Come Nov. 6th, I wish I lived in Maryland, in the 8th District.
That would mean I could vote for this guy for Congress.....
He sure talks sense, doesn't he?
I'll be back later with my Food Spending Report.

Some Politicans Actually Make Sense

The Sacriest Halloween Costume EVER!
I'm wearing this mask because it's almost the scariest thing I can think of.
This man has been a heartbeat away from becoming our President for 4 years now and if things go one way, he will continue in that role.
Joe Biden....the man who claimed the wealthy got 500 TRILLION in a tax cut(hell the deficit is ONLY 16 Trillion right now!).....the man who averaged $300 a yr. for the past 10 years as his charitable giving on his tax return(while he earned how much per year?)....the man who never met a speech he didn't steal(remember the 1988 Presidential race?).......the man who considers any legislation he signed as a Senator from DE as his PERSONAL donation to charity....the man who, at the ceremony for the Navy Seal Tyrone Woods, made a disgustingly inappropriate comment to this patriotic young man's father about his son, the son who was murdered in Benghazi (when the White House told rescue forces to stand down), that I will NOT disclose. Yes, it was confirmed and it is THAT offensive!
I'm sorry, having a doddering old fool in that high a seat of power is just wrong AND scary!

Here's what happened when someone tried to impose Socialist Ideals onto some kids' Trick or Treating fun.
You think this is unfair?
Just wait until you grow up kids! lol

Rain & Wind Can't Keep Me From My Appointed RITE-AID Rounds!
Yes, before the weather got bad here on Monday, I was up at Rite-Aid.
The cashier reported it had been nuts in the store all day......you know, with the people who wait until it's almost too late to get necessities like bottle water and batteries and flashlights.

I used $13 in +Up Rewards and put the .47¢ on my Rite-Aid gift card.
I received $7 back in +Up Reweard($2 wyb2 Pantene, $2 wyb2 cereal, $3 Preparation H)and I have $9 tracking toward the Spend $12, Get $4 on select food items.
Analysis--
*Krave cereal. This is among the cereals On sale for 2/$6 this week. Kellogg's has a Rewards program. You save codes and get points and among the things you can get are coupons. I joined, got some free codes and turned some in for this $1.50/1 on Krave cereal Q. It printed 3 times so I have 3 Qs. I used 2 and received $2 +Ups back for buying 2 boxes. After sale/Qs/+Ups the cereal "cost" me .50¢ per box.
*Bounty Basic towels are BOGO this week, so $1.49 for 2 at my store. Used the $1/2 ManuQ so each roll "cost" me .24/.25¢.
*Pantene on sale for 2/$7 this week. I used the Buy one shampoo, get a conditioner or styler FREE P&G insert Q that expires on Wed. So I paid $3.50 for the shampoo and got the conditioner free. Then I stacked the Rite-Aid Q from Self magazine for $1/1 Beautiful Lengths variety of Pantene shampoo, making my total $2.50 for 2 after Qs. Then for buying 2 Pantene products I received a $2 +Up Reward which made each bottle "cost" me .25¢. Without the stacked Q, the total would have been .75¢ for each bottle.
*Preparation H totables on sale $3.99 this week. There is a $1/1 Q on their website, making this $2.99.
There is a $3 +Ups for buying this item, so it is FREE or a .01¢ moneymaker after sale/Q and +Ups.
*Lindt's chocolate (small bags) on sale this week for $3. There was a Free Lindt's Q offer(up to $3.99) on Facebook earlier this month. I was able to get 4 prints of that Q. Free bag of chocolate and it's a qualifying product for a "Spend $12, Get $4 +Ups back" Offer. Free choccies and $3 toward that +Up Deal.
*Hormel chili is also part of that "Spend $12, Get $4 +Ups back" Offer. On sale for $1.50 can, so 4 cans was $6. I used 2 $1/2 ManuQs, making them "cost" me $4. Add my $6(before Qs) spending to $3 for the Lindt's chocolate and I have $9 spending toward the $12 to get the $4 +Ups.
If I go buy 1 more bag of Lindt's with my Free Q, I'll have $12 spent, get a free bag of chocolate and a $4 +Ups back......so this what will happen in the next couple of days. 8-))
In the end I "spent down" $6 in +Ups but after buying another bag of chocolate(and getting another $4 +Up with no spending), I'll only be "down" $2 in +Ups.

Reporting In From Eastern PA
We made it through the night.
Loss of power intermittently but nothing major. I guess we lucked out here as PA was the 3rd worst hit with power outages.
We are down to light rain(which is going to continue until Friday)and some gusty winds.
Luckily, no downed trees around here either.....not even branches in the yard which we usually get with these types of storms.
The best thing is.....now I can go to Rite-Aid! lolol
Just to check on my friends/employees there......because I am concerned for their well being.....not that I want to shop for almost free or anything...... ;-)
I am just glad we weren't in Ocean City MD THIS week.
Hope everyone else made it through the night and is aok!
