Yep i am enjoying the spinner but haven't used it a few days , I forgot about my lettuce so it wilted , but we are going shopping sorta tommrow.

The indoor grill is great I learned to do a few toasted sandwhiches and stuff on it, so its a great tool.

Yes I worked at Dominicks from 98-2000 I quit because I was out reality back then and was confused.

As for something we bought last my husband sunday went to get frozen dinners and a few things we needed that were simple and also frozen stuff to eat.
Then today i forgot I needed some personal stuff so he went to go get them and got some ragu and pasta so we had that for supper.
 
Jenn, you gonna kill me. :oops: I stopped at Ralphs supermarket on Friday and got an Amy's frozen cheddar bowl (already eaten), a box of onion Tam Tam crackers, and a package of PF Mint Milano cookies. The cookies were on sale for 2.99 and I had a manu coupon for 40 cents off, and I had the coupon ready to go, but forgot to give it to the cashier! That's the problem when you only have one coupon to use. *blushes* At least I got the cookies on sale, woulda been nice to save an extra 40 cents.

However, I'm planning a shopping trip to Target this week, so I'll use the coupon there. :) (Hoping to find the mint Brussels they didn't have at Ralphs)

Oh, and today after work I bought gas for my car, $45 and change. Then I stopped at a cafe in my neighborhood to have some food before continuing on home: A veggieburger (they serve it with mixed greens w/ balsamic vinaigrette) and fresh lemonade, $10 and change. Everything was very good. :)

Feel better! *HUGS*

Yeah, I love the feeling of standing at the checkout while the cashier scans your coupons and watching the amount go down! :D

I did a BIG shop at Target on Tuesday and wrote down all the details, because sometimes the receipt isn't enough to figure it out all out, but I left the sheet of paper down in my car in my coupon bag. I'll bring it up tonight and post everything here later. Needless to say, I spent way too much, as usual. *blushes*
 
Went to town Tuesday and bought a plastic keeper for my Toyota door latch ($3.00 Dealership), 2 Rubber maid totes ($12.00 K-Mart), a stiff broom for my trailer ($12.00 Ace Hardware), a small sheet pan, also for my trailer, and 2 books ($3.00 Good Will), 2 mops, 2 CD cases, 1 roll packing tape ($5.00 Dollar Tree), 5 yards of heavy material to make a chair cover ($20.00 Jo Ann Fabrics), dog nail clippers, grooming glove ($15.00 Petsmart), 6 used and 1 new DVD ($46.00 Hastings), 3 bean burritos, large raspberry tea ($5.00 Taco Bell).
 
Tuesday: Target

red cardigan
black tank top
white tank top
a bunch of short sleeved tops in different colors
1 light blue sleeveless top
something labeled as MSC Olga in the clothing section on the receipt I'm not sure what it is because everything else is either Merona or Mossimo :confused:
what's listed as a camera bag on the receipt I'll use as a small over the shoulder bag because it has a long strap. It's plum color and is vinyl, not leather.
underwear
socks
current issue of People magazine and I had a 50 cents off Target POS coupon
1 bag of Snyders of Hanover sourdough pretzel nibblers
1 bag of Mission tortilla strips, on sale for 2.50
1 bag PF Brussels cookies, on sale for 2.55 and I had a 40 cents off coupon (they didn't have mint Brussels)
Something labeled "Paramount FM" for 3.99 on the receipt which I have no idea what it is. It's not a DVD because I didn't buy any DVDs that day. :confused: (in looking again at the receipt, it has to be the package of sliced Tillamook cheddar cheese because it's listed in the grocery section and I don't see the cheese listed separately on the receipt) :confused:
1 small bag package of Wonderful pistachios, and I had a 1.00 off coupon
1 package of Del Monte cut fresh fruit
1 Amy's frozen meal
1 can Muir Glen vegetable soup
1 can Amy's vegetable soup
1 loaf Oroweat whole grain sandwich bread
1 case of Diet Dr. Pepper on sale for 2.79 and I had a 1.00 off coupon, making it 1.79 for a 12-pack, cheapest I ever paid for a 12 pack of soda :) (but of course I had to pay a 60 cents deposit for recycling, so really I only got 40 cents off) :p
1 package Almond Accents and I had a 1.00 off coupon
1 thing of Aveeno sunscreen and I had a 2.00 off coupon
1 can Skintimate shave gel and I had a 55 cents off coupon

1 package Chinet paper plates on sale for 2.50 and I had a coupon for 1.00 off
1 jug of cat litter
72 cans of Fancy Feast Elegant Medleys cat food, on sale, and I had four 1.00 off coupons, each for 18 cans
4 boxes of Arm & Hammer cat litter deodorizer, and I had two Target coupons, each one for 2.50 off two
2 Revlon Box o' Files (emery boards) and I had a Target coupon for 3.00 off two Revlon beauty products costing $3 and up - these were the cheapest at 3.14 each

I think that's everything. :p
I also used my Target Redcard, so that was another 5% off the total, pre tax. Total was pretty high even after all the discounts. Too embarrassed to state it here. *blushes*

I love Target. :)

(but you need a math or science degree to figure out their receipts sometimes) :confused:

Took a break from shopping on the fourth. My sister and I went to see a movie, but she paid for me as she was treating me to a birthday movie. :)

Tuesday: Target

red cardigan
Click to expand...

I've been waiting for their cardigans to go on clearance. I figured they would soon considering it's summer, but it hasn't happened yet. I've been looking at thrift stores to try to find something similar to the one I want from Target (I think it's called the boyfriend cardigan) but haven't had any luck there either. Hopefully soon they will get marked down.

Lots of shopping there Amy! Good deals though.

How are those Dollar Tree mops working out for you? I bought one a few weeks ago and I hate it. I'm just sticking to using my Swiffer for now on. I figured for a dollar I'd give their mop a shot since things are always hit or miss there. Sometimes their products are great and worth more than a dollar , but other times they are a big ole piece of crap. Oh well. Now the mop will be used this winter as my snow brush for my car so it wasn't a total waste.:D

I use them for doing the rough cleaning on my shower and my bathtub. It's easier than bending over.
I wouldn't use them on my floor, they wouldn't stand up.

Went to the grocery store today. Spent $200.00. I don't remember what I bought. To hot out.

Soap...lettuce...green onions...tomatoes...carrots...celery...broccoli...mushrooms...dry beans...dry chick peas...noodles...bread...other stuff
 
I've been using the California Baby super sensitive body wash and I do love it but it's too pricey for me. So I was on the hunt at Hellmart yesterday and found something called Body Essence body wash. It was a nice sized bottle and cheaper than the California Baby, so I decided to try it out. I like it! I got their Tea Tree Oil one. And judging from their website, it looks like their products are vegan, except the exfoliating body wash which has honey in it. And there's no animal testing, too. So I am pleased so far that I was able to find something cheaper. I'm trying to cut corners wherever I can to save money.

That's a great idea!:up:

I picked up 3 baskets of beets that were soft and starting to go bad for 50 cents each at the produce stand yesterday. Came home , washed, sliced, and roasted them up and have been munching on them every chance I get. :lick: They are so messy though and stain everything.

I love discounted produce. I also got a basket of yellow squash for 50 cents as well. I split it with my dog though since I couldn't leave her out of my delicious findings. I roasted mine squash but I pureed hers up and mixed it with her food.
 
bigg NOTHING..LOL.....due to injury have been staying off my feet/leggs and havent been shopping for a bit kinda suxx....

I did give three coupons for $2.00s off bic soleil razors to my close friend becks and she went to target and they were on sale for $4.99 and she used the $2.00s off and paid $2.99 for them....sweet and she donated two of them....awesome becks!!

peace, love & smiles:)
