Busy Buying! And Juicing on a Budget!

I've had a busy day already! We've run so many errands and have hit two stores. I still need to hit Macey's, but that will be later. I hit Lolo's and Rancho Market and was pleased that at both stores I didn't have to wait in line forever.
I was going to take photos of my purchases but I was hungry so I just put it all away. Lots of fabulous produce deals that I just have to tell you about!

Rancho Market:

Apples 2 lb/.99

Cucumbers 2/$1

Green Beans .89/lb

Persian Limes 2 lb/.99

Carrots .79 per bag

kale .89 ea

Roma tomatoes 2 lb/.99

Cilantro 5/.99!!!

Cauliflower .89 ea

Watermelon 4 lb/.99

Then, at Lolo's:

Don Julio flour tortillas .78

Grapes .98/lb

Bananas .45/lb

Milk 2.39 per gallon (includes whole milk)

Bunch of Beets 1.63

Red Cabbage .38/lb

Ginger root 1.29/lb

You might have noticed that I bought some interesting produce. Having been dealing with health problems for some time now and having just been diagnosed with another one, I am looking for things I can do to help myself, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
You may have seen the show on Netflix called "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead." It showcases the benefits of juicing. I call it 'Juice Feasting' where others call it fasting. 
It is not an easy thing to do. I am committing to it just one day at a time. I have done it before for a short time and it did feel wonderful! 
Here's a problem, besides hunger, that people often run into when trying to juice; the cost! It can get very pricey as you go through so much produce for each drink!
I am so grateful to have stores like Rancho Market and Lolo's that make this adventure feasible!!! It still costs, but not nearly what it would if I were shopping anywhere else.
Even if you aren't doing something as drastic as juicing, fresh produce is still something that a lot of people don't feel they can afford for their everyday diet. Yet another reason to be grateful for these stores!! Please patronize them! We want to keep them here!!!   :)

Upcoming Awesomeness!!

So yesterday was rough for me. I woke up with a nasty cold while trying to work with my recent GERD diagnosis. Then, to top it off, I ripped open a big chunk of the bottom of my foot.
It was not so much fun. This morning I woke up not feeling so great. I babysat my darling nephew and he was such a treat! His happy little smile really helped!
My foot is still hurting badly but I am a stubborn old goat and a few things are still getting done. When I dragged myself out to the mail box after throwing out a stinky diaper, I was absolutely revitalized by what I found!
All the crappiness seemed to just life like a fog! I opened the new ads and this day has been redeemed! So many fabulous deals coming on Monday!!! I can hardly wait to hobble my way to these fabulous savings!!!

They've always got at least a few good deals, especially on produce! Sometimes it takes awhile to check out... They need more cashiers!

We also went apple picking at the Bishop's home this afternoon. I now have tons of lovely apples to turn into all kinds of yummy applesauce and apple pie filling! Just got to get around to doing it! :)

So busy!!

This has been a crazy day!! I am feeling so very productive! I have EARNED the guilty pleasure of catching up on episodes of Cup Cake Wars! :)
I sold my metal scrap and donated stuff to D.I. that just wasn't selling. Gotta get my junk inventory down to my goal!! Working hard at it! I haven't had time for tons of shopping as I have been so busy selling! It's funny; I was feeling all worried because I had put a LOT of money into discount plants and trees and mulch this last weekend for the garden project I am doing to honor my dad. My bank account was getting lower than I like it to be these days. I was about to sink into despair when I realized DUH! I have a shed full of money!!! So I put on my big girl pants and got myself busy! And I have far surpassed my earnings goal for the day and still have several people coming to pick stuff up today!
I am just so very blessed! The Lord knew that I needed to do my Wonderland Garden for my dad. He knew that my heart wouldn't make it through this ordeal without something good that was totally in my control and He totally provided a way to make it happen!
Plus, I just LOVE selling JUNK that other people threw away!! :)
I also finally finished renewing my driver's license! And hit Sam's Club! And then there was a wreck on the freeway exit and I was late picking up my daughter from school and couldn't find my phone to call a neighbor or anything. Arrgghh!! I am just so pooped!!!
But my daughter is home, my baby is in bed, my boy is not trying to bite anyone anymore, and I have a little bit of money in my jar. :)
Life is so good!! And tomorrow I will do a little shopping! Stay tuned my fellow warriors!

I really love Smith's! Especially the Payson store!! I love that they give overage on coupons! I love that they do so much clearance! I love how well I am treated! I just love that store!

Now I will take a nice long rest. :)

Even when sick

I have the most horrible head cold! I have been miserable for two days and had even thought of not shopping today. Luckily, with the help of dayquil, diet coke, and the good Lord, I was able to drag my kids (also sick) into Provo to do some shopping plus running several errands along the way! We're home now and I will be crashing after this post!!!
We hit Rancho Market first.

If you haven't been in there recently, you'll be delighted by all the improvements they've made! So much more room!
Bananas 3 lb/$1
Red delicious apples 2 lb/.99
Iceberg lettuce 2/.99
Wafer cookies .79
Peaches 2lb/.99
They also had Nectarines 4 lb/.99!! My kids don't really eat them though and I still can't chew (recent jaw procedure), so I skipped those. A great price though!!

Next was Lolo's:

We did really well and found lots of great surprise deals!

 Clearance Bread .50-.75 each
Sunbelt Chocolate Chip Granola Bars .99 ea
Oreos 1.99
-.75/2  Nabisco cookies

Nalley Chili .75 ea
The salmon was like $7.75 or something like that for a 2 lb package. Sorry I don't remember for sure. :/

Finally, we hit the Provo Smith's to see if we might find anymore clearance milk this time around. Sadly, there wasn't any, but we got a couple other goodies.

Bakery bread .59 each clearance rack
French's Flavor Marinade .75 clearance end cap
-$1/1 French's Flavor Marinade= FREE   **The Provo Smith's does not give you overage on coupons. It overrides them to match the actual price. Annoying, but FREE is still cool. :)

And now I will rest! :)

Awesome photo print deal!
