The gals on the Cub Foods forums were great and alerted me to the deals at the Minnetonka store. The had specials going on for celebrating their 25th store anniversary. Thanks gals!

The pic below is the first one. This is not a store that doubles but will take expired coupons up to 5 months past date! Total before coupons was $54.18 and after coupons it was .60! .30 was tax! That is a savings of 99%! I was able to work the coupons in my favor..there were ONLY 5 free coupons in the whole bunch...grapes (free pound), bananas (free pound), Glucerna, pop, and Pace. On the receipt, it is the 3rd one listed. I also received a 10 cent off a gallon of gas up to 12 gallons...saving me another $1.20!



My next great shopping trip my total was $89.76 and my final with coupons was .69 (.45 was tax) ! I saved $90.07 or 100% savings! Though I have to be honest, I did use a $10 cat from before, so my savings would of been 88%, which is still good! Receipt scan is the middle one. Received another .10 off gallon gas coupon = $1.20! So in the end, I made a little money on this one with the gas coupon.



My last one for the day was another great one. My total would of been $117.57 and after coupons it came down to $4.71! I saved $112.86 or 96% savings! I also got a .20 gas coupon saving me $2.40 in gas! The best deal was the 3 packs of meat that used to cost $10.59 (marked down to $1.99)and I got them for FREE by buying 2 Kraft products (salad dressing) and a tearpad coupon.

Her famous words are ... "There is so much to remember". lol

I was getting tired of driving the same corners and the same stop signs, so I had her take a different road. This road is busier than our streets in our neighborhood so I put on the flashers to warn people that may be behind us to slow down. DD was able to make it up to 25 MPH though, so I was impressed.

We were coming up to a stop sign and I told her to take a left up ahead. Apparently she didn't care about the stop sign, just that her turn would be smooth. Ooops. I had to scream stop and I put my foot up on the dash (my pretend break peddle). lol She stopped in time and then turned left. I wasn't mad as she thought I would be. I just started to laugh and it put a smile on her face, knowing that I wasn't upset.

We ended up going around a quieter area and then back on the road. We made it home safe and sound after a few more turns and she knew how to get home! ]]> Kmchamplin http://www.afullcup.com/forums/blogs/kmchamplin/293-drving-passenger-seat.html Renewing Old Friendships http://www.afullcup.com/forums/blogs/kmchamplin/292-renewing-old-friendships.html Mon, 02 Feb 2009 15:48:10 GMT I think it is great when two people can forgive each other for what happened in the past and focus on the future. I was part of that this weekend at my brother's house and it was so good to see.

So if there ever was a misunderstanding in your life and you don't talk or see the other person for whatever reason...take a step and say Hi.

Of course it is also nice to hear those words "I'm sorry" also. ]]> Kmchamplin http://www.afullcup.com/forums/blogs/kmchamplin/292-renewing-old-friendships.html Do you ever feel like you have lost your friends? http://www.afullcup.com/forums/blogs/kmchamplin/131-do-you-ever-feel-like-you-have-lost-your-friends.html Thu, 15 Jan 2009 04:54:54 GMT Sounds like a strange title, but it is a good question.

I have , at least what I thought, a close couple of friends and it feels like we are drifting apart. Is is because of our interests have changed? Is is because new people entered the picture? Is it because people have left?

I just know that there is an emptiness in my heart as I am the one that seems to have been left out and I am angry at myself and at them. There is no one to call to share in my excitement over a great deal. There is no one to call to complain that I had a bad day. There is no one to share in the excitement of something my kids did.

It just kinda sucks as I thought the friendship would never end. Apparently I was wrong.

Maybe it is just time to give up. ]]> Kmchamplin http://www.afullcup.com/forums/blogs/kmchamplin/131-do-you-ever-feel-like-you-have-lost-your-friends.html Official Mom of a teenage driver http://www.afullcup.com/forums/blogs/kmchamplin/11-official-mom-teenage-driver.html Thu, 08 Jan 2009 21:50:40 GMT My 15 yr old DD passed her driver's permit yesterday.
