and this is why i love cvs....

$27.09 worth of mechandise
paid $4.63
earned $17.97 in extra care bucks.

things...

they've just been pretty crummy. i know it could be much much worse, i sometimes get so caught up in "poor poor pitiful me" business, i forget how much i have to be thankful for.

our apartment office called us today asking about our lease. yikes. we have no clue. if we were moving out, we were supposed to let them know by yesterday, but david's heard nothing, NOTHING, from anywhere. so it's like what do we do? i want to stay here if we're going to be here another year, but is a job going to work out? so many questions and no answers. that's where faith comes in. so hard to keep it sometimes. more like all the time here lately.

but i did get a really good deal today at cvs. that makes me happy. they had dove deoderant on sale for $2.50. when you bought $10 worth, you got $5 back in extra bucks. so i got 6 had a coupon for $2 off each. paid $3 plus $1.36 tax and got $5 back. not too often you can make money shopping :)

my publix bargains this week...

unfortunately, it wasn't as good this week as last week. hard to beat two right guard deoderants for .80, including tax.

so this week, i got two morningstar farms ckn nuggets (one of my fav. meatless meals), each 1.95 (bogo sale) plus a 1.00 off coupon. making them 1.45 each. and i got two sets of bic soleil razors, each 2.74 (bogo sale also) plus a 2-2.00 off coupons. making them .74 each.

total price was 5.22 with tax, total savings 14.96.

ah, the pleasure of saving....

i just saved $168.50 at old navy. how awesome is that. not only were all the men's clothes 1/2 off, but i scored the mega coupon this morning at oldnavyweekly.com. the $75 off a $100 purchase coupon. whoo hoo! it was gone within minutes. it said it would update last night but never did. i was up on and off all through the night checking. lo and behold, it updated at 7:00 this morning and i was one of the few to get it. yeah! david got an almost entire summer wardrobe. i got a couple of shirts, but i really didn't need any clothes or shoes. yeah still!
