Quick stop at Walgreens tonight to get some candies  and shirts for my nephews:)

 

 

Quick trip to Walgreens tonight to get their Suave promo this week.

 

I made chicken stock earlier this week using our crockpot. I’ve made this recipe twice already and this stock is really good, so flavorful.  If I can help it, I will probably use homemade chicken stock/broth in my cooking.  It’s such an easier and healthier version compared to “Swanson”.  The recipe is from Ina Garten, my favorite Barefoot Contessa.  I think I’ve seen all of her T.V. episodes.  I love her!  Her recipe used the stove top while I did mine using our crockpot.

Directions

We stopped at Target before heading out to dinner and I’m happy that there weren’t any  lines tonight, so it was a quick checkout.

I shopped at Walgreens and Target today.  I had register rewards that I wanted to use and Target coupons that are going to expire this Sunday.  It’s so nice to shop at Target around evening because there’s no line for the cashier:-)  I will give all the fruit snacks and most of the things I got today at Target to my family back home.  I just got most items because with coupons they’re all cheap and I know how much they will love them back home.

I ordered some things at Amazon weeks ago using my swag bucks rewards/amazon card and I got them this week.  I was excited knowing that I paid nothing and I have all the things I wanted for free. SCORE!!!!

My quick trip to Walgreens Saturday afternoon to use my register rewards and avail the sale/promo for my favorite conditioner and candies.

My shopping this week from Fred Meyer and Walgreens:

I shopped at Walgreens and Fred Meyer (kroger affiliate) today.  I wanted to get some coffee creamer at Wags (sale for 2/$3,original price is $2.49). Luckily,I got some pretty good deals at their clearance section with the vegetable oil and hand sanitizers(original price $2.79, clearance price .69 cents). For my Fred Meyer trip, I used coupons on most items except for the milk and veggies.I think I did OK:-), Hope you had great savings!!

Yesterdays shopping was at Target: I paid $17, the original price of $32..The sandals was my fave deal!

I shopped at the Asian market and Fred Meyer(kroger affiliate) this week. I only took a picture of my FM trip.My favorite was the organic tomato sauce(original price 99 cents,sale price 65 cents) and the milk (original price $1.85, sale for $1).

I shopped at Walgreens and Fred Meyer this week. I had a couple of RR from wags that I wanted to use because they’re about to expire. I really didn’t want anything from Walgreens this week so I got something that I can use in the future, thus I got packaging tape.  I plan to send something to my family in the Phillipines before the year ends and I will be using lots of packaging tape.

For my Fred Meyer Trip (Kroger affiliate) I took advantage of their mix and match promo this week.  My husband’s favorite cereal was included in the promo so I got 5 boxes (he’s been asking me since 2 weeks ago when can I get him Life cereal, but I told him to just wait another week and they’ll be on sale soon:-).  They also have a good deal on their milk this week ($1 for half gallon,normally they’re $1.85).  I also splurged on the Organic Chanterelle mushrooms because I wanted to try a recipe I saw online that need this kind of mushroom.  I organized our pantry this week and realized that we only had 1 ketchup and FM had ketchup on sale this week too, so I got 2.

Part of my “summer bucket list” is to clean and organize our house, one room at a time! This week I started with our pantry and laundry room.

In our laundry room, we do have another pantry(smaller) where we put our opened boxes of pasta,cereals,and more condiments and candies.
