Friday Finals – Lots of Drugstore Savings

We had a great first week of school this week. I think we are back into our routine. I was so proud of Little Miss. She looked nice everyday. I mean to say that her socks matched her shirt and hair accessory and she wore jewelry! This is the year I don’t have to tell her to go back upstairs and change because I just don’t think what she is wearing goes together.

Today while we were making Cranberry Pumpkin Muffins, Little Face loves making up new words. The new word today was “yumlicious!” He is too funny. 

It was nice to go shopping without the kids this time. I do miss them greatly, but I also really like my quite time. It helps me keep my sanity!

I spent $16.00 and saved $0.10 on $16.10 worth of food at Sprouts this week. Sprouts is a farmers Market. The produce prices are way lower than at any grocery store in my area. So I save a lot more just by shopping here.


Altogether I spent $60.06 and saved $59.39 on $119.45 worth of food and other items this week.

Friday Finals – Kroger Mega Event, Tom Thumb, Sprouts, Walgreens

Wow I can’t believe it is Friday already. This week has flown by. I have all kinds of news today I am excited to share. First I am glad the week after vacation is over. This has been a tough week, since we had to adjust to the time change this week and getting back in the groove of everything. I also have been working on several giveaways that will be coming up in the next few weeks. I am very excited about a product review and giveaway with a green products company. Come back in a few weeks when this is up. 


I have another announcement of my LINKY Party List page. Do you have a linky you post every week? Share you link with others under the categories I have provided. One for recipes and crafts Link Parties by day and lower on the same page Shopping link Parties by day.

Friday Finals – Kroger, Tom Thumb, Sprouts, Walgreens, CVS

I have been a shopping fool this week. I am over budget again, but I am not shopping next week for sure. Sometimes a good deal is hard to pass up. With prices increasing and the amount on the coupons decreasing, if I find a deal I grab it. However, I think I am buying more wants than needs lately. I need to reassess my shopping and cut back to needs only.

Stop by to see the great shopping trips from these fabulous sites from last week. The top clickiest from last week are:
