My Plan for Walgreens 6/26

Today is the only day to purchase Renuzit Crystal Elements Air Freshening Crystals 18oz are $3.99 on an unadvertised sale. There is a coupon that expires today from the 6/12 RP insert for $3. I've got at least 30 coupons but I'm not up to buying that many at the price of a dollar. So I'll probably just play coupon fairy and only get 3 or 4 for myself. I've got a huge box of candles and air fresheners that I rarely use now anyways.


Then there are Twizzlers that are on sale this week 2/$3 = $1 RR

I have some $0.75 blinkie coupons so I'll pay $1.50 and final cost will be $0.25 for each package after the $1 RR.

There is also Carefree Pantiliners 36-60 pack $1.99 with a $0.50 coupon from the 3/27RP that expires the end of the month or that came out today in the 6/26SS. Combine that with a Walgreens coupon from the July coupon book for $3/2 I can pick up 2 packages for free.

There is also a $1 printable coupon here for Scotch tape, packaging tape or magic tape. This combined with the store coupon of $2/3 will make these $.50 a roll.

I also have some rain checks for Crackerfuls that I want to see if I can find in stock.

Stockpile- Body Wash, Toothpaste, TP, Laundry & Hangables

 I've ran out of hooks and it has left my peg board a mess.

My Stockpile- Deodorant, Hand & Dish Soap, Hair Care

Expired Medicine

I'm very saddened to see how much medicine we let go to waste. I couldn't quite find an organization technique that worked for us at our last apartment. My honey is horrible at having to look for things that he'll just open a new box instead of even looking to see if there is one already open.

Some of these items I feel especially bad that I hadn't marked expiration dates clearly on them so I could have shared a few items with family that would have used them.

Oh well... We're at the mid-year point and I've double checked my stock and rotated and orgarnized everything by date so this hopefully won't happen in the future. It's definately time to stock up again for the winter.

My Stockpile- Medicine, Fem. Products, Etc

30 Rolls In Each

My Free Sample Basket

 Feminine Products

My Stockpile- Food Storage

I'm Back

I've taken a very much neglectful time out. I needed it to get my groove back into wanting to coupon but my poor pantry has taken a drastic hit. I've been doing pretty well with my dry storage of bath & beauty, laundry & dish soap, and medicines.

So from this point I will be documenting my journey into restocking my freezer and pantry. I also want to start following a stricter budget. We've been blowing a ton of money going out to eat because we didn't know what to have for dinner. So maybe until I get my spending in order I'll take a photo of everywhere I'm spending money.

Here's hoping for a great re-start!
:D

**Day 64** Weigh In

I've been determined this week that the scale was finally going to start giving me good numbers again. I've dropped down to 243.2 lbs two weeks ago and quickly gained 5 lbs back. I wanted those numbers again. I was so happy! My honey was proud of me. And he offered to give me $300 if I lose 20 lbs. I was only 12 lbs away from that goal then.

Today I am proud to say that I lost -3.5 lbs for a total of 244.5. Yay me! I'm so happy! I just feel bad that it is a weight loss of little excercise but I did watch what I was eating. My honey has been staying with his family for a few weeks now and I think that has helped a lot with my diet. It's sad to say but without him I really have to think about my food. Before I could just tell him what I wanted for dinner and he'd make it. My honey is a big muscular man and he does like to snack a lot too. Everytime he'd make a snack I'd want one for myself. Well now with him gone... I only eat my healthy snacks and really have to think about dinner since I'm cooking it myself. I hate cooking too so I only eat when I'm really hungry. No more eating just because.

Yay!!!!! I'm just SO happy!!

Eek! It's been over a month!

Today is day 63 and I'm sad to say that I haven't blogged in over a month. I've missed it a lot, it keeps me accountable. Without my blogging I haven't been eating like I should. And I definitely have not been working out like I used to. I feel like I've been on a roller coaster with all the ups and downs with my weight loss.

The end of February I started my period and it had really thrown me off. I wasn't in the mood to work out, I was completely being a baby.

In March, I took the dog to the park and went for a mile walk a few times a week. I haven't touched the wii for anything more than weighing myself in the mornings. My diet kind of took a hit when our income decreased. I wasn't able to buy everything I needed for my E-Mealz and had to improvise.

My family came down for a visit at the end of March and I was down to 243.2 lbs., my lowest weight so far. Unfortunately mother nature stopped by for her monthly visit too. I tried to make good decisions when going out to the restaurants but I slipped up and the scale reflected that. In one week I gained back almost 5 lbs. Ouch ='(

So here we are now in April and I'm feeling motivated again. Tomorrow is my weigh in for the week and I'm feeling pretty hopeful. Last Friday I weighed 248 and have been steadily losing everyday until today which I had a slight gain. I'm hoping for 2 lbs but I'll be happy with whatever I can get.

I don't have my water pitcher any more and really need to purchase another one this payday. I've been feeling kind of dehydrated and really hate dipping into my emergency stock of bottled water. I've tried drinking lots of milk and apple juice but I miss my nice water bottle.

Today I got my new E-Mealz menu for the week and I'm really excited to get back on track with making my dinners and taking pictures. I'm kinda hesitant about doing my workouts again. With so much time off I know that they are really going to kick my butt.

Oh well... until tomorrow!
