My oop this week at Publix was a little higher than usual, but I should receive back about $26.00 in rebates!

I bought:

1 bag ice (immediate need for DH's fish catch)
1 bottom round roast (will send in for Corona beef rebate)

6 bags Lay's BBQ chips (Dos Equis rebate)
6 avocados (another Dos Equis rebate)
2 bags Publix original potato chips (penny...

I did a really huge shopping run on Monday--two transactions at Publix and several at CVS, so I haven't really needed to go anywhere much this week!

Lots of fun, but my rebating suffered--I sat down today...

My oldest son, Evan, in March entered the Reading Rainbow story contest for Alabama and won third place for the kindergarten division! So today was the awards ceremony at the Alabama Book Fair. He was presented with his award--a prize package from Alabama Public Television, a $25 Books-a-Million gift card, and a $50 Wal-Mart card--I was excited about that one! He read his story for the audience, which included his...

I looked up Carraba's customer service number today because I thought it wouldn't hurt to call and just see if they can replace my lost gift card, even though the cards say "Lost or stolen gift cards will not be replaced."
