217B - Part two

Okay, so I've caught up and answered comments from the past couple of days...

So this week's CVS and Walgreens runs were even more profitable than last week's. I almost made money at CVS... my bill started out at $75.49, ended up at $23.38, then I got $20.50 in extra care bucks. So I basically paid $1.88 and got: (2) Colgate Toothpastes, (1) box of L'oreal Excellence Hair Color, (2) bottles of EverPure Shampoo, (1) bottle of L'oreal facial cleanser, (1) can of Campbell's Chunky chili, (3) cans of Campbell's soup, (1) box of Kashi cereal, (1) bottle of Soft Soap body wash, (1) box of Schick Quattro razor refills, (1) bag of Powerbar Energy Gels, and a box of envelopes... and I may have forgotten a thing or two... Now that I know the secret, I'm a beast. But I'm fully stocked on facial cleansers, toothpaste, razors and shampoo, lol.

Didn't get to go to the gospel brunch... (car problems). According to the birthday girl I didn't miss much... the music was too loud to have a conversation, it was more like jazz or R&B, and the food was mediocore. I managed to catch mom and dad in time, and ended up having a hamburger and watching Journey to the Center of the Earth. If my friend is free this weekend I'll take her to dinner to make up for it.

Not much to blog about today... I'm lusting after a house I'm not ready to buy... it's on an acre of land, surrounded by oak trees, they have their own well, wrap around porch, sun room... but the city it's in can be iffy, it's a little south of here which puts me more at risk during a hurricane, and there are some ratty storage buildings that need to be torn down (big ones)... and... I don't have a downpayment (even though it's attractively priced)... my home buying plan isn't set to come to fruition until October of next year. So it'd be best if I stop cyber-stalking it.
