Well my local Walgreens hasn’t opened yet, so we made the 20 minute trip out of town to shop the great $.39 sale yesterday. I even stocked up on candies for Halloween, and a gifts for the gals for Christmas presents.

Here is my list:

4 – Yardley Bar Soaps (Christmas presents) @ $.69 ea
2 – Walgreens Heavy Duty Plastic Forks and Spoons (hubby’s work) @ $.39 ea
2 – 1000 count Walgreens Cotton Swabs @ $.50 ea
2- bags of Dum Dums Pops (Halloween) @ $.95 ea – I had 2 coupons for $.55 off each bag
1 – Percy Train (for Thade earned with chore money) @ $4.99
2 – Deerfield Baking Soda @ $.50 ea
1- 6 count Double Roll Bounty Select paper towels (baby wipes) @ $6.00

Grand Total with tax $20.50

I ended up saving with my coupons, Walgreens coupons, and the Walgreens sale items $11.95 🙂
I made back my gas money, and got a start on the holiday purchases.

Today James was up early, just in case he had to go in to work. Luckily, he didn’t have to go in to work today. We took the boys out to help with chores in the front yard (Dylan observed), and even the weather cooperated. James suggested that we go out and get the grocery shopping done for next week, so I am a day ahead of schedule. 🙂

I’ve been doing little cleaning tasks around the house. I got the dishes all caught up, and a couple loads of laundry washed too. If I can just get Thade to take a nap, I’ll be all set.

The boys and I are going stir crazy. Luckily the weather is going to be a little bit cooler today. Once Dylan is up and fed we are going to go and run some errands. I need to gas up the car, bummer 🙁 and go to Wal-Mart too. I seem to be out of random items: toilet paper, tissues, trash bags, and James needs drinks for work too.

I’m kinda grumpy with myself. I knew that we were going to be in all week. I had all of these projects in mind that I was going to get accomplished, and I have finished none of them. I need to buckle down and get something done.

I have been paying careful attention to next weeks weather, and I thought today was going to be the best day to go out and shop. It isn’t even noon yet and already it is 96 with a heat index of 103. It is just too hot! I’ll miss out on the great deals at Walgreens this week, bummer. Our local Walgreens hasn’t opened yet, double bummer.

Both of the boys did great at the store. Thade even made a buddy at the check-out. I needed to stop off for gas, but I decided to go on home. I don’t think I’m going to go out anytime soon, so I can make that little bit of gas in the car stretch a little bit further. I even stocked up on a few extras for the week, so I don’t have to get the kids out. I hope that this heat wave will be over soon.
