Off to a good start

I've decided to scrap the best/worst of 2005 explanations. It just seems wrong to be talking about 2005 now that it's 2006. In hindsight, I should have started it earlier so it would be done by New Year's Eve, but I didn't. I don't think that will crush anyone.
I am off today and for the next two days. Today I went to Walgreens to keep my loaned New Year's Resolution (thanks Jen) to enhance my financial situation by taking full advantage of the Easy Saver Rebate Club while combining the rebates with coupons found in the newspaper. (I kind of forgot about the coupon part, though, and just did the rebate part.) What did I buy?

Fish oil capsules- I don't need them, but they're free and they sound healthy
tampons and pads- let's face it, they're a necessity if you're a woman, and this way they're cheaper
Cottonelle moist wipes: for that fresh, clean feeling after the dirty deed
Kleenex moist wipes: for when you're in the car eating (peanuts, perhaps?)and you need a moist napkin
Isadora mascara: nevermind that I ran out 2 weeks ago and had already bought more. It's free.
Toothbrush: Thanks to easysaver, I haven't had to spend my own money on a toothbrush for over a year and a half
personal lubricant: umm, it was free.
3 Pepsi 12-packs (Diet Pepsi, Diet Mountain Dew, and Sierra Mist Free): for lunches at work. They'll be free after the rebate
Cottonelle toilet paper: you know, those ripples really do make you feel cleaner
Tums smoothie (tropical fruit flavor): I don't have heartburn, but someday I might be with someone who has a heartburn crisis and then I'll have saved the day. And they're free.

Then I went grocery shopping. There I bought:

Fuji apples
oranges
eggs
Healthy Life bread
Jif creamy peanut butter (to put on healthy bread)
cheese
Old Orchard 75% less sugar juice in Apple Cranberry and plain Apple
Dannon and Yoplait light yogurts
pork roast
ham and turkey deli meat
Wolfgang Puck soups in a variety of flavors
whole wheat pasta
three cheese marinara sauce (Shop & Save brand)
cat food (because although I don't have a cat, my dog insists on eating all of my mom's cat's food)

So you see, so far I have managed to keep 3 of my resolutions: I took advantage of January's EasySaver, I didn't let anyone I know have circus ass, and I avoided styrofoam.

So far, so good....
