A Quick Dollar General and Top's Shop

Yesterday, I forgot to pick up the hamburg rolls for our cookout today. So I had to go out to get them on sale for $ 1.29 and  I picked up a YoCrunch NF Greek Yogurt Parfait using a Free Catalina Coupon. The $ 1.29 would have been put on my free giftcard but in my haste I forgot to use it. 

On the way to Top's I stopped at Dollar General and purchased 4 Spic and Span Antibacterial Sprays that were a $ 1.00 each and I had $ 1./2 IP coupons. I also picked up a 3 pack of Ivory Bar Soap for  $1.25 minus a $ 1.00 manufacturer's coupon. So I paid $ 2.67 OOP including tax.

I hope everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day picnics. We are having a wonderful day especially since I came back from shopping to find 2 videos that Michelle sent of Alexa.  Alexa knows her nursery rhymes and was reciting them for us and blowing us kisses! I SO miss her! We will see you soon Alexa.

Oh, oh I so need spic and span, THANK YOU PRECIOUS!!! I have to go look for the coupons and use them. Enjoy your day w/ the cookout, the weather has been nice for once! Enjoy the videos of Alexa, how cute!!!

We had our "cookout" yesterday w/ the ribs & sides. Today I made "breakfast for dinner since it was just the 5 of us". We had waffles served w/ homemade whipped cream and fresh strawberries & turkey bacon.
Meanwhile, I noticed that the kids had opened up 3 different bags of shredded cheeses w/ just a little left in each bag. *this is the Precious frugal tips I have now incorporated in my lifestyle*

I quickly defrosted some ww flour tortillas and made some mean "breakfast quesidilleas" (sp). I used the various cheeses and some crumbled turkey bacon (dinner) w/ some scrambled eggs. Now dh and the kids can have a nutritious and FAST breakfast that didn't cost me anything using what I had...

So that is done, the house is spotless... I think I'm gonna get a glass of wine and chill.

I worked this a.m. so I am truly tired!!

You and yours have a marvelous evening!! Thank you so much for all you do!!
