It has been too long....

Hello everybody! I bet you guys were thinking I died or something.. but NOPE! I am alive and well.. I've just been outrageously busy with school and my field work. Not only am I moving non-stop for like 12 hours everyday, but even the weekends have been busy for me! Finally, I had a chance to update you guys on everything. I have only been able to make shopping trips about once a week. Just to show how busy I am, I don't think I've been grocery shopping in a month!! LOL thank goodness for having a stocked up pantry!

Now I know its been a long time and the deals that I'm going to mention are long gone, I still like to share them so I can keep track of my spending and savings, as well as let you guys see how great deals are achieved! So here I go...

Also, I have not been keeping up with pictures so I'll just have a few random pictures from my trips over the past few weeks.

I wish I was able to show pictures of EVERYTHING I bought but a lot of it has been donated already, so here are the pictures that I do have! Hopefully it gives a perspective of how much you can really get for such a low price at Walgreens when you put some effort into it!

Here is a closer look....
