Friday on the homestead

Wow did I run into luck at Acme last night.  I went there to see if I would get 3 different free coupons for the products listed on the www.refundscents.com board that I haunt everyday for great deals.  Well anyway, I had read on there that if you buy 2 Listerine mists you get coupons for 2 free fresh express salad mixes, 1 free bottle of Newmans salad dressing and 2 free Hillshire farm lunch meats free value $20!  When I went in, I walked directly over to the toothpaste aisle.  I found a box of "mists" 2 in the box marked 2 for $4.  Well I went to the register and the guy says $10 something.  I said oh that can't be right, he said well where did you get them, I said let me show you.  So off we went to the mists.  Here whoever stacked the things on the shelves put the 2 pack in the one pack spot and the one pack in the two pack spot.  So I said, "Oh no problem I will just switch them and take these"  so off we went, he proceeded to take off the 2 packs and add on the 2-1 packs.  He said $3.24 (I had one 50c coupon on one of them doubled to $1)you have tax I said "that's fine" and I paid him.  He had a long strip of catalina's he handed me.  When we got out to the car I ended up with 2 sets of each of the coupons.  I went in and told them, they said keep them we'll just throw them away.  Well I got $40 in free coupons for $3.24!  I didn't go in an use any, I picked up there add and found a few more things I want and will head there tonight.  Then I pulled out a Phizer form I had for 3 free movie tickets, guess what these are on there!!!!  WOO HOO, so when I send in these 3 proofs with receipts I will get 3-$12 movie tickets!  So for an investment of $5.24 I will have $60 in free stuff and 3 free movie tickets.  It really doesn't get much better then that does it?  I am so happy I read RC board everyday.  It is well worth the $1 a month you have to pay for the internet version of this.  If you have any questions feel free to ask, and if you decide to join, if you could use my name I would appreciate it.  I think I get a percentage off my next renewal.

Today I have picked up the house, drank about 4 cups of tea with a piece of 12 grain toast, did a load of laundry, wiped down my bathroom, washed a few windows that dirty fingers have gotten to, I  want to start pricing things for my yard sale again hopefully can do it the third week of april and that will be here before I know it.  Tomorrow we are planning to clean out some "Stuff" in Amanda's bathroom and mark atleast 1/2 for a yard sale.  I had gotten 16 camping chairs at CVS for free after ECB's and I think I may mark a few of those too.  If I don't sell them that's fine, we can just use them for company when we have picnics etc, but I do think I have about 14 in my camper already from free chairs I got from some pain medication one time and 7 UP beach chairs.. LOL and just a few we outright bought.  But as you know when you have picnics etc you can always use more chairs! 

It's funny as I type this I am watching Logan dance to "steve" on "blues clues".  He is sooo cute sometimes, I just want to squeeze him! 

Well I want to pull coupons and do some dusting still, so I better get off of here.  I hope you have a good day, I plan to!!
