**Guess where I get to go today?? That's right...the ortho dr. with teen daughter!! :)Ever since my post yesterday, where I was lamenting the fact that my brain has turned to mush and I can't think of a thing to fix for supper, I have been revived due to the fact that I received some excellent tips from Lola over at Lola's Diner and Jeannie over at Jeannie's Happy World.
I already tried one of the recipes that Jeannie sent me, and as soon as I have her permission, I am going to post it. It was incredibly YUMMY!! SonyaAnn and Lin....I think that your family will like it as much as I did!! More on the meals later....
Then, since I was feeling all energetic, I decided to head out for a bike ride and stop at the local grocery store on the way back home. So, off I pedaled with my trusty eco-friendly bag on my shoulder and my cell phone in my pocket, just in case hubby wondered where I was, and I proceeded to bike around the town. Boy, it sure is nice to have cool weather for a change, and to feel the brisk-ness in the air. Yes, I am soooo ready for Fall!
Anyway, I made it to the grocery store and since I had my COUPONS in my eco-bag (did you really think that I'd forget them! LOL), I proceeded to snag some deals. Of course, you gals that live in Big Town/Big World get to snag INCREDIBLE deals, and I love reading about them, but, *sigh,* I gotta take what I can get!
I purchased:
(2) pkgs. Tyson fresh tenderloins @ $1.99/lb, purchased 4 lbs, *had (2) .50 off coupons
(1) Crunchy Jif peanut butter on sale for $2.00
(1) Smuckers Grape Jam $2.29 *had coupon for $1.00 off Smuckers and Jif
(1) Gallon of Skim Milk $2.29 *had coupon for $.50 off milk wyb Welch's jam
(1) Welch's Grape Jam $1.69 *had coupon for $.75 off jam
I biked home a very happy shopper! When I got home, I was looking for a Domino sugar coupon, because the local store has it on sale for $1.79, and I thought I had a coupon. I couldn't find it at the store, and I couldn't find it at home, so what's the next best thing? Searching the trusty internet, of course! Lo and behold, I found one, and I thought I'd post it and share it with all of you! I printed two and intend to go back tomorrow and buy some!

While I was there, I looked around Budget Help$ blog and I found *YAY* this awesome coupon for glade! It is a high value one, so hurry on over there before they are all gone. I put in the zip code that was listed, and it worked great!

**Again, Big Thanks to Budget Helpers for the great info!! **
I bet you were so cute on you bike! My question is what would you do if you found so many good deals that you couldn't bike home with them all? ;)
ReplyDeleteHow lucky are you to get to go out and ride a bike. Here in Vegas It is still 90 degrees out at 9:00pm, I can't wait for cooler weather. I do think it is pretty cool That you do get out and ride your bike. I tried riding my bike to work. But most of the time its to HOT or to cold in the winter. Have a great week. Thanks for sharing all your great deals.
ReplyDeletehi Marie...waaaaaa....bike riding to the store?....wish I can do that....great job! great way to exercise as well....:)
ReplyDeleteSonyaAnn....believe me, no matter how much I purchase, if I have too much to fit on my bike, I can always, always find a friend in the store to drive the extra groceries home for me. That is the beauty of living in my small-town! But, usually I manage okay on my own: I have a front basket and side baskets on the back. I bought the bike from a kid who used to have a paper route, and boy, are those baskets sturdy!
ReplyDeleteOr, sometimes, I pull the wagon up there and put all my groceries in it. It is the old wagon that I used to pull the now-teens in(little tykes?) that has high sides on it, and it fits about 4 brown paper sacks and whatever else I can pack around those. People in small-town are used to me; they just smile and wave when they see me! LOL
Come on over sometime; we'll go grocery shopping together and see how much we can fit in the baskets and in the wagon! I'll be nice and let you have the bike! :)
Linda and Dhemz...you can come along, too, and sit in wagon! HAHAHAHA
