Tuesday Toot - Paying the Bills!

I pay the bills! Well not all, but at least CVS and the groceries! I began selling things on eBay years ago and I restarted this obsession a few months ago when I realized I had quite an inventory of things to sell. I regularly post about 20 items a week, making anywhere from 50 - 150 a week! Each time I go shopping, I return home and transfer the amount I spent from PayPal into our bank account to pay the bills. I am very happy to be doing my part to help! It's certainly a Smart Mama move!

Tuesday Toot - The Grocery Game's Best Shopping Experience!

As many of you know, I have participated in The Grocery Game for a number of weeks. I have saved over $500 so far! For my Tuesday Toot, I am soooo excited to share my most successful Grocery Game shopping experience!!!

Last Saturday I headed to CVS with my Grocery Game List in hand.

Here's what I bought:

• 2 brand name razor blades


• 2 packs of diapers


• 2 box of baby wipes


• 2 tubes of toothpaste


• 2 10-packs of AA batteries


• 2 air fresheners


• 2 bottles of dish soap


• 2 boxes of band aides


• 4 bottles of baby body wash
  

Guess how much money I had to pay for all this???? Only $12!!! That's it! Plus, I walked out with $17 in Extra Care Bucks to use next week! Looking at my receipt, I spent $12 and saved $87!!! Yipeeeeee!

I really encourage those of you looking for ways to stretch your dollars to look a The Grocery Game. It is very much a smart mama thing to do!

Tuesday Toot - 95 Degree Knee Bend!

My toot....I have to say I'm pretty excited about how I can now bend my knee to 95 degrees. Also, at physical therapy I was able to do a full forward and backward rotation on the bike last week!!! (For those of you who don't know, I had major knee surgery a little more than 3 months ago - I had to have half of my right kneecap removed due to a severe break. It's been quite a challenge with a little munchkin running around!)

See you tomorrow when I list over 10 recalls issued by the CSPC in the past week!!!
