BOY! What a day!!

[leeleelala]

People: Me
Keith, my 10 yrs old cousin
Clarence, friend’s 8 yrs old AKA “The Kids”
Place: Boxgrove & Legacy, Markham
Time: Saturday, September 5, 2009 1:30p.m.-5:30p.m.

After lunch today, the kids went to Rexall with me for some hardcore shopping (I crunched the flyer so many times last night and even have a list of things that I’m going to pick up) The kids either go with me and then we go to the park after or they’ll go grocery shopping with my aunt. Of course, go with me ROCK!!!

Since we’re going to the park afterward, we decided to walk there so they could ride their scooter. When we’re almost there, Clarence accidentally tripped and his knee was bleeding. There’s no way in the world that I’m going spend 20 minutes to head back home so I decided to pick up bandages and other antiseptic supplies from Rexall. Instead of buying bandages and stuff individually, I picked up the J&J First Aid Kit with my J&J Replacement coupon (something I’ve been contemplating on getting) While the manager was trying to figure out that coupons, Keith ran up to me excitedly and told me about all the coupons in the flyers. He even told me to get the Cascade cos he knew I had some coupons. Kind of embarrassing as he was screaming about coupons all the way!


After I got Clarence “fixed” (YES! Apparently it doesn’t hurt anymore after you give them a bandage! ) I head over to the post office to mail my trains before I start my shopping. While the lady was weighing my letters, I realized that I forgot my wallet at home! I can’t even tell the kids to wait for me at Starbucks cos I have no $$ to buy them a drink and sit down.
Off to home we go. When we got home, Keith was upset because there’s something wrong with his scooter and he still want to ride it but afraid that something will happen. It took me a while to make him happy again and then I just grabbed my wallet and go. Keith asked if we should leave the First Aid Kit at home but I goes “NAH...” cos I was in a hurry to go shopping.

When we almost got to Rexall, Clarence’s elbow was bleeding from a fall last week. Thank goodness I have the First Aid Kit with me so I “fixed” him again!

When we got the Rexall, it took me a while to figure out on what to get, calculate AMs, coupons hassles, yaddi yaddi yadda..this is what I scored:

1x Swiffer Sweeper VAC on sale for $33.99 & Refills on sale for $4.99-$6 coupon-MIR= +$6

9x Dove GoFresh 2x90g soap on sale for $1.99-9x$1 coupon=$ 8.91 (I wanted to buy more but they only have 10, so I picked up 9 for the 10 AMs WUB 3 Dove promo)
