I received an email from Auto Zone that said I had $10 credit. This interests me. Before the expiration date, I reminded him to go to Auto Zone. I thought we might get some water. I gave Tommy almost carte blanche for shopping...lol. but not buying. He asked what to get...almost any gadget he saw that we could use. I mentioned a bunch of bottles of water, small flashlight. He found the windshield sunshades. I have always wanted one. There were two kinds. One had foil on both sides for $15. The other had only one foil side for $10. He bought the double sided one.
We were in the car later and decided to open it. There is no opening that gadget. It is too wide, but we can make it work. It will always be accordion shaped. But, there are days we are dying from heat and light. He only spent about $6, including tax.
I also received a CVS email notice that my credit of something like $384.72 would expire in about two hours if I did not open the window below before the credit expired. Well, since I have not bought that much ever at CVS, I PASS!
We only went to collect ads and cherry pick. We bought nothing at The Pig because once again, I had the ad for the wrong location. I don't believe this is all me! At Food Giant, we bought 5 lbs. Russet potatoes for $1.99. At Publix, I bought Melatonin, Drumstick Cones, shelled pecans for snacks for me, Cheetos and Fritos bogo for snacks for Tommy, Leafy Romaine salad, Oui for me.
We sat in the park until dark and ate Drumstick Cones. The tennis players we were watching finally had to leave because no one could get the lights to work.
I made up a dinner plate to take to guy across the street. He was not here between 4 pm and 6 pm, so I put it in the freezer to give him another day. The chicken looked so pale. Even though it was flavorful, I sprinkled it with parsley for a more flavorful and appetizing appearance. Now, it is frozen since he often goes away with someone who picks him up and he stays away for a few days.
This weather is certainly not November weather--85F. But, I will gladly take it. It will be cold and wet sooner than I want it to be. It is 77F at 7 pm. We love this.
We will have baked chicken, Brussels sprouts, carrots, green beans, smidgen of cranberry sauce for dinner.
Little by little, I am continuing the decluttering. Sometimes, the clutter sneaks back in, and I have to kick it out again.
Oops! I forgot I need to cook the other bag of Brussels sprouts. NOW! So, there is that!
What have you gotten with a free store credit lately?
Has CVS notified you that they have an overly high value credit for you?
Do you have a sunshade for the car that is accordion shaped or one that you twist?
I love Brussels sprouts! Do you?
We got a $27 car wash at a new wash here in town. Our van was filthy after the hurricane so I was thankful.
ReplyDeleteLana,
DeleteThat was certainly a great deal. I am sure your van was in need of a wash. I would be thankful, too.
How neat! I would love a new sunshield window shade too.
ReplyDeleteI won a $10 Amazon gift card. I bought athletic joggers for the grands and used the card, only saving about ten percent. I have three grands, so clothing them is expensive.
ReplyDeleteI do not have one of those accordion shields, but they are nice to have, I'm sure. I park in the garage at home, work in a building with a parking garage attached, and would certainly forget to put the thing in if I went somewhere else.
And yes! I love a good Brussels sprouts dish. I roast mine, and then add them to a skillet with chopped bacon, heavy whipping cream, parmesan cheese. I let that sauce thicken and it is divine!
Alice,
DeleteI suppose with three to clothe, any little bit helps.
We just throw the shield in the back seat, not ideal, but, hopefully, we will use it more often than you. We will use it while we are sitting in the car, waiting somewhere.
That really sounds delicious. Maybe I can make that someday. I love all the ingredients.
I fixed Brussel sprouts yesterday - love them.
ReplyDeleteCheryl,
DeleteYUM!
If you google Piggly Wiggly Birmingham and click savings you can then access the ad to whichever store you want. The ad is too small but if you click on the actual ad it becomes much larger.
ReplyDeleteAnne,
DeleteI have done this for five years. I think somehow, this ad is doing something wonky. This is the only online ad that gives me trouble.
