Welcome Wednesday
Luster Canyon derived from the need for products I could use on my own overly sensitive skin. That first batch of handcrafted lotion has grown into my passion for creating and sharing the benefits of my products with others. Stop by my blog and read about our products, new creations and find out more about me, Stacie, my family and some of the random life moments that present themselves as I mix and measure my way through this adventure.
My blog is the manifestation of my personal love for writing and also serve as a way of documenting my life's ups and downs in life. "14th Street' is a place I envisioned as one where people live together in peace, love and respect for each other either life is good or bad.
I am a simple lady, trying to pursue my dreams and one of them is becoming a writer which is my hidden desire since I was a child. Writing a good article for my blog is a satisfaction for me and these are my masterpieces because I believe that "Far and Away, the best prize which life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work which is worth doing - and one of them is blogging"
What's neat about our Blog Hop:

renamed their plain M&Ms as milk chocolate M&Ms. As they
noted, their chocolate has been too good to be called plain!

Never worry
Never worry about tomorrow, my friend.
God will send the rising of the sun.
Do not anguish over past mistakes
That can never be undone.
Never waste a single precious moment
On things that bring sorrow to the heart.
Always use each day to fashion
Into a lovely work of art.
Today comes only once, my friend.
Remember it will never return.
Think, and use it wisely while you can
So many important lessons yet to learn.
Never worry. Enjoy this beautiful day.
Forget frustrations. Let them slip away.
Fill this day with happiness and love.
Thank God for all blessings from above.

Meet Me on Monday
Every Monday she will post five get to know you questions that you can copy and paste into your own Monday post. Hop in and have a great week.
Questions:
1. Are you a collector of anything?
2. Do you have any tattoos or piercings?
3. What is your favorite salad dressing?
4. What was the last thing that you ate?
5. What was the last movie that you saw?
My answers:
1. I am not a specific collector of anything any more. I use to collect everything Steve Yzerman, but then it just got too expensive to get all the good things. Now i just get things that only have meaning or really catch my eye.
2. Do you have any tattoos or piercings?
No i do not have any Tattoos... I have toyed with the idea of getting one, but never have.
Piercings - yes i have my ears pierced (twice) and my belly pierced...
3. What is your favorite salad dressing?
I like French or Catalina ... Especially with Hard boiled eggs :D yummy!
4. What was the last thing that you ate?
Sigh, the last thing i ate was Oreo Cookies and Milk... :( Not the best for the figure, but it was Sure YUMMY!
5. What was the last movie that you saw?
The last movie i saw was Losers - in the theater. Otherwise if it is a movie on at home, i only 1/2 pay attention to it.

I cleaned them out - they only had 11... and i asked the associate if they could see if another target had any more... and the next closes had 24 bags on hand... So guess where i went! Yep, you guessed it... Target! I picked up another 18 bags... and checked out... Total OOP for 29 10lb bags of cat litter.... 18.40! That was including Tax! The cats are definatly set for the year now :D The cashier at the first target was sooo impressed at what 11bags cost me ($3.34)...

Walgreens Sale
I had the GREATEST cashier and Manager Combo at Walgreens today!
First of all, i had the 10.00 P&G RR from a purchase made earlier in the week...and knowing ahead of time, that if i tried to use that to buy more gillette products, the RR wouldnt print out....So... I tried to look for the Nutrogena Soap bars for 2.99 - buy 3 of them get a 10.00 rr... Sadly, my walgreens was COMPLETELY out of them....(and they had TONS of the gillette in stock... Sigh... So i asked what i could do, and told them the scenerio... i was wanting to get the Nutrogena for the 10.00 rr so i could purchase free body wash.
Their conclusion was to bypass scanning the 10.00 RR and typing it in manually. YES! my savior! :D and they even gave me a raincheck in case they dont get the Nutrogena in before the RR deal is over :) WAHOO!!!
this is my GREAT Deal :
3 Gillette Body Wash @ 4.49
2 Gillette Deodorant @ 4.49
1 Gillette Deodorant @ 4.99
1 Bayer Cheweables @ 2.99
2 Bengay Massage Cream @ 4.99
1 Visine @ 4.79 (not shown, because hubby is already using it)
3 WAG Gummie Bears (fillers) @ .39 each
3 John Fredia Root Awakening Products @ 5.00 each
Coupons Used
WAG Coupon 2.00 off Bayer
WAG Coupon .80 off Visine
3 B1G1 Gillette Body Wash Coupon (buy 1 deodorant get wash free)
1 4.00/2 Gillette Deodorant Coupon
1 2.00/1 Gillette Deodorant Coupon
2 5.00/1 Bengay Coupons
3 3.00/1 John Fredia
1 1.00/1 Bayer
1 2.00/1 Visine
1 10.00 RR
1 2.50 RR
Total OOP 5.54 (including the 6% Michigan Sales Tax)
Received:
1 - 5.00 RR for John Fredia
1 - 10.00 RR for Gillette
And best of all, there were no MAJOR beeps! The only time it beeped was because i orignally had 2 of the 2.50 rr and 1 10.00 rr... thinking that the total befor tax was going to be at least 15.00 so i could use all three...so they gave me my 1 2.50RR back and i can shop some more :)
Thank you WildforWags for posting the great deal match-ups :D
