Lav-I wonder if your daughter might also be allergic to gluten? I don't think it's just in wheat. Sounds like modified Paleo diet might be the way to go for her? I sure hope however she and her naturapath decide to go she gets relief soon!
LBH-oh that poor UPS man! But your lucky garden!! No wonder you have such goreous plants! I know exactly what you mean about straying off the path we set out on in the morning. I really have to catch myself often as I stop in the middle of one chore or project and start another. It takes really concentration for me to get back to the oringinal task.
Dill-so did you walk to Indiana???? Yes these choices we have to make now adays are just rotten. My main reaons for not going to Maine last weekend was the gas. I could have swung the entry fees and my campsite was 3/4 paid for. I could not however swing the gas $$$ for 600+ miles round trip.
IMT-hope you will pop in every once in a while to check in. congrats on the 90 days!! that's fabulous!
The store was horribly slow today. I did leave at 2. Just not worth staying plus I owed the company an hour which I gave by working 3 instead of 4 hours. I did my pet food shopping there today for the month and got some great deals. They gave me 50% off of 12 cans of food and I had a $3 coupon for the boyz kibble. I am well below budget for pet food this month.
I also have been planning for a week my grocery shopping for the rest of the month. I have been eating strictly out of the fridge and freezer for the past 2 weeks and have pretty much cleaned them out. I used a site called Living Rich With Coupons | Extreme Coupon Blog, Printable Coupons & moreLiving Rich With Coupons and was able to see what the deals were at Stop and Shop and print out accompanying coupons. Planning very wisely and getting as much bang for my buck gave me a 45% savings on my purchase today and kept me $7 below my budget. I shouldn't have to buy anything more until November except maybe lettuce, mushrooms and eggs. Careful scrutiny of my receipt knocked off $.50 cents and they had to give me $5.00 back because the register never honored their "Buy 6 frozen items, get $5 back" deal.
All in all, a very productive day and proof that with enough planning, even a single gal like me can use coupons to her advantage. We'll see what next month brings.
Have a great nite everyone!!
