Today's shopping trip!

I went to 2 stores this morning. The first picture and receipts are from Albertsons. Don't know how well you can see the totals on the receipts, but the total before tax came to $0.00 for all the items shown above, except the Rhodes rolls, which were .89 cents. I got a rain check for all these items sale price from a couple weeks ago. However, most of them were at the same price again. I got the rain checks so I could use the sale price, matched with manufacturer coupons, and the Albertsons "double the value" coupons. Allowing me to double my manufacture coupon. And why so many different receipts for that stuff? You can only use 3-double value coupons in a transaction. But they let you do as many transactions as you want. Definitely worth the hassle of going through the line a few times! If I had just bought all these items at the sale price I would have paid $27.14 +tax , and I only paid .89 cents+tax! And because I went earlier in the morning, I scored a great deal on ground beef! I scanned over their meat department and came across small packages of 7% fat ground beef, that had a $1 coupon on them, because the meat was put out yesterday. So I ended up with 6.2 lbs of 7% fat ground beef, for only $8.33. That's only $1.34 lbs for 7% fat ground beef! This is the best deal I have ever gotten on ground beef! I will definitely be going to Albertsons more in the morning!

This is my trip to Rite aid!

I actually really needed some liners. Free with coupons and sale this week. The "soft lips" chapstick is Jake's favorite but kind of spendy. Bought him the target brand last time at $1.88 a twin pack(I think, if not more)So I stocked up on both these items today, being on sale for .99 cents a twin pack! I just recently got my free sample box of Kashi heart to heart cereal(thanks to vocalpoint) which also came with a coupon for a free box, plus a few $1.50 of 1 box coupons. These were priced at $4.99 but were Buy 1 get one free. I thought this was my best chance to use these coupons. As rite aid allows you to use a "free" or "buy one get one free coupon" with the B1G1F sale. Making it 2 for free! I did two seperate purchases for all this stuff, so I could use two $3 off $15 purchase rite aid coupons. You can clearly see my totals in this picture! Not bad eh!?! My total was about the same price I would pay for just 2 twin packs of soft lips at Walmart. My hubby is going to love this deal!

Block letter project

I started this project over 6 months ago at a church activity. Has been sitting in my pantry just staring me down. Now that I am down the the final few days before the baby I am finding myself things to do and finish. So I finished painting the last side of all the blocks, and added a few coats where needed. Let it dry for a day, then modge podged the letters to the card stock, and the card stock to the blocks. Just added a few generous coats and let it dry for 2 days and tied on a pretty little ribbon. I am happy with the finished product. Never done block letters before. Matches my curtains, couches, and clock quite nicely. I also finally printed my favorite picture of our family (7 months old now) and got it put in a frame and on the book shelf.
And the books are all organized now as well. Which weren't yet when I took the picture that I posted on here. My next decorating project is to finish my kitchen curtains! I have them done, but haven't painted the cherries on the valance yet. So when I get that done, I will post pictures :)
