My hubby grabbed Grant for soccer practice, and I grabbed Cole to be my Safeway buddy.  Cole was pretty sure he got the short end of the stick.
However, I scored.  I figured I would post, just in case any of the rest of you are last minute people!

I cleaned out the freezer case of the O Organics Lasagna.   Sorry Dallas peeps.  You took all the beans, so we are even. 
I only had (2) $1/2 Eggo coupons, so I could only buy 4 boxes.  That meant I had to …

I once asked a friend whose son was entering first grade what she was going to do all day now that all of her kids were in school full time.  She said, “Everything I did before, except better.”  I just loved her response and was SO looking forward to the day when I could get a little bit of consistency in my schedule as my youngest started Kindergarten.  Unfortunately, that still hasn’t happened!  Kindergarten? Yes. Consistency? No.
I have been going, going, going since the first day of school, and I …

A few weeks ago, I asked the Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs Facebook Fans what color I should paint my front door and you guys come up with some great color combos.  See, we were getting ready to paint our house so that it would stay in one piece over the rainy winter months, and I felt like we needed a change.  After all, if we were going to pay someone to paint the entire house, then I wanted to SEE the difference!!
Here is the BEFORE.  Please keep in mind that we …

Taking two little boys to the grocery store is torture for this mama.  TORTURE.  You know how I sometimes complain about the two of them loving on one another a little too much in the store resulting in falling down in the aisles or chasing one another around the produce?  This was not a “love” trip.  This was a, “Mom, why did you decide to have another kid?  I wish you didn’t have another kid. Why didn’t you stop at me? I don’t want my brother.” trip. True story.
{Sigh}  So, …

I have SO many things on my mind lately . . . which is probably why I haven’t written any blog posts.  I get overwhelmed.  Do you know the feeling?  SO many ideas.  SO many things to share.  It’s a bit paralyzing.
Instead of blogging about each and every idea, I decided to blog in list format.  Forgive me??  Thanks!
#1  – A new Trader Joe’s just opened up in Salem, so I went and checked it out one day after my haircut.  It’s kind of a fun place.  Blue chips.  Lots …

I am so thrilled right now! I was just reading through my blogs when I saw that Tip Junkie had mentioned a blog where the gal makes blended drinks in a Mason Jar.  Say, what??  Did you know that your blender blade can probably fit on a regular mouth canning jar?
I tested it.  It totally works on my cheapo Walmart Osterizer.

In a pint jar, I combined two cubes of frozen strawberries (I bought a 30lb bucket from a local Rotary Club. I froze some in ice cube trays.), a handful …

Can you believe I paid just $7.92 for all this!?!  My cashier congratulated me on some awesome savings when we were all done.  Hee, hee!

Some of the things you see here are just items we needed, even though I didn’t have any coupons: cheese, eggs, milk, potato bread (for French toast while camping!), chips (for camping – BOGO), hot dog buns (yep, camping), bananas, onions.  Nothing much to say about any of that.  Just basic stuff!
The grapes were a great deal @ 99¢/lb.
The mushrooms are stock-up priced at 99¢ each!  …
