The weekend is almost here, can you smell it like the cute kitten in the picture? The boy and I are going to do a little food prepping today, for the weekend, to make things run smooth. I am going to make some potato salad which the boy and the hubby love. That will go great with some leftover sloppy joe mix I froze and if the boy wants a snack. We were going to make some chocolate chip cookies and a few other things I will show you later.
One of the things I try to do every Friday is think about where me may go over the weekend. Will we go to Lowes? Where may we dine? Things that I can score fuel points with at Kroger by buying gift cards. The other day I needed dog, puppy and cat food, I buy larger bags and Petsmart is the only place that carries the food we buy. I grabbed a $100 PetSmart gift card and got 4X the fuel points at Kroger. The hubby and I try to fill up our cars together since you are allowed up to 35 gallons of gas each time. I think my car hold 14 and his 10 so we are good, We will at least need 20 gallons of gas total with the 40 cents off per gallon thats an extra saving of $8. If I grab a $50 Lowes card that will be 200 more fuel points and I think we may run to Chipotle for lunch tomorrow since a friend told me about a great buy 1 get 1 offer online a $20 gift card will earn me another 80 fuel points and I am sure I have enough to bring my points to another 10 cents off per gallon. 70 cents total would make my new total about $14 saved in fuel. I hope that makes sense. Another deal Kroger has right now is for Red Robin. If you buy 3 gift cards, and they have them as low as $10 each you get $5 off. I have never eaten there but if you go there that would be a nice savings and if you can find coupons to use thats even more.
We are also headed to the library to grab a couple of free movies. I need to stop and grab my hubby some socks. He has to wear steal toed boots for work and they are rough on the toes of socks. Does anyone have any suggestions on saving the toes without me cutting my sweeties toes off? I think we are going to work on a lighting issue our newly remodeled bedroom. We have the light in the middle of the ceiling but need something more for personal reading on each side of the bed. Our night stands are repurposed drawers that dont leave a lot of room on top to sit a lamp.
I hope you have a fun weekend planned even if its a simple as watching a free movie from the library and eating a half priced meal! If you google chipotle coupon you will be taken to their website where you play a game of making music and when you finish with your song you add your cell number and they text you the coupon.
Lots of Love,
