way to save more at Kroger

So last night I took my reusable bags to Kroger with me, just to save some plastic. Well, when I was checking out, the cashier asked me how many bags I had. I counted 7. She asked me if I wanted 4 cents off or gas points. Since I use the gas points to get 10 cents off a gallon on my fill up, I chose gas points.

I called customer service when I got home and asked them to explain the deal to me.

So, for every reusable bag you bring in you can choose to get 4 cents off your total grocery purchase or an additional 5 gas points per bag!

It's not much, but it will add up fast! Not to mention you'll get better coupons from the coupon printer at the register. I got a $1 off your next purchase!

$7 date night

Since we have had a house full of folks for awhile now, I decided it was time for a date night, but since we are saving $$ for our baby to come home. I planned a $7 date night.
We are going to see Night at the Museum 2 at the $1.50 movie. So $3.00 in tickets. On Tuesday it $1 popcorn and drink night. So we won't even have to share popcorn.

I'm looking forward to spending time with my hubby and for $7 - you can't beat it!

party of five no more

So my brother closes on his house tomorrow and he's moving out. And Anna and Chase have an accepted offer on a house.... so our party of five will soon just be a party of two!

Nick and I are thankful to be able to share our lives (and home) with our family, but are looking forward to it just being the two of us.... until it's the three of us....
