Farm Fresh
I ran into Farm Fresh today to pickup a few sale items and get some necessities.  I was bummed that the Free sponges were already gone.  I was happy that 2 of our favorite veggies were on sale.  I know asparagus is pricey but we love it-even the kids!

CVS/Target
I picked up 6 Degree Deodorants at CVS (would have liked some Dove too but my coupons expired the day b/4!) I used $5 ECB’s so I paid $1 plus tax OOP, less than $0.20 each!!  I earned another $5 ECB’s.
I stopped at Target for silly bands and grabbed Pampers Wipes.
$2.39-$2/1 from 06/06 PG insert=$0.39 each
Are your kids obsessed with those silly bands?  Monkeyboy has been begging me to get him some.  I took him to Target so HE could buy them but they only had Shrek and they were girlie so we had to go to 7/11.  Really?

My Harris Teeter and Farm Fresh Trips 05/19

My 2 trips are pathetic.  I couldn’t get to the store until 3pm today due to various issues around here.  Three year olds who wake up at 5am are not pleasant!  The Harris Teeter deals I wanted were all cleared out which really didn’t surprise me.  Several items from Farm Fresh I wanted were also gone.  That did surprise me since Farm Fresh is usually like a ghost town during Harris Teeter coupon events.

I REALLY hope that Harris Teeter restocks!  Johnson’s, classico, kotex, and velveeta to name a few 🙂
