deals

I love a good deal!

Check out my new fun shoes...

$8.48 on clearance at Target!

I made a Kroger run today & also found some great deals.

When you buy 10 participating items you get $5 off your total purchase.

I ended up buying 20 participating items to get $10 off...

On top of that, I had coupons for some stuff, so for instance...

Hunts canned diced tomatoes were $.49 if you bought them as part of the participating item sale.

I LOVE Hunts canned tomatoes. I use them a LOT!

I had 2 coupons for them...$.45 off of 3 & $1 off of 4.

With Kroger doubling the $.45 coupon, I got 7 cans of Hunts tomatoes for $1.53!!!

Can't beat that...

I LOVE SAVING $$$!

Queen Fest 2010

(At last I return from my blog hiatus!)

Mom, Cheri, Sissy, Jennifer & I enjoyed the long weekend at Hilton Head, S.C.

For many years my mom, Sissy, and Peppes had a tradition of going for a girls weekend.

This year, Sissy & mom invited all of us "other girls" to come along.

We missed having Abbey along but she was with us in spirit!

We had a great time eating out, shopping (lots & lots!), indulging in chocolate fondue, laughing, playing games, and recalling memories of Peppes.

Here are a couple of pictures from our "Queen Fest"...

don't forget...

Don't forget that you can recycle the front of your Christmas cards by sending them to:

St. Jude's Ranch for Children

Recycled Card Program

100 St. Jude's Street

Boulder City, NV 89005

They allow the children to reconstruct them into new cards for various ocassions...what a good idea!
