CVS, fruit and a 2 year old turns 3 and gets a haircut

Hello

I made a second trip to CVS this past week  and again I'm very happy to buy so much for just about $3.00 cash 

3 bags of diapers

2 large sodas

2 Dawn dish soap

Easter egg full of tattoos for next year- 75% off

1 Biore

And 6 bottles of bleach (almost a year's supply) 

Reasons why I use Bleach.  - this article explains it  Living On A Dime

I scanned my CVS card and the red kiosk until it quit giving coupons- kept giving different coupons for 6 tries and then it stopped

I used newspaper coupons, CVS coupons and ExtraCareBucks from previous purchases. 

Total dropped from $66.ish to $3.61. 

The receipt says it was a 95% savings. 

And I got more ExtraCareBucks for my next trip to CVS. 

We had a birthday party to go to tonight and we offered to bring fresh fruit.  My daughter was trying to not use silverware at this party so I thought to put the fruit on skewers.

We got the fruit on sale so this turned out to be a thrifty dish.

My husband helped me skewer the fruit.  It went fast and I was glad all our fruit was firm,  I think squishy fruit might fall off the sticks.  

The skewers were very popular at the party and they were so easy for people to just pick up 1 or 2, much quicker than serving multiple fruits on a tray.  

If you want to see fancy skewers, look on Pinterest. 

Ours were very simple, just grapes bought for 99 cents a pound, strawberries for 1.19 a pound and the pineapple was $1.49.  

A pack of 100 long skewers sells for $.99 at Walmart.  

I serve fresh fruit often and I'll definitely be doing fruit skewers again.  

JJ is our April birthday boy.  Yes,  he did get a major haircut, a miscommunication with the fill-in stylist. It was a bit of a shock but he is still very cute

And hair and little boys both grow very fast.  

To do list, etc;

Below is my to do list for this week and I also put a few projects to work on during April.

No grands here yesterday, and with my husband's help, we had a very productive Monday.  

This is the first harvest from husband's little garden- red and green leaf lettuce and a dab of spinach.  

Fresh eggs- my daughter bought them from a student at her school.  

Even if I had to wash them,  brown and blue eggs are just so much more cheerful than plain white ones.  

Saturday night, I got to thinking about Sunday lunch.  So I went in the kitchen and found the ingredients to make a bowl of tabouli salad.  

I also chopped up some potatoes, onions and carrots and found some beef broth and chopped, leftover roast beef and broth in the freezer.  

Sunday morning, it was very easy to start some vegetable beef soup cooking in the crockpot.  

It was so nice to come home from church and know lunch is ready.  

 We had a very relaxing Sunday afternoon after a busy week.  

Sharing this photo because I think they are just so cute and happy

Have a wonderful week everyone
