Well, I sort of screwed this one up. Eh. I'm new at this, I expect to screw up a few times, and in the end it's all good. #2 should have had the toothbrushes, not the allergy pills. Blah.

I rode my bike out to CVS-T today and cleaned up on the monthly freebies. Whatever we don't end up keeping we'll donate to a shelter.

Something else went a little funky with the toothpaste stuff. Either I somehow bought the wrong stuff, the ECB didn't show up or print, or I didn't...

My first double-transaction experience. I did the two-item first, so my husband wouldn't get jittery and impatient (: Thank the gods for self-checkout lines.

Meijer is where we do quite a bit of our shopping, and since there's no ECBs to worry about I'll just post the totals and coupons and in-store deals and not bother listing EVERYTHING WE BOUGHT.
