Greetings from the Coast

Happy Thanksgiving to you!
(All 9 of you! Maybe you won't see this ~
it's been so long since I've posted anything that you've probably lost interest!)


Our family is enjoying several days at the coast.  The weather has been beautiful.  I've actually been able to catch up on some reading and mending.  I'm working on a new smocked dress for Melissa Anne and hope to have it finished before the year ends.  Can you believe it's almost Christmas?  The days pass so quickly. 


We also hit a few goodwills nearby and the girls found some nice tops.


Lillian and I hit CVS for several freebies.  I went in with $10 in extra bucks, spent $5 out of pocket, and left with $14.20 in extra bucks, plus everything pictured.  (Not to discourage anyone, but it did take 5 transactions.)  I was trying to avoid spending anything out of pocket, other than tax of course.  Coupons used were $0.30 for the Carmax, $1.00/2 for Herbal Essence, $1.00 for the Eucerin and $1.00 for one Colgate.  So basically, I spent $0.80 for $65.00 worth of goods!  (That is the "on sale" price.)


Several of these items will make great stocking stuffers!

What great deals have you found recently?

  1. What great deals you found! I made a very similar purchase to yours - it's always fun to get free things at CVS (especially candy!).
