I "Heart" My Cardiologist.....Usually

I had an appointment today with the cardiologist at 10:45am.   I arrived and checked in at 10:35am.

Here I am at 11:00am still waiting......

 

Here I am at 11:15am and still no doctor.....

Here I am at 11:25am.......guess who STILL hasn't seen the dr. yet?

Here's a shot of my "dumb phone"....note the time.....I have heard rumors that there is medical personnel somewhere in the building.....just not in the room I'm in.......

Am I agitated?
Is my blood pressure going up?
Can I make more weird faces??
You bet!

My petulant inner child had decided to storm out at high noon if I hadn't been attended to by then.

The doc finally came into the room at 11:52am.....for a 10:45am appointment.

If he wasn't such a cutie I would have bitched at him.

Not only is he a fine heart doc but he is a lover of classical Indian dance.
Doc is on the left in this photo I found online......

Who would have thunk it?!

Another Shopping Win Using Free Gift Cards

I had an hour to kill between dr. appointments yesterday so I picked up a prescription I had transferred to the K-Mart pharmacy and made a quick $25(gift card)for doing this.  This is the 4th gift card I have earned in the last 2 months for transferring rxs to K-Mart.

Then I went shopping in the store for some Xmas gifties.....no worries, nobody in my family reads my blog.....lol......

 

Everything I got was on sale, so this lot cost me $54.96 + .24¢ tax on the Abominable Snowman Ornie=$55.20
Regular Retail is $75.94 + .36¢ tax.
I used 2 of my Gift Cards earned from transferring rxs toward this purchase and spent $5.20 OOP and I saved $21.20 off of reg. retail.

Since I have a "Shop your way" rewards card for K-Mart, I came armed with a "Get 10,000 SYW pts. when you spend $50" Q I got in K-Mart last weekend, so I earned $10 in pts. for this transaction that were good for 48 hours(use 'em within 2 days or loose them).

My daughter is in dire need of new underthings so I went online this morning and bought all this. Unfortunately none of it was on sale but I still did well as you will see............

2x Hanes 6-Pack of Boyshorts  $9.99....................$19.98

3 x Joe Boxer 2-Pack of Bras $16.98 each.............$50.94

1 x Athletech 6-Pack No Show Women's Socks.....$5.99

SubTotal.....................$76.91

This order qualified for free shipping to my daughter as it was over $59.00
I used a $5 off $45 purchase coupon code, bringing the total down to $71.91.
Then I used my $10 in SYW points earned yesterday, making the total $61.91.
I also applied my other $38.65 in SYW points already on my card, making the total now $23.26.
$2.16 in tax was applied to my order(because it was shipping to a state with sales tax on something I bought), making the total $25.42.
I then paid with the 3rd of 4 gift cards I got for transferring perscriptions, so my OOP(put on my credit card)was .42¢.
And I earned 615 more SYW points for this purchase.

In total I bought.....
6 men's undershirts
2 men's t-shirts
1 men's l/s shirt
1 pr. men's slippers
1 Xmas ornie
12 pair of women's panties
6 women's bras
6 pair of women's socks

And I spent $5.62 OOP.

Love it!

My Weekly Rite-Aid Trip

Well IF the Load2Card Qs had come off like they did the last couple of weeks, this lot would have cost me $2.57 instead of the $10.57 I paid.  Yes, I had $8 in Load2Card coupons on my card that refused to budge off of it!
Ya hear that Rite-Aid??!!

 I forgot to put the Distilled Water I bought into the second photo for the order on the brother in-law's card.......

You will notice that somebody around here likes Peppermint Patties..... 8-)

As things went, the Pantene cost me $1 a bottle, the Tresemme(the more expensive fancy bottles)cost me .49¢ each, the Soft Scrub with my Freebie Coupon cost me $1.10 for both bottles(the freebie Q only paid up to a certain amount), the Axe body sprays were $1 each and the gift set cost me $2.98 after the +Up Rewards that I got back for these transactions.

The candy is a good deal.....big bags of mint patties or peanut butter cups on sale for $3.99 and give a $3 +Ups, so if you have +Ups to roll, these come out to .99¢ a bag.  Your store is probably out by this point in the week so get a RAIN CHECK for them(limit 2 deals)!

Retail value of this lot?
$100.24

I need to go back and get some gift cards since they are giving +Ups and they are for places we spend during the year anyway.
And I need some PowerAde(.57¢ each this week)too for Hubs.

So what good deals did you get at Rite-Aid or some other drugstore this week?

Duck on the Brain

Ok, I stopped at Wegman's yesterday while I was out for doctor appointments.
I had been having a Facebook conversation that morning with some folks about those Duck Dynasty guys.
Tell me the universe was NOT listening in.........

 

I went online later to confirm that this quacky stuff retails for $7.95 a package.
And it's now safely tucked away in my freezer until Dec.25th!

What I Did That was Frugal Last Week--Addendum

And here is something I forgot to list as a frugal accomplishment last week.

On Monday afternoon, the evening of which we were going to K-Mart to pick up our almost half price recliners, I saw a FREE PHOTOS Coupon Code for Walgreens that was only valid that day on their website.

I quick went online to the Walgreens site, uploaded a digital photo and put in the coupon code and voila!.....I got 25 free 4x6 photos.
Picked them up before we went to K-Mart that evening as there's a Wags less than a mile away from the Big K....so can I count combining 2 errands into one trip too as a frugal accomplishment? lolz

And now I have lovely photos to enclose in most of the Christmas cards I am sending out.

But while I was walking through Wags to get to the Photo counter I saw a display of DUCK DYNASTY items.
Uh oh......
How I ever lived without a DD Garden Gnome to this point in my life is beyond me!
At least I wasn't tempted by an Uncle Si Chia Pet....
