    Kid-Made Mother’s Day Gifts

    Handmade Mother’s Days gifts can be some of a mom’s most cherished items. Mother’s Day is right around the corner, so break out the craft supplies and get to work making something special for moms and grandmas (and any other special ladies!).

    I’ve looked for a variety of simple and frugal Mother’s Day gifts that you can make mostly with things you already have at home. Dads, take note! Another bonus of kids making these gifts is that it gives them a fun activity to work on during all that time at home.

        Through Wednesday night only, you can get a 3 month trial of Audible Premium Plus and only pay 99¢ per month!

        While you can also get a free 30-day trial, this offer is even better than that.  You’ll get to pick any 3 books (1 per month) to keep forever plus you’ll have access to thousands of audiobooks in the premium library.

        That means if you only get the trial you’ll still have 3 audiobooks that are yours to keep forever.  To access these you’ll still use the Audible app, and see your already purchased books forever in your library.

        I like to look for larger books that we can use for school.  We listen in the car and learn a ton, then they are still mine to keep later.

        Do note it will be $14.95 per month after three months, but you can cancel at anytime.  This offer is for anyone that is not currently an Audible member.

        Offer valid through 5/1.

          Target has revamped their RedCard with a new name and some new features!

          The Target Circle Card still has the same great perks of 5% off every purchase and free shipping on any order.  You never pay any fees for these perks either! It’s like Amazon Prime, but free…

          Target has three types of Circle Cards now:

          1. Debit Card linked directly to your checking account (I have this version).
          2. Credit Card
          3. *new* Reloadable Visa Card that works anywhere – like a gift card

          The new option is great for anyone that is hesitant to link a checking account but also trying to avoid credit cards.  You load cash onto the card and then can use it at Target to get the 5% discount, plus use it anywhere else you need to.

          $50 Off Next Purchase Sign Up Bonus

          When you open a new Circle Card account, and you’ll get a coupon for $50 off any $50+ purchase!!  The coupon will load into your Target Circle account to use at the register on your next visit.

          If you chose the Reloadable Card you’ll get a $50 credit to your card after you spend $50 in Target in one purchase within the first 45 days of signing up.

                May is very much a transitional month as many of us have some kind of change to our schedules either already happening or on the horizon! I planned a very easy month of meals in my May 2024 monthly meal plan, because I know what my family likes and I want to be able to throw dinner together without thinking too much about it. We’re having some form of tacos every week, but we’re also going to break out the grill and celebrate Mother’s Day and Memorial Day!

                Southern Savers FREE May 2024 Monthly Meal Plan

                I did throw in a few new recipes this month – lime dragon noodles and a peanut chicken dish. I always like to try new things every once in a while. Sometimes it’s a flop (not because the recipe isn’t good; just because enough people in my house don’t like it!), but sometimes we find a crowd pleaser that makes it into the regular rotation. I hope this May 2024 monthly meal plan helps make this month easier for you!
