Shopping with the Hubby 04/16/09

Today we went out to Office Depot to use our points gift card and turn in 4 ink cartridges. We used our gift card towards a mouse for the laptop, and some snack mix Joe picked out, and only paid a dollar and change for both, YAY! After that we stopped into CVS to scan my card, and they had some of my rain check items in from a few weeks ago. I got...

2 Sobe Life waters Sale BOGO Free - BOGO Free MC = 2 Free

1 Glade Sense & Spray Rainchecked Sale $5.99 - $4.00 MC - $1.00 ECB Earned = $0.99

2 Scubbing Bubbles Action scrubber starter kit Rainchecked Sale $2.99 ea - $2.75 MC x 2 = $0.24 ea or 2/$0.48

Put $3.29 on CVS gift card & Received a $1.00 ECB back.

We also stopped at Target so that I could check out the clearance racks, still trying to find some decent & inexpensive spring/summer clothes. I got a black short sleeve shirt, cotton, but nice enough to wear with skirts to church $1.24. Also picked up a pretty blue screen printed shirt $3.24, and a pair of clearanced Easter socks $0.99. Total for all 3 pieces $5.47 + Tax

Joe and I had a wonderful Easter Sunday. We started the day with exchanging baskets, then on to church, and 2 rounds of family dinners (Joe's family for lunch and then my family for supper). Even our kitties enjoyed the holiday!
