Thank goodness for a toothache.  Ok, not really...but it’s not *my* toothache, and it meant I got to shop today...ok, it’s still mean.  Sorry, honey.  Fact is, still, Chris stayed home from work to go to the dentist so the boys and I went with him and we went shopping.  Big shopping.  Bread store and more snacks than I ever would’ve bought on my own shopping.  Shopping. :)

There’s way too much to detail line by line...or maybe I’m just too lazy.  At any rate, here are some highlights:

1. •antibiotics prescription from the dentist, free from United’s pharmacy
   

2. •4 cans of peas free with 4 boxes of Betty Crocker potatoes (for which I had coupons)
   

3. •7 Yakisoba meals $0.39 each after sale and coupon
   

4. •3 bags of mini marshmallows free with 3 boxes of hot chocolate
   

5. •a cereal bowl free with 2 Kellogg’s cereals (which I got from WIC in the first place)
   

6. •4 Bob Evans side dishes free with 4 Hormel entrees (for which I had coupons)
   

7. •round steak B1G1 lb free
   

8. •2 dozen eggs free, the first from WIC and the second from a B1G1 coupon
   

9. •a 21lb turkey free with $100+ purchase
   

If I’d thought of it ahead of time, organized coupons and items in the cart, wanted to spend more time at checkout, and had more room in the freezer, I could’ve gotten 3 free turkeys.  As it is I’ll have to settle for this one and probably one next week.
