Safeway Run....

Gosh, I am still sooooooo tired. I don't know about you, but I'm still dragging. I just can't convince this ol' body of mine that the time change was okay. I try to limit myself to one coffee a day, but I'm thinking I'm gonna have another cup......Anyway, Blakey and I headed out this morning to "try" the McCormick deal at Safeway, and here is what we came away with.....

Well, let me just say that things didn't go as planned. I messed up AGAIN!!! I was just too excited to see if this would work or not. The deal was supposed to be buy three get the Catalina back for $2.50. Well, I bought four, plus the one crusting (which I didn't think it, the crusting, would work towards the Catalina, but it was only $0.99 after my coupon and I was using four $1.25 Catalinas so it would pay for it). Anyway, I GOT NO CATALINA BACK. :( So, my guess is that the Grinders are not part of this deal. I did put a call into Catalina to see and they are supposed to call me back on Monday with clarification. I have a feeling they are not part of the deal. :( Bummer.... That's okay, I will still use them. We go through garlic salt around here like no tomorrow. WE LOVE IT!! I put it in just about EVERYTHING. So, this was a nice way for me to score some FREE garlic salt. And, the crusting....well.....it just looked good. I wanted to give it a try. It doesn't look like it will be too bad in the points department for my daily calorie budget. :)

McCormick Grinders 2 for $4 X4
-$1/1 from recent insert X4
=$4, making them $1 each!

McCormick Crusting $1.99
-$1/1 from recent insert
=$0.99

-(4) $1.25 Catalina from previous transactions

=FREE!!! I saved a total of $15.16!

Did you try the Cat deal? Did it work for you?

Hey all..

I am still busy with work over here. Hopefully, things will be better when my new computer gets here. Anyway, I just wanted to give you all an update and let you know that I am just busy with work right now and it is not as easy for me to post with this computer not working to full capacity. uggg! My Java is "broke" and we have tried lots of things to get it fixed. The gentleman that was looking at my computer has suggested that we "wipe" it. :( I don't really want to do that, but it sounds like IS necessary. So, we are going to wait until the "other" one gets here before we do that though. I WISH IT WOULD HURRY UP AND GET HERE THOUGH! 'Cause this really stinks.

Anyway, if I don't talk to you later....HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

Kraft First Taste=FREE Jell-O Temptations

Wahoo!! Have you checked your Kraft First Taste account today? Well, I just did and I had a FREE Jell-O Temptation offer in my account! YUM!!! I can't wait 'till I get my coupon.

You don't have a Kraft First Taste account? Well, just go on over here and sign up, so you can receive these GREAT offers in the future. This is really a GREAT program to belong too. They usually send out coupons for FREE items of new items they have coming out. One of the REALLY cool things is that sometimes they even send you a coupon or two to share with your friends and family too! This is a GREAT way to for you to try something new without having to pay for it and it helps them too, as you need to do a follow-up survey to let them know how much you and your family either enjoyed the product or did not. So, it is really a win-win situation for the both of us (Kraft and our families), and a great way to be in the know. If you poke around on their site too, they have some GREAT information out there.

Thanks for the heads up Mojo Savings!

Hey all....

I just wanted to give you all a heads up that I am SWAMPED over here in work! Yes, that is a good and a bad thing. Good because I have work and I still have to make up $ for the day that I missed out on last week because of "you know who." (Yes, my grumpy computer) shhhhh. Bad because I would like to be just sitting around "eating Bon Bons," and cause I can't be with you all. :( Anyway, I just wanted to give you all a heads up, just in case you were wondering.

Of note.....Today, I am on cloud nine as I did get THE BEST compliment this morning. I was told that "you are a pretty cool mom. I bet all my friends are jealous of me because you're sooooo cool!" WOW, thanks Faithy! She was pretty excited becuase I had a bunch of hair clips and stuff  like that that I had used years ago, and I got them out for her to check out and she LOVED them! :) Too cute!

Anyway, I'm off to make my budget......Wish me luck! :)
