Stuff

I have not given up on plugging Ron Paul for President, and here is just one more reason to like him. Authentic

I had Ashley and Christy over on Firday afternoon for one last playdate before they headed back to Brazil. All 3 of our families had one sort of sickness or another so we all hung out in a coughing, runny nose, fever frenzy. Baby Nate was sick as well but plodded on to work because he was going to be on TV. Our local development authority had picked his business to receive aid and support from the statewide developmental authority that operates out of Georgia Tech. Over the past year his has been given the resources of the Tech people to grow and promote his business. His business was the poster model and has exceeded expectations so he had a crowd out Friday for the demos and taping of the TV and radio slots.

I had a blast at CVS on Sunday picking up all the practically free stuff I got. I'm still tweaking my method but I did pretty well. I got $35 of stuff for $11 out of pocket and used up $12 of ecb and $7 of store coupons plus $3 of manufactors coupons, but I walked out with 22 ecb plus $14 of in store coupons. I figured that I actually spent $1 for all the stuff I got, however the goal is to not spend money while increasing ecb so I lost $1 on this transaction, but I found a way to make it up this next weekend plus increase by $3. It is kinda confusing but some of the most fun I've had in a while. (yes I do need to get out more!)
