After reading about Bento Boxes on many stay-at-home mom sites I decided that it would be a great thing to try with the Pink Sparklettes.  They loved them, especially when I equated a bento lunch with a happy meal, that they understood. 

We made rice krispie treat "sushi", butterfly shaped bologna sandwiches, pineapple/mandrin orange kabobs with yogurt dipping sauce. 

They really enjoyed working on the their lunches for the next day, the girls were all planning on sitting together and eating their fancy lunches that were all the same. 

As soon as I find my cord for my camera I will upload some pictures of their cute Bento Boxes.

I've been to four Walgreen's on different days and different times trying to get some of their coupon items.  All of the stock people never know whether they have any in the back, they won't even bother to look.  This has happened four times to me this week!

On the other hand I did grab two of the Ragu Spaghetti Sauces at 2 for $3.00 with a $.50 off coupon and I did stack two coupons and the ad for French's French Fried Onions and got them for $.49.   

This time I went to Walgreen's in a Foo-Foo area where people don't buy anything with coupons especially at a Walgreens, except I still can't find that $.39 chicken stock.  Yes I make it sometimes, but I never seem to use it or it leaks so I like stocking up when it is a good deal. 

I did the survey for Walgreens but they didn't allow a place where I could complain about their not having sales items, but they must be aware of it because it was one of the first questions on the survey.  Maybe I'll win the $3,000 gift card - lol.  I enter all kinds of contests and have yet to win one yet, sometimes I think I should send away for the list of winners just to make sure.  LOL!

It seems everytime I go to Walgreen's no matter what time of the sale or day of the week they never have the items!  I've been to three Walgreen's since Sunday looking for some of the $.39 chicken stock.  GRRRRR!

On the other hand, I did get two Colgate toothpastes (with attached new toothbrushes) and two taper candles for Thanksgiving for the grand total of $1.97 after my couponing coup!

Check out my savings receipt of $6.64 - lol.  (Wow that would be geeky frugality at its highest)

Well that Bobo has come back to Michigan.  He is staying with me.  He has done a lot and brought me a lot back from Florida.  It is really nice.  I really missed him.  Its like we weren't seperated at all.  I'm holding out on some of the stuff for now, I'm afraid of being hurt again. 

He brought me a rubber boat and paddles, something personal, he has fixed up my kitchen a little bit, bought and put in a new waterpic for my shower, has made me delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners.  We went on a "date" and took a walk along the river and went to a flea market. 

He lets me keep control of the remote control!
