My New Favorite Toy!

Share
Is it sad that a sweeper/vacuum is a "toy" to me?  :-)  My hubby came home with a new swivel sweeper for me yesterday--and I LOVE IT!  I have posted before about how much I hate floors.  I don't have tile throughout my house (thank God-I couldn't handle that!)  I only have tile in the 3 bathrooms, kitchen, entryway, and my scrapbook room/classroom.  I MUST sweep daily, especially in the kitchen (white tile) and I really should wash the floor daily, but I tend to slack on that.  Once I finish all of the sweeping I am not in the mood to mop too.  I complain about it ALOT, so I guess my husband got the hint and came home with the above. 

I just wanted to share how much time it saves me!  Time is so precious to me.  I enjoy spending AS MUCH time as possible with my kids and husband, so anything that saves me time is a fave of mine!  With this new gadget, I finished sweeping ALL of the tile in under 15 minutes.  And-it has a 45min battery, so I had plenty of battery left. I had one a few years ago,  but this one is much better.  You don't have to remove the bottom by hand anymore, there is a button you press instead.  The battery is longer, and the swivel head reaches more places than the original version.

I searched online for it (hubby got ours at Publix!)  and the cheapest I could find the new G2 version was HERE!

Publix - My totals

Share

WOW it was quite a week.  I stocked up on cookie dough, cereal, creamer, and cleaners.  I put all the cookie dough in the freezer for holiday cooking. We have more than enough for all the parties and events we will attend.  Creamer goes FAST in our house, also it has a long exp date.  Cereal does not last long in my house-4 kids and a hubby that enjoys an extra bowl (or two) before bed.

My shopping trip- MUST get back on track!

Share
I have not shopped in 2 weeks due to planning for our vacation and then being gone for 5 days...then the massive laundry & cleaning upon my return.

Last night I tried my best to put a list together to shop.  Poor planning, impatience, and just not being in the mood to shop ended in frustration and overspending :(  I just want all my readers to know, I have my weeks too where I spend ALOT.  I like to stay around $30, including groceries, HBA, Diapers & wipes.  As you can see, I went over a tad....ok ALOT!

My first trip was Publix. It was wonderful. Nice & quiet.  Followed my list, used lots of coupons!  I did decent there. Spent $23 and saved $98! 

My list:
2 packs of strawberries
2 Tubs of coolwhip (yay I found the peelies)
2 bags of carrots
2 pounds of bananas
12 bags of shredded cheese
2 packs of sandwich cheese
2 packs of Oscar Mayer Bacon
Yogurt
2 boxes of frosted Cheerios
1 box of Prevacid
2 bags of Stacy's Pita Chips
1 pack of Hummus (my splurge!)
2 boxes of Ritz Crackerfuls
10 bags of steamfresh veggies
2 bottles of Kens Dressing
2 Loaves of Publix Bread

I then headed to Walmart........walking in I knew it would be bad.  There were about 8 lanes open....ALL of them ended in the clothing department... No lie, each line was at least 8 carts long--I was wishing I had my phone so I could take a pic. I have NEVER seen it that bad ---- Easter shopping maybe? Or, is it always like this???-I avoid Walmart because..I overspend and often buy things I don't need. Thankfully, this trip I only purchased what I needed--because after my hour at Publix, a quick stop at Winn Dixie & Walgreens, I was exhausted(it was 10pm) so I  stuck to what I NEEDED.

Here's what  I got: ground beef, a brisket, 3lb bag of chicken, 3 cartons of 18ct eggs, Toilet paper, 2 bags of pretzels, Welchs Juice, 2 gallons of milk, soup, creamer, baby wash, popcorn shrimp, peanut butter, more bananas (we eat alot of bananas)

Total Spent $50. ACK!  Im getting back on track TODAY! Already started clipping for Mondays Publix sales!

So, tell me-- What are your thoughts on Walmart?  Love it or hate it?

Remember the Aquafina deal I posted about HERE ?

Well, today I was shopping at Winn Dixie (will post that trip in a bit) and found $1/1 coupons for Aquafina 24pks!! YAY! The coupons don't expire until April 2010 (apparently there are other expireds floating around, per my cashier at Wags), so I did this deal at Walgreens:

Buy 4 Aquafina x $3.99 (with in ad coupon)
Use 4 $1/1 peelies - $4
Paid $11.96
Received a $10 RR!

Thats just $1.96 for (4) 24pks of Aquafina bottled water!! I'm VERY tempted to do the same deal one more time....but it's so COLD out right now...............

This deal ends tonight, but I thought if any of you were heading out to shop I would let you know to keep an eye out for those coupons!
