Playing the Numbers until Payday

Cleaned up the Top Foods Monopoly tickets I had been stuffing in a bag these last months.  We had won a roll of paper towels, a yogurt, and a box of chocolates, as well as some 25 cent off coupons for items on sale at the store.  

$9.50 brought home 20 pudding snacks (for lunches), 5 pot pies (quick dinner Tuesday), 1 free gallon milk(we were out) and three more instant win tickets for baking soda, oatmeal, a can of chili and 18 count Tortillas.  Total bill was $25 for other sale and essential items purchased. 

Win co mailed out a flyer for totally free 1 lb hamburger, BBQ sauce, 2 liter soda, and ketchup.  Did purchase a bottle of apple cider vinegar for learning how to make salt & vinegar chips from scratch (got potatoes on hand) 

Worth the drives and got some reading and organizing brain workouts.
May just make it to next pay check solvent....  

Small things do amuse sometimes.  Grateful for grub.
