01.31.09 Breakfast at Jamba Juice, Lunch at Ruby Tuesday, & Dinner at Home

Got in 9 hours of sleep! 12:30am - 9:30am! Beautiful Day Out! 45 Degrees:)

Had to run out to two banks...needed to withdraw money at one and deposit it at another. 

After that I headed to Jamba Juice again, since it was the last day my printable coupon for steel cut organic oatmeal was good...a cup for a buck. I got the Fresh Banana Steel Cut Oats and a Strawberry Nirvana sixteen. (450 cal, 4g fat, 9g fiber, 16g protein)

After breakfast I went to Cub Foods because Amanda (our dog) needed dog food. I also bought two cans of Healthy Valley Organic Chili ($1/2 coupon = $4), South Beach Mocha FiberFit Bars ($2 off coupon at South Beach Site = $0.50), 2 jars Smuckers Natural Peanut Butter $4, 1 box Cinnamon Puffins $3, 1 box Peanut Butter Puffins $3, 2 Boxes Murray SF Shortbreads ($5 - 0.50 = $4.50), Calorie Countdown ($4 - $1 off any milk coupon from Murray Shortbreads box = $3), Grocery Total = $22

I was on my way to Rainbow next but was diverted by a World Market Going Out Of Business Sign!!! I loved that store...they have the most beautiful gift wrap and exotic foods...there is no other store in Minnesota like it! Everything was 10-40% off and the whole store was pretty much picked over...I bought Green and Yellow Curry $4, 2 Cans Pacific Organic White Bean Soup $4, 2 Cans Pacific Organic Chicken Fajita Soup $4, 2 boxes Lite Harvest Zesty Lemon Cookies $7, and a bar of 99% Cacao Dark Chocolate $2...Total was $21.

Ate one of the South Beach Mocha FiberFit Bars...

Last stop was Rainbow because it was the last day of the soup sale. Got six cans of soup ($13.50 - $5/4 - $2 - $1 = $5.50), Kemp's has come out with a No Sugar Added Ice Cream Sandwich! $3.50, and Cheese was on sale, got 4 - 8oz bags for $4! Total = $13

Since I had everything cold in a freezer bag I stopped by our old place to work outside for an hour since it was a lovely 45 degree day! 

I shoveled and chipped ice so I could open the door to get inside our screened porch in the back. I got our Amana Grill and Dave's Welder and Tool Chest out and loaded the Welder and Tool Chest in the back of the van and ratcheted the grill to the rectangular platform on the back of the van. Then I went inside to the kitchen and packed up more of our kitchen stuff we were missing and our Michael Graves Dish Drainer.

Drove home to the new place and unloaded everything. Dave and Angie were feeling much better so we went out to Stillwater so Angie could shop for khaki pants for work at Kohl's. I helped her find 3 pairs that fit her well...she's a size 8 petite and also found her one pair of comfortable jeans. Also, I found two pairs of sweater tights that actually fit me...long enough:)

While we were in Kohl's, Dave surprised us by picking up our friend Anna...a funny, older lady that used to live in the same apartment complex as us about 7 years ago in Stillwater. We all went to Ruby Tuesday for a late lunch and ate really well.

I had the White Bean Chicken Chili Soup, plate of salad, one more plate with a mini salad and cottage cheese with sunflower seeds, and a Diet Coke.

After that we went to Walmart and got a few things we needed...Tuna was 68 cents a can...best price I've seen!, Lean Ham, and Yogurt. We then dropped Anna off at her place and went home since Angie needed to get some sleep since she works at 4am tomorrow morning.

Dave and I dropped her off and went to Carmike to see Bride Wars. It was a really good movie! Lots of funny scenes...Kate and Anne did a great job! Chris Pratt was Anne's fiance...he was Amy's brother on Everwood...and Steve Howie was Kate's fiance...he was Cheyenne's husband on Reba. Kate's brother was Bryan Greenberg...he was Nick Garrett from October Road. 

I'm glad we had to chance to watch it on the big screen...this was the first movie we've gone out to see this year.

Stopped at Target on the way home since we were out of cough drops $1...also bought some body wash $4, Sugar Free Sweethearts $2, No Sugar Added Del Monte Peach Cups $2, and two South Beach Diet Pizzas ($5 - $2 off coupon = $3) = $12

Came home and baked the South Beach Diet Pizzas and ate those for dinner and watched the latest Giada at Home off our DVR.

Going to bed earlier since I have to pick up Angie at 8am and work at 6am Monday morning!

01.30.09 Breakfast at Jamba Juice

I got in 9 hours of sleep...2:30am - 11:30am. Woke up and got dressed and headed out to do some grocery shopping.

First stop was Jamba Juice since I had a cup for a buck coupon for their oatmeal. 

I got the Blueberry & Blackberry Organic Steel Cut Oats and a Jamba Light Berry Fulfilling. (450 cal, 4g fat, 10g fiber, 15g protein) So delicious! I would definitely go there again!!!
