I get all kinds of things at Walgreens.  Often, those things are FREE, and sometimes they even pay me if I have the right coupons.  I'm talking about the Easy Saver rebate catalog they have every month.  It has all kinds of coupons and rebates in it. Since I shop there all the time, I always have them put my rebate on a Walgreens gift card, and ( Read more... )

Not that I got a Christmas card from the White House, but I'm watching The View, and Barbara Walters showed the one she got. This is what it says on the inside of the card:

Nehemiah 9:6 (NIV) You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is ( Read more... )

(I've used that subject line before) Maybe I should be getting more sleep. If only I can find the time.

I have to run to the store this afternoon. Hopefully it won't take too long. I was hoping to avoid it, but I'm making cinnamon rolls for the Holiday Bazaar this weekend. Selling food for the Bazaar is a big Band Boosters fund raiser, so I've ( Read more... )

We had to go shopping yesterday, because Beth needed new clothes for work.  She's not allowed to wear jeans, and that's about all she has.  She 'hates' wearing anything else.  I guess she's going to have to get over it.  Anyway, she got double discount at Marshall's this weekend, and Jeffrey had 30% off at Kohl's, so it was a good weekend to go.  ( Read more... )

Ok - I'm going to obsess about this for a while.  Then I'll get over it.  I did the shopping thing today - because it was double coupon day and because it was a week later, which would hopefully make it more possible for me to spend the required money so I could save $9.  Well, I tried.  I had my list, and I did my best to keep track of how much I ( Read more... )

The dishes need done, because last night was Cory's night to wash dishes, and he didn't do it.  The kids all went downstairs and watched Spiderman 3, because it just came out on DVD yesterday.  Jeffrey bought it especially for Cory, and it came with a black stretch Spiderman mask.  Cory is loving the mask.  He had a book talk at the library last ( Read more... )

I went shopping last week, so I wasn't planning on going anywhere this week.  It's quite nice that Jeffrey can pick up milk, or whatever else we need, in between my regular shopping trips.  My reasoning is that, if he's already out, why should I have to make a special trip just to pick up one or two things?  He's got several stores close to work or ( Read more... )

I've got a whole pile of coupons on the table that I need to get organized so I can go shopping this week. I hate shopping without my coupons because, every time I go into a store without them, I end up wanting to buy something that I just know I have a coupon for at home. Ok, not every time, but it sometimes seems like it. I really have a hard ( Read more... )
