Anti-Procrastination Week

Cyrstal over at biblicalwomanhoodonline has delcared this week "Anti-Procrastination Week". So get up and get something done you have been putting off. I like to use the ideas over at the Fly Lady. Sunday night I tackled that pile of papers that collects on my kitchen counter. I threw away lots of stuff and found some stuff I really needed. I should have taken a before and after picture.

Frugal Friday!

Tightwad, frugal, penny-pincher, cheap! Do you see these terms as positive or negative? At one time I probably thought someone who was frugal was like my grandmother always talking about the Depression. Oh brother, here we go again! But all my life, my mom or my grandma re-used things like paper bags, bread bags, plastic wrap, aluminum foil. I thought it was so dumb! But now I see why. Partly as en effort to be more responsible about what goes into the landfills and party to be frugal. I even learned that sometimes it is more cost-efficient to *gasp* buy the smaller container of something! Hope you have a great weekend! Here is a link to more Frugal Friday discussion.

Walgreens

I'm linking to this website because there is a $5 off Walgreens coupon good tomorrow only April 11. Happy shopping!

No, I did not take a food inventory yet. I need to get busy!

Freezer, frig and pantry inventory

I'm really feeling the need to take an inventory of the food in my freezer, refigerator and pantry. I think I should have plenty enough food to make meals for a week without grocery shopping. Unless I need milk or bread or orange juice. Speaking of OJ- it's so expensive (usually $3 for a 1/2 gallon) we usually just have one small 4 oz. glass for breakfast so we can make it last all week. I guess if I had more time I would squeeze it myself. I do water it down for the kiddo- she doesn't seem to notice yet.

CVS Diaper Deal

CVS has a baby and diaper deal this week. Buy $25 worth of select baby items and receive $10 ECB (Extra Care Bucks) back with your Extra Care card.

example:
Huggies diapers and pull-ups are on sale for $8.99. There are several $1 or $2 off coupons floating around from the newspaper or online.

I bought
3 pack Huggies Pull-Ups at $8.99
used 3 of the $2 off Huggies coupons
spent $20.97, got $10 ECB back
that's $10.97 for 3 packs of Pull-Ups
