Heading to Tennessee!

Tomorrow I am headed to Tennessee to spend a week with my family. Hubby is staying home, so I will miss him, but I will have a blast with the fam!

I will have my netbook with me, so will be checking in when I find some wifi.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, a Happy Mother's Day and a wonderful week!

“I need to run by Aldi and pick up some milk.”

I was driving home from the park and ride after a long day at work, (Poor me…sitting at a desk all day.) when Hubby called me to tell me he had just left his doctor’s office. He said, “You may beat me home because I need to run by Aldi and pick up some milk.”

Not a big deal to some people but considering his reaction on our first trip to Aldi, I was pretty impressed. He has now gone twice on his own and twice with me. He didn’t love the first trip, but on subsequent trips, the store has not been quite so crowded.

He does love the prices on milk and bread, so we have not bought either at Kroger since our Aldi opened. Yeah!!

He went once on his own, I think the week before last, to get milk and bread and was shocked that he only spent $10 on that an a few other items.

I don’t know why we run out of milk and bread during the week. LOL! We would always stock up on sale and freeze both, but Aldi prices are so good we don’t have to catch them on sale.

Still loving our Aldi!

Seriously! Go enter it now!

Combat Roach or Ant Killing Strips Giveaway

Combat Roach Killing Bait Strips Review and Giveaway! (Thru 5/1)

It's Spring and you know what that means....bug season. Okay, in Texas it is pretty much bug season all year around. But I know that in most parts of the country you don't have to worry about roaches year around. I really don't have to worry about any kinds of bugs, as our apartment complex exterminates pretty regularly and anytime, by request.

But even with good exterminators, once in a while on of those pesky roaches come in from outside. And the problem with roaches is that if you see one, there are probably already hundreds more that you can't see.

That is where Combat comes in. For years, I have used Combat Roach Baits. As soon as I see a roach. First I kill it, then we go to our nearest store to buy Combat Roach Baits. And they work great! I was thrilled when I was asked to try new Combat Roach Killing Bait Strips.

Combat® Roach Killing Bait Strips formula attracts roaches with the food and water they need. These roach-killing bait strips kill both large and small roaches at the source. The new, discreet design is easy to apply without the mess. Combat® Roach Killing Bait Strips can be placed throughout your home so more roaches can find and eat the bait – resulting in a quicker and more thorough kill.

That is what I am talking about....a more thorough kill! YeeHaw!

We love Combat and these strips are no different. Easy to use. Easy to put discreetly so everyone doesn't see that you feel the need to use roach treatments. Like I would worry about that, but still.

In conjunction with the NEW Combat® Ant & Roach Killing Bait Strips Insider Kit, Combat® is proud to introduce the $1,000 Giveaway featuring NEW Combat® Ant & Roach Killing Bait Strips! Enter HERE.

Aldi, you have Kroger's attention!

First of all, I have to rant a bit.

I got home from work yesterday and found that Hubby had gone to Kroger. I asked him why and he said to get the stuff on his list that we did not get at Aldi last Friday. I said, "Honey, we got the stuff on your list last Friday." He insisted we didn't, multiple times. He was just sure that we did not go to Kroger that day.

I HAD TO SHOW HIM THE RECEIPT from last Friday's trip to Kroger, where we spent $44, to prove we went. Maybe he is just getting senile. But he spent $77!!! And we didn't need anything. Oh, admittedly, he got some good deals as he loves to dig through the manager's mark down bin, but $77! I told him he could not go to any store again this week.

So, our trip to Aldi cost $18.38 and 2 trips to Kroger totalling $121. OMG!! We have never spent $140 in one week at the grocery store. Never. I was close to heart palpitations. I mean, we can afford it, but I don't want to spend that. And we don't need to.

This morning, Hubby gleefully showed me the Aldi ad in the paper and I told him we can't go anywhere until NEXT weekend.

I'm not mad or anything, but MAN! So, I opened an email from Kroger a little while ago and saw this:

Can you read the first line? It just cracked me up. Aldi definitely has our Krogers' attention. :-)


Oh, and everyone needs to go enter my Dial Kids Bodywash giveaway!
