Well, I made up for my botched trip to Publix last night. I went back today and got 14 free toothpastes. With the 18 Aquafresh I got for tax earlier this week, plus the 8 from CVS, we could make the neighbor children really hate us this Halloween. But I wouldn't do that. I'm too greedy.

With the baby's big jar of applesauce (he goes through that stuff faster than diapers) I paid $3.49.

I got $20 of Aleve, a soda, and formula at CVS for $2 oop and $23.85 in ECBS. I'll...

This is an email I sent to DH about a minute ago. I am vascillating between being very angry and feeling stupid for not reviewing my insurance documents carefully. At least the policy is only 8 days old.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR at Progressive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought our insurance premiums were a little high, but I figured it was because Mom's van was added on. I was getting the policy number to renew the tag on the Hyundai, and I noticed that they have a careless driving...

Have you ever carefully planned out an awesome couponing trip, only to have it shot to pieces? And by a chicken, no less.

Very nicely done, and since I’m no fan of Luvs a quarter is about all I’d be willing to pay for them....

I want a house. I need a house. I am OBSESSED, and NOTHING will get in my way!!!!!

Except two nice, sweet older people who would rather starve to death than ask me for a red cent. :Emb:

My in-laws have never laid eyes on my son. He is their first grandchild, and my mother-in-law cries when she sees babies in the park because she wants to see Jared so badly.

The problem? The cost for one plane ticket is equal to 4 months salary for my father-in-law. ...

I am a complusive list maker. Like my mother, her mother, and her mother before her, I have lists of my lists.

My great-grandmother wrote them on the paper that came in packages of pantyhose or "nylons", as she called them. She was a thrifty one.

My grandmother wrote them on paper bags that she had cut up. Thrifty as well.
