Jeremy's birthday & of course....CVS!

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband and sweet daddy to my girls! Jeremy is finally my age...no more "almost 30" jokes for 3 more months! His birthday started off with me taking a shopping trip to CVS (see below). Of course I came home with Dunkin Donuts for breakfast. We then played outside for a little while and finished the morning by going to the park. This wasn't a usual park outing though. We went to the soccer fields, kicked around a kick ball and ate lunch on blankets. It is BEAUTIFUL outside today. Oh...just wonderful! The sun is warm enough to keep your skin warm, and the breeze is cool enough to keep your cool. It's a perfect day! Now Jeremy is golfing with some friends. I'm so happy he can have such a nice and relaxing birthday:-) I hope he's had a great day!

Here are a few pics from the park (well the first one is Jeremy teaching Nicole to play softball the other day at home).

Hannah wouldn't let her feet touch the prickly grass:-)







CVS


This was the big morning I've been looking forward to. CVS had some great deals.

I bought
~4 bags of Pull-ups
~2bags of Brach's candy corn
~5 packages of 2 toothbrushes
~1 tube of toothpaste
~1 Powerade
~1 bottle of excedrin
~1 Just for men (I'll explain)

I spent $2.28!!!! Can I get a woot woot??? hahaha

Baby items had a deal, buy $30 worth and get 10 ECB (Extra care bucks). I bought the Excedrin for $1.99 but I had a $2.00off coupon, so it was free. Everything else, I got the same dollar amount in extra care bucks that I spent, so it was like getting it for free. Plus, the Just for men has a $7.00 mail in rebate. This doesn't seem fair does it? I know! But, the manager was the one to check us out today and we were talking to him about the program. It's just crazy. I'm so happy that I can buy items for our family without spending a lot of money. What a blessing.

OK in the past 2 weeks...I've bought $126.67 worth of merchandise, I've used $50.74 in coupons, I've spent $71.44 in ECB, I've earned $76.45 in ECB and my total Out of pocket expense (cash I've paid) is $5.34!!!!! Amazing.


Now I'm off to make my shopping list for Publix. No huge sales blaring at me right now, but I'll let you know if I find something good.

PS...sorry about the format today. I'm having issues getting pictures and text lined up.
