It's Bedtime When It's Bedtime

Apparently small children are not the only ones who get crabby when they are ready for bed, 25-year-olds do so too. 

P and I got home around 12:30 last night and this was our "conversation" as he was parking.

Me: Those stupid annoying people,
 with their stupid annoying leaf blowers,
 got stupid annoying dirt on my car this morning.
 I paid $10 for a car wash yesterday. Now it's covered in dirt.
(..... paused for air.....)
Our stupid annoying neighbors better not have their stupid annoying music on tonight or else I'm gonna grab that cat and throw it through their window.
Philip: Man babe, it's time for you to go to bed.

Me:

Walgreensing

I ran out of my favorite shampoo yesterday, and that's a BIG DEAL for a couponer/stockpiler like myself, so I had to do something about it today.

I am not usually a Walgreens shopper (I find their coupon policy confusing) but a new store opened up in my hometown and last week's newspaper contained a coupon for $3 off any $10 purchase valid at that particular store, so I thought, heck, why not? 

I perused online couponing sites for Walgreens deals and found some great prices on Scrubbing Bubbles this week, so that's what I went for (in addition to my shampoo, of course). 

Here's the deal breakdown (it's a bit confusing, so it takes extra typing to explain it all):

This week's ad has a points booster: spend $30 and receive 5,000 Balance Rewards Points from 1/11 to 1/13. This must be reached before manufacturer coupons but after sales and store coupons. 

Scrubbing Bubbles products have several promotions:

• SB Bathroom Cleaners = Buy 2, Receive $1 Register Reward & Buy 3, Recieve $3 Catalina 

•  SB Fresh Brush Starter Kit & Caddy = Buy 1, receive 3,000 Balance Reward Points

So here are my purchases: 

•  2 Suave (Shampoo&Conditioner) 28oz
• $3.99 each, regular price
• Used two $1.50/1 mc
• 2 Finish Power Ball Dishwasher packs
• $5.29 each, regular price

• Received $3.00 Catalina (Buy 3 products)
• Additional Coupons:

Total Before Coupons: $36.57

Total OOP After: $18.something

Credits for next purchase: 5,000 points ($5) + 3,000 points ($3) + $1 Register Reward + $3 Catalina = $12 total

$18 - $12 = $6 Overall for 7 household items :) 

First Quote of The Year

Dale's quote of the day is as follows:

"This job is kind of like flying an airplane. It's hours and hours and hours and hours of boredom interspersed with a few moments of sheer terror."

We were talking about how there's nothing to do in the office until something goes wrong. Sigh, it's one of those days.
