Super Savings Saturday – 10/25

a1

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

The past week was a really difficult one for me. Here in New England, we had torrential rain 3 days in a row. Combine that with a leaking roof and I was in misery! On Wednesday night, I was awake until 4:00 AM, cleaning up a dripping hallway ceiling. Needless to say, this has caused tons of grief and my sleep is completely messed up. I’m trying my best to get back on track, but it’s a challenge for sure.

In addition to that, I had 2 cooking failures: a new recipe for bean soup and a very bad roasted chicken. I was trying to multi-task, which never goes well. I was much too distracted and over tired. (Does anything ever go right with a lack of sleep?!) Hungry Bear took pity on me and we went out for dinner both nights—something we rarely do.

The only thing that went well was couponing. (Seriously, going to Rite Aid was a high point.) Also, I was able to use Checkout 51 for the very first time! Because my phone isn’t great, I could never get the App to load properly. I reset the phone and now it’s working. If you too have been on the fence, definitely try it. I love Checkout 51 and plan to use it regularly.
