I purchased $500+ more in Home Depot gift cards from Gift Card Rescue today. They were discounted 8%. I still have to pay for the downstairs carpet, which will be another $2500 in a month or so, so I'm trying to get a couple thousand more in cards. They go pretty fast.

I also got a $50 Home Depot card for Mother's Day. Every year mom wants bedding plants for Mother's day, but it's too early to plant them here. So if I buy them for her and she has to keep them in her garage for 2 or 3 weeks. Last year I started buying her gift cards so she can buy them herself when she's ready to plant them. She gets $50 worth of plants and I only paid $46, enough left to buy the card

I was looking at cards at Walmart yesterday - so ridiculous. The average card was over $5 and I didn't see any under $3. I'll look at Walgreens or one of the grocery stores before deciding.

I went to Safeway today and picked up 2 bottles of Kraft salad dressing for .98 after coupon.

Coupon total ytd = 113.51
RX total = 79.45
Discounted Gift Cards = 95.41
Total = 288.37

I got a 3 free Atkins bars in the mail as samples this week. I tried the chocolate, caramel, peanut nugaunt (sp) one and it was surprisingly good. I'll have to see what the others are like.

I also got a rebate check for $4.31 in the mail.

I finished reading the library book Loose Ends by Tara Janzen. Mystery/Romance - very good.
