Walgreen Fun

Okay, I know I don't save as much as some people, but I had a lot of fun at Walgreen's yesterday! Here is what I got:
12: Mitchum Gel 2.25 Ounces: 2 for $3.79 (normally 3.99 each at walgreen's, 2.69? each at walmart).
1: 11.5 ounce Folger Hazelnut coffee: 3.99 (normally 5 something)
1: container of large Dixie plates: 1.99 (normally 3.79)
1: Excedrin Migraine, 24 pills for 1.00, (normally 5 something)
3: Colgate Wave toothbrushes for .99 each (normally 2.99)
4: toilet bowl inserts for 2/$1.00 (normally .99 each)
I had a coupon for $10.00 off your purchase of $30 or more. That brings my savings to 9.76 in coupons, 3.00 in Walgreen's money, and 30.14 in advertised savings, making my savings total: 42.90, my purchase total 24.20. That's a good deal, even just for the deodorant. I almost feel like I got everything else free!
I know, its a bit odd to buy so much deodorant, but it was a good deal. :-}

May Challenge Book

I loved A tree grows in Brooklyn! It was wonderful. It not only tells Francie's story of growing up but divulges bits and pieces of her family's past. Life was hard for her family, but they knew that it made them stronger.

Change of Plans

Our trip has been slightly altered, staying at 1 hotel instead of 2, which is handy since this one has a refrigerator and microwave, and we're skipping the 2nd waterfall. I really only wanted to see the 1 and Josh didn't really want to see the other one either, just thought we were exploring waterfalls. :-}

Britannica Online

So cool, as a blogger, I got a free 1 year subscription to Britannica Online! Too fun!
So, here is a link on an article about the library.
