PITA and I had lunch today with MUM and her son, then off to DG for the last of the Libby’s vegetable coupons/sale. You know, the one where I bought 14 cases of vegetables for about .12 a can WHEN I COULD HAVE WAITED AND GOTTEN THEM FREE! ! Grrrrr! ahem. excuse me…  The problem with waiting on this stuff is that 1) I can’t predict the future and 2) I can’t predict the future. If you think .12 a can is a great price for Libby’s vegetables, then go for it and rejoice that you still have some coupons when it’s free. Any way, imagine an additional 30 cans in this picture, done in three sets: mgr said that the registers were limiting the purchases to 12 a transaction. So I did the three, moaning and groaning loudly over having to pay “.23!” “.06!”, etc. Her son thought this was hysterical and kept laughing – mine is inured to this, obviously. Glad I can still gladden the heart of one and embarrass the soul of another.

Then it was off to Target in search of the elusive clearance pj’s – have that Target coupon for $10 off three sleepwear items. What, you thought I would pay full price? Nada, zip, zero, so made me some happy scents with the Air Wick candles. I threw in the Secret and Olay bars because I needed the overage to get the 2 lavender-scented candles for cheap – the other scent was covered by the three $3 coupons I still had. If you clip out the $5 off Olay when you buy Secret deodorant from the 10/31 P&G, you can just get the trial size Secrets and a single bar (this Target only sold the doubles) of Olay and $5 will come off your order. Can we say $1.54 overage for each coupon? I know I can! Ended up spending 6.39 (of which $2.70 was tax), which I paid with one of my many razor gift cards.

Hurry to use these coupons before they expire on 11/30.
