Couponing adventure

Sorry I don't have any pictures, because I don't have my camera this week, however I have to let the cyber world know all deals I got at Albertsons tonight.

I think my coupon skills are beginning to advance because I paid a total of $19.27 for $126.97 worth of groceries. That is an 87% discount.

In total I bought:
4 boxes of cheerios
6 boxes multi grain cheerios
3 boxes nature valley granola bars
3 boxes cinn toast crunch
1 box golden grams
9 packs of various pillsbury pop biscuits
4 tubes of cookie dough
4 two packs of pie crust
1 box brownie mix
1 box of betty crocker potatoes
3 bags of dry chocolate chip cookie mix
4 yoplait yogurts
and 2 3-packs of grape juice boxes

If you are new to couponing, you are probably wondering how I did this. Honestly I kind of am too. I usually go to the store several times on separate occasions and that helps me to organize all of it in my mind. However, tonight I decided to try to get it all done at once while I had my sister there and our husbands took the children for a little while. I must say it kind of boggled my mind a little bit.

I must say the feeling of all the groceries and seeing all the savings at once was quite rewarding, however I thinkin since I live right up the street from the abies, I still might opt for smaller trips and more of them, just so that my mind doesn't explode.

And yes, that is a lot of sweets. I guess it looks like lots of baked holiday deliveries!

How do you think this happened?

Labor Day Couponing

Yikes! It has been a long time since I have posted a blog. I had to go to two Albertson's to find the Pillsbury biscuits that were on sale. Luckily, at the second one, even though it didn't look like there were any, there were. When I asked, they had some that had been shipped in, but hadn't been put on the shelf yet.

I got two boxes of multi-grain cheerios, two boxes of nature valley granola bars, 4 pop-biscuits and two bisquick boxes for.......$5.10 and i got a $5.00 catalina in return.

I also took a trip across the street to use my $7.00 in Wal bucks. I got a 3-wick soy candle, two crest toothpastes, and two jelly belly hi-lighters for fillers for $3.30 and I recieved $7.00 more in RR. Yay for clean teeth and fresh smelling air!

Dresser Completed!

I finally finished my dresser project! I haven't really posted any pictures along the way...whoops. Oh well, it will be suprising to see how it turned out. :)

The Shaggy Dog sat his germy behind in my baby's carseat

Okay, I am still kind of fuming after a run in with a stray dog this afternoon.

I was in the middle of cleaning out my mother's minivan and my car, so every door was open. Meanwhile this mangy stray dog lets itself into my parents yard where I was working. It seems alright at first. I mean I am no dog lover, but I was hoping at least it would mind its own business.

But no, It waits until everyone has gone inside and jumps straight into the back seat of my car, and sits it's giants disgusting bottom into my little baby's car seat!! I was furious which soon turned to hysterical when I could not get him out. The giant thing took up the entire back seat.

Not wanting to touch it I held the plastic lid to a box up and shoved it through the back seat like a shield, trying to force him out the other side. But it was to no avail and every moment I was imagining all the dirty hair and grime that he was wiping all over my baby's seat and not to mention all the baby clothes and blankets I had piled right next to it ready to vacuum.

I was practically in tears when my dad heard me screaming and came out of the house to help. Finally the dog came out when my dad grabbed his collar and pulled him out of my car. Instantly he lunged for the van, but we scrambled to close all the doors.

If only the pound came all the way out to the country to pick up dogs. Unfortunately the pesky thing just roamed around the farm/house the rest of the day, having the time of it's life swimming in the ditch and charging at people as they exit the house.

Daisy Perfume?

I always considered daisies to be one of the smelliest flowers. By smell, I mean that of sour milk. That is why I was especially suprised to see that the bodywash/bubble bath I had just poured into my bath last night was, in fact, daisy and lilly scented! It wasn't as bad as fresh daisies, but what were they thinking? maybe they were trying to be original by being the first to use daisies in fragrance? Daisies are a very pretty and fiendly flower, however there is a good reason they are not the top selling perfume scent.
