Awesome Deals Today

Today I made a run to Wal-Mart for a few groceries and scored some awesome deals. Here is what I purchased:

*Four bags of Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers frozen veggies: $1.08, I used a $1/1 Q for each and paid .08 per bag.

*Four small boxes of Arm & Hammer baking soda: .46 ea. I had two Qs for $1/2. They were free plus overage.

*Three bars of Johnson's Buddies soap: .97 ea. I had a Q for $3/3 Johnsons products. Again free plus overage.

*Four cans of Red Gold diced tomatoes: .87 ea. I had a Q for $1/4. They were .62 ea.

I also had to pick up a few other things as well, got some on sale...my total bill for my Wal-Mart trip this go round was $7.91 for nearly $20 worth of stuff.

Feast of the Immaculate Conception

Today, December 8, Catholics celebrate the feast of the Immaculate Conception. We honor our Blessed Mother this day and remember the fact that she was preserved from all sin from the moment of her conception, and for her entire life.

My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior. For He hath regarded the humility of His handmaiden.For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For He that is mighty hath done great things to me, and holy is His Name. And His Mercy is from generation unto generations upon them that fear Him. He hath shewed might in His arm, He hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble. He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He hath sent empty away. He hath received Israel, His servant, being mindful of His mercy. As He spoke to our Fathers, Abraham and His seed forever.

Updates

Wow...only just over two months since I last posted. I'd better get cracking.

I am spending the next few weeks of Advent attempting to get the house ready for Christmas. No small task with an 18-month old running around. Somedays it's once step forward, two steps back. I'll try to post some pics.

In other news, I am doing OK on the couponing front. I am mostly stocked up on things like soap, deoderant, shampoo, etc. so I don't really need to try and score any deals on those a while. I am trying to get more deals on groceries and diapers, since the prices of those items are through the roof right now.

Great news, our local Kmart was one of the stores participating in the Double Coupon Days. Any Qs up to 2.00 were doubled. I was able to get body wash for free, deoderant for .49, cereal for .50, and two tubs of the primo baby wipes for 1.79 ea. I may make one more trip and see if I can score any more great deals.
