Shopping deals for today

Walgreens had another of their one day, end of the month coupons today. It was $5 off $20, and my Walgreens made sure the purchase after other coupons was at least $20. I got 6 more Olay body wash. They were 6 for $20, I had a $2 coupon for each one and earned a $7 register reward. (I did this deal twice already) I also got 2 cases of water, not pictured.
My total before all coupons and discounts was $49
My total after coupons was $20 and I have that $7 RR to spend at Walgreens later.
I learn about most Walgreens deals at SlickDeals.net, the forums there explain these deals much better than I do.

This sweet handmade towel is a thrift store purchase, just $1. It is hanging on the oven handle right now but I will store it away until Valentines Day.
A like-new really comfy and sturdy solid oak glider chair and ottoman from Salvation Army for $30. I hope to recover it, even though the upholstery looks fine, I would prefer a different color.

Dutch Baby for breakfast

Doesn't that look good? It was too!

Dutch Baby ( baked puffed pancake)

2 T butter * 2 Eggs * 1/2 cup of flour and milk * pinch of salt

place the butter in an oven proof 8 or 9 inch pan. place pan in a 400 degree oven until the butter melts. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Then whisk in the milk, flour and salt. Carefully pour in to hot butter. (Just pour it in, don't stir) Bake for 20-25 minutes, until it is puffed and well browned. Serve immediately.

I like it with just a little powdered sugar on top. My kids like maple syrup. The recipe book suggests a raisin apple sauce.

This is a very easy, quick and low cost breakfast.

Walgreens Dove Deal

The July Walgreens Easy Saver booklet had a coupon for $2 off every 2 Dove hair items. They also put it on sale for $4.99, buy 1 get 1 free. I had 18 $1.50 coupons on these.

So I combined all the deals today and got 18 Dove products.
My total was $5.34 and $3.93 of that was Oklahoma sales tax. I should of added a small filler item because my last $1.50 coupon beeped.

But I gave that last coupon to the cashier and she was very happy so she could get some shampoo while she was at work.

The $9 Watermelon

Jeff called me and said he bought a big watermelon for $9 from a man selling them at a gas station out of the back of a pick-up. Watermelons are selling at our local grocery stores for around $4-$5 dollars so I first thought he did not get much of a deal.

Folks, it turns out this is a really big watermelon. It weighed 38 pounds on our bathroom scales and measured 37 inches around the middle. And it tastes so much better than any grocery watermelon.

I was wrong, Jeff got a great deal! It does not look too red in this picture but it really is red and so delicious.

It is from Rush Springs, Oklahoma and they will be having their annual watermelon festival in just a few days.
