"Today's" photo is water. I'm not posting the expected picture of the ocean (like I ever go there...) or lake (in Florida? Yeah right..).
Every year for my birthday since I was 18, my mom has given me a "Supermarket Sweep" of sorts. The rules were simple: I had one grocery cart. I could put whatever I wanted in it. It could not pass the top of the cart (yes, Momma carried a tape measure...still does!) and the bottom was only for toilet paper, paper towels, and soda. The first year, I was so excited I just started throwing stuff in and I think the total bill was around $150 or something like that. After that year, I got really smart about it! I would fit things into that cart like a jigsaw puzzle and every year, the total kept going up (much to my Mom's horror/delight). We always have a great time- it is a lot of fun for them to heckle me while I carefully place stuff in the buggy and there are always many laughs!
This year, we did things a little differently. Since the whole couponing phenomenon has happened, and my Momma and I both attended a couponing class by my friend, Kathering, we decided that this year we would mix it up. We combined our coupons and Momma gave me the amount of money that I spend on my trip last year. Well, between the last couple of days and multiple trips to Winn Dixie, Publix, CVS and Walgreens...I have spent only 3/4 of the money I spent last year...and have saved over $250 so far! Best Supermarket Sweep yet.
For this reason, my water picture...
And there's more where that came from! :) Parents- this is a great idea for college students...just sayin'!
Hope everyone has a great day!
Umm crazy! Love it!
