P&G Deal I spent $30.11, used $21 in Qs making it $9.11 spent, then I got $10 in new PPs AND $6 in cash rebates so "got paid" $6.89 to take this stuff home.

Suave was $6, $3 spent after Q, then $2 in new PPs AND $2 in cash rebates making this a $1 moneymaker.

The Tresemme was $8, used a $5/2 Q making it $3 OOP in PPs.  Though no PPs were earned on this purchase I did get $3 in cash rebates back making these 2 items straight up free.

Toothbrushes were also straight up free after Qs and new PPs earned.

While the L'Oreal Shampoo was NOT free($3.99-$2Q=$1.99, earned $1 in PPs), it was only .99¢ when all was said and done.  If I had not bought it this transaction would have been an even bigger moneymaker of $7.88.  ;-)

While there were no points to earn on the Right Guard I still got paid to buy it.....paid $7, used Q that gave me back $3.47 of that $7 spent, then got $4 in cash rebates so "got paid" .47¢ to take it home.

These deals are available until Saturday night at Rite-Aid.

Awesome Grocery Trip

I hit Weis(PMITA)Markets on Monday.

Used bunches of coupons and stocked up on a few items we use a lot of.
I made a video about this trip......



 I misspoke on the video-the Old El Paso shells were on sale for $1.50 each(not $2 each)and the Refried Beans for $1.27.  After Q($1) and Savingstar Rebate($1)I paid $2.27 for all 3 of those products.

Plus I used a $5 off your purchase Catalina I earned last week which helped my savings rate a bit.

After SavingStar rebates my savings rate becomes 71.20%.
Woohoo!

Now I'm off to work on my Meal Plan for the week as it is waaaay late!

Hope you are enjoying your weekend no matter where you are spending it.

Gary Makes the MainStream Media

If you missed it last Sunday, 3rd party Candidate Gary Johnson and VP running mate Bill Weld were interviewed on CBS's 60 Minutes Show.

Since they are the only 3rd party candidates on all 50 state ballots come November, if you are fed up with the two substandard Dem and Rep candidates you might want to take a look at this alternative choice.
Both Johnson and Weld were 2 term Governors(Johnson in NM, Weld in MA).  I think it makes sense to elect leaders who have actually run something well(besides campaigns and foundations that funnel money into campaign war chests).

LIBERTARIAN INTERVIEW HERE

It would be refreshing to have a POTUS who tells the truth and a ticket that wants to unite us and get something done for a change.

The two party system has run it's course.  It's time for a change if our country is going to survive, grow stronger and heal.

Not to sound like a commercial here but just trying to get the message out that there are FOUR candidates running, not two.  More choice equal better results and all.


I would suggest every voter, who wants to be well informed go to this site.....

On The Issues

On the Issues gives you all 4 presidential candidates's stances on the major issues plus the stances of their VP running mates.
Instead of making up your mind by listening to the media(which doesn't talk about the ISSUES but focuses on the sensational)find out which candidates align with your principles.

And make sure you are registered in time to vote.  Contact your local governement and get 'er done!

Garden Update.....It's Almost Done for the Year


We picked the third(and last)acorn squash last week.  Not a bad harvest for a plant I didn't buy or plant. 8-)))

Two more tomatoes were picked and eaten this week, weighing in at a combined 10.4 ounces.

One of those maters had quite the profile......


My Jimmy Durante tomato..........lolz



This brings our harvest total to 39.775 lbs for 2016 for my haphazard efforts this year.
That's from 1 squash plant, 2 zucchini plants and 12 tomato plants.

And there are still tomatoes waiting to be picked and used or processed.
