Memorial Day started out with:

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! WWWWAAAAAHHH!" as tot2 fell out of bed and scared the living daylights out of me at 5 am. Into bed with us he went (which is a rare occurance but seeing as we have no furniture in the livingroom to cuddle with him on) and no more sleep for me. Between the head in between my shoulder blades, the flailing hands in the eyes and cold toes I think I got 30 minutes of sleep until he fully woke up at 8.

Memorial Day parade was viewed from our front lawn. We didn't stay for the ceremony in the graveyard. The guns going off drive the dog and kids nuts. Plans for the lagoon turned out awesome. The ducklings were so adorable that I didn't mind the flooding.

I'm trying to remember the ducks because the rest of the day was hot, humid and sticky which made me irritable, unmovitated and grouchy. Two bonuses, though. We got the pool up and I have one piece of furniture to sit on in the livingroom now. Netflix and icecream tonight. :)

Sales and Coupon Previews

iheartwags has the Walgreens deals for the next 3 weeks up! I do not know why the flier for next week is not showing up, however the 2 weeks after have both full flyers up in order to check out Register Rewards deals and what not.

Check out Sunday coupon preview here. There are supposed to be 3 inserts but only P&G is up right now.

I was actually able to get the $.99 Aquafresh toothpaste this morning. Mashup Mom writes that they are substituting the cracker Register Reward deal. I don't have a coupon for the other crackers nor a printer hooked up to get one, so not happening. There were little "stickers" in my store on more than just the crackers, saying something along the lines of sorry due to a warehouse shortage this such item will not be in stock. Gah. Everyone makes mistakes but seriously? There have been so many problems lately.

Saw Dust and Chicken *Updated

I've already went back and forth, in and out, then around in order to get dinner into the crock pot because it is rather difficult to move around in my kitchen with it looking like this:

After matching up what I have in my cupboard and reading through recipes online I've decided on Easy Crock Pot Chicken Alfredo. I'm hoping I can find space to cook some rice or noodles on the stove. If not, I'll have to utilize the microwave! Unfortunately, I have no photo to share of what it will look like, so all of us will have to wait to see.

*Update

Saw dust leads to allergies inflamation and I accidentally put the crock pot on "keep warm" instead of high. So instead of having raw chicken at 6:30 we had the above. And for Memorial Day we BBQ'd so hopefully tomorrow with the scattered showers forecasted, we'll warm up the alfredo chicken and add the noodles.

Walgreens trip 5/27

Last Walgreens trip for the week. I don't even want to think about next week, yet. This whole coupon thing gives me a headache. I changed my list again. I don't need the leg shaving cream nor will I probably use it. They were out of milk and toothbrushes and the popcorn was $3.49! Even with the $.55 coupon, I was not going to pay $2.94 for a bag/bowl of popcorn. I still have time to do the toothbrush deal because it does not end till sometime in June. The 2 FREE coupon items are not sold at Walgreens or my small Wal-Mart so they will expire. I added the gum to the list because hubby needs it for work and I needed it to attach a coupon to.  Spongebob candy was for child8 because I felt bad saying no and I could attach a Register Reward to it.

Schick 3 blade cartridges B1G1FREE ($8.99 but lesser priced item=FREE)
Schick 5 blade cartridges $11.99 (I did not realize that these were more than the 3 blade but should of)
2x Taster Choice Single Serve packs 2/$2.00
Orbit 3 pack gum $2.99
Gummy Spongebob candy $1.29

I had 2 $2.00 coupons for the Schick's, 2 $1.00 coupons for the Taster's Choice (which I got in the mail yesterday) and the $5 total in Register Rewards. Paid $8.43 after tax. Receipt states I saved $20.19.  Basically all I paid for was the Schick 3 blade cartridges.  Out of Register Rewards, though.

So far I know I need to get aluminum foil, aquafresh toothpaste and some kind of cracker is on sale with Register Reward (which I have a coupon for) next week. I can actually go in on Sunday morning without the kids because hubby has it off. Let's see if they have anything in stock at opening. According to their online rep, the store is supposed to re-stock daily. However.....yeah (insert video of me rolling my eyes).

Swagbucks Basket Brawl Finals Challenge

A couple months back Swagbucks had a fun contest which consisted of them making two teams of swag people to see which team could earn the most swagbucks in a set amount of time. They are doing it again with a basketball theme. If you are an active swag member it doesn't hurt to try to get the free points if your team wins.

If you have not signed up for Swagbucks, please do here. It's easy to earn rewards. All it takes is either changing your search engine to http://www.swagbucks.com/ or installing their toolbar. I recommend both. In short, you earn bucks for searching, playing games, watching videos, taking surveys, doing offers and more and then you exchange those bucks for rewards like giftcards, electronics and more.
