Grand total: Bought $27.92 worth of merchandise at a cost of .14 which is 99.5% savings! I got a raincheck for the Clearasil because they didn't have it at the time.

This haul was so big, I had to take 2 pictures to fit it in! Read on for great deals just in time for a Memorial Day BBQ!

I finally got how to use RR from Walgreens most effectively. I had to use one per transaction and ensure that my total was super low. But I had 6 RR to use (1 $2, 2 $4.50, and 3 $10) so I had to do 6 transactions. Sure, it took time. But look at what I saved!

I have been sleeping in our large King bed in the formal living room of our house, downstairs, without a door or anything. I finally decided to fix that crazy situation, but that involved removing 2 upstairs windows and the wall between the two windows so we could fit the headboard and mattress through the opening. (Nope, the stairs wouldn't work, we have a weird 90 degree turn on the staircase that is limited by the ceiling, and is very narrow.) Here are the pictures.

1st Window is out.

Both windows out.

Cutting the wall.

Wall is gone. Smiles!

Putting the wall back in.

There is the sturdy mattress that won't bend or slouch at all. No slacker mattresses in my life!

Didn't take pictures...argh.

We had a lot of fun last weekend. It was my mom's birthday and I tried my hand at this cake from Bakerella. It wound up being 13 layers though.

I also took my mom and grandpa to see the two shuttles out on the launch pads before we went to church.

Last but not least, we fished on our dock (that needs replacing). We caught a couple pin fish and some small trout, but our friend Aaron the Heron was happy. (Yes, I agree that feeding wild birds is bad and irresponsible.) Tell that to my bad and irresponsible husband!!!
