A Changing of Seasons.....

Along with summer changing into fall, our life has changed from being fairly predictable, into chaos!  Good things are happening, but it's still a little koo-koo-kachoo.  The kids have of course gone back to school, so we're back to the after school routine of snack, homework, play, dinner, baths, bedtime....all in about half an hour it seems!  Randy's work situation has been changing week to

Rite-Aid Wrap-Up - Paid $7.64 for $118.50!! (9/26/09)

There's a new $5/$25 Rite-Aid PDF coupon available that doesn't expire until 12/19/09!

This may be my last wrap-up for a while (I'll explain why in my next post), but it's a good one - especially to stock up for baby #5!  It would have been an even lower total (approx. $3 profit!)  if I hadn't forgotten a couple things, but I had all four kiddles with me, so it was bound to happen.  =)

I post what I know is valid here only, but if there's a super-duper deal, I'll list it and specify that.Sorry that this is up so late!~*~*~*~*~*~*~
