NEX deals!
I just got back from a pretty wonderful shopping trip at the NEX! Here is what I bought and what I paid for it:
Scope Mouthwash: $3.59 + $.75 NEX coupon + $1.50 manufacturer's coupon = $1.34 per bottle! (They were advertised as $1 off, which was to be taken off at the register... the girl who checked me out must have been about 13 and clueless, so I wasn't going to argue with her, plus I was holding everyone up... but that would have been $.34 a bottle!)
Gillette Body Wash: $3.29 + $1 NEX coupon + $2 manufacturer's coupon = $.29 each!
Schick Quattro Razor for Men: $6.99 + $1 NEX coupon + $5 manufacturer's coupon = $.99!
Schick Quattro Razor for Women: $7.49 (why is the women's more expensive??) + $1 NEX coupon + $5 manufacturer's coupon = $1.49!
Bic Disposable Razors for Women 10 pack: $2.99 + $1 NEX coupon + $1 manufacturer's coupon = $.99!
Gillette Clinical Deodorant for Men: $7.69 + $2 NEX coupon + $2 manufacturer's coupon = $3.69 each! (Not as great of a bargain, but that's more than half off, so I consider it a win)
Playtex Gentle Glide Tampons: $6.89 + $1 NEX coupon + $4/2 coupon = $7.78 for 2 boxes (not my best deal, but it was almost BOGO)
Excedrin 24 Geltabs: $2.99 + $.50 NEX coupon + $.75 manufacturer's coupon = $1.74 (again, not the best deal, but we needed Excedrin, and I hardly ever find coupons for it)
Overall, I spent $35.02 on $84.02 worth of stuff! Since we probably won't use all this, I'm planning on putting together a donation box for this Christmas... or maybe send it through AnySailor. I'm sure someone out there needs four boxes of tampons! :) Happy shopping!!

Milspouse Friday Fill-in #63
- The best part of October was experiencing all the New England fall stuff I'd been missing out on, like pumpkin coffees at Dunks, and foliage, and crisp air, and visiting farms and apple orchards, etc .
- The worst part of October was I don't know... I don't have any bad memories of it... although I'm sure my blog would say different .
- For Halloween, I’ll be the Devil's Wife .
- I hope that in November we spend more time planning our weekends than arguing over who said what .
- Wifey has posted MilSpouse Secret Santa. I will be participating.
Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you all have a great weekend. Since I'll be away from my computer tomorrow, I thought I'd take this opportunity to say:
Happy 16th Navy Anniversary, Hubby!!!!!

Happy Friday, everyone! Man, these questions were rather broad and hard to answer, but I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else came up with!

My wake-up routine
10:00pm: Decide to fall asleep. End up laying in bed for an hour, wide awake, with thoughts floating in my head.
Sometime around 2am: Get woken up by husband, for various reasons, including getting kneed or smacked. Wake him up or push him back to his side, then try to fall asleep.
Sometime around 4am: Wake up freezing cold because Hubby has rolled himself up in the bed linens like a burrito, leaving me laying on a bare mattress. End up getting a mini shoulder workout, trying to pull the covers back to my side. Make mental note to purchase more flannel pjs. Go back to sleep.
5:30am: Get woken up by Hubby's alarm clock, which doesn't wake him up. Kick him until he gets outta bed. Sigh when he hits the snooze and crawls back in bed for five more minutes. Try to fall back asleep as he schleps through the house while getting ready for work.
6:30am: Get pleasantly woken up by Hubby when he kisses me goodbye. Still wake up if he doesn't kiss me goodbye and instead slams the door. Try to fall back asleep.
7:00am: Finally fall back asleep.
7:01am: Get woken up by both boys, climbing on top of me, demanding orange juice and Cheerios, pushing each other, and eventually screaming and crying.
7:02am: Kick the boys out of my room and tell them to go play with toys in the living room until I get up.
7:30am: Give up after laying in bed for 28 minutes, listening to two little boys try to kill each other / burn the house down, when I really wanted to be sleeping. Silently cheer when I realize there's a hot pot of coffee ready for me, courtesy of Mr. Coffee's delay mode.
8:00am: Look forward to bed time.
