Good Deal!

I got a really good deal on cereal a couple of weeks ago, but I have been sooooo busy I hadn't had time to post about. I am really quite impressed with myself and I wish I had more room so I could have purchased more. I bought 8 boxes of various Kellogg's cereal for $9.06 at Target. How? Well first Target had a sale- buy 3 boxes get 1 free, so they only charged me for 6 and I got 8. Then there were Target coupons for $1 off 1 box of Kellogg's. Even though I got 2 boxes for free, you can still use a coupon on them because you are still buying them, in a way. So I used 8 coupons and saved $8. Then I had a manufacturer coupon that saved $1 off of 3 boxes, so I used 2 of those coupons for a grand total of coupon savings of $10, and my total savings with the sale was probably around $17. In the end, each box averaged about $1.13 a box! How awesome is that?

Orlando

Ray and I were able to take a little vacation to Orlando for a couple of days, and so on Tuesday we did just that. We got back tonight and had a good couple of restful days. We stayed with Ray's sister, Katie and her husband Eddie. I had an old ticket to Universal/Islands of Adventure, and Ray had received a free ticket in the mail, so we spent the morning riding some rides, had a great little lunch and then spent half of the afternoon finishing up at the parks, then headed back to Katie and Eddie's house. That night we had dinner at Katie and Eddie's house with Ray's youngest brother, Rob and his girlfriend Sherrie. Today we hung out with Katie at the house for just about the entire day and then headed out for the drive back home around 4pm. It was a definitely a nice, much needed break. Thanks Mom (and dad, except I know dad isn't reading this) for watching the kids for us to make this happen! It is MUCH appreciated!
