The deals I did not do.

There are a couple Wags deals this weekend, that I did not do. One would have been completely free with overage. One of them while not free is an awesome deal on the pain meds I use most often.

The first deal was for an Accucheck meter. This is of use to those monitoring blood sugar. It is also a good donation to free clinics and so on. The deal is this, the meter os on sale for $14.99. I have a $10 coupon, and there is a diabetic magazine at Wags that has a $5 coupon, that expires today. To sweeten the pot, your get $5 in rrs. In essence it means they would pay me $5 to get the meter. I have 4 of the $10 qs.

The other deal is advil. It is on sale for about $2 off normal price and I have 4 $2 off qs that also expire today. I could get each bottle of 50 count for under $3. Not bad.

However here I am at home not going to get these deals.

I wanted to do the meter deal. My hope is to one day be able to donate a decent supply of items to shelters and such. However today It just did not seem prudent to spend the gas to go to town for a one day deal (since my qs expire today it had to be today to get the deals).
If I had gone today I would have been to town everyday since Monday. I worked yesterday and this coming Friday is payday so I will be in town Monday through Friday as it is. This is my only day to stay completely at home.

I am missing being at home more and more. I love my job, but I love being home more.
These deals will be gone. My hope is that they will return before my other coupons expire and I can still build a donation box with some of these items.

For now I will spend my one day at home with my family, and finish the laundry i could not do while at work yesterday.
