aylasmommy--did you get the cantelope from Albertsons? That 2 for $1 deal is GREAT!!!!

I am going tomorrow to get some.

**aylasmommy** · 08-08-2002, 06:30 PM

2 for 1? Hmm no I didn't see that deal

I must check that out!

I actually got it at Raley's each cantalope was 79 cents..which is probably a horrible deal now that i think of it lol! how heavy do those things get anyways?
I did notice Albertsons has ragu for .99 cents so I think I'll use my coupons there since I hate waiting for a good sale at ralphs and i'm afraid of their new multiple item policy

Wellll, my morning did NOT start off as planned, but DS#2 learned a valuable lesson: DO NOT leave the plug in the laundry room sink when Mom's doing the laundry (the washer empties into this sink!). I spent ninety minutes along with DS#2 cleaning the laundry room floor of the approximately 20 gallons of water that had overflowed! I didn't even get to see the movie I rented because of this. WAAAH!

OTOH, I went to Winco for groceries. I spent $104.44 but got two whole carts to tide us over for two weeks. This, along with some produce, will do very well!
