Being in the right place at the right time!

Alan and I headed to the store the other day with a list in hand. We had specific things we needed and had forgotten to get them on our previous trip a day or so earlier. Yes they are an odd collection, but were much needed.

Milk (how dare we be low when the kids

come over and want a glass full),

lemon cleaner (it was time to clean the floor),

comet (I had been canning chicken and I

needed to disinfect my sink),

Labels (to label the jars of chicken)
Cloves (for the chocolate zucchini cake YUM!)

See what additional items we came home with...

Fruit Leather (13 boxes)

cereal (46 boxes)

Hawaiian Punch (12)

Slim Fast (9 boxes)

Bay Leaves (4 packs)
Sesame Seeds (5 packs)

Dried Chili Pods (5 bags)

ETC....

That would be 122 items to be exact. And a Whopping $143.96. Now I'm no mathematician.

But my calculator tells me that it works out to be @$1.18 each.

I Love Good Deals!
and

I LOVE FOOD STORAGE.

Apparently, the Cocoa Puffs cereal said there was 5, 10 and 20 dollar gift cards in random boxes. Well after coming home with all the groceries that day. I gave some to a few of the kids. And...I guess we won a $5 gift card in one of the boxes that I sent home with them.

SCORE!
