Morning doings

I baked a New York Crumb Cake for breakfast, it was delicious and this home smelled so good for awhile. Recipe.  I made just a half recipe today and baked it in a 8 by 8 inch square dish.

But it doesn't smell good anymore! I am using this time without the grand babies here to do some home keeping,

There is vinegar running through both brewers to remove the lime deposits.  That smells pretty strong. 

And since that smells bad, this seemed like a good time to run the self cleaning cycle on the oven. 

The oven was overdue for a cleaning do it may be a few hours before I can turn it off.

It may smell bad for awhile, but I will be happy the clean results from both tasks. 

The laundry is going, I hope to clean the floors and I already cleaned both bathrooms. 

If the smells get to me, I will go outside and do some much needed trimming of the rose bushes and move some bulbs. 

Anyone else cleaning today?

This weeks CVS deals

When I clipped the Sunday coupons and looked at the new ad, I made a CVS list - just in case I had an opportunity to shop there. After being away from home for the hospital stay, I am really happy to stay home and did not know if I would shop there this week. Then one of my husbands prescriptions was switched and CVS called to say the new one was ready, so I did a little bargain shopping on the same trip to get his medicine, 

I had $16 in ECB from previous weeks. 

Everything I bought was on sale. I used 3 small coupons on the 54 rolls of Cottonelle

A scanner coupon to get the paper towels free

A $2/$10 scanner coupon on the Caress as well as 2 $2 coupons. 

A $1 coupon on the deodorant

I spent $14.07 and got a $5 ECB for the next shopping trip.

I'm sure glad I made that list earlier!
