Get Groceries Free

We had a very busy day today! It all started at Staples:

If you read my earlier post for the Staples deals this week then you know that they are offering the spiral bound single subject notebook for 1 cent. I took my kids and husband with me today to get these. We each got 6 in our own separate transactions.

(6) 1 subject wire bound notebooks – .06
Tax – .00
Total OOP – .06

Total for all 5 transactions was .30 for a total of 30 notebooks. Last year I thought I did good getting a case of notebooks from Walmart for 1.00 but that case only had 20 notebooks! This year I RACKED UP!

My family is crazy about yogurt in all forms! We love the drinkable, regular and now this Yoplait Thick and Creamy! The name says it all! In fact, Yoplait Thick & Creamy offers such an extra-thick texture that you can actually write in it with a toothpick and it will hold the design!

I was given the opportunity to try Yoplait Thick and Creamy and I must say it is DELICIOUS! It definitely deserves the name it was given.
