Money Maker at Walgreens

This week at Walgreens you can get Excedrin for free!
Here's how you do it:
2 Excedrin Migraine: $1.99 each
2 Excedrin PM: $1.99 each
Use:
2 printable Excedrin Migraine coupons (found here)
2 manufacturers Excedrin PM coupons (from the newspaper)
Find 4 of the cheapest items you can in the store to make up for the $0.01 (check the clearance). Do 4 separate transactions and with each you will get a $1 Register Reward! If you do them all at once you will only get 1 RR.

So basically you are paying the tax and whatever extra things you buy to make up for the $0.01. and then you are getting $4 back! I messed mine up...I only did 2 transactions but I paid $0.75 for 4 Excedrins and got $2.00 back!

Yay! Kyle fixed my camera!!!

So now I am going to spend all day uploading pics!

First, I wanted to show our Family Fun Day at the Civic Center. We had to pay about $12 to get in but the kids had tons of stuff to do. They made masks, went "fishing", made bookmarks (that they laminated for us!), saw a goat and some pigs, decorated hardhats, went bowling, decorated cookies, watched a magic show, got tons of little toys, pencils, keychains, coloring books, and Aidan and Jackson got back massages! Colby was with Kyles mom so it was just the 5 of us. The kids really enjoyed it!

Home!!!

So we are back. No damage...from the hurricane anyways. While we were gone our water pipe busted in the front yard. Lucky for us our neighbors stayed throught the storm and noticed and turned off our water for us AND called the water office for them to come repair it. So that worked out well.

Evacuating was HORRIBLE. It took us about 14 hours to get to Austin when it should have taken us about 7. I was sick almost the whole way there. VERY stressful. Better safe than sorry, I know, I know. But we will not evacuate for the next hurricane until the day before and it has to be a direct hit and at least a Cat. 2. So I pray that Ike and Josephine decide to go elsewhere!

Got some good deals today but I hate to post them with out pics! Maybe Kyle will work on getting the camera hook up to work soon. I have so many pics to share!
