More Savings! :-)

----This was a Target trip from two days ago. I actually got a big bottle of Vaseline Aloe as well, but forgot to put it in the photo!
----Total after gift card and mail in rebates=FREE





[My latest shopping adventures have really paid off in the saving of some cash-ola!!!]

----This was also a Target trip. Several of the items were only purchased because the coupon made the item free and gave me a dollar overage for the other purchases! Total=$3.50-3.99 (can't remember for sure)

----Last but not least was a trip to CVS. I got all four of the Stayfree for FREE!

----Total after coupons and mail in rebates=$2.36!

In other GrEeN News.......

I often say that part of my going GrEeN is about saving GReeN! Well, here is my latest attempt at saving some GrEeN. FORGIVE ME for buying paper items and 'sposies (see previous post "vent"), but check out this deal! I got ALL of this for 1 dollar less than I normally pay just for the diapers! :) I'm so proud of myself!

Out in the Gardens:

We are continuing to harvest tomatoes (Better Boy and Grape) that taste quite yummy. The zucchini and squash plants both up and died two weeks ago, so no more of those (until I make it to the local nursery to buy a flat of plants). The green beans are quite delicious, when they are grown enough to harvest (maybe once every week). Here are a few garden photos.

Vent

Yes I'll admit that I'm not the most crunchy of crunchy mommas out there. So sue me. I must be an awful person because I use disposible diapers and toilet paper and tampons, but guess what! Rome wasn't freakin' built in a day and neither has my desire to be 100% gReeN. The End.

Organic!!

Father's Day Lunch

Tomato Biscuits (homemade biscuit and garden fresh tomato)
Green Beans (fresh from the garden)
Cottage Cheese (JRs Favorite)

The Daddy was impressed, the baby tried everything and seemed to like most of it, and I was happy because it was nearly FREE and almost completely organic! :)

Various GReeN Projects in Progress

Recycling Rain Water

We only have 2 buckets going right now, but wow, we save A LOT of water (and therefore, a lot of money) by recycling rain water and using it in the gardens. The veggies are lovin' it and so is the pocketbook!

Sourdough Bread

The hubs has been hard at work in the kitchen and has been pumping out 2 loaves a week with his "starter" that he feeds and tends. I love not having to buy bread! Again with the....GReeN!!!

Gardens!

We've loved our veggies thus far and eagerly await the harvest of more. We have eaten green beans, anaheim and bell peppers, and a few grape tomatoes from our garden so far. YUMMO!!!

More soon! Maybe even a few photos! :-)
