Great deal on Pledge at Target

Today when I went to Target to fill Alan's medication (which I got a $10 giftcard for since he was a new prescription) I also grabbed three pledge muti-surface cleaners. They were on sale for $3.49 each and if you bought three then you got a $5 giftcard. (very excited about my $15 in giftcards that I got today!!) I had three $1 off coupons. My total for all three was $7.50 and I got the $5 giftcard back. I am also submitting a rebate for $5. A money maker of $3.50 and I love this cleaning product.

Meal plan Monday...one day late

Sorry that I haven't been posting for the past couple of days. My two year old is sick right now and yesterday we finally went to the doctor and learned that he has a sinus infection (the third one this year). Sick babies don't leave much time for posting on blogs. :)

Monday- tacos

Tuesday- spaghetti and texas toast

Wednesday- homemade potato soup

Thursday- homemade chili and cornbread

Friday- dinner with family at the in-laws

Saturday- a special Halloween supper (leaning towards pumpkin sloppy joes right now)

Walgreens trip.

This was a very late in the week Walgreens trip. My babies have both been sick all week so we've been staying home. I had register rewards that were expiring on Sunday though so I made it out to take advantage of this week's deals tonight. This is $46 worth of stuff all for $7 out of pocket (And that was for the toilet paper which was on sale and I had a coupon for making it $2.99 each, a pretty good deal). I got back $19 in RR to spend this week or next week. Not a bad shopping trip. I got the hydrogen preoxide and baking soda to see if I can get our white tub sparkling clean to look better when realtors are showing our house. I read that it would work so here is hoping that it does. :)

Sunday inserts.

There will be two inserts in this week's Sunday paper. There is always at least one good coupon (and usually lots more!) so buying a paper is always worth it when there are inserts.

$85 for a lot of groceries!

Today we stocked up on canned goods, I got 12 cans of diced tomatoes/tomatoe sauce, 9 cans of beans, and 6 cans of evaporated milk...lots of fresh produce and meat (not pictured), even bottled water and baby wipes. I also got $5 back in catalinas so my total was actually $80 and it should have been $160. It's nice when you can get groceries for an even better deal than 50% off but I'll take half off groceries any day. We got a ton for our money so I was pretty happy and $85 is the highest that we ever like to pay...I love those $40 grocery weeks but they can't all be that. :)
