Kroger/CVS


Ok... Kroger run. I boo-boo'd and spent more than I wanted because I thought I had an eSAVERS Q loaded onto my card for B1G1 Pantene shampoo.... it was buy 1 Pantene Shampoo, get 1 styler free.

.... so annoyed.

So I spent $4 more than I REALLY wanted to spend because I thought I'd be paying 49 cents for 2 shampoos! ARGH!And I don't even know if I can use them toward the P&G coupon book because they rang up as plain ol' "Shampoo" on the receipt!!! Double ARGH! Ok, vent over.

8 bounty single roll paper towels
11 Tropicana 2 liters
3 Pounce cat treats
1 pouch of dog treats
1 half-gallon skim milk
2 bags of Kroger tortilla chips
2 Pantene shampoos
2 cans of beans
------------------------
$53.33 (this is including tax)
-$13.00 (store coupons for using a kroger card)
-$20.50 Manu Q's
---------------------
$19.83 paid. 64% saved.

Then headed to CVS.

6 bottles of dawn
1 box of hot pockets (for hubby's lunch)
-------------------------
$12.83 (not including tax)
-$4.47 (using my card, dawn B1G1)
-$3.00 (dawn Q's)
-----------------------

Ok, my website

Not too many people know this, but I've been a nerd about websites for YEARS. I taught myself html when I was in 6th grade because I wanted to make up my own website for Sailor Moon.

Now they make programs that do it for you. It's so nice! But it's nice to also understand what the html is doing in case the program screws up and you have to find the boo-boo.

I used to have my website at http://www.krystalily.com/ but the hosting business sucked and didn't get back to me about renewing my domain in time, so I moved it while giving them the middle finger and saying eff you. They weren't getting my business anymore.

So where did I move it?

To here: My website

It's not as good as Pioneer Woman's, but it'll do. :P Not all of us can be as interesting as Ree!

I'm having a good hair day


It's raining out. I'm waiting for the mailperson to get here so I can run out to CVS. I am also waiting on DH's package. Do I really want to go out and risk not getting DH's present? Decisions, decisions, decisions.

A lazy day

Today I may or may not venture out. I feel really lazy. DH's present came and Sammie pounced on the Fedex guy! He was like "Call her, go ahead, you call her" and I'm like "Sammie! Get inside! Go! Inside!" and she'd go in, but she'd immediately come running out, barking at the guy again. I think she was in love!

For those who haven't seen a picture of my dog, here she is!

CVS and Kroger

DH and I went to CVS (omg he actually enjoyed walking around in there! Woo hoo!) and Kroger. I had to get my meds and I asked the cashier at the front desk about my raincheck, which she signed the person's name for them. Anyways, not counting my meds, we paid NADA for everything! In fact, we got back $2.30!

CVS - 2 J&J First Aid trial size kits, box of 10 twinkies (oh that hubby of mine!), and Reinventing Beauty Mag. Spent 5 ecb's for that.

Kroger - 3 bottles of Tropicana, 2 bottles of Verners Ginger Ale, 4 boxes of Banquet Pot Pies, 1 bottle of Parmesan Cheese.

freefood

FREE! *dances in da street* Oh wait, it's feelin like -8 degrees out here, maybe I shouldn't do that!

117% savings! At Kroger, we saved $14.27 in store coupons and manu coupons. :)
