Time is flying by as always

Monday was a wash of a day! Went into work early, got off at normal time. Walked out the door at 4:33pm. That was a shocker to everyone. And I also left the laptop at work, but I can get onto work from home on my computer. But, I did not do any when I got home.

After work I stopped by Wal-Mart. I had some coupons burning a hole in my pocket that I wanted to redeem. I ended up getting 27 items for only $17.XX. They had South Beach powder drinks 2.00 a box, and I had 2.00 off coupons - so for free, can not pass that up. I got 7 boxes, but they only have 7 pouches in the box. Also, I got some Johnson Buddies soap bars for Gavin. They were 94cents, and I had 1.00 off coupons. Yes, they took the whole 1.00 off so I had 6cents credit towards other items. Between the ones I picked up at lunch time, the ones at Wal-Mart, and a couple at CVS after Wal-Mart I got 10 bars yesterday for Gavin and all of them were FREE! Sad thing is I found more coupons at home for the bars, so yes I will be getting those too. Jennifer has a couple of friends with little kids that could use a few bars as well. Cody thought I had gum, the soap made my car smell like bubble gum.

The big stock pile wile I have coupons and on sale has taken control over me. But can not pass up great deals. Never know when I will not have coupons and run out.I have like 10-15 things of tooth paste, but no coupons for tooth brushes. Need to get them. It is time to change out tooth brushes. Hey Cheryl, you got a couple to throw our way? Cheryl is on a coupon kick too. Really do not need any shampoo or conditionier either. And travel size items - out the ying yang too. Then in the mail I am getting samples as well. Looking for anything and everything for next to nothing. Need to add some of the links to share in the great items.CVS is one of the main places I get things from, but also have started getting some from Wal-Maert too. Cody and my mom look at me like I am insane when I come home with more bags of stuff that we already do not need. But with prices on the rise, need to stock up when I can.

Reports are ready to be worked, so I will close for now. Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Oh yeah....watched the movie 21 last night. I got a free rental from Red Box (usually found at Wal-Marts). It was good. I like Kevin Spacey and have not seen him in movies in awhile since he has mainly been doing plays. A little slow at start, but gets better. I liked the music they had in it too.

I actually have the toothbrush coupons! And got a coupon for a free Oral-B toothbrush at CVS. There were some really good coupons in this past Sunday's paper & they had a bunch for toothpaste & toothbrushes.

I hear ya, you gotta save a buck when you can. I went to Publix for BOGO last nite, and got four boxes of cereal. We also have boo-coos of Mac-n-Cheese. But, like I told DH, it's not like it's going to go bad right away, and better to get it now,and stock up,while you can for free.

I had so many bags when I got home last night I was actually afraid to take them out of the car! LOL. MY DH doesn't mind the savings but he's getting a little concerned about the storage. He suggested we go in on a storage facility for all of our deals!

OOPS I forgot to comment on the movie you got. We got that (from Redbox) last week while JH was in town. Kept my streak of Good movies in place!
