They PAID me to shop at Walgreen's!!!!

That is right. I was paid $3.04 to bring all of these products home with me from Walgreens' (plus two packages of Mentos gum that my son already snagged!!). I LOVE getting FREE things but when you can make a PROFIT at shopping, legally, that is even better!!! The toothpaste and chapstick had to be purchased in separate transactions. Why? When you purchase the toothpaste for $3.49 you will receive a register reward (good on your next purchase, same as cash) for $3.50. However, if you purchase more than one toothpaste, you will only receive one register reward. The same with the chapstick. The Physician's Formula lip products have a $10 rebate this month from Walgreen's and I also had coupons from the paper.

Enjoy the deals!!!!

Tuesday Tribute: My knowledge of the birds and the bees

Tuesday Tribute:

Jake: 7 yr. old son

Me: Mom, 30 something

Jake: Mom, I've got a question for you. Why do girls have babies and boys don't?

Mom: (thinking wtf is your father?) Well, you know how inside your belly you have your lungs and heart and liver?

Jake: yeah

Mom: Well, girls have an organ that boys don't have and that is called a uterus. This is where babies grow inside the mommy's belly and since boys don't have a uterus, you can't grow a baby. (Unless you are the guy that used to be a girl and didn't make the total change to a guy and still had his uterus.....but I didn't go into that detail!!)

Jake: Ohhh. So then they grow up, get married and then start growing babies?

Mommy: ummm, yep, that's what happens.

Today marks the first week of my official weight loss challenge. Treadmill and resistance workouts were completed 6 out of the 7 days. I am down 1/2 of a pound and have lost 2 inches total....one inch on my waist and one inch on my hips. My friend Vicki also lost 2 inches but is down 4.5 pounds!!!!! WAHOOO!!!! I have decided to continue with my routine and am adding the Shred Challenge over at Shrinking Jeans to it. I figure adding anything with Jillian to what I am already doing has to be good!!!!
