Hope everyone has a nice weekend

Well the week is nearly over and I have not had a moment to pause and blog all week it seems like. While I did get to go shopping this week I won't bore you with all the details. But I hit Smith's and Albertsons on Tuesday and spent $78 and saved over $180. Then Wednesday I hit Walmart for a few deals (my favorite being organic Sam's Choice 12 Oz. bags of coffee for a $1.00 a bag in their dollar aisle). I spent $45 at Walmart (which included 35 bags of coffee plus some other things that I had coupons for and a magazine)

Most of the things I bought this week were staples like milk, bread, fruits and veggies. Plus DH found a deal on pork chops from a small store that he delivers at that has locally raised meat. The pork chops were $1.79 lb and the most flavorful and juiciest I have ever tasted (we got 50 Lbs!)

But coupon deals included:
- $0.50 overage on Playtex gentle glide tampons (4 ct. box) on clearance at Albertsons
- $2.50 for Precious string cheese at Smith's
- $2.50 for Hillshire Farms brats at Albertsons
- $0.25 for Colgate toothpaste at Walmart
- Free kitten food at Smiths (using free coupon from recent insert)
- $0.64 for Softsoap hand soap (not stellar but was out and with all these germy kids we need our hand soap)

I am sure there were other deals but my mind is drawing a blank. (never claimed this blog to be a deal blog)

Other than shopping this week I have been working working working. Still working on spring cleaning stuff on Tuesdays. This week was tackling the little kids room and closet. And then lots of work on website stuff, most is all behind the scenes stuff that folks don't see like answering emails and PM's (I have 35 PMs today already to get to) and other stuff. We rolled out a new rule about trading IP's and the members are none to happy about it so I am trying to weed though it all and see what sort of compromise I can be come to, if any. And then we rolled out new price books at Organicgrocerydeals today - which you can read more about here = Price Books.

Tomarow I am taking the day off for a trip again to the Black Hills. My daughter Hannah's birthday is the 12th and she wants to go to Mount Rushmore for her birthday so we are taking a trip over there tomarow (its about a 2 hour drive from here) plus we will be taking what I hope will be a very cool train trip through the Black Hills from Hill City to Keystone and back. The kids are very excited about the train trip! I am praying now for nice weather and no snow. Rusty called a little while ago and said it was snowing a bit where he was (about 1 hour from Gillette in Sundance) and its windy and cold here today...so praying for clear skies tomarow!

Hope everyone has a weekend filled with friends, family, peace, joy, good deals and no snow!
