Kara's Publix Trip 11/28/12

Hey everybody! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I spent lots of time with family and stuffed myself til I was nearly sick lol. Then I enjoyed some shopping with my mom, sister and boyfriend from 8 pm to 6:30 am. I LOVE Black Friday! It excites me so much and I know a lot of people say it's crazy and I agree, it is, but I look forward to it all year long! I'm sure it has something to do with getting the same rush as when I'm at the checkout counter with all my coupons. And we all know how addicting that rush is lol. I was finally able to snatch some towels up this year before they were all gone and that was a big accomplishment! We needed the towels last year, but didn't get to them in time so this year it was number one on the list! Do you know how difficult it is to dry off with towels that have holes all in them? lol they were much needed! We was actually able to get everything we were after this year so it was a lot of fun, but very tiring!

 

I didn't get to Publix last week because of Thanksgiving which was fine because we had everything we needed for our Thanksgiving dinner and we had plenty of leftovers so I didn't have to worry about supper for a few nights. I did go to Publix today though and it's a good thing because my dad ate the last of the oreos from my shopping trip the week before last and he had no other snacks in the house (He can seriously eat anything and everything and not gain a pound! Makes me so jealous!) and we needed some things for supper the rest of the week!

 

The Publix ad this week wasn't great and I didn't do my best, but I'm still proud of it so here it is!
