This a small haul that I purchased at Top’s yesterday. I have been waiting for a sale on the Softsoap. I buy my liquid soap in bulk refill containers. But the Softsoap containers that I pour it into stop working after a while. Mine are at that point so I purchased these to replace them on sale at 8/$10. yesterday. I have 4 sinks in my home so the other 4 will go into my stockpile for the next time I need them. The mayonaise was $ 3.79 after using a $2.00 Top’s super coupon. Mayonaise is so expensive that I only buy it with a coupon. I also purchased B2G3F 12 packs of Zero Sugar Fanta Orange. I like to have this stocked but I left the 5 of them in the garage so they will get super cold out there. They cost $20.98 for all 5 which was $4.196 a 12 pack. At Walmart I would have paid $ 8.92 a 12 pack. So my bill before tax and bottle deposits was $34.77. They took 6% off for the Senior Discount which was $2.09. The total was then $ 32.68. Tax was $2.48(8%) on the soda and soap and the total bottle deposit was $ 3.00 ($.05 each) which I will get back when I return the cans. Food is not taxed in NY. So my actual total was $ 38.16. I am tracking all of the taxes I pay in NY this year along with every other penny. I am actually considering stopping at Top’s again tomorrow to get more soda because I have a doctor’s appointment one block from there. I don’t believe I will ever see soda this cheap again.
Today will be a laundry and reorganizing the kitchen day. Two loads will go in the washing machine using cold water and minimal soap( about 2 Tbsps.) for each load. One load will be put in the dryer with my wool balls and one load will be hung to dry. I just don’t have the space to hang 2 loads.
Brunch will be Chef’s salad and dinner will be take out Chinese. I was too tired last night to go get the take out so we had chicken and mac and cheese instead.
I wish it would warm up. We have so much salt and dirty snow on the garage floor that has fallen in chunks off the car. But it is too cold to work out there to remove it. I will squeege it out if it gets a little warmer. I also need to get the car washed but our roads are so slushy and dirty right now it would be senseless.
I am off to start my work for the day. I need to take some breaks in between so I am starting an important post about credit which I will write when I take the breaks. It will get posted sometime tommorow.

Hi Precious, that was a good deal on the softsoap. I got some cheap at Walmart after Christmas. I don’t care that it has Rudolph on it. LOL! I haven’t been to the store yet this week, but loaded my digital coupons and checked out the Kroger ad. I will make my list later today. Mayonnaise is very expensive here also.
We have leftovers to eat up tonight and tomorrow when the family comes, I am just going to make some of the chicken sausages with buns that we got at Costco last week. I am looking forward to your post about credit, I know we will learn something.
Hi Chris,
You made me laugh on Rudolph. For the past year, I have been stocking my wrap drawer with Christmas baggies that I purchased a couple of years ago for $.19 a box. So Santa is wathing me all year.
Good luck on your shopping. I don’t understand why the mayo is so expensive escpecially since the price of egg is way down.
Thanks for the compliment. I am working on it.
Since Chris can’t live without Amazon (granted we live in the boonies and shopping options are limited) I got 4 Hellmanns on Subscribe and Save for 2.99 ea
Soda is on sale this week for B3G3 (sounds like a deal but its still 6.00/12)
Someone broke the pump on my shampoo bottle completely off (cat?) so I ordered another since I would pour way to much out than the 1/2 pump I need.
One another thing I am doing is instead of my usual fruit and yogurt afternoon snack, I am trying to use up the protein,fruit,snack bars and beef sticks that I have accumulated in my desk drawer.
Hi Patti,
That is one heck of a deal on Amazon for the mayo. The soda does sound like a deal but you know that you always have to do the math before you buy it. My store does up the price of the free 12 packs to the point where sometimes it is not a good deal. This deal was so good this week that I am going back today for more.
Those darn cats!
I love that you are using up those snacks.
Thanks for sharing!
