Extreme something or other

Stayed the night at J's. haven't been to bed yet. Going shortly....

Just got back from Publix, where I took advantage of a bunch of coupons and bogos. Coupons, like so many other Good Things in my life lately, courtesy of Mb.

Got two packages of Morningstar Farms black bean patties for 19 cents, regularly $4.19 per box. (Yes, you read that right.) I had four $1 coupons, two manufacturers and two store competitors, which they match.

Also got two boxes of Raisin Bran (15 oz) for $2.49---they were 50% of Kellogg products 15 oza or larger, an instore special good Saturday and Sunday only, AND I had a $1 off coupon for purchase of two boxes.

Did the math and realized that a quart of store brand chocolate milk was still 10 cents cheaper than Nesquik even with the coupon.

Gotta go, brain is fixing to shut down. But at least I have the makingds of lunch when I wake up. J is off rescuing a dog. Long story. Later--!

Nineteen cents for veggie burgers? That's awesome!

Grocery coupons have been thin lately around here, but an Aldi opened up in the next town up the road from us, so that's a major savings. We went up two weeks ago to stock up and have needed only milk, some fresh produce, and cat litter since then.

19 cents for TWO packages. I think I'm going to be hooked on couponing!

TWO! Hon, I bow at your feet. I can usually get 20 percent off groceries with coupons, but I've never managed as well as you did.

Well, bogo helped, and Mb's research prowess did the rest.

How's the puppy?

Miss Rosie is fine as can be and growing like a weed. She's probably going to be a tweenie -- between mini and standard -- because she already weighs ten pounds. Her "feathers" are coming in on her legs, body and tail, and she's just so cute.

She was sick with an infection when we got her and now that's cleared up, but her platelets are still low and she has to take steroids for two weeks to build them up. We're hoping next month she'll be well enough to be spayed. She and Ollie Cat get along well and actually play a little together, but Zip still hates her. Well, Zip hates everything and everyone but me, so that's no surprise. :D

Despite that legendary doxie stubborn streak, she's made great strides on house training and goes to the door to whine and scratch when she needs to be let out. I taught her sit and stay and we're working on "shake hands," which is tough because she's so wiggly. But she's proven to be very smart, so she'll get it eventually.
