I'm addicted... to grocery shopping! Lol. It's truly ironic that I have to "buy" so much processed junk (mostly Hamburger Helper) to get what I WANT (healthy foods) for free. I "bought" 50 boxes of Hamburger Helper to make a profit of $22.50 so that I could get my skim milk, eggs, chicken, gala apples, celery, baby carrots for free. Thank you, Acme Food Markets, for your fabulous deals! :)

Obviously, I'm in a better mood today. I feel like I've been so moody lately! One day up, one day down. Oh well~ such is life.

My parents are visiting this weekend and I'm excited to see them! I'm making them a brunch that consists entirely of foods and drinks that I've obtained at no cost to me on a "net" basis. I know my dad is going to be impressed by my frugality. He's the kind of guy who will find a discarded baseball cap at the beach, pick it up, say "this is a perfectly good hat" and start wearing it. I hope I'm never THAT bad lol.

Gratitude:
1) Family visiting
2) Brisk fall weather
3) Another employee appreciation day= free lunch!

Have a nice Thursday friends. :)

You are awesome with those coupons. Great job with all that saving. I hope you have lots of fun with your parents. I am going to see Ashley next week. I am off on Friday so I am probably driving up their on Thursday night and leaving during the daylight hours on Saturday. Have a great day today and so happy your spirits have been lifted today!!

okay... so the other day i stocked my outdoor fridge w/ soda (for parties/guests) if I bought 4, i'd get a 4 dollar credit (like buying 4 12pks for $8) 2 each is fab and I'd get $4 credit right? So I bought $7 body soap -minus- the 4 credit, I got it for $3. Not free but cheap, right? Why does it feel like I still bought sodas and soap for full price!? Did I do this wrong??? hahaha

Cindy what is your grocery store out there? I wonder if it's Albertsons... people always think they are expensive but they have GREAT deals.
