How to turn a BAD day into a START the CAR moment!!!

Today started off horrible, I was 1 1/2hrs late for work http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/b...miley-late.gif and when I called
into work my boss was actually ok as it happens sometimes http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p...uva/whew-1.gif

Needless to say as the day passed by it seem to get worse -
but the tables turned around on my way home

Stopped into Zellers as they are in their final clearance days to see what kind of deals I could find
as I am despritely seeking casual work clothes

Here is what I managed to snag

However I did NOT pay that and if my math is correct this is where my START THE CAR moment happens

I used 6 x $5 Kellogg's Gas Cards to bring my OOP down to $33.79 :top:

I will get back $33 for the mail in rebates :excited: bringing my cost for all 5 PF products to $3.79 :biggrin:

Today I received 20x on each one earning me essentially $10 back (8,000 redemption) so I am ahead $6.21 :top:

I will also receive another 20x the points on Mar 13th for the bonus coupon used today (another $10 redemption) bringing my ahead gain at SDM to $16.21 :excited:

So in the end when everything goes threw I will have paid $8.38 FOR EVERYTHING TODAY
(Zellers $24.59 - $16.21)
and I didn't use a single COUPON on anything

Now if that is not a START THE CAR moment, I don't know what is http://i771.photobucket.com/albums/x...happydance.gif
