I haven't done much shopping this week but

I didn't want everyone to think I was not blogging.

Please pray for something that is on my heart. My beloved mother in law has been broken into yet again (4th time since September 07) so pray that the theives will not be able to get into her home again and her belongings returned. We really want her to sell her home and get out of that area but we have been unable to convince her of that. Plus with the housing market like it is, finding a buyer for her home would be hard. Also that the theives will leave her alone as there has been past harrassment following a breakin (they came by late at night and was knocking on windows and such, tried to come into the door, etc).

Also pray for my community as many many many people are getting laid off lately and it is hard to keep being positive when you see friend after friend lose everything they have worked so hard for. Just this week alone I know of 3 people who will lose their homes this month, and they have lost their jobs due to the economy. It is hard, and since we are still 'small town' one or two businesses laying off people can greatly effect alot of people here.

I am also struggling in my body with being very tired. I have decided to cleanse myself of caffeeine and will start doing so as of tomorrow.. so pray that this will help with why I am being so sluggish.


God bless you all!

Sunday's total

Hello Cyber dealers!
I made a fast last minute trip to HT and to CVS. HT has a last day of triples, and even though I haven't been able to get super freebies from them I have found a small amount of deals. Nothing to write home about, but Hey, a dollar saved is a dollar saved right!?!

At CVS I purchased:
stickers, 2 snowman plates, swirl decorations (all Christmas clearance) and I used up the 'little ecb's" that I had and the total was .49 after but I used a AE gift card I received for my bday last month so it was 0.00 out of pocket.

THEN I got to the real goodies at CVS~J&J swabs, Hairdye for gurl, 2 big hershey bars, blade energy drink, sparkling water 6pk, and folgers (these were ecb deals) of which I paid with ecbs so my total was only .80 oop after using ecb's and again I just used the AE gift card (there is only like $3 left on there so I am just going to use it up until theres nothing left).
total savings~$53.69

At HT I purchased:
Quick oats, smuckers uncrustablesx2, country crockx3, Frozen corn, wheat breadx2, skippy pnut butter, welch's grape jam, poweradex2, lysol clingx2, mennen deodrant, suave deodrantx4, lysol tub and tilex2, minute ricex2. Like I said nothing to write home about and the bread was bogo, but manbear is doing the 'Daniel's fast' and needed wheat bread so that added 2.89 to my expenses.
total oop $19.02
saved $47.57

So it wasn't a BAD day, but not one of the better ones.

So add to the savings to date $251.56

Left to spend $1457.57

Not too bad.. not to bad at all.

Today I only bought 2 papers since it was after 5pm when I went to get them and literally I bought the last 2 that was left at the 3rd place I went to.
