State Fair of Texas: Save on Your Admission

-


Our whole crew is getting excited about the Texas State Fair. It's a HUGE event in our family each year. The problem is that as our kids get older and our "crew" expands to include some other super special people, the cost of the fair can sky rocket. We've found a few great cost savings ideas over time, so I wanted to share them with you.

 First, you have to get into the Fair . . .

Admission:

You can buy them ahead of time at several retailers

 If you buy them online at the State Fair website, they are $1.50 cheaper.

 You can buy them on the DART GoPass app - $16 for adults and $12 for children and seniors.

 Kroger sells one-day tickets for $16.50 and a season pass (which includes one Bring-a-Friend ticket good from M-F) for $34.95

 Bringing Dr. Pepper cans will you get half-off the gate price after 5 p.m. on any week day.

 McDonalds is offering discount coupons that will give you $5 off an adult admission or half-price children's admission with an adult admission.

 First Responders' Day is October 13 - all first responders will get FREE admission + 3 family members admissions with their badge or ID.

 Dr. Pepper Tuesdays - $6 admission with a Dr. Pepper product

 North Texas Food Bank Wednesdays - $4 admission with 4 cans of food to donate to the food bank

 Senior Thursday - All seniors get in FREE on Thursdays

GIVEAWAY: Practical Designs’ Shopping Cart Covers

-

With my first two boys we used a couple of different shopping cart/restaurant high chair covers – one was handmade by a family member and the other was store bought. Neither worked well. Maybe my ability to juggle baby, cover and seat is lacking, but I was never successful at getting the seat on, the baby in and everyone settled without something going wrong. Then the handmade one practically shredded in the washing machine and the store bought ended up sold in a consignment sale. So, I knew that we would be starting over with Weston and I really wanted one that had elastic all the way around so it fit whatever seat you put it on and had its own belt so that you don’t have to run the yucky one from the cart or high chair through the seat and around the baby. At Practical Designs I found the perfect solution. There is a reason that this shop has 100% positive feedback after over 100 reviews. Practical Designs sent me the Retro Dot Cover , seen below. As you can tell from this p

Exciting Giveaway - $25 Gift Certificate

I’m excited to tell you about our latest giveaway. Lately there have been some great deals from a new deal site from adpages.com. I’ve recently decided to partner with Adpages and bring you some more INCREDIBLE opportunities. The first step was trying out their services. So I used a credit to purchase their Clix! portrait deal . I was able to get a potrait sitting and a disk with 5 images on it for just $49. I have to admit that this is definitely my preferred way of getting pictures as prints can be VERY inexpensively made on the Internet but frequently cost an arm and a leg from the photographer directly. Besides, in our family the grandparents are generally the ones who purchase the pictures and so it doesn’t work for me to have to pick and pay at the time of the sitting. Weston just turned 6 months old and he is absolutely precious. I wanted to make sure we got a good glimpse of his personality in these pictures. I think Clix! did just that . . . I'm telling you -
