Beautiful Days!!

Wow!! We are having some awesome, wonderful, beautiful days lately. I am definitely loving it. I just wish that I didn't have to work this weekend and be couped up inside for the majority of the day.

Alright, so time to get off my bumb and get going! I am really itching to get my bike out. I love to ride. I could ride and ride till I can't go anymore. It is so relaxing to me. I have been doing terrible at my eating. Basically I have wasted 2 weeks almost 3 now. I am really behind. So, maybe getting my bike out will be the little motivator to get me back on track!

New Rite-Aid Deal

In order to keep my mind and little chubby fingers busy, as you may know, I cut coupons and match them up with ads and try to score some awesome deals. I also follow a lot of good blogs that really help!


Rite-Aid:

1 Bottle of DayQuil or NyQuil ~ 4.99
2 Always Maxi Pads ~ 11.98
2 Oral B Advantage Toothbrushes ~ 5.48
1 Metamucil ~ 9.99

Total = $32.44

$5.00/off $25.00 purchase
$1.50/1 DayQuil or NyQuil Product
$2.00/2 Always Pads
BOGO Toothbrush - $2.74
$3.00/1 Metamucil

Out of Pocket Expense(OOP) = $18.20

Now, I will be getting back from their Single Check Rebate Program:

$1.00 for the toothbrushes
$2.00 for the DayQuil/NyQuil
$1.00 for the Always
$5.00 for the Metamucil
Then since I bought $30.00 worth of selected P&G products I will receive back a $10.00 Rite-Aid Gift Card in the mail.

After all savings total = Free + $.80 moneymaker!! WooHoo!!


OR THIS IS AN EVEN BETTER SCENARIO!!


1 Bottle of DayQuil or NyQuil ~ 4.99
1 Jumbo Pack Pampers Diapers ~ 9.99
2 Oral B Advantage Toothbrushes ~ 5.48
1 Metamucil ~ 9.99

Total = 30.45

$5.00/off $25.00 purchase
$1.50/1 DayQuil or NyQuil Product
$2.00/1 Pampers Diapers
BOGO Toothbrush - $2.74
$3.00/1 Metamucil

OOP Expense = $16.21

Now for the SCR I will get back

$1.00 for the toothbrushes
$2.00 for the DayQuil/NyQuil
$5.00 for the Metamucil
Then since I bought $30.00 worth of selected P&G products I will receive back a $10.00 Rite-Aid Gift Card in the mail.

After all savings total = Free + $1.79 moneymaker!! WooHoo!!


Since, the second scenario is so good I might do that! Even though I don't need diapers! LOL! I could sell them to someone that does need them. And, also on Tuesdays and Thursdays Rite-Aid will give you an extra 10% off on non-sale items. Makes it even better if the product isn't on sale!! I'm going today so I will let you all know how I do. Going to grab lunch, and then I'm off. Now the question is what do I make for lunch???

Cheap Baked Lays


CVS/Pharmacy this week has Baked Lays chips on sale for 2 for $5.00. That is an awesome sale. Usually they are on sale for $3.00 a bag! Yippie! If you don't have a CVS/Pharmacy around you check to see if any stores will price match. I absolutely love these chips! My favorites are the sour cream and cheddar and the bbq . YUM!

Pump up that temptation

I was reading about what one lady did with her Jell-O Temptations to make them a satisfying little dessert. She added cool whip, slice almonds, and some french twists. Then she said that you could even layer the different mousses together to get different flavors. That sounds interesting.


Thanks (robynsworld)

Jell-O Mousse Temptations



I bought these Jello-O Mousse Temptations, Chocolate Indulgence. I was expecting it to be very yummy and a snack I would be craving! But, instead I'm really not a big fan of them. They are sort of bland and I really do not like the texture. I read numerous other reviews and everyone seems to like them. So, I decided I better try another cup. Right now I'm sitting here eating another cup and I really don't see what the big deal is. Not a big fan of these little cups. If you do try them and you like them they only have 60 calories and are sugar free ....... WooHoo! Maybe these will grow on me?!

Week #8 Weigh In

This week at the end I was really focusing on the scale and getting weighed. But, Friday night I ate Denny's fried chicken sandwich and I think it caught up with me today! Yikes........I gained 3 pounds! OOooppps! Hopefully, this week I can lose those 3 pounds. I am thinking that they are just temporary weight and not permanent yet!

Week #7 Weigh In

Didn't Exist! LOL!

I'm Back

So, I took a good long break. I have been really busy these couple of days and I didn't focus much on my weight. The bad part is that I gained 3 pounds though. But, now I'm back and ready to push forward. Pretty sure that I didn't hit my goal for February! Darn! Oh well, it was a much needed break!
