Had to make a run to Kroger this morning
to get a few things to make a dessert with.
While there I found 5 pound bags of
Kroger flour for $1.28!
I picked up 2 for upcoming baking
or using in the bread machine.

Then found a 2 pound package of
beef chuck boneless blade steak
with 2 large steaks in it marked down
from $9.63 to $5.19.
I put one in a freezer bag and put into freezer.
The other I cut up into small cubes
and put into the crock.

For supper tonight I am making Beef Stew.
1 pound steak, cubed- $2.60
2 pkgs brown gravy mix (with 3 cups water)- .78 cents
2 boxes frozen carrots- free
about 5 medium potatoes, diced- .75 cents
1/2 can leftover French Onion soup- free

TOTAL COST: $4.13

My friend Kendra stopped by and
gave me a floor fan and 2 rolling carts.
The floor fan will be great especially
when I clean carpets and want them
to dry faster.
I think for the holidays I'll use the carts
as a kitchen island for my baking.
It has 2 drawers in each cart that I could
put baking supplies like decorations,
chocolate chips, cookie cutters
and all sorts of stuff in!.
I could use the racks on these shelves
as baking racks for cookies or putting
pies or cakes when they come out of the oven.
I can dream up all sorts of things for uses
for these carts.
Then once the holidays are over I can clean
them up and put in the kids closets
and use the bottom part as a shoe/boot rack
and drawers for undies and socks.
I could also put one in the hallway for
boots during the Winter months
and use the drawers for hats, gloves & scarves.
It rolls so I could even put it over a register
and use as a drying rack
to dry wet items like boots or gloves!
I LOVE PRACTICAL THINGS
that have many uses!!!!

Wowza! I’m not sure if this is a mistake or what… but currently, you can head on over to WomanWithin.com and purchase $50 or more worth of items, then use coupon code WW48580 to get $50 off your purchase of $50 or more! They have lots of Tees priced at just $5, so you could potentially score 10 Tees for just the cost of shipping! And they do have lots of other items too.

I ordered 10 $5.00 t-shirts in boy colors
thinking I would get the boys some t-shirts for Christmas.
All through the ordering process it kept telling me after
I entered the promotional code that my shipping was free
and that my balance was $0.
Well I am now hearing they just changed the code
to only be $20 off a $50 order and that change must of went into
effect while I was ordering because when I sent the payment
to them my order went from $0 to $36.99!!

I should have done this earlier today because some people got
in on that deal before it changed.

But anyway I immediately called the 1-800 number
for customer service and canceled the whole order!!

This pisses me off!!
That through this whole order up until the time
I sent payment it said I owed $0!!
GGGRRRRRR!!!

I very rarely buy stuff online and the one time
I do it got all F'ed up!!

Woo Hoo just did 2 more surveys
for Opinion Outpost and are now
up to $40.80!!
