COUPONS!!!!!
Last night my friend Teri took me and another friend, Jennifer, out to CVS and Publix to elp us how to use our coupons and earn CVS Extra Care Bucks efficiently. Teri is amazing!!!! She's only been doing this for 2 months, but boy does she have a system down! I'm not going to try and redescribe how we did this because I'm pretty sure I'll get it wrong. We used coupons (manufacturer and store coupons) and then CVS gives you Extra Care Bucks (ECBs) on certain items each week/month. This is money you can use in their store.
Here's my picture
I bought a soleil razor (with replacement cartridges), 2 gatorades, 2 boxes of always pads, 2 tubes of toothpaste, 1 glucose monitor (i'll donate this), vitamin D, 1 vitamin water and paid $2.41!!!! Crazy...I know. But totally legit. I like shopping and not paying a lot of money.
Then we went to Publix where they had lots of great stuff Buy one get one free (BOGO). Well....surprise...you can use coupons even on BOGO items! She bought 14 jars of Classico Alfredo sauce, 6 jars of mayo, 2 boxes of breadcrumbs, I believe 8-10 boxes of frozen dinners (egg rolls and stuffed chicken). She saved approx $60 and spent $29!!!! Awesome right? I can't wait to try this again by myself and see how I do this week. I was pretty excited though..it was fun.
Nicole has a new hobby. She LOVES LOVES to help me with dishes now (really that means playing in the water)
Hannah is great. She's sleeping well during naps. Still wakes early in the morning, but that's fine. she's up with the rest of us. Oh...she's in crazy spitting up stage right now. I mean ALL the time...yuck!!

You forgot the fact that you left the store with like, over $10 in extra care bucks to use next time, right? Or was it over $20?
Oh...it was about $18 in extra care bucks...woohoo!
I use coupons all the time. Up here in Ohio we have Meijers and there is this young girl (cashier) in there that hates to see me come into her line. She complains to me about all of my coupons I use. I told her, well it saves lots of money and she told me, No, they are a pain in the butt to scan every one of these and make sure you got the right stuff. I asked her, do you use coupons and she told me, well, YES I told her to stop complaining and do her job!!!!
Another thing, Nicole, when we fly down to visit you can play Candy Land with your Great Aunt Julie. Okay??? I love Candy Land!! It is alot of fun to play and does not require much brain cell usage for me. Wait until you get older and come up here to visit again, Mama Pat wants to play Scrabble and that does require brain cell usage. Of course you want some real fun...... play Scrabble with your Yaya & Mama Pat, they like to make up words...........that requires brain cell usage to challenge them. Love, Aunt Julie
WOW!!!!! I can't believe all the money that you saved, I want Teri to be my friend!!! That is really crazy!! Good job!!!
Loved the picture of you and Nicole, and always love the pictures of the girls,dang, I just love this BLOG!!
I played Candy Land with Nicole the other day, what a funny little girl, I tryed to help with the right way to play, and she kept saying NO< NO< NO, and of course we played her way. I love to be in Nicole's little world, it's fun, peaceful and unconditial.

OK...I want in on the CVS savings ideas. I'm a Publix/Macy's money-saving addict. Today, I spent $72 at Macy's for three dresses - all whose original prices would have = $594. Amazing when you hit the sales at the right time!
