Great Deals at the Grocery Stores this week.

Meijer has a super saturday sale coming up and it looks like a good time to buy some Hillshire Farm Sausage for only $1.59 cents a package (there are q's from smartsource out there) Also Keebler cookies will be 1/2 off and at my store there of lots of $1/2 peelies on the packages so that would make them only $1.50 a package (great for those of you that don't want to make your own lol) Suave is $.79 a botle and there is a coupon for $1/2 so that is also pretty cheap if you need some shampoo and conditioner. Sorry for short post

Sick and Shopping don't mix!!

I went to kroger the other night becuase God only knows why I hadn't decided to go before the end of the sale but I didn't. So even though I had been to the after hours clinic and slept 36 of the last 48 hours and still felt tired, nausous, and dizzy I thought I should go I missed the meijer sales so I better go to the Kroger sales.... Oh dear lord I spent $48 Dollars!!!! I was out of my mind I could beleave that I had went so very far over budget ($40 per week) so today or tomrrow I will be returning a few items (dial soap) that I bought that added about $14 on my bill due to the fact that only 3 of 16 coupons doubled I pointed this out to the cashier and she was like "Not all coupons double!" I think she was upset that I was the third couponer in a row that night and the night shift at Kroger is never pleasant about couponers!!! I have talked to a manager about it but that doesn't seem to help and I don't have the time of day to fix everyone else being crabby (really I need to fix me being crabby) so back on subject.... I sat down and figured it all out yesturday (why are kroger receipts so difficult to read)
So for $48 Dollars total I got:
34 cans Chefboyardee (used 10 coupons for .35/3)
16 Dial soaps (used 16 coupons for .35/1 only 3 doubled like they should have)
6 boxes BC fruit snacks (used 3 coupons for .50/2) also got a $3.50 oyno cat
1 Comfort Diapers ($3 coupon)
1 English muffins (clearance to .49 cents)
1 OJ
3 kids yogurt (used 3 coupons for .50/1)
3 yoplus yogurt (used 3 $1/1 coupons)
1 Diaper rash cream (I think the kids eat this stuff, really I don't know where it goes. used $1Q)
1 Dry milk (apparetally I need this to make bread)
1 off brand Pam (no coupons, were just out)
2 boxes of meijer oatmeal

Now the items in red will go to good use (except the soap that will be returned!) however these are the things that put me over my budget and were not planned purchases. So where my bill should have been far less, I was tired and looking for some convenice stuff that wouldn't take effort to prepare for the kids. Lesson Learned NO SHOPPING WHEN SICK!!! sales are not worth it becuase I wonder and A.D.D. kicks in far too much.

Earlier that day I had went to aldi's and spent $14

2 gallons of milk (expirering in 4 days so on special) .99 each
1 bucket of popcorn chicken $3.99 (seems very high to me however was good and filled up fam)
1 bag tator tots (however DH mentioned that he doesn't like tater tots)
1 2lb crate of grapes
1 2lb crate of strawberries
2 freezer bags (becuase I have wanted them before and they seem to be cheapest at ALDI's)

so I went really really REALLY over budget... groan and I am not done shopping for the week. GRRRR

Finding the light

It literally seems like it was Christmas last week, everything since then is a really big blur. I have seasonal depression, as an adult and mother my depression has changed and gotten worse. When I get "sick" I don't know what exactly is going on with me except that I feel funny, I know I am very withdrawn (especially because I am very social) but just not sure how to fix it. So thank's to everyone who prayed for me, I needed those prayers and they helped very much. I can't tell you how much in the past couple weeks I have just sat there praying the same four words " God help me, please." So I am on my feet again slowly playing catch up with my life.
