the Summer Solstice on Tuesday, June 21st, 2023! You know what that means? Summer Sales GALORE!!

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.

April Shopping Guide 2021

Check out all the Krazy deals we found for April 2021.
This post contains paid affiliate links, please read our Advertising Disclosure Statement.



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. 

With Covid-19 still lingering our shopping experiences have shifted to even more online shopping. 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!

Although there are no major shopping holidays in March, 

March winds will still be blowing in some fabulous deals.


If outdoor grilling is something you enjoy, this is the best time to stock up on all your essential BBQ supplies, such as that dream grill you've always wanted. After all that grilling, exercise equipment will be a good buy as well. Many stores have great deals available.

Now that winter is winding down you’ll come across some amazing deals on riding and push mowers, just in time for spring. After all the first day of Spring is just right around the corner, the 2021 Spring Equinox falls on Saturday, March 20th.

March is also National Frozen Food Month, so be on the lookout for awesome deals to stock up on. Winter clothing sales will still be going strong in most stores to get ready for spring and summer lines. It would be a great time to snag some deals on coats, sweaters etc. Of course Saint Patrick's Day is coming up on Wednesday, March 17th so look for deals throughout the stores as they tend to have sales around any holiday, even St. Patty's Day! Department stores and online retailers will usually discount their selection of green-themed clothing, party supplies and jewelry as well.

Lastly, March is traditionally the month when spring cleaning and organizing officially gets started, it's also a great time of the year when you can do more than just declutter. It's also a great time to buy materials for your upcoming home renovations.

Don't forget, the dreaded tax season is still upon us. There are many deals to be found on DIY Tax software.

With Covid-19 still lingering our shopping experiences have shifted to even more online shopping. 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.
