What's with Walgreens recently?
Yesterday I got the Reynolds aluminum foil
and had a Walgreens coupon out of the paper for a 20 ft roll.
They didn't carry 20 ft rolls so they had to
do the 25 ft rolls for the same price
which was all good.
Then I wanted the Quakers rice cakes.
Couldn't find them anywhere in the store so asked
someone where they were. They told me they didn't carry
them in that store. I said even though you have
them advertised in the paper you don't carry them?
That to me is like false advertisement to lure
you into their stores!
She said some stores don't carry certain items.
Yeah but this is getting ridiculous because
just last week I went in for the Goya beans
and had printed a Walgreens coupon for them
and they told me the same thing,
they didn't carry them.
Why advertise items if only some stores have them???
I'm not running around town to figure out
which stores carry these items.

------------------------------------------------

10:45AM

Every now and then I have to shop at
Walmart to be reminded of why I don't
like to shop there.
1. store is too confusing and too big.
toiletry and food items are on opposite ends of the store.
2. they never seem to stock the shelves
for the things I need to buy.
3. they don't double coupons
4. I can get better deals with coupons elsewhere.

My groceries were $3.68,
that was out of my grocery budget.
I got
4 bottles soy sauce $2.84 for all (.71 cents each),
2 bottles stir fry sauce .84 cents (.42 cents each),
3 reach dental floss- free,
2 Tucks to go pads- free

I actually had another reach floss
and coupon and they would not take
the coupon so I had them take the
floss off my bill!
Don't know why as is doesn't have
a limit stated on their coupon policy
other than 1 coupon per item.
I didn't argue with them about
it and said I don't want it then!

I had many other coupons I didn't use because I either
couldn't find things, they were out of stock
or they were higher prices than what
I posted yesterday.
.
..

I also got these items which
are not part of my grocery budget
so they are not included with the grocery totals
for the week.

Tennis shoes for Tony $12
and the kids told me this morning
they needed school boxes-
found them for .25 cents each and got 4 for $1.00.
I got them each 1 box for home/book bag and 1 for school.
.
-----------------------------------

11:10AM

Last night I took a bunch of meat out
of the freezer and put in the fridge to thaw for upcoming
meals or cooked meat for the freezer.

10 lbs chicken leg quarters-

will get skinned then go into crocks to
cook with water & chicken boullion.
Then will remove chicken from bones
and pack into freezer bags.
Ideas for some recipes:
-chicken tacos
-chicken stir fry
-bbq chicken pizzas
-chicken salad sandwiches
-chicken pasta salad

1.5 lbs. chicken breasts

Might also do in the crock
with some water & chicken boullion
then pack cooked meat in freezer bags.

1.5 lbs. hamburger

plan to make some crock pot chili today.
2 cans kidney beans $1.18
1 large can tomato puree $1.00
1 jar chunky mild salsa .67 cents
hamburger- free
chili seasoning mix .50 cents
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese .50 cents
2 can diced tomatoes- free

TOTAL FOR CHILI MEAL: $3.85
Serves at least 9 @ .42 cents a serving.
I ended up putting 2 containers
of chili in the freezer for another day
on top of 4 meals tonight for supper
and a lunch for Tony tomorrow.

By the way the kids said their sandwich wraps
worked today.
They said it kept their hot pockets warm!

This was on Bounce's Facebook page:

Bounce

Bounce Cold morning? Toss your jeans in the dryer for a few minutes with a Bounce sheet so they're all nice and fresh and toasty... ever tried it?



My answer to this would be yes,
but I haven't done jeans. I sometimes
like to throw jackets
in the dryer on a cold Winter's day
to warm them up before heading out!
Also the night before I would place all boots
(sometimes hats & gloves if they were wet)
on the register so they would be dry & toasty warm
the next morning.

11:45AM

Kept hearing this noise outside
and after a few seconds I knew what it was.
When we lived near Upper Arlington
we'd see and hear it all the time considering
it docks at Don't Scott Airport.
Wonder why it was flying by today?

What's on Sale & When

Different times of the year
certain things go on sale.
Check out this video from Dollar Stretcher.

------------------------------------

4-5:00pm

Got a blanket hung up on the clothesline
and 2 more in the washer.

Got chili going in a big pot.
I changed my recipe a smidge.
I added a can of diced tomatoes,
about a teaspoon of cinnamon
and about an ounce of finely grated up
chocolate to add to the pot also
with the rest of the ingredients
I mentioned earlier.
This is called Cincinnati Chili also known as Skyline Chili.
But this is my version of it as other recipes
may have additional ingredients.

------------------------------

I've been keeping an eye out for another
internet, phone & cable company
since ours goes out many times a week.
I see an ad on tv for AT&T
and decided to check it out.
I had them years ago and didn't like
them but maybe they've changed since then.
I jotted down the web address from
the commercial to be able to read
all the fine print that came along
with the offer and know what?
It said Page Not Found!
Go figure!

---------------------------------

7:15PM

Getting all the bedding cleaned.
Just brought in 2 blankets off the line,
1 is still drying, 2 more are in washer
and I have 2 pillows in the dryer.
People look at me like I am crazy
when I say I wash our bed pillows.
What's wrong with that?
I do it all the time!
I like sleeping on clean pillows
that have less germs and a little
less drool and they smell good too!

-----------------------------

8:00PM

I'm tired, especially from running up
and down the basement stairs washing bedding
and putting things away in the pantry so am
thinking about retiring to the bedroom
and watching my Ghost Hunters.
As far as I know I don't have plans
to go anywhere Thurs or Fri so might
work on getting all this chicken
into crock pots and get them cooked up.
