The Tour

So my mom is in town and I couldn't wait to get her to CVS!! I was so excited to show her the ropes, so I grilled her on all the products that she uses. Toothepaste, soap, shampoo, etc. It just so happens that CVS had a great deal on deoderant this week, so I gathered up my coupons and off we went.

The bottom line: Spent $7.50 and got: 9 sticks of deoderant, 2 tubes of toothepaste, and 2 toothebrushes. Not too bad. So, I"m sending her home with 2 sticks of deoderant, 2 tubes of toothepast and a toothebrush....

Anybody else need some Degree?

Were you wondering?

Where I've been? Maybe not, but maybe you were wondering how grocery shopping did this week. Well, my goal was to not shop except for essentials like eggs, milk, fresh veggies, etc. And it worked! Although my father came to visit, which meant I needed to buy a few special things for him, I did not do a big grocery trip. Yea!!

Nothing saves money like not spending any :)

I couldn't help it

And I didn't take a picture. This past week I was planning on not going grocery shopping because I wanted to use up some food I'd been stockpiling. However, HT decided to have a great week and I ended up buying $252 worth of groceries for $70. They had their B2B3 free 2 lb frozen shrimps ($4.33/lb) and a special deal that if you bought a certain amount of specified products, you get $4 and $5 off your total order.

So, I stocked up on shrimp, frozen vegetables, refrigerated doughs (pizza, cinnamon rolls, etc), fruit snacks and cinnamon toast crunch (my husband's favorite). So, REALLY! my freezer is stuffed with food. I can't buy anything else for the freezer! So, we'll be having pizza and shrimp this week, although not together. And I'll be starting Freezer Friday! Where I make 1 item from a freezer item. I mean, we gots to have room for ice cream!
