So, I was so excited to get an email from "
SavingCentsEveryday" today... It was the latest blog post I completed last night -- how cool! Now, I'm not sure how I did that, or how you can join in the daily list of good ideas and great-deal alerts -- but try! I'll make it worth your while. (and, I won't feel as though I'm doing a whole lot of talking to myself!)
Getting back to work after a
week long travel with the family(s), and all of that laundry and catch-up that comes with it has left me a little tired today... So, we'll be short on lists and long on re-cap....
Shopping today, I saved 43% at Safeway. We got Corned Beef, carrots, lettuce, one Kiwi (Ben noticed it came from Italy, and I felt as though at .99 EACH - I was helping to pay for it's plane fare!), a carton of OJ (
definitely a treat - only .99!), a box of granola bars, PB, a ton of green grapes, two cartons of ice cream... and a few other things...
Tomorrow, being Tuesday, I plan on making a trip to
Albertsons. There, I'll take full use of the $10 off $25 of Kraft/
Orowheat Items -- and matching that with coupons, plus the three
doublers, hope to buy a combination of all those above (10 items in all) for less than $8 (for all of them). Their acceptance of Competitors coupons is coming to an end. (Yes, I complained already -- and I got the same auto "sorry" response that everyone else on
RefundCents.com received).
They too, have grapes on sale -- and hopefully the cheapest price for cabbage.....

I'm watching Jimmy
Kimmel (
Nightline is over and I have yet to change it to something more intelligent)... but I'm enjoying listening to Don
Rickles... I saw him in Vegas (or was it Reno) a few lifetimes ago.... classic, real humor -- he is as good now as he was then. Sure, it's not all clean, but most of the time, you just have to agree... A deadpan, dry,
impromptu sense of humor -- love it!
On a Safety note, if you've ever wanted to see a demonstration of proper car seat use and installation, you can find instructional videos at chop.edu/carseat If you prefer an in-person demonstration and safety check, go to seatcheck.org or call Dept of Transp 888-327-4236
My Inspiration Today (for Tuesday): Self Magazine's "SELF Challenge 2009". I'm ready to head back to the gym. SELF has it all laid out, in simple snipets -- how I can get in shape. Diet, excercise, toning, -- best of all there are pictures of the workouts (and online videos if you hear & see better than you read). If you want to join my Self Challenge Team, let me know - let's go for health in 2009! Find it all at Self.com
Finally, though I'm thrilled to get an email feed from SavingCentsEveryday.Blogspot.com myself, I would be more thrilled to know that I'm reaching someone out there - that I've got all the right boxes in "set-up" checked and you're benefiting from my daily dose of frugal inspiration -- so, after you've signed up, let me know.... And, add your own 2-cents (or more!) -- it'll only get more interesting then.... Ithink it's so cool now that instead of emailing all of you (whenever I get around to it), I can now send you one daily email that has all the links and GDA's (as they are available).... Hang on, we'll be saving Time and Money Now!
Thanks for reading -
