multi-store run!

I start classes tomorrow for spring term...YAY. I am in class from 10:35am-4 then 6-9pm on mondays. It's a really, really long day to say the least. But I have a two hour break to come home, eat dinner, feed the kitty, and head back to school. M. doesn't get off 'till six so i won't even see him until 9pm :( I also am training for a new position at work with better pay and more responsibility. So every week between two full days of classes [mon & wed] and a lab on friday i will be working three tens! uggggh. just gotta power thru!! anyways, this being my last night of 'freedom' I wanted to get the the last few things we needed.

M. and I each 'pay' me $60 every two weeks for groceries, kitty supplies, toiletries, deodorant, make-up, etc. so in essence it's a budget of $60 a week for all that. I have soo many things stock piled that I really think I can get this down every week...I am thinking of stashing 'extra' money away and surprising M. with the savings at the end of the year for Christmas or who knows. Anyways...I am totally rambling...

I normally would NEVER go to so many stores after working all day but I guess the whole last night before classes thing inspired me :) I didn't use a lot of coupons today but I cherry picked. Now we have what we need for my meal plan for the next week and half or two...long enough to get me through adjusting to my new schedule.
