Cheap Fruit & random thoughts

Nothing too exciting going on here-lots of community backlash because of the LeBron James speech-if you're a basketball fan you know what I'm talking about. Personally I'm just sick of the news, radio, and newspapers talking about it nonstop. Hopefully it will stop soon.

I'm not doing too well with my cleanout/ purge goals.....unfortunately some work craziness, some friend drama(I feel like a referee with their arguing lately), trying to keep up with book club, and all of our summer leagues. I'm still awful at bowling but I'm having fun....I got some fun socks for $0.50 when I was home visiting in Indiana(They have bowling pins on them). Maybe they will make me do better. But I'm still sticking with my 110-120 per game scores.

G. Eagle has some great bogo fruit
I got 2 packs of Raspberries, 2 packs of blueberries, 2 packs of strawberries for $4 total. I found a coupon just sitting in my fruit department said- $3 off any produce purchase. I was excited. Blackberries are also included in the sale but after my long weekend home in Indy with all the blackberry jam, pie, and ice cream we made I don't want to see anymore blackberries at our house for awhile. :) G. Eagle also has milk for $1.98 a gallon this week so I'm happy. I realized recently we've been working hard to clean out my freezer so we've barely bought any meat/frozen veggies/frozen pizza in a while. It's really cut my grocery trips and bill to almost $20 a month the past few months which is why I haven't been posting too many deals. Our freezer is starting to get lower so I'll be watching for more meat deals.

I'll be hitting up CVS, Wags, and RiteAid tonight or tomorrow for the following deals:
CVS-Tide is $5.97 get $1 ECB I also have $1 coupon, Hefy trash bags $6.99 get $2 ecb back(limit 2) and I have $1 off coupons, and Fusion Razor-$9.97 (use $4 coupon from P&G) get $5 ECB back. I'll pay with my extra bucks and I have a $10 off $30 coupon from the coupon machine in store.
Wags- Off bug spray is $3.99, and you get RRs back. I have a $1 off coupon in my purse my mother in law gave me. Not sure about everybody else but my area the mosquitos are crazy this year....starting to feel like a big itchy pin cushion or maybe a mosquito slurpy because they keep biting me.

RiteAid has Listerine for $3.99, I have some UP rewards (or are they call Plus rewards not real clear on that one yet). I have several $1 off Listerine coupons that don't expire until 2011, but I may as well use them. We love Listerine, my parents, DH's parents, and my sister all use it so I whenever I can get it free or super cheap I stock up for everyone.

New Construction-They are building some kind of store down the street from my house. It looks from the outside like it could be a grocery store but there is no sign yet. I'd love a grocery store even if we're going to be here less than a year. G. Eagle needs some competition on prices. :)
