  1. That's AWESOME! We skipped out on TT when we did our shopping last night. After Albie's and Kroger we were just worn out! You made out like a bandit though! Maybe we should have gone too, lol.

  3. The Beef Kabobs were very yummy last night! They were pre-seasoned and everything, we just threw them on the grill. Can't believe what a steal that was!

  4. You did great! I lost out on with some mistakes too, but that's the nature of wheeling and dealing like we do. Thanks for linking up at Moneywise Moms!
