For Mark......

Ok, I stand corrected!
You have NOT fallen behind in your decluttering Mark, just in the sharing of what was dejunked.
I hang my head in shame at doubting you and your dedication to dejunking..... 8-(
I wait with baited breath for your next decluttering post.

While I wait, here is what I dug up over the weekend and sent off to Salvation Army today.......

A bunch of shirts(still with tags) and new in the box toys from my old eBay inventory.  Add in some books I've read and am ready to pass along.

Now why do I keep hearing Ethel Merman singing, "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better" over and over again in my head??lolol

3 Trips to Rite-Aid Late Last Week

I goofed up bigtime last Thursday at Rite-Aid.
I was trying to do the "Buy $20 of Hershey candies and get a $10 +Up Reward" Deal, but I miscalculated and didn't quite spend $20.
Ugh.

So I went right back in and spend another $3 and change to get over the $20 mark.  But by doing the 2nd trip too close timewise to the first, the system didn't sync up the 2 transactions, so the +Up still didn't print.
Ugh again.

So I went back on Friday and bought some more....not more candy, but I still had +Ups to roll/convert/burn before Saturday night AND Daughter wanted to use her GOS Cert. from before Xmas.
So I got the kids a new blow dryer and other stuff....and I STILL didn't spend all my expriring +Ups.
Triple UGH.

So....I went back Saturday evening to spend $4 in expiring +Ups.  I did end up buying more Easter candy(which also qualified for the Hershey +Ups Deal) AND my $10 +Ups FINALLY PRINTED!
Yay me!!!

So now, I'll be returning the $3 and change worth of Hershey's from Thursday night since the Saturday Hershey's also qualified for the +Ups Deal and put me over $20.  Those chocolate bunnies aren't pictured in my Photo since I am not counting them, but they will put another $3.18 on the Rite-Aid gift card(and take $1 off my +Ups left to spend total since I used $1 of them)when I return them since I paid with Qs, +Ups and a gift card.
That's just so you know when my gift card total goes up, that is why.

While the beginning of last week was all about rolling +Ups into more +Ups or converting +Ups into Single Check Rebate cash, these trips were all about spending expiring +Ups before they went kaput!lol
Since I wasn't able to roll most of the $26 that were expiring, I chose items that we needed/wanted and if possible things we also could get at least a partial amount back in +Ups like the chips, the candy, the cookies and the blow dryer.

Onward to the photo of the items I bought in those 3 transactions and the totals.....

2 Lay's Chips
2 Colgate Toothpaste(raincheck)
4 Reach Toothbrushes(raincheck)
2 Chef Boyardee Pasta(free item homemailers)

I Forgot to Post This......

.....about 4 months ago I had a Holiday/Christmas Giveaway.  The prize was an ornament from my big 'ol stash personally chosen for whomever the winner happened to be.
The winner was Diane(dicity)but I never posted a photo of her prize, though I did take a snapshot of it before I mailed it to her.

Diane told me she keeps her tree up year round and she's into Patriotic themed stuff and likes the red, white & blue color scheme.
So I sent her this ornie, which I thought would be right at home on her tree.....

  I was going through and organizing my photo files on the computer and I just found this photo again, which reminded me to post it.
Yes, I am a procrastinating disorganized slob......lolol

I also visited my storage today since the weather was in the high '60s today without any rain for a change.  I've got the urge to do some more cleaning/clearing out of stuff around here again.  I found another tub of Hallmark ornies in storage. 
My question is.....would anyone be interested in an Ornament Giveaway?  I'm sure I could come up with a box of 'new in the box/never used' ornies for a prize. 
Or maybe I should wait until we get a tad closer to Christmas to do this one, huh?lol
