This Week’s Grocery Trip

I have a renewed appreciation for those who work full-time and still manage to keep their homes clean and refrigerators full.
After a busy week of settling into my new subbing assignment and attending two soccer games and a football game, I’ve scarcely had time to wiggle, much less look at my coupons.
Thank goodness for weekends!  [...]

Free Tuna and Other Finds

If you’re like me, Mondays are usually not good days.  We’ll just say that my alarm and I don’t get along very well.
That’s one reason why I find it refreshing to have Mondays off…just to make the adjustment easier.
Today, though, I woke up knowing I would be making a visit to my local auto repair [...]

Teaching the Teacher

Saturday was jam-packed with activities…mostly shopping-related.
The day started off with a phone call to Rooster’s 9th grade English teacher.  I’ve had the privilege of subbing for her quite a few times.  Her students are well-behaved, and I know it’s due, in great part, to her leadership.
I stopped by her classroom last week to chat, and [...]

AuburnChick Pays a Quarter for Shampoo

Does your store have shelves with clearance items?  Target typically uses the endcaps on the inside ends of the aisles to display their “must-get-rid-of’s.”  My Publix has a small, four-sided shelving unit near the registers for these types of items, and I look at it every time I go to the store.  I’ve gotten things [...]

It Pays to Listen

I had a ton [...]

Spook-tacular Shopping Bags

Today I went to Target and picked up a few items.  For every two bags of M&M’s you purchase this week, you get a free, reusable shopping bag.

Although I’m not a huge fan of Halloween, these bags were simply too good to pass up (as were the M&M’s).  I didn’t get to use my bags [...]

My Week in Pictures

I spent most of the week in bed, recovering from a cold.  So, I didn’t take too many pictures from the week.  I sincerely doubt that you would get much of a thrill from looking at kleenex boxes and used tissues.  Blech.
Here’s what I did manage to capture…

Dessert, Anyone?

I’ve been under the weather this week…thus, the lack of posts the past few days.
Despite being sick, I still managed to drag myself out to a couple of stores to take advantage of last week’s sales.
My favorite deal was the B1G1 on Weight Watcher’s frozen desserts.
During two separate trips, I picked up the following…
Did your [...]
