As I was searching for giveaways I saw this as the prize.. Copy of Claude & Camille by Stephanie Cowell.    I thought I saw my name! (Stephanie Coldwell) lol that was weird

Can I just say..

Can I just say.... that I HATE going through the self checkouts? I hate them because I feel like they take jobs away from people.
I had to use one the other day. It was 9:15 at night... I only got a 2 liter of Diet Pepsi... there was only one ringer and a long line! I just gave my shout out apology on Facebook so I thought it necessary to give it to the blogosphere as well... so I'M SORRY!

There is one exception... when I go to the comissary (grocery store on base) I do go through the self checkout because they put just a few things in each bag, to make it look like more bags and more work when they bring your groceries out for you and then they want a tip. So instead of telling them that I will bring them out myself, I just do it all myself. I don't think I should have to tip someone for bringing my groceries out for me, when I don't want them to because I have 2 arms and 2 legs and no kids. :)

I love coupons!

I'm just going through the grocery add that I got today, with my coupons sitting beside me, and I'm LOVING coupons right now!

I always go for the Baker's add first because my sister works there and I can get her 10% employee discount, also because I am using a gift card that I won from Kroger! So I see that Dole salad is 2/$3 and I have a coupon for $1 off 2. For a total of $2! But as soon as I looked at HyVee's Hot Deals I saw that on Saturday Dole salad is $0.88!! My coupon requires me to get 2 so I'm getting 2 bags of salad for $0.76!!

And while I thought diet pepsi was off the grocery list, I WAS WRONG! So right now at Baker's 2 liters are 10/$10. Then I looked at No Frills add and they are $0.88! YES!! That's a savings of (since I'm getting 4 bottles) $.048!!

I just love coupons! :)
I'll update this blog to share how much I spent and how much I saved.. buying only 4 boxes of Toaster Struedel* (hey it's not all for me!!), Fiber One yogurt*, salad*, Diet Pepsi, 2 half gallons of milk*, Crystal Light*, and bacon*
(I'm not sure if anything else will be on the list, haven't asked if J needs anything. But we are pretty well stocked on chicken and eggs which is all he eats so..)
