I went ot CVS to pick up my prescription that I am almost out of. It was $ 60.00. The druggist said the drug plan would not pay but a few dollars for this drug. It is one that I have to have for my asthma. I looked up in our plan and even if I mail order it, the price is the same. But I have to have it, so I guess I will have to cut back in other areas to pay for it.

While I was at CVS, I did the Pepsi/Lays Rebate Deal. I purchased 3- 12pks of Diet Pepsi and 3 Doritos for a total of $15.00 minus a $3.00 off 12.00 purchase CVS coupon= $12.00 minus $10.00 Rebate I am mailing in for minus $5.00 in CVS Extra care bucks that will show up on my card in 2 days so I make $3.00 on this deal. I would not buy this junk otherwise. It will be nice to have for snacks and drinks over the next month.

I also purchased 2 pair of Magnavision Reading Glasses for $22.00 each on sale for B1G1F and used a 4.00 off 12.00 CVS coupon and got 2 pairs for $18.00. I have no eye plan and have almost perfect vision so this works for me.

Then I went to Safeway and did their $10.00 Instant Rebate Deal:
I got 6 Ragu Spaghetti Sauce for 1.50 each = $9.00 minus .50/2 coupon doubled= 8.00 and then they give you 10.00 off instantly at the register so I made $2.00 on this deal and applied it to a package of meat. I also picked up a pkg. of ground turkey and used my last $2.00 off turkey winetag. I needed the sauce really badly for those days when I don't feel like making my own.

Last stop was the Produce Market where I got 2 lbs. of carrots, 4 lbs of broccoli, 2 orange peppers and 2 yellow peppers for a total of $3.54! I am planning on making stuffed peppers tomorrow with the ground turkey and rice.

Dinner tonight will be my homemade pizza. My pizza tastes so much better and is so much healthier than Pizza Huts. I make my own dough in my breadmaker which costs pennies to make. Then I use a couple of 8oz. tomato sauce that I bought 8 for $1., lots of Italian spices, mozzarella cheese that I buy in 5lb. bags at Costco and pepperoni that I bought with a $1.00 off coupon. I can make 2 pizzas for about $4.00 total. Two same size pizzas would cost be about $16.00 at Pizza Hut. So for a little bit of work, I save $12.00! And they only take me about 10 minutes to make and then put in the oven. That works out to a wage of $72.00 an hour.

Well, it is almost 80 out and I am off to enjoy a glass of 3. Buck Chuck wine on the patio!
