3. Will eat leftovers for supper.
4. Found a gift for dd's friends birthday party on clearance at Target.

Yeah. Today was triple coupons at HT so I went there and to Walgreens to get my son's medication. I saved $32 on his meds by going to Walgreen's instead of CVS. Then at HT thanks to the triple coupons I had $43 in coupons and $16 in VIC savings. Instead of spending $83, I only spent $24. This food will make be for 7 dinners, 4 lunches and 12 snacks for a family of 4 plus a bag of free cat treats. I LUUUUUVVVVV coupons.

I got the pouch tuna (Kroger brand) for $1 each; I bought 10 pouches-should get us through October.

I washed 2 loads of laundry in cold water, using 1/2 the detergent.

Did turn the A/C back this morning, but set it at 75* instead of the normal *72-we're supposed to have highs in the upper 80's the next few days.

Will be making supper at home tonight.

Got Brian some Baby Ruth and Butterfinger candy bars for his lunches-they were 4/$1 at Kroger.

Used the points on my Canadian Tire card to get batteries, paper plate and paper towels (all for camping) for free. I like free!

Cooked spaghetti for supper even if the kids are sick (my son has high temperature since monday morning & my daughter started a cold today). All I really wanted to do was order pizza. Instead I cooked supper and in the end I'm really happy I did.

Did not spend any money this week except for parking at the hospital and a tank of gas.
