********
When you purchase the freebies, you must purchase an additional $10. of non-rebated items per transaction to qualify for the rebate. You can get as many freebies as you want per transaction with only one $10. additional purchase. ((**You can get a $10. Gift card if you don't need anything right now!**)) Your rebate will come in the form of a Merchandise Check. Which means you must spend it at Menards, (I just use mine for more freebies!)

***

It's been reported that you do not have to spend the $10. and you will still get your rebate. Since the ad says you're supposed to I still think we should as to not take advantage of the program. You can use your own judgement! Thanks for letting us know!

******

You do not need to purchase any additional $$ if you are only getting the rebated items that are not free.

Weekly Groceries & Smoothie Recipe!

My Kroger Store is CLOSING... GRRRR
I wasn't able to get a few items I was going to get
because many shelves were already bare.
I still have a Kroger 9 miles North of me and 15 miles South of me but there are no towns left that have a Meijer and Kroger. BLAH!!!!
Anyway I only spent $38.31 this week...

At Kroger I spent $21.18 for 30 items saving 49%
and $16.50 at Meijer for 31 items saving $29.94
****
Totals
$38.31 for 61 items or .63 cents per item.
I stocked back up on icecream.
We were actually completely out which is a NO-NO at our house! Hubby and the kids NEED it almost every night! Well and I'll admit I LOVE IT too but I don't eat it but maybe once a week!!

The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood -- idols that cannot see or hear or walk.

Masterpiece
Battleship

Things I Love Thursday - Garden

I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it before but
I LOVE MY GARDEN!!!
Here's an update...

This was taken over a week ago.
I've meant to do a garden update days ago and well you know how it is...
It just didn't get done!!!

The peppers were weighing the poor plant down
to the ground so I had to stake it up.
Worked pretty good!

I whined for weeks saying I think I just have green tomatoes and that would never turn but one day we found this and since I've harvested about 5 red tomatoes. (yes that was a long sentence!) Patience is something I'm not good with a lot of the time!!!

My tomato row looked like this before we went camping for the weekend. While we were gone we apparently had a major rain down pour or wind and it left my tomato row looking like this...

I can't seem to fix them either.
So There goes a bunch of tomatoes hidden under being smashed with no sunlight. We'll see how they do.

And oh I just adore the little tiny watermelons growing so quickly. I can seriously see the difference from one day to the next!
My 10 yr old shares my excitement and
goes out early every morning to give me a report!!!
***
So how's your garden doing???
Leave your link in the comments I'd love to come check it out!
