Despite the stupid rule, the Saints did great last night. It was touch and go for a bit but the Chargers seconds just couldn't keep up with the Saints seconds. It is the first game I have seen where the fill ins were pretty close to the regulars. Very exciting!
I feel much better today. The headache lingered on yesterday but has cleared away today. Good thing too since I must do all my Friday and Saturday stuff today so tomorrow can be restful.
I think for Sunday I will just rest, cook of course, and finish putting together my coupon/homekeeping/price book binder. I think now that I am finally healthy that I have too much wasted time before and after work. I plan to find ways to use it well.
I do not consider my online time a waste, with running the PH site and the studying I do and earning, though the earning has slowed lately. Too busy learning! Though I do plan to limit my evening online time. My goal is to shut down the pc about 6 to 630 every evening.
I am studying on homesteading and couponing and such like. I was doing really well with the couponing but ended up with lots of things I do not need so much of, like razors. I have more razors than I can use in a year now. I do need to get restocked on toothpaste, tooth brushes, and a wiz bang deal on pantene for the kids would be great. A wiz bang deal on J&J baby wash for me would be great too. For now I get it in the big bottles at Sam's.
You have to be careful shopping the big clubs like that though. I ran the numbers on gum. We like orbit gum. I was thinking of buying it at Sam's for $9.06 for a 12 pack. However I can get it at HEB or (gag) walmart for $2.12 a 3 pack. Well 4x 2.12 is $8.48. That is a difference of .58c.I know that does not seem like much. However we go through a lot of gum. We chew it when we are away from home and toothbrushes. After 10 3 packs that is $5.80. Or about 1/4 of a tank of gas in my son's car.
That is just 1 item too. I am beginning my price book again to see what other bulk deals really are not deals at all. I already will not buy meat there unless it is name brand frozen like tyson chicken or the frozen fish. I looked on the labels and it says product of Mexico, Canada and the US. Yes I am one of those buy American when at all possible people.
Wow the house is all quiet, I can even hear the washer running! The kitties are running wild today. The kids are all asleep still, Beloved has already gone to work.
Well I suppose I have best get moving I already began laundry. Now to decide what is next!
Have an awesome day ladies
hugs y'all
I agree, Mel ~ you have to be so careful when shopping at Sam's Club that you do not overpay for something.
ReplyDeleteLike your gum example, our biggest example is our coffee creamer. Sam's has a large 64 oz pump bottle that is nearly $10. Well, at the grocery store, a 32 oz bottle is $2.34 ~ two bottles would equal the one pump bottle...2 x $2.34 = $4.68. We could get four 32 oz bottles for the price of one 64 oz bottle at Sam's. Sam's is not a win there!
Good luck on getting your binder completed ~ the price guide will be extremely helpful to you, I'm sure.
Hugs and blessings to you, Dear One. And, if I haven't told you lately ~ thank you for being you!
