shopping today

I had a lot of fun shopping and finding the deals today.
First I went to Staples:

There was a coupon in the ad for $5/20 or more, so I picked up some rebate items to make it a good deal.
2 Reams of paper 3.69 each =7.38
1 pkg of glossy photo paper=9.99
2 pkgs of Bic pens 1.00 each =2.00

-2.00 (manufactures coupons for Bic pens)
= 14.37
2 rebates for 3.68 each for paper
1 rebate for 8.99 for photo paper
will receive 16.35 = 1.98 overage:)

Next I went to K-mart, but their clearance toys weren't 1/2 price anymore, so I only bought a pillow. Last week I got a good deal at K-mart so I will show you that one:

And...I went to Panera Bread for lunch (using a gift card I got for Christmas) and got a salad/sandwich combo. I ate the salad and bread for lunch and saved the sandwich for supper. When I dressed like a Cow at Chick-fil-a they gave me an antenna topper for my car, and if I go through their drive through between 2-5 on Tuesdays (until Sept.) with the topper on I get a free chick-fil-a sandwich. It was right on the way home...so I got out of making supper again:)
