1/3 of my items had a coupon. It was great to see the bill drop.
Now for the downer. I dropped my contact and while trying to find it I broke it. I can't really complain. I have had this pair for over 6 years. I wear gas permeable and when I went to the doctor last year he said they were still in good shape. But the bad part is I also broke my glasses around Christmas time and hadn't gotten them replaced yet. And this pair of glasses I had had since I lived in Chicago over 10 years ago. So all in all they have served me well and given me their money's worth, just bad timing.
Then to top it all off my desktop is on the fritz as well. It started out just not loading anything that was a Microsoft based ~ I.E, Office, Outlook etc. I could still get online through Firefox but that was all I could do. Well I have updated my anti-virus and I had no virus to be found. I backed up all my files, tried reinstalling windows, computer won't let me. I can't find out what is wrong with my crazy desktop. Now it won't even boot up other than in safe mode. So my bff/roommate is going to let me use her desktop that has been sitting in storage since she moved in. At some point I will end up getting a new computer. But right now we just can't afford it. Dh has his laptop and I will borrow the desktop from Nique. My desktop is at least 5 years old so again I can't complain too much just bad timing. When it rains it pours ya know.
But like our sermon last week I am trying to give it God and not have anxiety in this season. God will provide and answer all my needs and prayers in HIS time.

I think your coupon savings is pretty good! Every little bit helps!
Sorry to hear about your computer. If you can hold out a month or so, there will be a lot of "back to school" sales on computers.
Sorry to hear about your computer - now that I'm in school, I don't know what I would do if ours went out! Ouch, I know they are expensive.
I wish we lived close enough to a commissary for it to be worth it - I haven't been to the one in Algiers since Joshua was born!
Hey - do you remember the times you lost your contacts at home in Gretna? Once in your room and once on the front lawn? I can remember looking through that grass and on your bedroom floor for quite a while! What funny memories!
I lost my very FIRST pair in the grass LOL my mom was ready to shoot me yep we were going crazy looking for that one. I have had some experiences with my contacts I tell ya. I lost one at Paul B Johnson state park right after Brian and I got married Found it in all the pine needles though. As for shopping, we shop at the commissary, Whole Foods, Trader Joes and Shaw's (owned by Albertson's) Shaw's has some great deals on their store brands and like this week chicken breast is cheaper there than at the commissary. Whole foods brand diced tomatoes with olive oil and garlic is delicious and cheaper than the commissary. We are trying to stay away from High Fructose Corn Syrup or at least limit our use of it, so WF is becoming a nice source for that. Also with Reuben and Anneliese being soy and dairy free we have to really shop around. I miss the days of one store shopping.
To bad the $ that you saved shopping couldn't cover the computer and the contacts. Just a thought. I hate when it rains.
