Pictures

I finally figured out how to upload pictures on here. However, I don't think I'll ever get to the point where I'm actually able to do it. By the time I got my stuff together (my 2 couponing bags, the mail, etc) and got in the house, the groceries were already put up. I don't want to complain because I appreciate the help. Maybe if I go shopping by myself and don't have any help bringing in and putting up the groceries, I will be able to take a picture to put on here.

5/26/10 Publix Trips

Went to Publix today 2 1/2 hours after they opened and they were already out of a few things on my lists. Again, I didn't do well with having to deviate from my lists. I guess it had something to do with all the couponers out today. LOL Anyway....my dad went and did 2 transactions and did pretty well. Hubby met us there so I was able to get him to do one transaction for me. Here they are:

Since the mistake was on our part and we value your business, consider this a 'gift'." I thanked them and told them it wasn't necessary. Hubby said this makes up for the overcharge on the Steakums from the other day.)
