cashmoney. $

very good guesses...four of them..!

so i will break it down, not sure if that interests you but we will see how it goes...

Tide: Regularly 15.99 on sale for =$9.99

Milky Ways: .88 on sale for .50 each plus a buy one get one free coupon so they = 3/$1.00

Milk: not on sale =$2.89

Oatmeal: Regularly 3.99 on sale for 2.50 plus a coupon for $1 off=$1.50

Always: 1.49 plus a coupon for $1 off=$.49!

Tums: 2.99 plus a coupon for $1 off=$1.99 

Raisin Bran: Regularly 3.99 on sale for 1.99 plus a coupon for buy two get $1 off so=$1.49 each

Body wash: Regularly 4.79 but buy two for 8 =$4 each

M&M's: Regularly 2.99 on sale for 2.50 plus $1 off two so=$2 each.

I hope that makes sense!

So I bought $51.54 worth of items.

it was all on sale for $35.84

from an earlier shopping trip, i had $29 worth of +UP rewards, meaning i could spend $29 on anything in the store. 

so that brought my total down to $6.84.

THEN i applied the $5.50 worth of coupons i had. 

so in the end i paid

$1.34 

for all of those goodies!!!

and at the bottom of my receipt i got a $5 credit to use on anything next time i go.

!!

my sister and i are obsessed. obsessed with saving money.

guessing game!

guess how much i spent on alllllll thiss stuff at rite aid today!!!!!

take a wildddd guess!

maybe the winner will getttt those tums. or panty liners. just maybe.

wk 34.

here i am, swamped with accounting homework on a sunday night.

good news though, i only had to call my father 4 times instead of 15 like last week. although he never apologized for insulting me last sunday by saying "you're just not getting it." i forgive him and think that i AM getting it. even though it took me 5-7 hours to do one assignment.

school is going well. it helps the time go by. we are 67% done with the deployment.

ummm....... when should i start panicking and trying to do everything that i was going to do while he was gone ?

okay, seriously, those chairs WILL be refinished when he gets back.

oh, we got a new camcorder! 

seriously, it is my new best friend!!!

i can NOT wait until jon gets home and we watch hours and hours of footage of rumbi being cute!

rumbi eating, rumbi chasing a laser around the room, rumbi walking around the house....he'll love it.

that is all.

oh, and yes, i thoroughly enjoy wearing shirts that glow. 

you?

fail.

okay, you guys made me feel bad about the fact that i spent

$25

on ALL THAT FOOD!!! the other day. 

even though that means that all 18 of those items were only $1.40 which is really great for a big box of special k and not so great for a pack of starburst.

and technically it was 

$24!!!!

because i got a one dollar off for my next visit. 

amanda wins, because she was the closest. and katie was 2nd closest. 

okay, tomorrow is my grocery shopping day. 

i WILL do better than last time..

but probably not as good as this..

my sister is ridiculous. i'll get that good though, watch me....

fun filled saturday. /wk 33.

i woke up to a call from my loved one in afghanistan. 

he woke me up at 8 and we got to talk for almost thirty minutes!!

when we hung up, i text my friend katie.

she responded saying that we were going on a hike!!

so i gathered all of my belongings and drove to her house. 

we drove about an hour to the start of the hike and walked about 2 miles downhill to a beautiful waterfall. it was so much fun and such a good hike...downhill.

the hike uphill was....quite difficult. it was really pretty, however.

we got home, showered and got ready to head straight to Catholic mass!

katie is Catholic and this was the first time i'd been to church with her. it was a really nice service and the church was beautiful!

then we went out to dinner...it was a perfect day date turned into real date. she is such a good replacement. just kidding, i really do love her.

and yes, i wore a skirt to church. i didn't take a picture, however. 

friday repeating outfit.

well, i had to wear the same things i wore earlier this week, but it worked.

taking pictures of myself is a pain in the neck.

i went to my interview. i'm not sure about it.
it seems very demanding.

the hours are a bit ridiculous.

i told them i don't work on sunday's, and they weren't too happy about it.

they also SERIOUSLY asked me how i would feel if i was supposed to work the day Jon got home from afghanistan and if i asked them last minute for the day off they said no. 

how would i feel?

how do you think i would feel.

i would quit on the spot, no doubt about it.

and this photo just because:

it is a weird picture, i just think jon looks so handsome in it.

taken the day i graduated.

going strong!

still wearing no pants!

i actually really miss wearing a good pair of comfy jeans. 

tomorrow, i might have to break the cycle.

i have my job interview & i don't have any cute business skirts...

i am a bit weary about it...i told the interviewee that i don't work on sunday's and lets just say she didn't LOVE the sound of that.

wish me luck anyway!!

also, i thought this might be fun.

how's about you all guess how much i spent on all of this?

no hints!
