Gotta love my Man!

And not just because it is Valentine season!

He spent the afternoon and evening hanging with his brothers and Dad and sister-in-laws and the kids. I stayed home and caught up on laundry...another post. Then I went to BINGO! Hmmmm, Bingo is how we pay for hockey. Dear husband normally works 3 nights a month at Bingo. However, this month he wasn't available for 3 nights. Since we needed the hours I had them put me on the schedule...

Oh how I hoped my night in shining armor would rescue me tonight and not make me go. Alas, I knew his time with his family was important... So I went. Oh how I love my son and appreciate my husband and all the work he does for us. Bingo isn't extremely hard, it is just tiring. I walked and walked and walked on hard tile floors all night. My legs are sore. Soon I will snuggle down in the covers for the night.

I have only worked one other time. This time was much easier. I wasn't nearly as overwhelmed as before trying to keep up with all the new lingo. But I am still amazed at how much money people spend on BINGO! Holy Cow! I am grateful to them....they are financing my son's passion for hockey.

Goodnight, I am off to sing B-I-N-G-O till I fall asleep.

A dozen roses and more at Walgreens!

So I made a late trip to Walgreens tonight. Hubby isn't going to be available this weekend to stay with kids and ummm, I don't like to take all of them to Walgreens. My oldest groans if I ask her to sit while I am at Walgreens. She knows with a list like tonight it is going to be anything but in and out. My only groan is I forgot to use the in-ad Q for the Progresso soup so I spent $3.50 more than I planned. ERGH. But I am not going back in to the store just to fix $3.50.

Cause I got all this pictured above for $67.54 oop.

I am going to get $17.60 back in Walgreen rebates ($26 + 10% for putting it on a gift card)

I still have $12.00 in RR from the Gillete Razors.
I bought 9 in total.
Received $54 in RR. And used $42 for my last purchase.

So overall I saved $174.11.

If I adjust the 67.54 - rebates 17.60 = $49.94
$49.94 - RR left $12.00= $37.94 is what this trip cost me.

Now in case you are wondering about the dozen roses bit.......
I found "dozen roses" in the Valentine Candy section. In a little mesh baggie were a dozen chocolate rose buds for a buck or two. Got a set for hubby and a set for me.
Just might be my favorite kind of roses. They smell good, don't die and taste yummy!
