Day Four
Day Four was a rocking day!!! Mostly because I stopped at my favorite CVS and one of my favorite cashiers (Heather!!!) was there. She's so great!! I blessed her with some qs and she blessed me with some too! It's great to find a nice cashier - plus she's a really nice mom who's fun to talk with. :)
OK - let me start from the beginning. Today was a busy day. I stopped at Rite Aid, CVS, Wal Mart and dropped off some Fig Preserves to sell. Hubby and I always make preserves to sell around this time of year. Speaking of - check back on Sunday - I'm going to list my recipe and I'll be doing a giveaway!!!
So Stop # 1 was Rite Aid. I wanted to buy the Lysol Neutra Air which is on BOGO sale. I had one little BOGO Q I wanted to use, but there were none on the shelf. Zippo. So I asked for a raincheck. I got a raincheck for 6 so I need to be scrounging up two more BOGO Qs. ~ lol!
Stop # 2 CVS
This picture is missing the three photo books I did and a 5 x 7 enlargement. They weren't ready when I need to leave so I'll just swing back by later and pick them up. This deal was done in three transactions which I've listed below for you. I paid 1.86 OOP for everything and came home with the same ECBs. I know I could have turned this into a moneymaker, but I needed all the food so it worked out good.

Stop # 3 is WalMart. I did my bi -weekly shopping today. After purchasing everything I needed for my two week menu I've spent $42.51 so far. I made my menu based on what I already had here at the house. My budget is $150.00 for two weeks. So I'm taking 50.00 and putting it aside for our upcoming weekend getaway, 25.00 is going reserve for fruits and veggies then next two weeks and 33.00 is left to work the sales and stockpile!!!!
I price matched the chicken and the grapes to with Super 1's ad. The chicken is $1.47/lb making it $7.35 for the 5lb family pack and the grapes are .98 cents/lb.
2 Chat about it:
