Weekly Savings 5 18

What a great week it has been! My grandparents came to visit and help Nathan and I get things done around our house. They arrived last Wednesday night and are leaving tomorrow morning. Little Miss Hailey has loved having her GREAT Nana and Papa around. She has been spoiled.

The things we got accomplished were:

- Garden boxes set up and filled with dirt (first Nana and I dug up the dirt for the garden boxes to sit on...not fun! haha)

- I painted the outside cellar door (for my hubby) and the railing on our back steps. (I will be painting the back steps as well but could not choose a color.)

- Mowed, weed wacked, planted grass seed

- Cleaned front porch and door.

- Bathrooms scrubed and new curtain liners hung.

- Laundry room re-organized and moved around. Also, Papa hung a picture I got for Christmas!

- All laundry is done, floors swept, dished done!

Whew! What a week and I still need to clean the fans and dust the living room. Not too much for me.

Today was nice because I dropped Papa off at the truck stop to do some work on his truck before they leave tomorrow. If you can't tell...he is a truck driver. It was a shot in the dark that he would get a load to Chattanooga but thankfully he got one! I love his coordinator!

Anyways, Nana stayed home with Hailey and they cleaned up the house a little bit. I went and did my grocery deal shopping! It was nice to be alone. I headed to Walgreens, Target and Publix.

My total saved figures are from the receipts I received. I do not calculated what the original price was before sales and coupons. I am happy with the numbers I see...I am sure I would be happier if I knew the "real" total saved!

I hope this may help you to plan out your shopping trip.
