I got my first pay check this Friday. Though I have worked before this in the US prior to going back to school but I considered this as my first professional job in the US. I wanted to threat my family to an expensive ‘restaurant’ dinner but I changed my mind when I got out of the training class at 2:30am. I thought there were ample of time to do some grocery shoppings and ample time to prepare a delicious meal for the family :).
I went to the store to get some seafood , fruits and dessert. I got some shrimps, crab cake, snow crab, water melon, honey dew , a big chocolate cake and 4 packs of Dove’s rick dark chocolates.
I remembered I bought some Roni rice with Italian cheese and herbs way back when I started couponing and I have not used them . So, I cooked the 2 packets of rice and they turned out to be so delicious that my hubby asked me if we could have Roni Rice more often :). I remembered with coupons, they only cost me 50cents for 2 packs from publix :).
This coming week, CVS has a special offer for Clear and Clean product, you buy $15 of the product, they gives you $5 store credit back.

Well, I went to Walgreen today, they would not let me use the B1G1 coupon from the newspaper for the Loreal shampoo, it is a shame ! Otherwise, I would have gotten them free, oh well ! The manager said ‘by law’ I cannot use my newspaper B1G1 free, since they are already offered B1G1 free, but, I think she is wrong. But, I do not want to make her life miserable (she is a trainee), so I did not pursue to want to see her boss. I have used B1G1 coupon before in the same store , I do not think it is a ‘by law’, it is more of if it is a store policy or not. I hope she knew my blog was mentioned in our local newspaper woman’s blog and I am sure there are a number of women in my town read my blog :).
