blame it on Cyber Monday

I wrote out a to do list this Monday morning but I can't cross any of it off just yet. 
I took these photos in a rush with my ipod and they are even worse than usual

I have been busy but you sure would never guess it by looking around our home

the sink is full of not clean dishes

the table is covered with coupons to clip and file and some paper work to do

clean laundry on the sofa needs folded and put away

yesterday,  I put up some our Christmas trees but they are not yet decorated

this guest room is full of decorations- some will be used in our home this season but many will be donated to a thrift store as I continue to simplify and declutter

this guest room needs made back up

the craft room- ACK!-  the fall decorations are packed but need stored away

 

and the master bedroom needs to have the clean sheets put on the bed.

So,  I've been home all and it's after 4 p.m.  but I have spent almost all my time working on 8 Christmas gifts.  Some of them are done using a computer and with a Cyber Monday offer.  I've completed 3 and really, really, really hope the other 5 will be completed tonight.  

And I need to get most of the housework done before my grandson gets here tomorrow morning.  

Please cheer me on!   

Is Cyber Monday keeping any of you busy today? 

A fun week for freebies at CVS

CVS has so many deals this week. Most all of these things were free after an Extra Care Buck refund for the purchase price.  I had about $15 in ECBs from previous weeks purchases. I used them as well as manufacturer coupons on a few things.  I made 3 visits to CVS and rolled ECBs onto the next check out. 

Toothpaste-Parmesan-5 candy-Mac and cheese- 2 cans of corn and a bag of chips

3 small packs of OTC meds-wipes-pull-ups- laundry detergent 

 

Milk- floss-4 toothbrushes-gum and candy- and Excedrin

Besides all the items in the 3 photos, I also purchased 6 large sodas.

I spent about $8 in cash on the 3 transactions and ended up with $16.79 in ECBs for future weeks. 

Other stores like Walgreens, RiteAid and Target have similar sales. I like CVS as it is close to my home and this CVS is very coupon friendly store and well run. 

This is the time of year for exceptional sales. If you are needing something, I hope you find a great deal on it.
