So, here I was convinced that David’s Crabapple Tree would not survive after being planted only a few days before we had our first freeze and snow. We didn’t even water it except for when it was planted.
Yesterday we had our Easter Egg Hunt at church and the Easter bunny made an appearance there. As you can see Brooke was not too sure about sitting in the Easter bunny’s lap.
I just thought I’d let you know that I am currently posting a series, over at Mommy’s Idea Book, on learning to use coupons effectively.
David got another 100% report card this nine weeks and got a ribbon at his award’s ceremony today at school.
Brooke is obsessed with Princesses and pretends to be one at some point every day. Tonight she got all decked out in a pretty little dress her Aunt Janna and Uncle Richard got her for Christmas.
CVS 1/6/10
CVS
Cash Paid Out – $7.54
Here’s how I did it:
(For a tutorial on how to work CVS deals, go here.)
I started out with $9 ECB’s (Extra Care Bucks) from a prior shopping trip.
Deals I chose to do this week:
Get $3 ECBs when you purchase Oust Sanitizer (limit 3)
Get $5 ECBs when you purchase $10 in Nivea products (limit 1)
Get $2 ECBs when you purchase Irish Spring Soap 8pk (limit 3)
Bought:
2 Oust Sanitizer Sprays $3.99 ea
4 Nivea Lip Care $2.99 ea
1 Irish Spring Soap 8 pk $4.99
Used:
(1) BOGO Oust Air Sanitizer SS 1/3
(2) BOGO Nivea Lip Care .17 oz RP 1/3
(1) .20/1 Irish Spring Multi-bar soap packs (3 pk +)
Sub-total: $14.96 + tax**
Minus – $9 ECBs from prior trip
Total Due: $5.98 + tax**
Earned: $6 ECBs, $5 ECBs, $2 ECBs = $13 ECBs
**The tax is always a little less than what I figure it should be based on the original total. It doesn’t ever work out exactly right when I use ECBs to pay for part of my purchases. I have no complaints though because that just means less out of my pocket.
