Anyway, I did manage to do a shop today and saved $101 and only spent $1.03! Oh, and I got a $3 Catalina back from the Pillsbury promo. Yep, I did that at Albertson's, but we are in a mad rush to get things put away (well......my husband is, I'm sitting here blogging). :) So, anyway I am not able to get a picture. Anyway, if you are doing the promo on the back page of the ad and you are doing it with some Pillsbury "stuff," make sure that your $5 comes off. I have tried it at two different Albertsons and it does not want to come off. They can manually make it come off for you, so just keep an eye on that.
So, my dad is coming into town this afternoon and will be in town all weekend, so I will not have time to blog as I will be spending the next few days with my family, although all my family is not here. We have family in Oregon, Arizona, and Wyoming still. So, we will definitely miss of all them, but we will get to see most of at Christmas, which we are super excited for!
This is just a time for "me" to really think about what "I" am thankful for and really really make the most out of what "I" have and the awesome life that "I" have. "I" really really am very lucky!
So, please, yes, go get some good deals, but also take the time out for "yourself," before everything REALLY starts to get busy and "remind" yourself of what you have to be thankful for. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in "our" lives that we need to be reminded of how "great" we have it.
When I get like this, for some reason (maybe it has to do with one of my little brothers), I tend to think about all of the men and women over in Iraq and all of those crazy places "fighting" for us and the way that they have to live their everyday lives. I tend to think about how I get to sleep in my own bed, get to be annoyed with my own kiddos, get to drive in this crapy weather, get take a nap when I want, work in the comfort of my own home with my kids around me, get to drink coffee when I want, heck I can even work in my PJs if I want which I often do, and celebrate Thanksgiving with most of my family. I think about how they would give to do all of the things and then some of what I just listed.
Well, many many thanks to those men and women who are "fighting for us," and many many thanks to their families for sharing them with us, so we could go on about "our" lives like we do. THANK YOU!
I just want to take this time and tell you all (all of my supporters) and your friends and family HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I hope you all have a wonderful, happy, and safe Thanksgiving! Try not to eat too much. Can I just share that I'm not doing so well in the eating department? Can I just say that I LOVE FOOD?!
Thank you all for supporting my blog and taking the time to read what I have to share with you!! THANK YOU!!
Happy Thanksgiving!
