Here's what I did today -
First transaction:
Got 2 packs of Trident Xtra Gum -

CVS has them on sale B1G1 free. I also had a B1G1 free coupon from the paper, making these two packs of gum free, PLUS I got $1 ECB.
Second transaction:
2 pack Oral B Indicator toothbrushes -

*note, I actually bought a 2-pack. The picture I snagged from google had the wrong label on it - sorry!
$4.99 (CVS had them on sale down from $5.99)
-$1 coupon from the paper
-$4 ECBs
Free, PLUS I got another $2 ECB.
Third transaction:
4 bottles of Loreal Vive Pro Shampoo and Conditioner (2 bottles of each).

CVS had them B1G1, and I had 2 B1G1 coupons. I used both! And got 4 bottles for free! I also had a $1 off any Loreal product coupon from the paper, so I made a dollar here.
I got 3 bottles of Garnier Nutrisse conditioner. I always seem to run out of conditioner way faster than shampoo.

CVS had them on sale for 3 for $9.99. I also had 2 separate coupons - one for $1 off and one for $2 off, making these $6.99 for all three bottles. Also, something cool to note here, all these bottles had 2 free trial size bottles taped onto them. So I also got 6 trial sized bottles of Garnier shampoo/conditioners for free!
And the last thing was the ALL 32-loads liquid detergent. I found $1 printable coupons on the internet, and CVS had these on sale for B1G1 free, bringing the price down to $4.49 for two bottles after the sale price and the $2 in coupons.

So, after it rang up, I still had $6 in ECBs to use, which brought my grand total down to...
$4.86 after tax. For all that stuff.
Believe it!
CVS rocks my socks off. It should rock yours off, too.

If you're reading my public entry blogs because you're interested in my crappy photog skillz, then I feel it's only right to let you know that my BRAND! NEW! MEMORY! CARD! and memory card reader was stolen during my last week of employment with Intervoice. That's what I get for leaving it there overnight. Oh well.
Although I have another memory card, I've just not gotten around to getting a new card reader, and that's why you're not seeing new daily photos.
I'm sure you're not TOO heartbroken, considering some of the photos I've posted in the past.
Love to all!!

FYI - if you're not interested in using this account, and you're telling yourself that you're not signing up because I don't use a PayPal account anyway, then at least sign up and donate that money to a charity. IT'S FREE MONEY, PEOPLE. Do you realize how many charities could use $25, even if you think you don't need it?? :)
Just a little guilt tactic. Hopefully it works. LOL

I did it. And you should, too.
There are literally no strings attached. I've looked all over the web for anything negative regarding this company, and so far, all I've heard are good things. I hope you'll try it, too - just click my link (which will give me $10!!) and open your own account.
All this is, is an attempt to throw PayPal off their high pedestal. We'll see if it actually takes off or not. :)

Every year, they are all yellow, but this one is going to be purple!! It's like it morphed or something!


In our fence!


We had the fence restained, but it seems that the stain did not take in some places, so they are coming back out tomorrow for a 2nd coat.
After tomorrow, I'll post better pics - I have flowers planted now, and I'll have the chair cushions back on the chaise lounges...

These are in my backyard. So GORGEOUS! They only last a couple of days, but I have enough stalks that there always seem to be some in bloom. !!!


I watched this ALL THE TIME when I was a kid.
Wow. Just dated myself.

BIRTHDAY PRESENTS!!!

The most delicious smelling candle and hand cream you can imagine. And the cutest note cards - I'll be using these as Thank-You cards (for the birthday party I had) ASAP.
I love them all. Thank you so much, Julie!
