Can I just say I love CVS and Coupon Shopping?

For the past year I've been trying to save money shopping by using coupons and buying on sale. I've done a great job!

One store I shop at is CVS. I get so much FREE stuff at CVS it isn't even funny. They have a program called the Extra Care Buck program and it's awesome.

I've got some photos of my cvs stockpile that I'll share below:


All my laundry detergent! I no longer pay more than $1 a bottle for Laundry detergent.


Medicine! This gets handed out to everyone we know since it expires so quickly but I'm always getting medicine from CVS


Big box on the right holds razors and blades, in the middle from bottom to top is: vitamins, Makeup, and toothbrushes. On the left the bottom box holds air freshener adn the top box is holding a bunch of Post it notes!

Air Freshners and cleaners, tissues, Charmin wipes, Hair color, and cough drops


Top left to right: Shampoo, Conditioner, Bar soap and hand soap
Bottom left to right: Toothpaste, Feminine products, and Body wash


Box on the right holds mouthwash the other box holds facial cleaners on the far left is misc items


Top box holds hair styler and men's hair dye
Bottom large boxes holds shaving cream/lotion, and Deodorant

This is not showing the stockpile of Toiletpaper, paper towels, cleaning products, gift bags, Dog and Cat food and treats, dishwashing liquid, Food, coffee, soda, and bottled water.

I pay less than $20 a month to bring home hundreds of dollars worth of stuff that we would usually have to buy at full price. It's also nice to be able to give items to people who need help.

Just an update

Well the work on the house has been going slow. Dave's sick so not much has been done. We did pick up paint and shelving for dad's bedroom closet and a door for the bathroom. Hopefully we'll get something done this week.

On the TTC front we should know in two weeks if this month was sucessful or not. We're not holding out hope but they do say it's easier to get pregnant the month following an HSG so maybe we'll get lucky!

Went shopping and house progress

I went shopping last night and bought us a new Grill. We needed a new one as the one we were using came with us from San Antionio and was getting OLD. The new one is BIG and so nice. I plan on grilling up some dinner tonight as soon as Dave gets home from work.


In other news we're still working on the guest bathroom and Dad's room. All that's left to do in Dad's room is paint the closet and finish painting the room. Finish putting poly on the built in desk and lay the flooring and put up trim.

The bathroom needs the rest of the marble layed on the floor and the drywall finished and painted. And then the rest of the wainscotting and trim. The clawfoot tub needs the outside painted. Everything needs installed. We've got everything except the light fixture for over the vanity but we'll get that this week. It's all going to look great.

I'll post finished pictures when it's done. (sorry haven't posted living room pictures it's not quite finished as it's being used as the hold all while other rooms are being worked on LOL

Test results back

Well I got my test results back from the doctor. They were negative. My doctor has no idea why I keep developing an infection in the second trimester causing loss.

So I've been given the green light to start trying again! Woo hoo! The doctor told me that when I get pregnant again that they will be doing the cerclage early (between 11-12 weeks) and I most likely will be on antibiotics the entire pregnancy and of course no sex (I don't know why the doctor insists on telling me this. Every pregnancy so far I've been on sex restriction from the get go so we already know this LOL)

He'll also be testing me for everything under the sun once I get pregnant. Hopefully this will work we want a baby so badly.

I really hope we can have a baby on our own. I don't want to go down the surrogate road but we will if we have to. I'm just glad that option is open to us.
