My grand scheme failed. I only got the Excedrin and the make-up. They didn't have the Cottenelle or the allergy meds. I couldn't get the St. Ives coupon to print. Maybe I'll get it right next time.

I've started CVSing and wanted to share my slightly confusing but awesome plan for this week.

Transaction #1

Excedrin (20-24 ct) $1.99
Use $2/1 printable coupon or 2/1 coupon from the 10/19 SmartSource
Final Price: Free

St. Ives Skin Care, $2.99
$2/1 St. Ives printable
$0.99 after coupon!

American Greeting Cards starting at 99¢ (Buy 3 for Extra Buck Deal)
Earn $3 Extra Bucks, when you buy (3) American Greeting Cards (limit 1)

Total OOP = $3.99 or use leftover ECBs (I think I have $3)

ECBs Earned = $3.00

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Transaction #2

CVS 24 hour Allergy Relief 5 ct. $3.79
Earn $3.79 Extra Bucks (limit 2)
Use 3.00 ECB from Transaction #1

Total OOP = $0.79

ECBs Earned = $3.79

--------------------------------------------------------------

Transaction #3

1 - Cottonelle Moist Wipes @ $5.98

-$.50 Cottonelle Wipes Mfg coupon

Use 3.79 ECB from Transaction #2

Total OOP = $2.19

ECBs Earned = $3.00

--------------------------------------------------------------

Transaction #4

Buy (2) Maybelline Mineral Products @ $7.99
Use (2) $3/1 any Maybelline Foundation 10-26 Red Plum Insert
Earn $10 Extra Bucks when you buy (2) Maybelline Mineral Products

Use 3.00 ECB from Transaction #3

Total OOP = $6.98

ECBs Earned = $10.00

----------------------------------------------------------

Total value = $33.73
Final OOP = $10.95 (or $13.95)

ECBs remaining = $10.00

----------------------------------------------------------

Without the last transaction the totals come out like this...
Total value = $17.75

Final OOP = $3.97 (or $6.95)

ECBs remaining = $3.00

My ideas came from various websites like this one.

My Mom packing the van in Houston before the ski trip. Snow.

I'm bored at work and decided I should google search my name. While Lamoreux did not yield any results, I found my maiden name search slightly amusing...

~LeTourneau Student Senate Public Records Committee meeting minutes typed by Frew.

~Wedding website, registries, and the shower announcement in the Beal Heights Church bulletin in Lawton OK.

~High school cross county and track meet results reminding me that I placed 191 out of 220 girls in the 2 mile and that I tied with two other girls for 4th place for pole vault at the 2002 state track meet.

~There is a fitness studio called "In-Joy" located in Moers Germany.

I'll let you figure it out.

The busy signal is becoming obsolete. Think about it, when was the last time you heard it? Can you remember what it sounds like? Everyone and your mom has call waiting just in case someone more important than you calls. I realized this last night when I called C-4 while he was in beautiful California. His new cell phone rang at least 8 times and then started ... eeeh eeeh eeeh eeeh eeeh eeeh. I thought, "That's not a busy signal....or is it..."

We finally sent away the red headed step child (BMW) and made a vow to never own one again.

Today we purchased a 2006 Corolla S.
Now I have a grocery-getter with ground effects :)

Well actually, he's a "ninja."

I shipped a package from work to the Department of Homeland Security. Weird.

The Grocery Game Week #2

Purchased value: $115.76

SAVED: $49.62

The Grocery Game

So, today was the first time I've ever clipped coupons. Here's how it turned out.

I purchased $154.67 worth of groceries and household items.

I paid $83.92 thanks to the Grocery Game $1 month trial and $2.00 newspaper.

This means I saved $70.75. Awesome.

No more ghetto phone. Hurray!

No credit card debt. Hip-Hip Hurray!

I also survived my 11-day Maymester Technical Speech class.

I'm the only one working in this wing of the building today.
Dennis, Charles, and Don are upstairs.
That is all.

Is it worth the job experience?
