Good Kitty!

We usually have the pleasure of hosting a mouse family reunion each year in our home. Once, we went to Florida for Christmas, and upon our return two weeks later, we found at least eight sticky traps full of our winter "visitors."

There have been two or three neighborhood cats roaming our property for a good while now, and we have had no inclination to deter them. Today, my husband watched with delight as one of the cats came out from under our house with a small mass of gray in his mouth.

GOOD kitty!!!!

I love great deals!!

Okay, my whole shopping trip this week went really well, but I HAD to share this part of it! One of our local grocery stores is doing a breast cancer awareness thing this week with General Mills. You get a $3 catalina (coupon for next time, printed at the register) for buying 5 qualifying GM products. In addition, you get a $1 catalina if you buy 3 Green Giant products. Cool thing is, you can double dip, because the Green Giant stuff is on the same list! So here goes; watch this:

I bought 5 GM items and got my $3 catalina on order #1. Then, we move on to order #2:

Cheerios - $2 each box
Cheerios - $2 each box
Green Giant frozen veggie - $1 each box
Green Giant frozen veggie - $1 each box
Green Giant frozen veggie - $1 each box

Total cost: $7

Coupon - $1 off Cheerios
Coupon - $1 off Cheerios
Coupon - $.50 off veggies
Coupon - $.50 off veggies
Coupon - $.50 off veggies

Total coupns - $6.50

My cost for order #2: $.50 PLUS another $3 catalina for next time AND a $1 catalina for next time!!! HA! HA! HA!
