I won’t lie to you all. I was all about the toilet paper. Who doesn’t love a free necessity. It was fun while it lasted and although I would have liked to have gotten more {who doesn’t want more when something is free?} I’m okay that there is a limit now {1 per card}. I take couponing with a grain of salt. There’s always another deal around the corner and I’m thankful for each and every deal I get.Looking at this picture, you can tell the toilet paper was not even one of my major purchases, funny how that works!

About Heather
are there any coupons for the TGIF snacks?
Not that I know of… but it's still a .03 money maker and no tax for us!
PS. Wasn't there a really awesome birthday at your house recently? How'd it go!
