Tuesday's ALDI Trip

Our last stop Tuesday was ALDI.  I had a little extra money in the grocery envelope, and they had some great mark downs, so we picked up a few snack deals to stash for later, and a few things that we needed for our meals this week.  Here's what we ended up with...

1 dozen Eggs $1.79
2 tubs Cream Cheese $1.49 ea = 2/$2.98
1 Ricotta Cheese $1.79
1 pkg Sliced Deli Cheese $1.99
4 bags Gardetto's Snack Mix $0.99 ea = 4/$3.96

Tuesday's Target Trip

Tuesday we also stopped into Target, mostly for milk, and to use up a few coupons.  I picked up a great deal on unbleahed flour!  I also got a HUGE, AWESOME, new dish rack.  I used gift cards to pay, so no oop for me.  Here's what we ended up with...

3-5 lb bags Gold Medal Unbleached Flour $1.22 ea = 3/$3.66!
2-1/2 gallons Organic 2 % Milk 3.59 ea - $1/1 Target Coupon x 2 = $2.59 ea or 2/$5.18

4 Weeks to a More Organized Home: Day 12

Today's challenge involved cleaning the microwave and the stove.  Both took very little time.  I wiped down the stove and washed the spoon rest and burner covers while I was at it.  Everything is nice and shiny now!
 Then it was onto the microwave, which got a wipe down, and the cover and bacon maker inside got washed as well.  Our microwave is very old, so it's kind of stained on the inside, so this is as clean and sparkly as it gets, but I'm pleased, and that's really all that matters.  :)
I also pitched 10 dried up chap sticks that I found in my stock-pile - whoops!
