My husband was a rock star this year at Christmas. He really hit it out of the park. Not only did my 13 year old have a freak out moment, but I did also!
My sister and her husband went to Virginia for Christmas, she HATES to feel like she is missing out on anything, so we received no less than about 28 texts from her between Christmas Eve at 6pm and Christmas morning at 9am. When I was not responding fast enough, she finally couldn’t take it any longer and called.
“Merry Christmas Avery!” she said when the 7 year old answered.
“What did your Mom get for Christmas?”
“Um, she was really happy about a bracelet from my Dad, it came form her favorite grocery store.”
Awesome, my sister though. What a schmuck, he bought her a bracelet for Christmas from Kroger!
“From Kroger?” Anna asked.
“Um I think so, it had her name on it.” Avery explained.
Anna thought about it for a minute, “Avery, this is VERY important, was it in a BLUE box?”
“Yes it was, Grandpa said Dad is being cheap by buying things with her name already engraved on it.”
We all had a good laugh!
Soooo, it took 14 years, but he finally surprised me at Christmas! 🙂 I got not one, but TWO boxes from Tiffany’s this year. Pretty Cool!
P.S. It was funny, because I have never said anything, but I have always wanted something from there just because of the name thing. A Tiffany’s just recently opened close by and I never thought about it. On Christmas Eve after everyone was in bed, Paul asked what I had hoped I would get for Christmas. I couldn’t really think of anything, then out of nowhere I said, “You know, I have always wanted something from Tiffany’s, even something super small like a key chain or something, I’d take just the box!” He later said he was sooooo excited for me to open it ( he got me a bracelet and necklace) and be surprised. I was really a perfect Christmas for everyone!

This weekend you can expect to find 4 inserts! Wow, they are really loading us up aren’t they! The deals are great at CVS so grab some papers! To see what coupons you can expect to find go HERE.
** Disclaimer** This has NOTHING to do with couponing… My sister, her husband, Paul and I went to dinner tonight. If you live in the State of Texas and have not eaten at Perry’s in The Woodlands and had their pork chop, you have not lived. If you need a place to stay if you come into town to get a pork chop, give me a call! It takes them 3 days to make this masterpiece. It is soooo insanely good you will want one EVERY day, and will think about moving here just to live close by 🙂 Just a warning, they are a little pricey, we SHARE a plate and are sooo stuffed, I can’t imagine EVER ordering my own plate!
I saw this sign at my Randalls today. Look for it at your Safeway and affiliate stores.

While I am singing the praises of Susan’s shopping trips today, I am going to post her CVS trip that she had today…
“I started with 10 ecb, spent $8.58 out of pocket, but now have 14 ecb left. I rolled ecbs and had 5 transactions. I used coupons and rain checks.”
If I don’t get into my CVS by Monday, I figure everything is gone. Susan went TODAY and got all this!
