3 More Days / Lots of Cereal

Well its defiantly coming fast. We only have 3 more days till we move. And the worst part of all is I really haven’t started packing or cleaning ahhh. I defiantly have a lot to do today. But I’ve got to admit it’s really hard to pack while David’s around. We just have way to different ways of packing. For example he hates folding his clothes and putting them in a suitcase. He wants to leave all of them on the hanger and just lay them down somewhere. I don’t like this way because my clothes always seem to fall off the hanger and land in dirt. Second he doesn’t want to unpack the dressers. He says it will just be easier to move them with everything left in them. On this on ya it might be easier but it makes it a lot heavier and personally I don’t want drawers sliding out while their taking it down the stairs and my underwear going everywhere. :) He is so funny about packing. I’m prolly not easy to pack with either because I usually think that I can pack better than him. When I was little and we'd go on trips, or moving back and forth to Boise, we could only take so much, but of course I had to bring everything, so I just got really good and packing really tight. Packing is like one giant puzzle piece to me and it can be fun it I have time and can do it my way :)!!!! So we will just have to see how it all goes. I really want to be down in the trailer when the boys bring stuff down so I can organize it and get it to fit tightly so it doesn’t move. :)

So last night David and I went to Albertsons. David’s mom told us about a cereal sale that they were having, plus I had some double coupons. We ended up getting 13 boxes of cereal and didn’t spend that much at all. On certain Post brands if you bought 5 (for 8 something) you would get a $5 off coupon towards your next purchase. So we bought 10 boxes and got 2 $5 coupons. This is how we used it. We ran the first 5 boxes and then ran the second 5 and applied a $5 coupon and then used the next $5 on the rest of our items. It was really nice because we saved a lot of money. We thought that you had to use the $5 coupon on cereal so that’s why we bought 10 boxes. But when we got to the check stand we were told differently and so it was a nice surprise to get $5 off our other groceries. But I was so dumb and didn’t think about using my double coupons on the $5 coupon. I didn’t think about it till i got home. If I used that then I would have gotten $10 off my other groceries and could have gotten $10 off 5 boxes of cereal (instead of just $5). Which mean I would have had store credit, which I could have applied to my other groceries! (Hopefully you followed all that) Darn my hide, I was pretty disappointed in myself because the double coupons expire today and I don’t need any other groceries because we are moving. Oh well it was a learning experience for next time!!!!
