My Daughter is working

Nicci my daughter is now working with me as a dishwasher/buser!  I trained her last night and she did a great job.  Hopefully she will keep up the good work and then become a hostess there.  They make more money.  She is saving to buy a car and pay for her gas and insurance.  I'm so lucky to be able to work with her.

My Hero

My Son
My Hero
On Saturday we were invited to a graduation party of a family friend.  My husband was upnorth and late getting back, so Philip went to the party ahead of us.  When hubby came home we left for the party.  As we were walking up the drive way to the party I could hear yelling and I saw Philip from behind and he was all wet and yelling about something.  By the time I got up there I realized that the family friends grandson who is 2 was also all wet. And it was becoming clearer that Philip had just pulled him from the pond.  Philip had found the little boy floating face down in their pond.  Philip had pulled him out of the water saving his life.  The little boy wondered away from the party and some how got into the pond.  The little boy is fine, he has some water in his lungs and a bit shaken by all the fussing over him.  Philip was shaking like you wouldn't believe.   This was the second time he saved someone's life.  Earlier in the year, Philip stopped a friend from suicide.  Philip is now a guardian angel to 2 people.  I always knew my son was special and I love him so much.  I'm the luckiest person to have him in my life every single day.

Wednesday Deals

Walgreens has reams of paper for $1.99 with store coupon and 9 cent folders. 

Walmart I price matched store brand waffles $.98.  6 pk of applesauce $.98, these are great for when I bake.  I use applesauce instead of oil.  The cake or brownies are still moist without of the calories or fat.  And these individual cups are a great size instead of opening a bigger jar and ending up throwing it away because no one eats it.  Fresh mushrooms $.78 and half gallon of chocolate milk $.88 all price matched from Festival Food ad.  Cauliflower huge heads for $1.98.  Asparagus is $1.88 a pound.  White Cloud t-paper $2 a 4 pack and used the $1/1 coupon from last Sundays inserts.  40 ct foam plates $.97.  Baby carrots and head lettuce both are $.75 each.

Pick N Save store band pickle chips $3/2.  Nabisco bags of mini cookies $1.50 each and I used $.75/2 from last Sundays inserts doubled.  GE light bulbs $1 each.  Lean ground turkey $3.99..  this stuff is really hard to find now.  I was going to return the ground turkey I had in the freezer but instead I boiled it off for the dog.  They say that the bacteria is killed if it's fully cooked.  Well Shelby has a ear infection (this is a reoccurring thing... details later) and the meds she was on made her not eat.  So I had to feed her turkey or chicken with rice until she gets her appetite back.  So it worked out great.  Ban solid $2.31 used $1/1 coupon from last Sundays inserts doubled.  Raspberries $2 and I used a $/50/1 coupon I printed from an email Driscoll sent me.  Roundy's liquid eggs $3/2.  Pillsbury grands $2 and I used $.30/2 from the Sunday inserts.  Spent $19 saved $25.

Piggly Wiggly has a great sale this week. I will be shopping again tomorrow.
