Late to-do list

Ok, I am up and dressed. Husband is off to work and I will pick up one grandson from baby preschool just before noon. 
I wrote out a shortened to do list and and I am going to try to do as much of it  as I can before I leave for errands. 


The toy room will only need a few minutes to straighten .....
But this ironing will take awhile. I don't plan on tackling it this morning, but maybe I can do it while my grandson naps or during evening TV watching.  

Here I go! I hope you are making progress on your to-do list too.

CVS this week

There are some great deals to be had at CVS this week.  I've read about deals on men's deodorant, toothpaste and shampoos. My stockpiles on those are big enough so didn't buy any more but I did gets these deals. 
2 16 roll packs of Charming
2 bottles mouthwash
2 bottles dish soap
4 boxes cereal 
And not shown - 2 gallons milk
Everything I bought was on sale, I used a coupon on everything and $25 in ECBs from last week. 
I owed $9.03 and I paid that with a prepaid debit card I got from a survey.

I got back $13 ECBs to use later. 


I got a mailer from CVS with a coupon for 25% off any regular price purchase. I hardly ever buy anything there that is not on sale so I don't know how much good it will do me. 
But at the top of the page, all my CVS savings are listed for the last 12 months.
All the savings added up in one place are more than I would of guessed it would be. 
Again, the way to really save at CVS is to shop there consistently and let the savings from one week roll into the next.


The Monday holiday is still affecting what I am getting done this week. I never do much housework on Tuesdays as I usually have my youngest grandson all day. I did get the laundry done and the CVS shopping done today but that's about it.
I plan on making out a minimum to do list and working fast and furious on it tomorrow morning- I'll let you know!

Monday's to do list is being postponed until tomorrow

In the USA, this is a holiday to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King. Schools are out and many workers are off work so that means for us, today was a family fun day. 
Even though it is winter, here it is a warm and sunny today. But we did a snow man craft anyway.
Marshmallows, glue and cousins always make for a fun time.
