Today's shopping trip

Today was a great shopping day. I picked up a few of the Walgreen's freebies and then headed to Albertson's. I made one trip through and then came back at night. On my second trip I actually made $.07! I got 2 bags of cheetos, 2 bags of Albertson's chips, 3 boxes of Trix, 4 bags of Chex mix and 13 boxes of Betty Crocker cake mix for $21.43. Then they gave me 2 $10 Catalina's for my next purchase and a $1.50 off General Mills cereal. I had coupons on everything plus one of my $10 catalina's from the morning trip. Last I went to Smith's and got a bag of apples (to compensate for all the junk food at Albertson's), a case of bottled water, and 3 boxes of Cherrios for $9.33. I love food anyway but FREE FOOD (or practically free) is my very favorite.

Sharing Talents

I believe there is nothing better than sharing. Sharing our talents, a positive outlook on life, or our physical means. In that spirit I found this great post at
www.findingjoyinthejourney.blogspot.com and wanted to pass it on. I was the first person to comment (so excited) and now I am sharing it with you - you could be the next winner.

The first five people...to leave a comment on this blog will receive something made by me. However there are some limitations:
1. I make no guarantee that you will like what I make :)
2. What I create will be just for you
3. It will be done within a year (might take a while)
4. You have no clue what it is going to be
5. I reserve the right to do something really fun

Here's the catch: if you choose to do this, you must post this on your blog and be ready to make something for five people too. This will be fun! When you receive the fabulous item I make you, you must post a picture of it on your blog.
