CVS this week

I had to go to CVS to refill a prescription so I did this small deal.

Tide was 5.94 and I used a $2 coupon from yesterday's newspaper on each. 

Charmin was $9.99 and I used a big 25 cent coupon also from yesterday's paper. 

I also used a $6 ECB from last week 

So total purchase price was about $12 and I got back a $5 ECB.

I also bought some stocking stuffers while I was there, but shhh, they are a secret. 

And this CVS had a lot of interesting stuff, on a table by the front door, marked 75% off. 

CVS tip- the coupon machine is also a price scanner if you want to quickly the price of something or see it something is on sale. 

I am really enjoying our new range. It was especially nice for big Thanksgiving cooking.

Right now, I am testing out a recipe to see if it would work for some little Christmas gifts in jars. 

It's baking in the top oven. 

I'll let you know if it works.  

Nuts!

My husbands coworker, the one with a pecan grove, asked us to come out and pick up more pecans "on the halves" meaning we keep half of what we pick up and give the other half back to the owners. 

This is our haul from 2 afternoons. I helped one afternoon and son Bobby helped the other.  The owners had some fancy wire baskets that rolled along the ground that picked up the pecans with a lot less kneeling. So we did some bending and stooping but not nearly as much as we would of without those handy tools. 

I tried weighing these pecans on our bathroom scales. I am no sure exactly how much the containers weigh but my best estimate is we have about 50 pounds of pecans, just waiting to be cracked and shelled. 

I am just amazed with this bounty!
