Back Home

Well we finally have power! That is fantastic news. We did, however, loose all of the food in our refrigerator despite our desperate attempts to keep them cool :( What a waste of money!! I had several pounds of ground beef, chicken, steaks, a huge thing of beef brisket not to mention frozen veggies, condiments, lunch meat, fresh fruit and veggies etc. Very sad day here!

I did do some shopping now that we are home. I had two trips that look like this.

Wags

Ghost Candle Holder 1.99
Strobe Light with Sound (Halloween) 9.99

Will receive $1 for the Glade and $4.99 for the Nivea in Rebates, so profit of $5.88. I will add the rebates when they come though.


Because of the storm, I was also able to do two more sets of Robitussin even though the deal is over.

Total oop 5.94 got $20 in RR

My second trip was to Walmart. Also pictured is part of a trade I did.


I was thinking of whether or not to include my kids Christmas presents. I decided I will, so those are included too. This wasn't a great trip, but I got some things we needed.

Foam Mattress Thing $20.22
Huggies Wipes 2.36
Huggies Body Wash 2.77
Clean Team Wipes 2.38
Tshirt 4.50
Baby onsie 3.50
baby shirt 3.50
Dora Camera $9 (clearance)
Keyboard $10
Total 58.23
-.50 huggies q
-$2 Huggies bath when you buy wipes
Total OOP with Tax 60.33

However, for this we are going to call it $26.00 as I don't want to include clothing or the mattress cover in my yearly budget for food and hba.

Also, my friend Amanda, whos blog is posted to the left, and I did a trade. Just Bunches Cereal and Franks Red Hot (from me) for her 2 $5 Enfamil checks. She also gave me 2 gallons of milk!!!
