Sales, Sales, Sales!

My God will supply all my needs, according to His riches in glory!

Okay, this week, there are sales everywhere! A perfect week to use your mad grocery skills!!!!

First of all, meat is on sale EVERYWHERE! Buy it up, freeze it, whatever you need to do...but get it while it's cheap!

Second, I usually tell you to ad match everything and go to Wal-Mart. My suggestion this week if you live near Tuscola is to go to IGA first. Usually, they are ridiculously overpriced and I wouldn't go there unless I HAD to, but the prices this week are worth the trip. Caution though: Go there first in case they run out of the sale items (which has happened to me several times) so you can go to Wal-Mart after and get them there and ad match the IGA prices. Here are my favorite sale items at IGA!

1. Kraft cheese in bags (shredded or cubed) are $1.50 per bag!
2. Lay's chips are $2 per bag.
3. Boneless Skinless chicken breasts are $3.99/pkg.
4. Ballpark Hotdogs are Buy one get one FREE (Wal-Mart will not ad match B1G1 offers)
5. Kraft Salad dressings are $2.
6. Fresh Strawberries are $1.50!!!!
7. 10 lbs of Potatoes are $2.49. (There is no way I'll use 10 lbs so if anyone wants half, I will GIVE them to you!)

Movie Correction

Andy just corrected me and said that Debbie Gibson was in "Giant Octopus vs MegaShark", not "Dinoshark"....oopps...how did I get those confused!?!? They were both terrible!

Movie Thoughts by Misty

I have to watch a lot of silly movies because Andy loves movies and I have 3 thoughts to share. The first is that there is no way a ninja assasin could kill 88 people by herself (Kill Bill) and the second is why did the men in "300" just wear underwear and a cape? That does not seem like good battle gear to me. No wonder one of them just got his head cut off...he had on no armor. Also, last weekend on the SciFi Channel they previewed a movie called DinoShark! Seriously? Who thought of that one???? It was terrible and Debbie Gibson (80's singer of Electric Youth) was the star. I think she should try singing again...DinoShark is probably not going to revive her career. Just my basic movie thoughts for the night!

Papa Jeff is....

Papa Jeff- tonight at dinner, we were trying to decide who all the super heroes were in the family. Of course, Molly was Black Cat, Ryan was Spiderman, I was Black Mom (they made that one up), Andy was Iron Man and since you have silver hair, they decided you would be the Silver Surfer!

From the mouths of babes...

This morning we had a doctor's appointment. At the dr's office, they measure your stomach to make sure you are growing correctly and they lifted my shirt and put the tape measurer up to my stomach and Molly said, "Is that how fat your tummy is getting, Mom????" So funny and so innocent!

So then, we went to Chili's to eat lunch. Molly told me she needed to go to the bathroom. I got up and took her and while we were gone, our waitress came to the table and Ryan looked at her and said, "I think my mommy's pooping!" I don't know where he got that, but when I got back Andy told me what he said and I was sooo embarassed.

Just imagine when we have three kids to tell stories on me! Oh my! They are so innocent and so funny!
