Sunday Shopping

I got some great shopping in today........................CVS, Walgreen's & Target!! I wanted to get to HEB but ran out of time.

My CVS shopping -I bought about $73 worth of goodies and I got all this for under $3 cash OOP-I forgot to use my CVS gift card!! I did this in 3 transactions. I started with $11 in EBs and ended with $14........so I actually got all this for free!

My Wag's shopping-2 transactions and spent a total of $0.33 cash OOP for $21 worth of goodies! I started with a $10RR and ended up with a $10RR!!

My Target shopping-2 transactions-I bought $32.33 worth of goodies and spent $0 cash OOP- $12.33 on a Target GC I received at Christmas and got back $10 in GC for the Vicks!! So I actually spent $2.33 in GCs. The Vicks ended up being about $0.22 each after coupons and gift card.  This size of IAMs cat food is $3 and I used the new $3 couon in the PG insert we received today in the newspaper. The Vasoline lotion is $2.99 -$1 man. coupon and $1 Target internet coupon.

My total for today-I bought about $126 worth of goodies and spent about $3.33 cash OOP!

No Shopping for Jeri

I haven't made it to Walgreens or CVS this week. I did something to my back and am trying to rest it as much as possible. I'm taking my extra super cheap Aleve and using a heating pad almost all the time. I get very annoyed with myself when my back feels like this. I want to keep my regular schedule but know my back will take longer to recover if I don't rest it. I'm hoping tomorrow will be a better day and I can get to both CVS and Walgreens!

Update on Lisa

I am thrilled to report that Lisa has been moved to TIRR (the facility Gabrielle Giffords went to after her horrible ordeal) and will be receiving intensive therapy! My sis informed us that the Drs. adjusted her meds and shipped her off! What a relief!

Crockpot Easy Chicken Posole

I thought I would join this recipe hop! I've been looking it over at Thrifty Texas Penny and have enjoyed looking over the various recipes!

I have a nice crockpot dish that my Darlin Dan loves!

Crockpt Easy Chicken Posole

2 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves-I usually use any chicken I have-we're not picky
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced or use garlic powder if you don't have the fresh garlic
2 1/2 quarts chicken broth
3 cups water
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons chili powder, or to taste
3 cups white hominy, rinsed and drained-I use a big can of Juanita's mexican hominy

Serve with- warmed Corn Tortillas, Tortilla chips, or Tostada shells
Optional garnishes-
chopped onion, chopped cilantro, lemon wedges, avocado slices, radishes sliced thinly, grated cheese
(personal fav-chopped onion and cilantro w/lemon juice squeezed on top)

Directions

Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot. Put remaining ingredients in and stir the top to mix in spices. Cover and cook on low for 5 – 6 hours, or until chicken  is cooked through and tender. Remove chicken from CrockPot and shred or just cut up chicken. Return chicken to the crockpot, stir to combine. Taste to adjust seasonings, adding more salt and chili powder, if desired. Serve in soup bowls desired granishes.
YUM!

Prayers for Lisa

Lisa had a setback yesterday. She suffered a bad seizure and has been transferred to the neurology floor of the hospital instead of going to TIRR-an intensive rehab setting. The family is so concerned and worried about this.  Please pray!

Great Deal on Tennis Shoes

Darlin Dan and I needed some new tennis shoes and I had a plan. We had not bought tennis shoes since August of 2010. These shoes are now looking pretty sad. We wore them out.  At that time, we spent $55 for two pair.  This year we did even better! My plan was to do pretty much all of our Christmas shopping at Kohl's with 30% off plus receiving Kohl's cash and then use the Kohl's cash for our new tennies.  I was hoping that the tennies would go on sale and they did.  So we had $60 in Kohl's cash expiring on Jan. 2. We were able to buy 2 pair of tennies for $20 after Kohl's cash and 15% off the balance (an internet coupon)!! Our receipt said we saved over $100. Now I plan to pay off the credit card balance this month and will avoid extra finance charges. This was one of our more frugal Christmases.

Now how sad is this? At this moment, I'm spending the money I saved yesterday on a new car battery. BooHoo!
