Busy day

February 2nd, 2008 at 11:53 pm

Took the girls to their quiz meet this morning. DD4 came in 4th for her age group for last month for individual scores, so she was presented a ribbon for it today before todays quizzing. Don't think she did quite as well today, in one match her buzzer was not working and it took awhile to figure out when she was buzzing in she was not lighting up for the quizmaster. So she messed several she knew.

On the way back, we stopped at Michaels, and DD4 used part of her Christmas gift cards. They have been taking turns shopping there weekly, so they can use the coupon in the paper for 40-50% off on items.

Then we went to Walgreens and picked up the ink cartridge that had to be refilled due to their error (didn't get filled all the way and dried up after 4 pages) so that was free. Then I used some coupons with their sale items. Receipt started out at $25, then I gave her the coupons. That brought it down to $14.48 and I have around $10 of rebates that I will get back off of that. So, for around $4.70 with tax, I got 6 containers of dish soap, shampoo, conditioner, shaving gel and breakfast bars. I should be set for dish soap for the next 4 months.

I just hope I can use the receipt--its very faint in some spots--bad ink on the register....

Also stopped at the grocery store-didn't need much, going to cook out tomorrow for the game. BUT, shrimp was 3.99 a lb--normally its 7.99, so we got 3 lbs and will have shrimp, salad and baked potato tonight for supper. The guy even through in about 1/4 lb extra shrimp. He remembered us from before- (New Years Eve they were so busy the had stock boys helping in the deli area, and a stock boy threw in a pound of ice with our shrimp and crab and weighed it-including it in the total. So, when we got home, we had a pound less than we paid for). They had already made good on it, but the manager just wanted to keep us happy! And he did, as we keep going back.
