Prayers for all those in the path of, and who will be affected by Florence...
Sounds like a good to-do list, OGM
Stopped on the way home from the pool today and snagged 4 more tubs of Folger's coffee @ $6.99 each = $27.96; used the $10 off $25 coupon to bring the price down to $18.14 with tax. Two of them were the half-caff stuff daughter likes; the other two were for our pantry.
I was lazy yesterday after I got home from the pool - read a book, napped off and on, ran to town to have a late lunch with daughter, sat in the rocker on the porch and watched the hummingbirds.... That was the first day of my vacation since it started on the 4th that I haven't had something I needed to do. It was pretty nice to goof off
I have been pretty much a slacker when it comes to cooking while I've been off work; gonna have to get myself back on track - next week (Boo!!)
I'll be heading to my work town in a bit; I'm waiting until a bit closer to lunch time as I have a email coupon from Arby's for a free small shake with sandwich purchase. Daughter sent me her grocery list for Aldi and I have added some items for myself, but I am still working on the list for other stores and I need to clip a few coupons yet. This is what I have so far:
Local Chain grocery:
Found the ad in the mail when I got home a bit ago; they have the same 'Buy $25/Get $10 off' deal going on except their price is a little better on the Folger's coffee @ $6.49, so I don't need to worry about wearing out my welcome at either store but can still put back a year's worth for daughter and myself.
I will also snag 3 jars of Ragu pasta sauce for $1.19 each with store coupon; hoping that the Alfredo and cheese sauces are included in this; if not, will get regular pasta sauce. I have coupons for 40 cents/2; will do deal twice, using the store coupon plus the 40 cent off 2 coupon.
Dollar General:
Tide Simply laundry pods 13 ct - $2.95; I have 4 - $2 coupons but they are limit 1, so will hit the 4 Dollar General stores that are on my route and pick up a bag at each one for 95 cents plus tax out of pocket.
CVS:
Vitamins are on sale either Buy 1/Get 1 Free, or Buy 1/Get 1 50% off, plus I have scanner coupons for either $2/$8 or $3/$15 purchase so I will pick up a couple of boxes of the type Hubby and I use (old folks vitamins lol!)
There is a Spend $20/Get $5 deal (deal completes at $19.20) I will have to do 4 trips due to coupon limits (no biggie, I'll be going past 3 different stores, doesn't take but a minute to pop in and out)
4 - Gain Flings (daughter uses) - $4.94/bag = $19.76
Use: 4 - $2 coupons = $8
Total out of pocket $11.76 plus tax; get back $5
They also have a Spend $30/Get $10 deal; I'm undecided about this one, but will probably do at least the following:
1 - Oxi-clean detergent @ $3.99 - I have a $2 coupon
4 - Right Guard Extreme at buy one get one free - not sure on total cost on this one, but I have 2 - $1/1 coupons
I can finish out this deal with paper towels if I decide to do so
Walgreens:
W brand paper plates - 99 cents w/store coupon
2 - Purex laundry detergent at $1.99 each - I have 2 - 50 cent/1 coupons
Progresso soup at 3/$4 - amount depends on selection
Planter's Peanuts - 2/$5 - I have 2 - $2/2 coupons so will probably get 4. I'll use some in Chex mix this fall and put the rest back for use in Christmas candy.
I will be picking up the grandsons at their church based after school program at 5pm and taking them out for supper; they've been begging to go to the Chinese buffet. We'll get a to-go meal for daughter and meet her at their house when she is done with work; this is her late night.
Tomorrow, I plan to go to the pool again; once home, I need to pick up walnuts in the side yard, then mow the yard. If I'm not ready for a nap after that, I'll work on cleaning the porch or doing more garden clean up. Friday's to-do list so far has going to the pool, being an honorary grandparent at the Kindergarden Grandparent's Day program, cleaning house, and going to the football game on it.
Saturday, I will run over to the foo-foo bakery and pick up my birthday pie for Sunday - I've chosen pie over cake since I was 5 years old
If I'm feeling kindly, I might even share a bit of it with Hubby, daughter and the grandkids!
Reckon I'd better get on the road if I'm going to get all that running done; take care all; stay safe out there!
