While I was at CVS today I picked up a few deals that were 75 percent off to use for white elephant gifts for next Christmas. I was able to get a wine opener and a foot spa normally $20 for $5 each. I also got this really cool popcorn maker that looks like the kind you see at Prospierty Bank but not as tall. I'm keeping that because I thought the grandkids would get a kick out of it. It was normally $59 and I got it for $14.99.
Stop by your local CVS to see what items they have. There were also cards, tags ornaments, bags and other misc. stuff!

ANOTHER METER DEAL AND FREE DISHWASHER DETERGENT
Here is another MM for you at CVS. The Bayer Contour meter is $9.99 and you get back $9.99 in ECB's. Use the $5/1 coupon from HERE to reduce the cost down. Use any ECB's you have to bring your total down to $0 and get back $10 in ECB's!!
I forgot those coupons so I will have to go back tomorrow and do that deal.
Don't forget to put those monitors with all your vitamins and donate them!!
While you are at CVS, use the $2.15 coupon from today's SS and pay $1.85 for a box of Finish Dishwasher Detergent. You could use your overage from the deal above to get some free dishwasher detergent!

MY CVS SHOPPING TRIP
My trip to CVS this morning became complicated when I used the wrong card and bought the Bayer Monitor in separate transactions with the same card. The monitors are usually $41.99 and on sale for $9.99 and then they are giving a $9.99 ECB. When you use the $7 coupon found HERE, you can actually make money. I took that opportunity to buy some Physicians Formula BB Cream. Every PF item is ringing up $5 off plus there was a peelie for $3 on the BB Cream I was purchasing.
So for the BB Cream and the monitor, after using $9 in ECB's also along with the above coupons, I paid $2.44. Not bad for an item that is normally $15.79!
On my second transaction, I thought I gave my other card but I obviously didn't when it didn't produce an ECB at the end. I walked out the door and realized when I walked out that I didn't get that ECB or the $17 for purchasing 2 ROC Cleansers. I went back in and she put the monitor on my other card and gave me the $10 ECB. The ROC Cleansers I thought may be a problem.
They were $10.99 each and I used my $4/$20 CVS coupon. The ad said you would get $17 ECB's when you purchase ANY 2 ROC FACIAL CARE PRODUCTS. The ECB didn't print. She told me they probably didn't mean to give ECB's on that product because of the price but she forced it through.
The final outcome on that card was I paid $2.30 OOP and got back $17 and $10 in ECB's...SCORE!!!

DON'T BE FOOLED BY A NAME
I found this in a Consumer Reports Magazine. I don't know about you but I pretty much trust what they say. They test hundreds of products and their word is good enough for me.
In their laundry detergent tests, Martha Stewart Clean 2X liquid laundry detergent was only marginally better than water alone at removing soils. Tide Ultra Plus Bleach came out on top of the laundry pile in their tests.
I would like to be a fly on the wall when good ol' Martha sees that bit of information!
The other bit of information I thought was interesting was about chickens. Consumer Reports tested 382 whole chickens from 51 brands for incidence of contamination from salmonella and campylobacter bacteria. I don't know what that second thing is but it sure sounds bad! The three major brands, Perdue, Tyson, and Foster Farms all had contamination - but Perdue was the cleanest. The most contaminated were Tyson and Foster Farms.
To kill the bacteria, always make sure you cook your chicken to 165 degrees.
Most of us buy eggs on a regular basis. For most foods the expiration date indicates the last day the food should be eaten. Eggs are an exception. Federally graded fresh eggs in their shells are safe for three to five weeks after the expiration date on the carton, as long as you keep them refrigerated.
Do you remember as a kid making hard boiled eggs on Easter and leaving them out on the counter and eating them? I don't think our family was the only one who did this. I don't think I would do that now!
And finally, let's talk toilets. Do you want to get rid of a stubborn ring in your toilet? Apparently you can cut a piece of Magic Eraser and just drop it in your toilet overnight and it will clean that stubborn ring. Who knew?

NEW YEARS AT MY HOUSE
Hope everyone had a Happy New Year. We had an eventful New Year and it was just doors from our house.
We didn't plan on doing anything. I don't like to go out with all the crazy people. I just want to stay home. We got a call from some friends to go to the beach blast so we decided to go. All went well and we went to bed with neighbors shooting fireworks which seemed way past midnight.
The truck continued and that clump of trees at the end stopped the truck.

At 2:35 my dog woke me up to go out. Nothing was unusual at that time. At 3:00 am I felt my husband get out of bed and when I opened my eyes I could see the police lights outside our bedroom window. We went downstairs and tried to figure out what was going on in the dark.
There were three police cars there and a big fire truck pulled up as we were standing out there. We still didn't know what was happening. Come to find out a car was going around the curve and missed it. Sound familiar? That same thing just happened in front of the Alligator Farm and took the lives of a young married couple.
The car should have made that curve. That is the corner of my lawn in the bottom corner. If a car had been parked there, she would have taken it out. Notice the white house in the background? That is where the car landed.
Along the way it took out a few trees. This is just one of them.
It ended up hitting that tree. The tree prevented the truck from hitting the bedroom where Katie and her baby were sleeping. The airbags deployed because it hit so hard. She left the scene of the accident. They ended up finding her using K-9's and found her by the Bridge of Lions. I took these pictures the next morning. They ended up towing her truck that night. Needless to say she was drunk and driving.
Sorry the pictures are sideways. I didn't know how to rotate them!
