Good music and good coupons

 Two things made my day today: a great coupon trip to Target and awesome jams for my run provided by my Britney Spears Pandora channel.


Don't lie. If you were a teen in the late 90's you love some Britt Britt. Am I right?  This girl loves Britney.
Bree loves Britney.  True Story.
My Pandora mix was so good I was even lip syncing "Lucky" while running. Who's cool?


My run today was 20 minutes of intervals. Why so short?  When you're doing HIIT (aka intervals) you do more work in less time. Meaning less time in the heat for you. Check out my HIIT blog for you interval how-to.


Tick-tock sprints:
-5 min slow jog
-5 min steady pace
-30 sec sprint, 30 second jog
-15 sec sprint, 45 sec jog
-30 sec sprint, 30 sec jog
-15 sec sprint, 45 sec jog
-2 min recovery jog
-Repeat the above sprints
-2 min cool down



The run felt good, but saving money at Target felt even better!  The pink binder strikes again.
Some people have asked where I get my coupons and tips. A great website for Target is TotallyTarget. Not only does she show you great deals, but she breaks down what coupons to use for maximum savings. Also Target.com offers good coupons. You can use a Target coupon AND A manufacturer coupons.


My best steals today were 2 bottles of BBQ sauce that I made 2 cents on and my paper towel bundle. I got an 8 pack of Bounty, a 24oz Dawn, and a Bounty napkin holder...all for  $9.25! I also scored some aluminum foil for 50 cents.
I paid $22 for all this!
What are your plans for the holiday weekend?  Kyle and I are planning some time with family and friends with some great food and sun too!  I'm "aiming" to make some red, white, and blue cupcakes.


I'm also announcing Track Shack's Watermelon 5k on Monday.  If you're in Orlando come out and run and say hi! And enter the watermelon eating contest!


Love and spittin seeds, 
Carissa & Kyle
