Deals for today!

I bought these at QFC, I had $1 coupons for the bars and ,50 coupon for the cereal. I had a credit from the pharmacy on my QFC card, so they paid me $3.40 to take these out of the store.

I bought 40 items at Safeway on the Mix 5 promotion. I had coupons for every product. Total for all of this was $10.01 and I received $10 in catalina coupons to use like cash next time I shop!

No more size 16 jeans, I just put on a pair of size 12 skinny jeans and they needed a belt!

Success

Today I put on my favorite pair of jeans, then bent down to pick up my socks. The pants slid down to my knees! That would be bad news in most cases, but in mine it means that they are too BIG!!! Yeah, another pant size down! It feels so good to be losing weight, I will be ready for a swimsuit by the time we go to Hawaii in May!

$25 lotion

For those of you that know me this post will suprise you! I paid $25 bottle of lotion! I cannot use regular lotions right now because they all contain oils that contradict the restrictions I have on my diet right now. My Dr. recommended the lotion from this site
www.ourtatefamily.com

It is wonderful! I will gladly buy another bottle when this one is gone. It softened all the rough spots on my body, and helped my daughter with her dry, excema dotted skin. The lotion did not sting her skin like all the others we have tried.

Try it! The service is slow, but worth the effort!
