When my boys outgrew all their pj's with footies, they started wearing socks with the bottoms that didn't come with footies. Would that be easier to draw blood?

Ok. I rarely post too much personal info 'cause I'm trying to shop Cool iykwim! But I read so much of your stories here and just have to share...

I broke my foot last week! And let me tell you that shopping incognito just isn't possible in those electric carts! I have a cast on my foot because the bone I broke is usually tough to heal. And the crutches are KILLING my arms and hands. I have put extra padding on them, but it just doesn't really help.

But thank goodness it is my left foot and I can still drive. My boys are back in school, so I don't have to entertain them as much. And dh is totally getting on board with this coupon shopping! He even snatched 2 hw peelies for me at the grocery store today! Big Grin

But it totally sucks that I can't go shopping on my own because I can't carry the bags. I will have to drag dh and kids to at least 2 targets tomorrow for the gc deal and also to km because I have to use up some 8/31 pet food q's. And then they all get to go to cvs'ing w/ me on Monday because I got the 5/30 in my email...

Ok. Rant over. I will stop feeling sorry for myself now! Wink

he can't wear socks at night, circulation issues to the feet. But thanks. I need to dig out the old blanket sleeper from last year and see if that works. I thought of it today when I walked by one at TJ Maxx. Sometimes it's the obvious.

Just spent over 90 minutes tossing q's. Found some serious gems in there. Hubby's gonna kill me but I'm going to have to try to run to T tomorrow for these 8/31's I found. Too easy to sell this stuff at tag sale next week.

Not quoting all the things I've read, it's a hot lazy night here too.

laugh out loud at lots of hot dogs - went to my grocery store (only bogo here) and koolaid was only 10 cents a pack, nice change from 20-25 at other stores. For a LOT of hotdogs and koolaid, it was 2.10... young teenage boy cashier looks at my total and the coupons and goes "whoa... holy sh*t" I nearly died laughing, it was SO funny

hug We need to find you a coupon and shopping buddy for a while Comfort hope it heals fine and that you start to feel more comfortable soon hug

Had another go at Wags... it was heaven. Pure heaven. Had things in stock at this store, 2 WONDERFUL cashiers in beauty area were so excited for me to save money and use coupons. Made me feel a lot better about Wags (I still hate them vomit just not this store Wink ) Got all but 2 FAR Sept items - and oooh did you guys see they added the vacuum bags again to be FAR? Not in the booklets but it shows up online now where you add receipts.

Anyone been to a Culvers? yum. Had bogo coupons for food and double scoop sundaes there tonight - more heaven.

And we did laundry tonight. Whee I'm not a complete shopaholic! I swear!

Oh oh more good night - I got vocalpoint Kashi coupons in the mail Whee Yahoo!

I agree with Jen, Mama. Don't beat yourself up, what's done is done. Just stick with things you're comfortable with next time. hug
You know, I had never even noticed them and had pretzels of not told me I never would have paid attention. You can barely tell...the only difference is the top isn't ripped off.

Quote from teri037 :
Don't feel bad, I went to the grocery store today and forgot my purse. Didn't even realize until I was getting out the car and had no place to put my keys. laugh out loud
Well, at least you noticed once you got out of the car....I went in the store, got my items, put everything on the checkout lane. and then realized no wallet!! So I had to take everything off and set it aside and run home to grab my wallet. Thankfully it was just a quick run for dinner at the grocery store.


*sigh* I would feel so wrong if I didn't share this....tonight I found $3/2 pantene tq's on the restoratives so...

3.94x3= 11.82
-.3.94 with bogo q = 7.88
- $2x2= 3.88
-$3/2 = $.88 for three pantene expressions

The tq's are good on the expressions or restoratives...what are the chances it will work on the pro-v? b/c if so check this deal out:
3 for $10
-3.33 for bogo = 6.66
.$2x2= 2.66
-$3/2= $/34 overage.

If anyone does NOT plan on using their pantene q's i will trade you pretty much anything for them!

Ouch - Hang in there - I know a little how you feel. Last year graceful here tripped off a curb (while holding the 4 year old) and we both landed on my left pinky and ring finger EEK! Totally broke both fingers - at some point I had to laugh at myself when I was in a store using some coupons that were about to expire with a pin sticking out of my pinky, a newly inserted metal plate in my other finger, and my hand all wrapped up - you can't keep me down laugh out loud

I'm too tired to list any more. Here's what I have so far. I think I'll get a few inserts tomorrow, we'll see what time DH gets home from work. He has to work 4:30a-10:30a and then 4p-midnight. Some big news event. Definitely cuts into my usual sunday routine.

I would expect no less of you KAT! You are a strong lady. PS watch out for the quaker rice cakes, there are peelies for those harvest bars your kid likes.

laugh out loud Sorry, no help here (you already got help anyway) but I had to laugh. One time one of my cats had been sitting on top of my monitor and jumped down on the keyboard, somehow turning the entire screen not just black and white, but reverse black and white (so like if I was typing in word, the page was black and type was white). shake head

I finally found out how to fix it by searching on a mac forum. Apparently it's not that uncommon of a problem-- but how on earth did they manage to hit that exact combination of keys!!
laugh out loud I had this problem with our cats a lot before we switched to using laptops. I actually found this site and almost bought the product - it is a hoot - check it out...
