D-E-A-L-ish

Yesterday it hit 90°F here in Phoenix. That's blazing hot for November!

Good thing I stocked up on my favorite deodorant at Walgreens (ArridXX on sale this week for $1.50 - $1 coupon at boodle.com, coupons.com = $0.50)

Just a reminder, the Safeway baking promotion ends tomorrow (11/9). This week the cake mix is on sale 10/$10, so it's essentially the same deal...buy 10 and you get $10 off, so you basically only pay tax. The flour is still 2/$5, the cookies are still 2/$3, and the boxed muffin mix is still 2/$4 (with the $0.50 coupons online, you can get these for free after the promotion). The little bags of muffin mix are now on sale 10/$10, so you can also buy ten of those for free. The Wesson oil is part of the deal too, and it's on sale for 2/$5, and with the $.30 coupon in Sunday's paper this makes it $0.60 after the promotion.

You don't even want to know how many boxes of cake mix and icing and cookies are currently in my kitchen. After I sort out the keepables (I won't have to buy flour for a year, yaaaaaaaaaaay), I will be heading to the food banks. Everyone needs sugar for the holidays! ::grin::

To be entered for all sorts of free goodies, I have to link to a favorite post on My Money Blog...and if you've been paying attention, you'll know that I have found My Money Blog particularly helpful in getting my finances/budget in order, lowering monthy bills, and organizing my financial accounts, just to name a few.  Since I have already linked to a few posts I have found especially worthwhile, I figured I would just compile some of my favorites here:
