$6.97 @ Target

Thanks to Target & their special Target only coupons I was able to walk out of the store with all of this for only $6.97.

$1.05

Just had to share!  I was really happy with my trip to CVS yesterday.  11 item - not just junk items but some that I really use after a stack of coupons and some CVS Extra Care Bucks cost me only $1.05.  Seriously I couldn't believe it.  I knew it was going to be low but not that low.  LOVE to coupon! Thanks to my Mom & especially my Grandma!!

FREE Paper Towels

So happy that I found the 99¢ Bounty rolls @ Target. Using the $1.00 off Bounty @ Target coupon from Sunday’s paper with a few more I had on hand in the “Binder of Savings”. I got these 4 rolls for FREE! I’m really enjoying the tips I read from other bloggers on where and how to find these deals. Mostly its super exciting when you get something for nothing. In case you were wondering the man at the register adjusted my coupons to the 99¢ value so no I didn’t get 4¢ in change.

Dear Steven Spielberg

Dear Steven Spielberg,


I really respect and enjoy the films and mini-series you have created to pay tribute to the men and women of the military. I’m sure it takes the help of many other talented people to achieve great reenactment of real events for the cinema audience however, . . . could you please cut down on the amount of time spent on running the opening and closing credits? I think I spend more time reading names than enjoying your production. Thank them ALL but a little faster would be greatly appreciated!

Dear Bullritos

If you have talked to me about food Bullritos has probably come up at some point.  Just to share here is my recent post to them via Facebook.

Dear Bullritos - I wanted a burrito SO bad yesterday I had NO choice but to go to your competitor the "F" word. I was of course disappointed but couldn't make the drive for your delicious food. This is yet another desperate plea to open a location in Pearland. Sincerely - Your fan in Pearland

Am I kidding myself?

If you know me, you know that I try very hard to be a “green” person. But sometimes I just have to do what makes life easier. So, rather than having cloth napkins at the table I still use paper towels. But here is my question – By using Select-A-Size paper towels am I cutting down on my paper waste? I only give my kids one little section per meal which is more than enough for their tiny mouth & hands.


What do you use?

I Can’t Get NO Satisfaction!!

Well. . .I’m really having a hard time getting satisfaction these days. A weekly chore of mine is to vacuum the house. Since I have a small troop of kiddos that filter in and out of my house on a daily basis I like to make certain that I get all of the Goldfish and Cheerio crumbs up and out of the carpet. Needless to say, in the past (AKA before kids) I would vacuum, look back on the work I had done and see the beautiful uniform lines of the vacuum’s good work. As I gazed on the floors I was filled with an extreme sense of satisfaction and a job well done. Now, when I look back the hard work I’ve done all I see is the already trampled lines and a team of toddlers who gleefully chase me. I can’t help but smile at them but feel sad that there is NO evidence of the hour of work I’ve just done. So much for job satisfaction!
