Long Overdue...

Wow its been awhile since I posted... again. Lol. But again, I just haven't been on many trips. Usually when I have a bad shopping experience, it makes me not want to shop again for awhile.  So I waited until today, the day my rewards expired, to make a trip to Walgreens and use them up. In this case, I did want to have at least a few rewards left, but I was mainly focused on buying stuff that I needed. So I stocked up [A lot] on sponges. We like to wash our dishes off before we put then in the dishwasher, and we tend to go through sponges really fast. I had a stock of about 10, but we're down to the last one. So like I said, I stocked up a lot lol. I did multiple transactions to make my savings even bigger, but mainly because I don't like doing huge transactions. The cashiers tend to get annoyed. So I  split them up at different store or at different times to make it easy and I don't feel too rushed. I'll do my best to give all the details but I did 5 transactions so it starts to get confusing.
On a side note, I feel like I've been slacking on the whole "Saturday Spotlight" thing but I promise things will get better. This week and next are my last weeks of this semester. Then I'm sure the blog will be my number 1 priority lol. Thanks for your patience!

And I have $15 RR's to use in the future. Considering I got 10 packages of sponges which usually cost $4 each, I think I did awesome. I plan on going back this week to stock up on the cake mixes and icings. This is an amazing price for them and many don't expire until late this year. I love making my own cakes and we have 2 birthdays coming up!
