Shopping

Sunday August 7 2011


I went shopping yesterday and was a little disappointed. The health food store I went to was a total bust. They didn't have anything I wanted, and the few interesting things they had were way overpriced.

I couldn't find the Neutrogena foundation I wanted or the Revlon lipstick either. There's a certain shade that I adore called cherries in the show. I have the nail polish to match it. I'm going to see my brother tomorrow, and there are places near where he lives that may carry these items. I sure hope so.

I guess everything wasn't a bust because I did find some gluten free rice krispies to make some rice krispie treats. I had a coupon for 70 cents off, so I only had to pay a little over two dollars. That was pretty cool because cereal is so expensive! I was also able to get some gluten free fruity pebbles. Yeah, I have to have those kid cereals some times. They actually satisfy my sweet tooth. I also had a dollar off coupon when you buy two, so I only paid about 2.49 a box. I was also able to buy some Philadelphia Cooking Creme. This is my guilty pleasure. I love putting this in pasta to give it a delicious creamy texture. I had a 75 cent off coupon, so it made it only about a 1.70 instead of the well over two dollar price. Gluten free hamburger helpers were on sale for a dollar a box, and I had a coupon for 75 cents off three boxes, so I only paid 75 cents for each box. Then at the register, I received a coupon for a dollar off of one box of any hamburger helper product. That means while this sale price is going on. I can get one for free. I'm going to do that tomorrow. I also got these cool smoothies for only 75 cents a piece because I had a coupon too. They were the Edy brand where you only have to put milk in them and stir them up. I also got the Silk soy milk for only 1.99 when it's usually over three dollars. I had a dollar coupon, and it was on sale.

I didn't find the books I wanted at Books-A-Million,but I found them on Amazon.com for very good prices. I bought The Kind Diet by Alica Sliverstone, No Plot No Problem by Chris Baty, and the movie The Legend of the Phantom Rider all for a little over 26 dollars with the free shipping option.

I guess my shopping trip wasn't too bad between all the places I went too. I saved 25 dollars because I used coupons.

I hope I didn't bore y'all too much with the I saved this much and that much stuff.
