What a day, what a day!

So I got to sleep in early, bonus there. Took Kelly to work, found out that Michael was right, he does work in the freaking mountains, lol... I was a bit worried I'd make a wrong turn on the way back and get lost, but I didn't and had a very fast drive home. The traffic was perfect. Almost missed my exit from 520 to 405 though... That would have sucked, cuz that would have tacked a lot of drive time onto my commute back. Anyhow, so we went grocery shopping (Vicki, Alex and I) and had a VERY productive trip. First off, coupons are good... club cards even better, and grocery stores screwing up, the best! We hit walmart first, found that Alex's 2 year pics were in early and picked those up. Bonus there... Got the rest of the stuff we were there for and got out. Had perfect traffic getting out of there, and all the way to grocery store #1. Albertsons... just there for a couple things that were in the sale flyer, I found they also had lunchmeat on sale, another thing on my list. Or so I thought... they apparently had forgotten to pull tags from a previous ad and so they wound up giving me 3 pkgs of lunchmeat that is normally $3.50/pk for free! Whoohoo! Then on to grocery store #2... perfect hole in traffic out of the first store parking lot all the way into the turn lane to get to store #2 and what do I find? That I have a green light and no one in front of me! Excellent! So I had this scratch ticket from store #2 that gives me $5 off any of their brand of beef. So I get 2 free steaks :D yea for free beef! Then they have all these 2 for 1 deals and then I find cereal on sale, with an extra coupon, and a coupon taped to the box for a free box of bisquick, the big size even! Woot! More free stuff! So first store savings was over 50% and second store's savings was 62%, saving me around $100! Great shopping.. and I still managed to hit great traffic all the way home!!! I like shopping days like that... Now I get to sit and chill for a few hours until I get ready to go to work later... I close tonight. If it's as slow as it's been lately, we'll be out of there in no time. So all in all it's been a great day, and hopefully continues to be :D
