Zoo Membership Discounts!

I just wanted to give you a heads up that all zoo memberships are 15% off now through July 31st when you enter code 495 or code 909 at checkout!

LINK

I posted in January comparing the Hogle Zoo memberships to the National Zoo memberships, and you can check that out HERE to figure out what's best for your family. Since The Bambina is still free this year, I ended up doing a Hogle Zoo membership just for the Hubby and I because it was the best deal for us.

Sorry - Blogger Outage!

Sorry everyone, there's been a blogger outage for the last 20 hours and some recently posted items have disappeared! Blogger assures me they'll have it fixed soon.

Time to migrate to wordpress, perhaps?...

Ream's Shopping Trip & Meal Plan

I stopped by Ream's this morning (since it was next to Rite Aid) to pick up a few staples.

$2.29 Milk
$1.29 Eggs
2/$4 Heinz Ketchup
2/$3 Kraft Mac (not a good price but I was out!)
$1.69 Hunt's Manwich
$2.39 Hamburger Buns
$2.00 Bread
$1.89 Cream Cheese (this was supposed to ring up $1.39. Grr!)
$1.30 Potatoes ($0.69/lb)
$0.82 Onions ($0.39/lb)
$1.57 Apples ($0.88/lb)
$1.37 Yams ($0.79/lb)
-$0.10 sack refund
-$2 Heinz MFQ (from facebook) x 2
= $20.73 + tax

(Saved $4.10 -- 16%)

It wasn't an amazing shopping trip, but it was good enough to get me through the week.


So what am I going to cook with this?

• Wednesday - Sloppy Joes with homemade sweet potato & regular fries (ground beef from freezer)
• Thursday - Chicken Alfredo (using free pasta from the last Smith's mega event)
• Friday - Hamburgers (patties in the freezer)
• Saturday - Chicken Nachos (we never got to them last week - ended up eating leftovers that night!)
• Monday - Bacon wrapped pork tenderloin with veggies (tenderloin in the freezer, going to buy bacon at Harmons or pricematch at Walmart)
  

Rite Aid Shopping Trip

So even after all these years of couponing, my hubby just doesn't "get it" sometimes. This morning as he's getting ready for work, he informs me that he's completely out of his hair goop. As in, he used the last drop today. Whaaa? Doesn't he know he needs to give me at least three weeks notice so I can watch for a sale or coupon? He's picky about his brands, mind you.

Then in the next breath, he mentions that he's on his last stick of deodorant as well.

I suppose I should blame myself for not being on top of things -- but in my defense, we have different drawers in the bathroom so I don't see his product levels very often.

Alas, I decided to go to Rite Aid and blow a $3/15 coupon to stock him up enough to get me to another good sale. Here's how it went:

2/$7 Old Spice Deodorant
$4.23 Loreal Hair Putty
$2.23 Card
$4.29 Finesse Haircare
$0.00 Finesse Haircare
$1.00 Carefree
-$3/15 RAQ
-$1 Old Spice x 2 (mailer)
-$1 Finesse MFQ (SS 5/8) x 2
-$1 Carefree MFQ (SS 5/8)
-$6 +UP Rewards (previous)
= $4.75 + tax

(And I'll get back a $2 MIR (SS 5/8) for Finesse.)

Luckily the deodorant was on sale and I found a coupon in my file. Plus my 20% discount made the hair goop not too bad. I threw in some more hairspray for me, because I'm getting low. As in, I still have 2 full bottles left. (SEE, honey? That's how it's done.)

The card is for a friend in the neighborhood who's little 6 year old daughter has cancer, and they're up at Primary's this week for another round of chemo. Our ward & neighborhood is getting hit pretty hard with crises lately. If you have extra room in your prayers, send them this way.
