It's that time of year -- Donation Time!


I just wanted to let you see what I do with all of the stuff I get for free, but really don't need. It all gets donated to people who are even more disadvantaged than us. Just wanted to remind everyone that this is not the season to get the parking spot first, but it is a time when we should think and others and how we can make their day a little more special! I hope that every one is having fun getting ready for the holidays but make sure to take time for others and remember the 'reason for the season!'

Little Walgreen's Trip this week...

With the holidays coming the RR deals are getting few and far between, but I did get a few needed items...
1 Gillette Fusion Razor $8.99 - $4/1 MC - $4 RR = $1.99
1 Dulcolax $6.99 - $3/1 MC - $4 RR = FREE + $0.01 MM
