Money

I work on Sundays. In the morning, I walk over to the Greyhound Station (that's right- I work next door to the Greyhound Station) and purchase myself a newspaper. Throughout the day I read most of the sections..... but I like to save one part for when I can really sink my teeth into it. That part:

The ads.

I love to clip coupons. Sometimes I use them, sometimes they expire before I get to the store. Whatev. I feel like I'm doing myself a huge favor by cutting them out, or even knowing about the good deals out there. 

The point is this- Last night, I went to Walgreen's with my coupons and a plan. I bought 2 bottles of Windex, 1 bottle of Shout, Pantene shampoo AND conditioner, 6 bars of Irish Spring, 3 cans of tomato sauce and 3 small bottles of Palmolive for $26.74. It would have been less if I hadn't also thrown in a 2 liter of Coke. Anyway, the bill without coupons would have been $44.16. I'm feeling pretty good. 

(I know that some people manage to pay like $4.32 for all of that stuff....but I'm still happy with it).

And just for good measure, here is a picture of Shea as we left Spaghetti Factory a few weeks ago. She was saying, "I have no body! I can't walk! I'm just a head!"


Have a great day.
